  • IMI Electric Rigger Issue

    From Larry Ruggiero@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 20 16:20:21 2023
    Anyone else have their riggers quit responding to its remote(s)? Tried changing remote battery and of course powering rigger off and back on, but nadda. Of course mine developed this issue just past the 2 year warranty. I assume it’s the receiver in
    the rigger itself; wonder if it can be accessed/ removed for repair or replacement. The rigger is great, however having to go back and forth to its main control panel for adjustments sorta defeats the purpose. I’ve sent an email to IMI, awaiting a
    response.

    Never had a problem. However, wireless reversing motor control switches are not expensive. This one look to be heavy duty, there are cheaper ones also:

    Had to replace the controller this year. Had to buy 3 types to get one running, cost is near to nil.
    Right type is KR1204 with remote control AK-RK04S-II + AK-FS04A.
    How to use:
