BALE WRAP REMOTE CONTROL KIT
Over the years we have seen many problems with infrared remote wrap controls. These usually stem from either sunlight interfering with the optical signal or deterioration of the screen/light transmitters. Usually we have been set the task of repairing the handsets and controls, until we had the idea to design a replacement. This design was to be a simple handset and receiver box that used RF instead of light beams. With simple robust handset and replaceable battery which included for safety reasons, a two button press to start the wrap This handset proved very popular with local trade farmers. After a redesign to a smaller simple receiver box we have decided to release for general sale. Two button start control to prevent accidental start.

We have now also developed remote kits for Kverneland balers too. Since the Kverneland control lacks the 9-pin connector, this requires us drilling into the box to add our own cable with a 3-pin connector. We can then add a small infrared receiver to work with the Kverneland infrared remote or our own RF receiver and remote kit.

We also can modify the old Tanco control (in a similar way to the Kverneland one) to give a new cable and connector to the current infrared remote and receiver that can be changed for our own RF remote and receiver. In the example shown below we made a remote with just two buttons to allow for a simple Start and Stop operation, matching the Auto and Stop buttons on the Tanco infrared remote.

We have not yet developed a remote control compatible with the Dowdeswell bale wrap control. If anyone has a spare control or one that will not be needed for an extended period of time, please feel free to get in touch and we can start on the project of making a working remote kit.
