CONFORMITY
The C26 PRO series PRO-M radio remote control is in conformity with FCC
Rules (Part 90 for the transmitting unit and Part 15 for the receiving unit).
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.
In Technical Data (see chapter 15) there are the characteristics of safety functions
according with EN 954-1.
All machines must undergo a risk analysis; therefore it is necessary to evaluate, within the limits of this analysis, if the machine can be radio remote controlled.
The machine producer and/or the person who decides upon radio remote control use
and installation is responsible for this analysis.
Autec, or its distributors, cannot be held responsible if the risk analysis is not
carried out correctly and if the radio remote control is installed on applications that are different from those permitted:
PERMITTED APPLICATIONS:
Hoisting and moving machines installed exclusively on vehicles that
use a battery as electrical power supply source (for example: hydraulic cranes, concrete pumps…)
FORBIDDEN APPLICATIONS
- machines installed in areas where equipment with explosionproof characteristics are being used
- AC supplied machines
- machines using a DC supply that does not come from a battery
- machines where risk analysis regarding verification of radio remote control conformity to the application is not possible or has
given a negative or uncertain result.
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.
System must be installed by a licensed technician and in accordance with all
relevant local, state/provincial and federal regulations, including but not
limited to NEC, OSHA, CE etc.

RADIO REMOTE CONTROL DESCRIPTION
Industrial radio remote controls are used to
command machines from a distance. Each industrial radio remote control is made up of a
portable transmitting unit, from which the
user can remotely control the machine, and a
receiving unit installed on board the machine
itself. The transmitting unit sends a coded
message over radio frequency transmission.
This message contains a value called “address”, which lets the receiving unit decode
only the messages coming from its own
transmitting unit (the one that has the same
address).
This ensures that no interference can activate
any command. If the radio frequency transmission is disturbed, incorrect or interrupted,
the receiving unit autonomously stops the
whole system.

WARNINGS REGARDING INSTALLATION
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONNEL AND DAMAGE
TO EQUIPMENT.
Installation must only be carried out by qualified people and in accordance with the standards and regulations in the country in which
the system is to be installed. Only a correct installation can ensure
the necessary level of safety during subsequent radio remote control use.
General
indications
Respect the machine operational characteristics when connecting the Radio remote
control. The safety circuits on the radio remote control and/or present on the
machine should not be bypassed (or excluded).
The receiving unit wiring can be configured very easily, therefore it can be installed
without having to modify the machine. Do not modify the machine electric panel without the machine manufacturer authorization.
Disconnect the receiving unit by detaching all the electrical connections each time some welding operation is performed on the machine.
Installation
The receiving unit must be placed in a position that favours reception of the
signals issued by the transmitting unit.
It should therefore be assembled vertically (antenna upwards). The receiving unit
should also be easily accessible to permit operation under safe conditions.
If the receiving unit is covered by metal structures or installed inside metal panels,
use the appropriate extension kit for external antennas.
The antenna must never come into contact with metal parts.
It is forbidden to pierce the receiving unit casing. Doing so compromises the
protection degree against external agents (level IP65).
The vehicle creates vibrations, therefore antivibration blocks must always be used to
reduce the effect that these vibrations have on the receiving unit.
The receiving unit must be positioned away from heat sources (exhaust pipes, alternators, radiators etc.)
Wiring
Most machines are connected to the receiving unit by multiple-pole plugs which permit quick disconnection of the radio remote control for replacement with a hard wired
Receiving
unit
Transmitting
unit

