1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Conventions
In this manual, all important information is highlighted in the following symbols and conventions:

1.2 System description
Industrial radio remote controls of the Modular series are used to control machines from a distance.
Each industrial radio remote control is made up of at least one portable transmitting unit, from
which the user can remotely control the machine, and at least one receiving unit installed on
board the machine itself.
Each 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 transmission is disturbed, incorrect or interrupted, the receiving unit autonomously stops the whole
system thanks to the passive emergency function (passive stop).
WARNINGS
This symbol highlights all extremely important indications and in-
:
formation: failure to observe them could cause grave danger to
people or objects.
: IMPORTANT TEXTS
“Master/Slave”
system
The radio remote controls of the Modular series are equipped with a dual channel processing that protects the system “radio remote control+machine”, when it is in neutral (standstill) position, from unintended movements caused by possible radio
remote control single faults. Such safety function is only possible if the wiring instructions in the technical data sheet (see paragraph 1.5) and the regulations for correct
installation are respected (see paragraph 3.4 or paragraph 3.5).
A “Master/Slave” system consists of two transmitting units (called UTX-M and UTX-S) and of two
receiving units (called URX-1 and URX-2).
A “Master/Slave” system is designed and implemented so that all its units always work in the same working application, and they cannot be split into two independent radio remote controls.

UTX-M
UTX-S
LIMM&SA0-00.fm
The transmitting unit UTX-M can work:
- in single mode, namely it can work with either of the two receiving units (either URX-1 or URX-
2)
- in tandem mode, namely it can work with both receiving units simultaneously
The transmitting unit UTX-S can only work in single mode with the receiving unit URX-2.
“Master/
Master” system
The receiving unit URX-1 can only be controlled by the transmitting unit UTX-M.
The receiving unit URX-2 can be controll ed by the two transmitting units, one at a time in an
independent and exclusive way.

Radio transmission of a “Master/Slave” system uses two different addresses:
- one is used for the transmitting unit UTX-M, and can be decoded by both receiving units
- one is used for the transmitting unit UTX-S, and can only be decoded by the receiving unit
URX-2.
A “Master/Master” system consists of two transmitting units (called UTX-M and UTX-S) and of
two receiving units (called URX-1 and URX-2).
A “Master/Master” system is designed and implemented so that all its units always work in the same working application, and they cannot be split into two independent radio remote controls.

1.3 Conformity
Each Modular series 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.
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.

1.4 Risk analysis
All warnings listed in this manual have to be taken into account during risk analysis and when setting out protection measures.
All machines must undergo a risk analysis: it is therefore necess ary to evaluate, within the limits
of this analysis, if the machine can be radio remote controlled.
Some warnings and information for risk analysis for one or more machines controlled by a “Master/Slave” or “Master/Master” system are provided in this paragraph.
Following information is NOT exhaustive and/or DOES NOT replace requirements of current regulations in this field.
Risk analysis must always be carried out bearing in mind that the radio remote
control system consists of one or more transmitting units and of more receiving
units.
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.
When carrying out risk analysis for the machine, the following aspects regarding the radio remote control have to be considered:
1.working application
2.loss of radio link
3.the un intended activation or loss of a command
1 Introduction
Working
application
Loss of radio link
Activation and
loss of a
command
Following has to be taken into account:
- wiring must guarantee correct o peration according to whet her the receiving u nit is installed
on a single machine or on different machines;
- if paired controls amongst the different machines are needed, the radio remote control c annot
guarantee synchronism between the different receiving units;
- if the remote controlled machines are not within the same vis ual field, the operator should
always be able to know which machines are being activated in a particular moment (i.e.
through an acoustic or light signal).
It must be taken into account the fact that radio link with one or more receiving units can be
lost due to radio interferences, power supply disconnection and electrical failures
Carefully evaluate which consequences such malfunction can have.
It must be taken into account that unintentional activation of a command and/or loss of command selection can be possible. Such unusual situations can be caused by electromechanical or
mechanical failure of the system “machine+radio remote control”.
Carefully evaluate which consequences such malfunction can have.
If required by the risk analysis, draw up protection measures to prevent, reduce
and report potential hazard situations.
1.5 Documentation
Instructions
for the
management of
documentation
Documentation enclosed with each radio remote control includes at least the following:
- instruction and warnings manual
- battery charger manual
-technical data sheet.
Make sure that such documents have been supplied: if they are not, please ask them
to Autec specifying the product serial number.
Technical data
sheet
LIMM&SA0-00.fm
The technical data sheet shows the wiring diagram between the receiving unit and the machine.
The technical data sheet must be filled in and checked by the installer, who is responsible for a
correct wiring. Once all necessary checks have been carried out, the installer m ust undersign
the technical data sheet, which must be kept wit h the user's manual (al ways keep a copy of this
data sheet for administrative purposes).

Due to the characteristics of radio propagation (i.e.: EM interferences, near outof-range condition), a delay up to one second may occasionally occur between
command release and actual deactivation of the corresponding output. Care
must be taken to ensure that this could never lead to a dangerous situation in the
specific uses.
