Dynamic series radio remote controls working within the frequency band 915 -
928 MHz are allowed to be used in the North American market.
Each of these radio remote controls complies with the following requirements:
- FCC (Federal Communication Commission) Part 15
IC (Industry Canada) RSS-102
Unit FCC ID IC number
FJS OQA-FJSNF022 9061A-FJSNF022

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.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Applications

3.2 Applications

In compliance with the risk analysis (see chapter 4), 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 analysis (see chapter 4) is not possible or gave negative results.
Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is installed on forbid­den applications.

3.3 Radio link

7
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.
An address is stored in the S-KEY (see paragraph 12.2) and in the address key on the IDK connector in the receiving unit (see paragraph 8.1); the units use this address to code their messages. 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).

Frequencies

3.4 Frequencies

The radio link between the units of Autec Dynamic series radio remote controls is built at one of the frequencies permitted by the European standards in force when the system is put on the market. Dynamic series industrial radio remote controls communicate either in dynamic or static mode. Mode is set by the machine manufacturer.
3.4.1 Dynamic mode
A radio remote control communicating in dynamic mode:
- uses a working frequency in the band 863 - 870 MHz
- checks that the frequency is free before using it
- continually changes the working frequency to maintain the radio link even when interference occurs.
3.4.2 Static mode
A radio remote control communicating in static mode:
- uses a working frequency in the band 869.7 - 870 MHz
- checks that the frequency is free before using it
- always works at the same frequency until the stop function is activated (see paragraph 3.6.1).

3.5 Classification of commands

Commands sent by the transmitting unit are classified according to their type.
3.5.1 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.
3.5.2 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.

Safety functions

3.6 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.
3.6.1 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 12.4). 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).
3.6.2 Protection against unintended movements from the standstill position
(UMFS)
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.

Identifying the radio remote control

3.8 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 analysis for radio remote controlled machines
Risk analysis

4 Risk analysis

As required by the standards, all machines must undergo a risk analysis. It is therefore necessary to evaluate, within the limits of this analysis, if the machine can be radio remote controlled. The radio remote control can only be used if this analysis gives positive results.

4.1 Risk analysis for radio remote controlled machines

All warnings listed in this manual must also be taken into account during risk anal­ysis and when setting out protection measures for the controlled machine. When carrying out risk analysis 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 3.2)
- 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 are kept active)
- it is not possible to enable or disable the machine commands until the radio remote control is started up again.
13
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 3.7) 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.
The machine manufacturer and/or the person who decides upon radio remote control use and installation is responsible for this risk analysis. Autec cannot be held responsible if this analysis is not carried out correctly.

Working conditions
If required by the risk analysis, draw up protection measures to prevent, reduce and report potential hazard situations.

4.2 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.

Before starting to work

9 Warnings

In addition to all instructions provided by the machine manufacturer, by the install­er of the radio remote control and by the person responsible for the safety of the work area, users shall always respect the following warnings.

9.1 Before starting to work

The transmitting unit shall be used in a simple and comfortable way, avoid­ing accidental falls. The harness provided with the radio remote control serves as such.
Stand in a position that allows the direct supervision of the remote control­led machine and its load, and stay in a place ensuring safety conditions in respect of other operations and/or activities and/or processes that are car­ried out in the working environment. Never start up or use the transmitting unit if the working conditions present the risk of losing balance or tripping.
Always check that the mechanical operation of the STOP pushbutton is cor­rect. If it is impossible or difficult to press this pushbutton, do not use the radio remote control.
Only start up the transmitting unit when starting work: improper use may cause hazardous situations.
Never start up or use the transmitting unit in closed spaces, with the ma­chine not in sight, or outside the radio remote control typical working range: in such cases it is in fact still possible to build a radio link, thus causing the risk that unwanted commands be carried out by the machine.

