Autec Dynamic series industrial
radio remote controls are used to
control machines from a distance, without physical connections (i.e. wires or connecting
cables) between the user and the
machine.
Each of these industrial radio remote controls consists of a portable transmitting unit, from which
the user can remotely control the
machine, and a receiving unit installed on board the machine itself.

1.2 Applications
In compliance with the risk assessment (see chapter 2), this radio remote control
can be installed on hoisting and material handling machines and on machines for
moving, raising and transporting people (i.e. hydraulic cranes, aerial work platforms, telehandlers, concrete pumps).
This radio remote control cannot be installed:
- on machines installed in places where equipment with explosion-proof
characteristics is required
- on machines where the receiving unit power supply does not come from
a battery or from a power supply unit with safety isolating transformer
- to control loads that are not isolated from AC power supply (if that is the
case)
- on machines that may generate dangerous situations if they stop due to
the loss of radio link
- on machines for which a risk assessment (see chapter 2) is not possible
or gave negative results.
Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is installed on forbidden applications.
1.3 Radio link
The two units constantly communicate with one another through a radio link. This
is an essential requirement to ensure safety for the radio remote controlled machine.
Messages from the units are coded through an address stored in the S-KEY (see
paragraph 6.2). This address is unique (Autec produces it only once), univocal
(specific for each radio remote control) and not reproducible. Each unit can only
decode the messages coming from the unit with the same address. This prevents
messages from other radio equipment from activating any system function.
The units send coded messages to one another:
- messages sent by the transmitting unit contain operational commands to be
carried out by the machine
- messages sent by the receiving unit contain information useful for the automatic management of the working frequency and information about measurements collected from the machine (Data Feedback function).

Dynamic Series description
1.4 Classification of commands
Commands sent by the transmitting unit are classified according to their type.
1.4.1 Command type: analogue, digital or direction command
Commands sent by the transmitting unit can either be analogue or digital.
Analogue commands generate proportional outputs as a function of the position
of the corresponding actuator.
Digital commands switch the status of their corresponding output, according to
the position of the related actuator. This status can either be on or off.
Direction commands are digital commands paired with analogue commands, and
are used to specify the movement direction.
1.4.2 Name of commands
All commands sent by the transmitting unit are identified by abbreviations, which
are also written in the technical data sheet to highlight the match between commands sent and machine functions.
The names of outputs in the receiving unit are not the names of commands.
Check the technical data sheet to know which name they were given.
1.5 Safety functions
Autec radio remote controls are equipped with some functions that provide high
safety levels, in order to safeguard the safety of people and property.
A - 3
1.5.1 Stop function
The stop function brings the machine to a safe state every time it is necessary to
stop it due to a potentially hazardous situation. This function is either voluntarily
enabled by the user (active stop), as appropriate, or it cuts in automatically and
autonomously (passive stop).
Active stop
Active stop is a function enabled by the STOP pushbutton (see paragraph 6.4).
The transmitting unit sends to the receiving unit a command that immediately
stops the machine. When the STOP pushbutton is pressed, the machine stops in
shorter time than when passive stop cuts in.
Passive stop
Passive stop is a function that cuts in when a fault occurs during operation. When
the radio link is incorrect or interrupted, the receiving unit autonomously stops the
radio remote control. The cut-in time of this function (passive stop cut-in time) is
set by the machine manufacturer (see technical data sheet).

1.5.2 Protection against unintended movements from the standstill posi-
This safety function protects the system “machine+radio remote control” from unintended movements, namely machine movements not activated intentionally by
the user, but resulting from possible electrical and mechanical failure of the radio
remote control.
Such safety function checks the neutral (rest) position of the actuators that control
the machine's movements. Each time one of those actuators is operated, the
transmitting unit sends both the movement command and the “SAFETY” command. Depending on the specific application, outputs related to these commands
are wired in series; alternatively the SAFETY command's outputs drive the safety
device provided on the machine.
1.6 Identifying the radio remote control
The serial number (S/N) is the only reference to be used to uniquely identify the
radio remote control, both if maintenance is needed and when providing statements to competent bodies.
The serial number (S/N) and other information regarding the radio remote control
are provided in some plates both on the transmitting and on the receiving unit.
These plates must not be:
- removed from their position (removal will invalidate the guarantee)
- altered or damaged (contact Autec for replacement).

Risk assessment
2 Risk assessment
As required standards ISO 12100 and ISO 14212, all machines must undergo
risk assessment. It is therefore necessary to evaluate, within the limits of this assessment, if the machine can be radio remote controlled.
The radio remote control can only be used if this assessment gives positive results.
2.1 Risk assessment for radio remote controlled machines
All warnings listed in this manual must also be taken into account during risk assessment and when setting out protection measures for the controlled machine.
When carrying out risk assessment for the machine or for the system where the
radio remote control is installed, the following must be considered:
- some machines cannot be radio remote controlled by Dynamic series radio remote controls (see paragraph 1.1)
- the radio link between the two units may be interrupted due to persistent disturbance or interference.
Whenever the radio link is interrupted (i.e. due to active stop, passive stop, low
battery, automatic switch off, receiving unit not powered):
- all outputs in the receiving unit are disabled (if this generates a hazardous situation, it is necessary that the corresponding commands on the machine are
kept active)
- it is not possible to enable or disable the machine commands until the radio
remote control is started up again.
A - 5
Due to the characteristics of radio propagation (i.e.: EM interference, near out-ofrange condition), a delay up to the "Passive stop time" (see paragraph 1.1) may
occasionally occur from the moment a command in the transmitting unit is released to the moment its corresponding output in the receiving unit is deactivated.
Those who decide upon the installation of the radio remote control must make
sure that this delay never leads to a dangerous situation in the specific uses.
The transmitting unit housing is manufactured so that it protects the actuators
from unintentional activation, while meeting at the same time the operating
needs, the comfort requirements and law limits.
Assessment shall be made to establish possible additional protection measures
for the actuators (i.e. commands requiring two-hand operation, “dead-man” function) if particular environments, equipment and working modes could cause accidental bumps to the actuators.

Risk assessment
The machine manufacturer and/or the person who decides upon radio remote
control use and installation is responsible for this risk assessment.
Autec cannot be held responsible if this assessment is not carried out correctly.
If required by the risk assessment, draw up protection measures to prevent, reduce and report potential hazard situations.
2.2 Working conditions
To guarantee correct radio remote control operation, all current regulations regarding safety at work and accident prevention should be respected. All applicable standards and regulations valid in the user country regarding the use of both
the machine and the radio remote control must always be respected.
Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is used in unlawful
working conditions.