LIPROMA3-00
- 5 Warnings regarding use -
(cabled) control. This connecting technique is advisable even if the machine is not
originally equipped for it.
The reliability of the installation is largely dependent on the quality of the wiring, and
connections should therefore be made to the highest standards using multi-core or
single-core cables of suitable cross-sectional area for the current to be carried.
Cables
should also be flame retardant
(for further information refer to IEC 60204 - 1).
Oil resistant cables should be used for connections external to the receiving unit.
The receiving unit power supply must pass through an isolation
switch to permit power disconnection during installation, wiring
and/or maintenance operations.
To improve radio remote control operation, connect the receiving
unit immediately downstream of the machine main switch.
It is always advisable to check the supply voltage even under maximum load; in this
way the maximum variations can be verified (the limit values of tolerated deviation
are given both in the Technical Data and on the technical data sheet of the Radio remote control).
Receiving unit supply voltage fluctuations that exceed the limit values can compromise regular radio remote control operation.
The C26-PRO series radio remote controls are equipped with circuits to protect
against unintended movements from standstill of the actuators if the wiring indications indicated in the technical data sheet are respected.
Proportional
output
setting
Autec supplies the radio remote control with the proportional output values
already set depending on the valve type(s). During installation, these values
must be verified and, if necessary, modified according to machine function
and operator preference (see chapter 12).
Testing
When installation and wiring have been completed, always do the following:
- make sure that when the radio remote control STOP pushbutton is pressed
the machine goes into a situation of safety (through direct action on the
general solenoid valve of the main circuit), the motor possibly switches
off and, if present, the main line contactor opens to remove voltage.
- make sure that the manoeuvres carried out by the machine and which
have been commanded by the transmitting unit correspond exactly
(this correspondence is given in the technical data sheet)
-check safety circuit operation (a simple way of doing this is to remove
fuse F3, housed on the main board of the Receiving Unit. Make sure that
in these conditions no movement command can be carried out, then insert
the F3 fuse again and check correct operation)
The installer must also compile and/or verify the two copies of the technical
data sheet, where the wiring layout between the receiving unit and the machine is given. The first copy of the technical data sheet is inside the receiving unit, the second is annexed to the user's manual. The installer must put
the date of installation, sign and stamp both copies.

WARNINGS REGARDING USE
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONNEL AND DAMAGE
TO EQUIPMENT.
The radio remote control can only be used by operators who:
- have read and understood this manual,
- are qualified and trained,
- know the “radio remote control + machine” system well.
The radio remote control can only be used by operators who:
- have read and understood this manual,
- 4 -
LIPROMA3-00
- 6 Warnings regarding routine maintenance -
- are qualified and trained,
- know the “radio remote control + machine” system well.
Autec, or its distributors, cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is installed on applications other than those permitted
and if used in irregular working conditions.
Each time the transmitting unit is powered, make sure that the
STOP pushbutton operates correctly and that, when pressed, machine movement is interrupted instantly.
If this does not occur, do not use the radio remote control.
The operator should always ensure that both units are complete and
that the gaskets, bellows and hoods of the actuators (joysticks, selectors, pushbutton) are whole. If not, the radio remote control
must not be used before being repaired.
To work efficiently and to prevent possible emergency situations, it
is necessary to select a position from where it is possible to:
- remain inside the typical working range of the radio remote control (see chapter 15)
- visually follow the machine, its movements and its load at all
times.
During
operation The operator must:
- switch off the transmitting unit each time work is stopped
- NEVER leave the transmitting unit unattended with the starting
keyswitch inserted
- avoid working if the battery is almost flat.
The operator should never switch on or activate the transmitting
unit unless ready to start working. A radio link can be created even
outside the active range and from enclosed places, creating the possibility for the radio remote controlled machine to carry out undesired commands.
In case of
danger If a dangerous situation arises, the operator must intervene imme-
diately by pressing the STOP pushbutton, which instantly interrupts
machine movement.
As not all hazards are caused by the “radio remote control + machine” system, the operator should be careful even when emergency situations are present in the work area. The operator should, also
in this case, intervene manually by activating the STOP command.
In case of
fault In case of faults or damaged parts, A L WAYS STOP the “radio remote
control + machine” system until the problem has been resolved.
Any damaged part can ONLY be replaced by authorized Autec personnel and only using original Autec spare parts.

