IK4 is the most configurable console box from the Ikontrol transmitters range. It is used for applications, which demand up to 8 proportional outputs and 20 auxiliary mechanisms.
Machines such as shotcrete pumps, highway and airport paving equipment. Additionally, machines that demand a high degree of customization benefit from the use of an IK4 on the field.
The IK4 includes the option of installing 6 auxiliary functions and 3 MO75 joysticks, 4 Hall or Euchner joysticks or 8 MA70 paddles.
4.3" display option available for systems working in 2.4 GHz frequency band
The panel of the IK3 and IK4 transmitters has a maximum number of 12 LEDs and can incorporate two side lanterns. The face plate design and the number and disposition of the LEDs is 100% customizable, according to the customer’s requirements.
Removable memory card. Quick and easy restoration of service with a spare unit in the event of transmitter or receiver failure. If the transmitter is damaged, the replacement can copy the EEPROM from the receiver.
The remote can only be used when there is an infrared connection between the infrared transmitter and the radio transmitter. This rules out risk situations caused by activating the remote without a clear and safe view of the machine.
The most compact TANDEM solution. A system conformed by a master transmitter (Push button or Console box) which controls using radio signals simultaneously. In a synchronized way the movements of two cranes working in tandem mode.
This technology modifies the power of the radio transmission in order to minimize battery consumption. As well as, interference between nearby pieces of equipment, so that longer battery life can be provided. Furthermore, that continuity of operations between devices in the same working environment can be achieved, respectively.
Worldwide compatible multi-band radio. Possibility of full-duplex communication. Easily customizable via EEPROM.
2.4 GHz universal frequency band availability.
The Link Quality Indicator is a metric that indicates signal quality between the transmitter and the receiver. Three possible quality levels of the link are displayed by means of an icon: low, medium or high. In addition, the icon flashes to warn the user about possible interference. This functionality is available for the whole range of I-KONTROL transmitters (IK2, IK3 and IK4).
Used to detect an unusual, high transmitter angle. It allows several intervention modes:
Possibility of working with multiple transmitters and a single receiver. The first device to link up assumes control of the machine.
On transmitter start-up, the radio remote equipment will automatically look for a free channel. If another user activates a radio remote device on the same working channel, the transmitter can simply be switched off and on again. Helping to find another free channel and allow work to continue.
For situations requiring the use of two or more independent cranes moving simultaneously. The master transmitters can choose whether to work simultaneously with several receivers or independently with one of them.
Possibility of working with a single transmitter and multiple receivers at the same time.
Tether connection between the transmitter and receiver as an alternative to radio connection. If radio control is not permitted or there are no charged batteries, the radio remote can be used with a wired connection between the transmitter and receiver. If a wired connection is used, the transmitter is powered by the receiver.

IK2 is the compact console box from the Ikontrol range and it is specially used in applications that demand up to 4 proportional outputs and 6 auxiliary mechanisms.
IK3 is Danfoss' most versatile console box from the Ikontrol transmitter range used in industrial machines and mobile hydraulics, like concrete pumps.
Farmers need agricultural machines that deliver the same high productivity every season. Hydraulic solutions from Danfoss ensure world-class performance from each machine, and a comfortable, stress-free working environment for their operators.
Space is limited on construction sites, and there are people working everywhere. Contractors need machines that can safely maneuver in a tight spot. At the same time they still need to be powerful enough to get the job done. At Danfoss, we deliver the components, software, and controls that enable your machines to run safely, efficiently and effectively.
Rough, sloping terrain and cramped working conditions call for robust and reliable forestry machines. We make sure you can manage everything from cutting trees and transport to preparing the forest floor for replanting. We have the smart hydraulic solutions your machines need for precise and efficient forestry operations.
Upstream Offshore Oil and Gas activities are making up nearly 30% of global crude oil production. These are some of the harshest operating environments on the planet. Drilling in waters up to 3,000 meters deep requires equipment that is reliable and safe. this can help to maximize operating productivity and prevent unexpected downtime.
Onshore Oil and Gas activities are making up the majority of the world’s total oil production. These require a great deal of flexibility and scalability. A variety of oil reserve types onshore equipment needs to be flexible and robust. Due to a typically much greater number of oil wells per reserve than offshore.
Our engineers are constantly working to help deliver precise and reliable mobile hydraulic control to advanced machines like yours. From propulsion and steering, to work function and power management, Danfoss is committed to helping you improve machine performance and decrease your time to market.
The growing world population and migration trends towards cities create an ongoing need for better infrastructure, manufacturing, and heavy industry. These industries need to build efficiently and reliably with the lowest capital expenditure and operating costs possible, despite facing volatile demand cycles. Danfoss solutions in instrumentation, control, and energy efficiency have served for decades to improve manufacturing sites and processing facilities throughout the world, significantly contributing to new technologies and cost savings.