9.2 During normal operation

Visually and directly follow all movements of the machine and its load and remain inside the radio remote control working range.
Pay particular attention to warnings and visual and acoustic signals, and take all measurements and steps to avoid that movements of the remote controlled machine may lead to hazardous situations for people and/or property.
Pay attention to the entire work area. Immediately press the STOP pushbut­ton when a hazardous situation occurs.

AUTEC - Dynamic Series
User manual
Working
START pushbutton
As the radio remote control address is stored in the S-KEY, use it with ut­most care to reduce risks that may result from incorrect handling.
If the main transmitting unit cannot be used because it has been lost or damaged, the back-up transmitting unit can be used instead. In this case, insert the S-KEY in the back-up unit. The back-up unit is identical to the main unit; the only difference is the presence of the plate “BACK-UP UNIT” on the battery housing.

12.3 START pushbutton

The START pushbutton is used to:
- start up the radio remote control (see paragraphs 11.1,
11.4 and 11.5)
- activate the horn when the radio remote control is start­ed.

12.4 STOP

The STOP pushbutton should be pressed when it is necessary to stop the machine immediately when a dangerous condition should occur.
When the STOP pushbutton is pressed, the machine stops (active stop: see paragraph 3.6.1), and the transmitting unit switches off. To start working again after the STOP pushbutton has been pressed:

12.5 Command meaning

Commands on the transmitting unit are established according to the machine's operations and functions. They are established by the machine manufacturer, who also chooses the symbols used. Some of the commands available on the transmitting unit may be those provided below; in this case, symbols used are generally those given here:
RPM+/- (during normal operation)
This switch increases (rpm +) or decreases (rpm -) the engine revolutions of the remote controlled machine.
TEACH (during REMOTE SETUP)
This switch is used to calibrate minimum and maximum values of proportional outputs (see chapter 13).
MOVEMENT SPEED SELECTOR
This switch is used to modify the movement speed. According to the configuration:
- it sets two or three speed levels
- it increases and/or decreases speed. These three symbols are used:
Symbol Meaning
This symbol indicates the typical machine's speed.
This symbol indicates a reduction in the machine's speed (the reduction is set by the manufacturer).
This symbol, if present, indicates a further reduction in the machine's speed (the reduction is set by the manu­facturer).
AUTEC - Dynamic Series
User manual
ENGINE
This switch is used to switch on and off the engine of the remote controlled machine.
Symbol Meaning
This symbol indicates that the engine is powered on.
This symbol indicates that the engine is switched off.
DISPLAY pushbutton (if the transmitting unit has a display)
This pushbutton is used to:
- activate the display lighting, if it is off
- cyclically scroll the information on the display in two different modes:
- manual: the lines scroll up each time the pushbutton is
pressed
- automatic: when the DISPLAY pushbutton is pressed for
3 seconds, the lines scroll automatically. If the DISPLAY pushbutton is pressed another time, it switches back to
manual mode. It is not possible to scroll the lines if only icons are displayed. The display lighting stays on for a time set by the machine man­ufacturer.

Wire control

12.7 Wire control

The wire control is used:
- in particular working conditions, established by the machine manufacturer
- when it is not possible to build a radio link between the radio remote control units
- when working in environments where using radio frequencies is not allowed or is dangerous
- when a fully charged battery is not available.
When using the wire control, it is not possible to eliminate the electric shock hazard when working near in-ground or overhead high voltage elec­trical cables.
12.7.1 Description
The wire control connects the transmitting unit to the receiving unit through a ca­ble that replaces the radio link. The cable must be plugged in its connector on the transmitting unit and on the receiving unit.

