Remote Control & Software Control

1. Infrared Remote Control

Before using the infrared remote control, please make sure the MTxRUL Intelligent Programmable Turntable is powered on and in standby state. Aim the remote control at the infrared receiver area on the turntable base, and ensure there are no obstacles between the remote and the receiver.

1.1.Basic Control Functions: Press the Start/Stop button to start or pause rotation directly. Press Speed+ to increase rotation speed and Speed– to decrease speed. Press Clockwise to set clockwise rotation, and Counterclockwise to set counterclockwise rotation. These basic keys support real‑time response during operation.

1.2 Angle Setting & Single‑Step Rotation: You can use direct angle keys such as 45°, 90°, 180°, 360° for fixed‑angle rotation. After pressing any angle key, the turntable rotates to the set angle and stops automatically. This function is very suitable for product display, fixed angle shooting, and 3D scanning positioning.

1.3 360° Continuous Rotation Mode: Press the 360° Continuous Rotation button to enter full‑circle continuous rotation mode. The turntable will keep rotating clockwise or counterclockwise until you press Start/Stop to pause. This mode is widely used in store display, exhibition stand, and long‑term product show.

1.4 Pendulum Swing Mode: First set a swing angle (such as 45° or 90°), then press Pendulum Mode. The turntable will rotate forward to the set angle, pause for a few seconds, then rotate back to the origin, and repeat the swing cycle. This mode is ideal for local display of key products.

1.5 Step‑By‑Step Rotation Mode:Press the equal division number keys (such as 2/4/18/24/48), the turntable will divide 360° into equal steps. After each step rotation, it pauses automatically for shooting or scanning. This is the core mode for 3D scanner turntable and product photography turntable.

1.6 Origin Setting & Return to Origin: Press Set Origin to mark the current position as the zero position. Press Return to Origin at any time, and the turntable will automatically rotate back to the preset origin position. This function helps keep consistent positioning for multiple batches of shooting and scanning.

1.7 Parameter Save Function: After adjusting speed, direction, rotation mode and angle, press the Save button. The turntable will store current parameters. Next time you power on, it will run with the saved settings automatically, which improves efficiency for repeated use.

1.8 Remote Control Lock Function: Press the Lock key to lock all remote operations to avoid mis‑touch. Press Lock again to unlock. This function is very practical in exhibitions, stores and public display environments.

1.9 Remote Control Troubleshooting: If the remote control is ineffective, check whether the remote control is aligned with the receiver, whether there is obstacle interference, and whether the lock function is enabled. You can also restart the turntable and try again. Stable use can be restored through simple inspection.

2. Software & SDK Control

• 1. Confirm driver installation and correct COM port identification.
• 2. Open the official control software or self-developed application.
• 3. Select the corresponding COM port and establish a connection.
• 4. Set rotation parameters: speed, angle, direction, cycle times, delay.
• 5. Send control commands: start, pause, stop, reset, go to target angle.
• 6. Use step-by-step rotation for 3D scanning and product photography.
• 7. The system returns real-time rotation status and angle data.
• 8. Save and load parameter presets for batch shooting tasks.
• 9. Support long-time unattended operation for USB programmable turntable.
• 10. Use SDK commands to integrate the turntable into automated workflow systems.

Important Notes & Safety Precautions

1. Load Requirements

• Do not place items exceeding the rated load capacity on the motorized rotating platform.
• Keep the load centered to avoid eccentricity, noise or wear.
• Do not place unstable, slippery or easily toppled items on the turntable.

2. Use Environment

• Use in a dry, ventilated, indoor environment; keep away from water, moisture and high temperature.
• Do not use in dusty or corrosive gas environments to protect the motor and circuit.
• Keep the turntable away from strong magnetic interference to ensure stable control.

3. Power & Cable Safety

• Use only the original power adapter to avoid damage to the circuit.
• Do not pull, twist or press the power cable and USB cable forcibly.
• Unplug the power when not in use for a long time.

4. Operation Safety

• Keep hands, hair and foreign objects away from the gap between the rotating platform and base during operation.
• Do not move the turntable while it is rotating to avoid damage or injury.
• Do not disassemble the turntable without permission; unauthorized disassembly will void the warranty.

5. Maintenance

• Clean the surface with a soft dry cloth; do not use corrosive cleaners.
• Do not lubricate the interior by yourself; contact official support for maintenance.
• Regularly check cables and interfaces for wear or looseness.

6. SDK & Software Control Notes

• Do not send conflicting commands frequently in a short time to avoid system abnormality.
• Exit the software and disconnect the USB safely before unplugging the cable.
• Back up important parameters before secondary development and testing.