TRANSMITTING UNIT AND HOW IT WORKS
Power on and
start up Check that the starting keyswitch is in position “O”, gently insert the bat-
tery in its housing. Check that the STOP pushbutton has not been pressed
and that none of the actuators are out of their respective neutral positions.
Turn the starting keyswitch to “I”, activate the START pushbutton and release it when the green light starts to flash.
The transmitting unit only switches on if the battery has sufficient
charge and if all the actuators are inactive.
Commands
It is possible to control the radio remote machine only after the transmitting unit has
been radio linked to the receiving unit (signalled by the lighting up of the ENABLE pilot
light on the receiving unit (see chapter 10)).
After the radio link is established, machine movements are available by acting on the
proper actuators.
All commands protected by the SAFETY function are approved to category 3 of EN 954
- 1 against the undesired movements when in the standstill position (UMFS - Unin-
tended Movement From Standstill).
Some transmitting unit commands are given below:
Horn
With the transmitting unit switched on, press the START pushbutton: the machine
horn/alarm activates.
STOP
To immediately stop the machine, press the STOP pushbutton: the transmitting unit
switches off automatically.
To start working again, rotate the STOP pushbutton in the direction indicated and repeat the power on and start up procedures.
The STOP pushbutton must be used each time the machine has to be
stopped immediately due to a dangerous situation.
The STOP circuit is approved in category 4 according to the EN 954 -1.

RPM +/- This selector works in two ways:
1. during normal operation: increases (rpm +) or decreases (rpm -) the
machine motor turns
2. during the set-up phase REMOTE SET UP: see chapter 12
Speed
selector A speed selector may be present, which makes the machine operate at different
speeds as necessary. This selector can have two, three or four positions which respectively activate two, three or four speed levels.
Frequency
change In case of interference or conflict with other radio systems, it is possible to change
the radio frequency being used.
With the transmitting unit powered and started, keep the START pushbutton pressed
for 5-6 seconds: a prolonged beep accompanied by the switching on of both signalling
lLEDs indicate that the frequency has changed. During this operation the receiving
unit switches off: press the START pushbutton again to start working normally.
LED
signals
Some transmitting unit operating conditions are signalled by two signalling LEDs (one
green and one red):
When the battery is approximately 90% discharged, the green light will start flashing
at a faster rate to inform the operator that the battery requires recharging. If the operator continues to use the radio control, approximately 3 minutes before the battery
is fully discharged, the red light will start flashing and an acoustic alarm will sound.
In this situation, the operator must return the machine to a condition of safety (by
pressing the stop pushbutton), switch off the transmitting unit, and recharge the battery or fit a fully charged battery.
Power off
Turn the ignition key to “O”.
Always remember to remove the starting keyswitch and put it in a safe place.
Automatic
power off The transmitting unit can switch off automatically when:
- the battery is not sufficiently charged and/or
- the radio remote control has not been used for 3 and a half minutes (to deactivate automatic switching off, please contact Autec authorized personnel).
Recharging
the battery Remove the battery from the transmitting unit and insert in the battery charger.
The “ON CHARGING” light will illuminate to indicate that the battery is being charged.
Once the battery is fully charged, the “END OF CHARGE” light will illuminate. Battery
charging should be performed at an ambient temperature within the range +5°C to
+45°C.

PROPORTIONAL OUTPUT SETTING PROCEDURE (REMOTE
SET UP)
Calibration of the proportional outputs must only be set by qualified
and trained personnel who understand and respect all the warnings
given in chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7.
The proportional outputs of RI97-08PVZA module are programmed at the values given on the relevant technical data sheet.
Never leave the DIP 1 in ON when the radio remote control is working: this position is compulsory during the calibration phase and,
when inserted, only one proportional command can be activated at
a time.
Preparation
for calibration1. Make sure that the transmitting unit is switched off.
2. Remove power from the receiving unit.
3. Open the receiving unit and position the DIP 1 in ON.
4. Power the receiving unit.
5. Switch on and start up the transmitting unit.
6. Turn the starting keyswitch to the “ ” (REMOTE SET UP) position.
Calibration
7. Select one or more positions of the rotary switch S on the RI97-08PVZA module
to calibrate the related parameters.
8. Operate the RPM+/- selector on the transmitting unit (where the + increases the
speed that is being calibrated and - decreases it).
Moving the joystick outside of the standstill position during the calibration, a horn/alarm sounds for 0.5 seconds signalling that the
minimum calibration zone is approaching.
If a speed selector with 2 or more pre-set levels is present on the
transmitting unit, calibration is to be performed for each of the selector positions.
If the RI97-08PVZA module inputs are used on the receiving unit,
calibration is performed for each of these inputs activating them in
sequence.

