In the heavy industries of mining, construction, and transport, your equipment is only as good as your ability to control it. For many operators, that control comes down to a high-end Scanreco Radio Remote.
But there’s a recurring (and expensive) nightmare for fleet managers: an operator finishes a long shift, stows the outriggers, hops in the cab, and drives off—leaving a $3,000+ transmitter sitting on a toolbox or the back of a truck. By the time they realise it’s gone, it’s either lost on a highway or crushed under another vehicle.
At Aus-Tec, we’ve found the ultimate “insurance policy” for your gear: the Faber-Com ‘Don’t Forget Me’ device.
What is the ‘Don’t Forget Me’ System?
The ‘Don’t Forget Me’ is a compact safety module designed specifically to prevent the accidental loss or damage of radio remote transmitters. It acts as an intelligent alarm system that bridges the gap between the machine’s operation and the remote’s location.
The Technical Breakdown: How It Works
The beauty of this system lies in its simple, fail-safe logic. The device is typically integrated into the vehicle’s dashboard or control panel and wired into the handbrake or PTO (Power Take-Off) circuit.
- Monitoring the Link: The system constantly monitors the status of the radio receiver.
- The Logic Trigger: If the operator attempts to release the handbrake or disengage the PTO while the transmitter is still powered “ON” (active) and hasn’t been returned to its cradle, the circuit is completed.
- The Alert: The device immediately triggers a high-decibel audible buzzer and a high-visibility flashing LED.
It’s an unmissable reminder that says: “Stop! Your remote is still out there.”
Key Benefits for Your Operation
- Zero Downtime: Losing a remote doesn’t just cost the price of the hardware; it sidelines the machine for days while a replacement is sourced and programmed. This device keeps your fleet moving.
- Rugged Construction: Built by Faber-Com for harsh environments, the unit is vibration-resistant and designed to handle the dust and heat of Australian job sites.
- Safety Compliance: Leaving an active remote unattended is a safety hazard. This system ensures that remotes are powered down and stored correctly, maintaining a secure site.
Universal Integration
While it is the perfect partner for Scanreco G2B and G3 systems, its universal 12V/24V compatibility means it can be adapted to almost any industrial remote setup, from concrete pumps to recovery cranes.
Don’t Leave Your Assets Behind
A Faber-Com ‘Don’t Forget Me’ unit costs a fraction of a new transmitter. It’s the smartest investment you can make to protect your technology and your bottom line.
