RF Remote Transmitter Housing

RF Remote Transmitter Housing

Description

One of my customers asked for a remote start option for one of their pallet wrappers. I have these rf remotes that I buy on Ebay for less than 10 dollars each, but I didn’t want my customer to know my price on these because I am charging substantially more than 10 dollars each. So I designed this little housing for an rf transmitter. Plus, with my housing, I can mount it on a forklift and it looks a little more industrial. Of course you can choose any color combination that you like. I chose red and yellow for high visibility. Pop the transmitter case open from the side with the keychain ring using a single edge razor blade. After it is open a little bit you can stick a small flat screwdriver in there to pry it open the rest of the way. Take out the circuit board and silicone mask. Place the housing upside down on a flat surface. Press the circuit board into the silicone mask then start the mask on a slight angle starting with the LED through the hole. Pick it up, wiggle it around to make sure it is settles and the black button is in the middle of its hole then slide the base over the housing leaving them both inverted. Squeeze them together then flip it over. Pressing the housing into the base, then start the 4 screws. Use #4 X 3/8” pan head sheet metal screws. It’s a tight fit and you have to hold it compressed while tightening the 4 screws. If it presses too tight then the transmitter may not work. I had that happen to one of mine. Press the black button and look for the LED to light up. If it doesn’t light up then remove the housing from the base and drill or grind a slight indentation in the base where the battery holder prong is located. Re-assemble and try it again. I only had that happen to one of my transmitters so I did not add an indentation to the base for that one. Printed in ABS 0.2 layer at 50% infill