Module
calibration Position 0: dither frequency (for PWM output only)
When the rotary switch S is at 0, the PWM (current) dither frequency can be adjusted.
This value should not normally be modified. If necessary operate on the RPM+/- selector on the transmitting unit to modify the desired value
Position 1: minimum and maximum values for Z2-Z7 outputs
The maximum and minimum values of the two semiaxis of each joystick are adjusted
with the rotary switch S in position 1. Proceed as follows:
- To set the maximum value, take the joystick to the maximum range of the semiaxis to be calibrated. Keep the same position and use the toggle switch RPM +/to set the desired value.
- Once the maximum values have been set, take the joystick just out of the standstill position of the semiaxis to be calibrated to set the minimum values. Keep the
same position and use the toggle switch RPM +/- to set the desired value.
Position 2: output value when the joystick is in the standstill position
The voltage value corresponding to the joystick standstill position is adjusted with the
rotary switch S in position 2. This value should not normally be modified. If necessary
proceed as follows:
- take any joystick out of the standstill position
- Keep the same position and use the toggle switch RPM +/- to set the desired value.
Position 3: maximum and minimum Z8 output values
Position 4: maximum and minimum Z9 output values
When the rotary switch S is at 3 and 4, it is possible to regulate the maximum and
minimum values of auxiliary outputs Z8 and Z9 respectively. Proceed as follows:
- To fix the maximum value, use the related actuator (on the transmitting unit) and
take it to its end limit. Keep the same position and use the RPM +/- toggle switch
to set the desired value.
- Once the maximum value has been set, use the related actuator (on the transmitting unit) and take it to the beginning to fix the minimum value. Keep the
same position and use the toggle switch RPM +/- to set the desired value.
Position 5: inversion of the movement direction
The direction of the movement is inverted with the rotary switch S in position 5 (for
the powered outputs only). Proceed as follows:
- position the joystick of the axis to be inverted outside the standstill position
- keep this position and position the RPM+/- selector on the transmitting unit to +
to invert the direction of the semiaxis, and to - to reset the semiaxis direction.
Saving the
calibration 9. Switch off the transmitting unit to save the calibration.
10. Remove power from the receiving unit.
11. Position DIP 1 to OFF.
12. Close the receiving unit and connect the power supply.

RADIO FREQUENCIES
A radio remote control can be programmed in AUTOMATIC SCAN or MANUAL SELECTION.
Automatic
scan A radio remote control is normally programmed by the manufacturer in the following
manner: it can therefore operate in any of the available frequencies. In cases of interference or conflict with other systems, the working frequency can be changed (see
paragraph “Frequency change”) without having to touch the inside of either the transmitting or the receiving units.
Manual
selection Only contact Autec authorized personnel if the working radio fre-
quency has to be set in this manner.
Using the radio remote control in the manual selection mode makes it possible to
work at a specific frequency. To set this frequency, you must set the dip switches located in the transmitting and receiving modules.

DIAGNOSTICS
If the system “radio remote control + machine” does not start, check if the problem
is caused by the radio remote control or the machine. Therefore, before carrying out
any verification connect the alternative control unit: if the machine does not start, the
problem lies with the machine itself.
If, on the other hand, the machine only starts normally when started by the alternative control unit, the problem lies with the radio remote control. In this case, perform
the following checks.
