R170 Receiver

The R170 Receiver series is a family of trusted wireless remote receivers manufactured by Omnex. These units pair with compatible Omnex T-series handheld transmitters to enable secure radio control of industrial equipment and mobile machinery. Each receiver takes radio frequency signals from a paired transmitter and translates them into control commands for the connected equipment.

Across the series, the receivers communicate over CAN bus and register inputs such as switches, paddles, joysticks, and potentiometers. Many operate at 2.4 GHz using an external antenna connection and support functions including emergency stop circuits through a proprietary pairing protocol.

Common Applications

R170 receivers are used where reliable wireless equipment control and safety operation are required, including:

• Cranes and hoists
• Material handling systems
• Industrial mobile equipment and machinery
• Heavy machinery such as crushers

The series spans multiple part numbers and revisions — including models such as the R170-000205, R170-000211, R170-000222, R170-000228, and R170-000232 — covering standard and universal receiver variants within the same product family.
