INTRODUCTION

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 uses radio frequencies to
transmit a coded message which contains a value
called address. Each receiving unit can only decode
the messages coming from its own transmitting unit
with the same address.
This excludes the possibility of an interference
activating any system function. If the radio
frequency transmission is disturbed, incorrect or
interrupted, the receiving unit autonomously stops
the whole system.

Each radio remote control complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

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.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:

-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.

-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is
installed on applications that are different from those permitted

PERMITTED USES

:

Material lifting machines (construction cranes, industrial bridge cranes,
machines for moving material in general, . . . )

FORBIDDEN USES

Machines installed in areas where equipment with explosion-proof
characteristics are being used.
Machines for moving, raising and transporting people.

Alll 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 cannot be held responsible if the risk analysis is not carried out correctly.

To guarantee correct radio remote control operation, all current regulations regarding
safety at work and accident prevention should be respected. All current user country
national laws 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.

.

!

In any cases of emergencies, faults or damaged parts, ALWAYS stop
the “machine + radio remote control” system until the problem has
been solved.

Any damaged parts can ONLY be replaced by authorised
Autec personnel or service representative, and only using original Autec
spare parts.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT

The following minimum documentation is supplied with each radio remote
control:

- transmitting unit manual

- receiving unit manual

- battery charger manual

- a guarantee certificate

- the radio remote control technical data sheet.

Make sure that the following documents have been supplied: if they are not, request

them from Autec. Please specify the radio remote control serial number.

The conditions of the radio remote control guarantee are given in the “Certificate of
Guarantee”.

The technical data sheet shows the wiring system between the receiving unit and the
machine. It should be compiled and checked by the installer, who has the responsibility
of correct wiring. Once all necessary checks have taken place the installer must sign the
technical data sheet, which must be kept with the user's manual (always keep a copy of
this data sheet in case it is needed for administrative purposes).

The radio remote control identification and approval data is given on plates that are on
both the transmitting unit and the receiving unit.

The plates MUST NOT be removed from where they are placed or damaged
otherwise the warranty will be forfeited.

!

Following from the status of dip switch no.1 or possibly due to a failure
(of the dip switch itself), a delay up to max 1 second may occasionally
occur between command release and actual deactivation of outputs.
This is due to the characteristics of radio propagation (i.e.: EM
interferences, near out-of-range condition). Care must be taken to
ensure that this could never lead to.
