The Wacker Neuson Infrared Sensor is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 7060RC reversible vibratory plate compactor. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this sensor meets the exact specifications required for proper remote-control operation on the DPU 7060RC platform. Confirm your model number before ordering to ensure a direct-fit installation with no guesswork.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Signal Accuracy — Built to Wacker Neuson's original infrared signal specifications, ensuring the sensor reads and transmits correctly within the remote-control communication system.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to mount and connect exactly as the original, dropping into the existing sensor position on the DPU 7060RC without adapters or modification.
- Confirmed Fitment — Verified for the DPU 7060RC (70 kN) remote-controlled reversible vibratory plate compactor.
- Restored Remote-Control Function — A failed infrared sensor disables the wireless control link between the operator remote and the machine; replacing it restores full remote operation and keeps the compactor responsive at a safe operating distance.
- Electrical Safety Compliance — As a control-system component, using the correct OEM sensor ensures the remote-control circuit operates within its designed parameters, reducing the risk of unintended machine behavior in the field.
The infrared sensor on the DPU 7060RC is a core element of its remote-control communication system, receiving signals from the handheld transmitter and relaying commands to the machine's direction and speed controls. When the sensor degrades or fails, the remote link becomes intermittent or stops responding entirely, forcing operators to work in closer proximity to the machine — a significant safety concern on a high-force reversible plate. Replacing a faulty sensor restores the full wireless operating range and keeps the operator at a safe distance during compaction passes.