Wire control
When using the wire control, the working features do not change (i.e. the mean­ing of actuators and the Data Feedback function).
12.7.2 Working
Before starting to work, make sure that the cable and the corresponding connec­tors are intact.
The wire control can only be connected and disconnected when the transmitting unit is switched off.
After connecting or disconnecting the wire control, start up the radio remote con­trol (see paragraph 11.1) to control the machine.
During operation with wire control:
- radio link is off
- leave the battery inside the transmitting unit, even though the power supply comes from the receiving unit. The battery is not, in any case, recharged through the wire control: it can only be recharged through its appropriate battery charger provided together with the system.
When you finish working with the cable control, disconnect the cable from the transmitting unit and from the machine, and protect the connectors on the units with their caps.

If inputs of the module FSAAMI01A are used in the receiving unit to select differ­ent speeds, calibration must be performed while these inputs are active.

13.2 Restoring factory settings

This procedure is used to restore factory settings for the proportional outputs.
1. Ensure that the transmitting unit is switched off.
2. Power on the receiving unit.
3. Press the TEACH pushbutton and do not release it until the SETUP LED illu­minates.
4. Press the TEACH pushbutton three times and do not release it at last pres­sure; the SETUP LED blinks fast: this indicates that factory settings are being restored.
5. Release the TEACH pushbutton when the SETUP LED is steadily illuminated again. If the TEACH pushbutton is released before the SETUP LED is steadily illumi­nated, factory settings of proportional outputs will not be restored.
6. To leave the procedure, press the TEACH pushbutton on the receiving unit and do not release it until the SETUP LED switches off.

Restoring factory settings

14 Data memory backup

The receiving unit has two data memories: one is in the DTK connector on the mother board and one is attached inside the cover (backup data memory). When data of proportional outputs are modified, they are saved in the data mem­ory present in the DTK connector.
The data memory in the DTK connector can be copied into a backup data mem­ory. This is useful in case you need to restore the information contained. In this case, use the data memory attached inside the cover.
If one of the data memories is lost or damaged, ask the machine manufacturer for a new one.
IDK connector BKK connector DTK connector
Please note that information contained in the data memory in the DTK connector overwrites the data memory of the BKK connector during the backup procedure.
Perform the following steps to copy the information of the data memory.
1. Make sure that the transmitting unit and the receiving unit are not powered.
2. Open the receiving unit
3. Make sure that a data memory is plugged in the DTK connector
4. Insert the memory attached inside the receiving unit cover in the BKK connector
5. Close the receiving unit
6. Power on the receiving unit: the SETUP LED blinks slowly
7. Press the TEACH pushbutton: the SETUP LED blinks fast (indicating that data are being copied); release the button when the LED starts blinking slowly again. If the TEACH pushbutton is released before the SETUP LED starts blinking slowly again, data contained in the data memory will not be copied.
8. Disconnect power from the receiving unit.
9. Open the receiving unit, remove the data memory from the BKK connector and attach it inside the cover.
10.Close the receiving unit.

Radio remote controls with Data Feedback function
Troubleshooting

15 Troubleshooting

When the radio remote control does not work:
- bring the transmitting unit close to the receiving unit to avoid radio interference and disturbances
- establish whether the problem lies with the radio remote control or with the ma­chine. Therefore, before any inspection, try to control the machine from a control unit different from the radio remote control, if present. If the problem persists, it lies with the machine. If not, the problem may lie with the radio remote control. In such case, please refer to paragraph 15.3.

15.1 Radio remote controls with Data Feedback function

It is still possible that the transmitting unit sends commands to control the ma­chine even though the Data Feedback function does not work properly, or if there is no information and/or signals coming from it. To check that the radio remote control works properly, please refer to paragraph 15.3.
When the display or the LED array does not work, please contact the support service of the machine manufacturer, even if no one of the problems indicated in paragraph 15.3 has been detected.

15.2 Radio remote controls with wire control

Please refer to paragraph 15.3 to check that the radio remote control works prop­erly. Possibly use the wire control to check if radio interference occurs. On the contrary, if you want to check that the wire control works properly:
- connect the cable to the transmitting unit and to the machine
- check that the manoeuvres carried out by the machine correspond to the com­mands sent by the transmitting unit.
