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.

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.

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.

1.4 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).

2.3 Warnings for the use of the transmitting units
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS MAR RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONNEL AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
The user must always respect the following warnings:
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.
The operator should always ensure that both units are complete and that the
gaskets, bellows and hoods of the actuators (joysticks, selectors, pushbuttons)
are whole. If they are not, the radio remote control must not be used before being repaired.
Visually follow all movements of all remote controlled machines and of all correspondent loads; the user must therefore be in a position that offers the best visibility condition of the whole area.
Before using the radio remote control always make sure that the STOP pushbutton can be pressed and released: if it does not work, do not use the radio remote
control.
First switch on and start the transmitting unit, and then check that the STOP
pushbutton works properly: if the machine movements are not stopped when it
is activated, do not use the radio remote control.
Switch off the transmitting unit when work is interrupted. Avoid leaving the load
suspended in the air (even when changing the battery).
2 Transmitting units
Never leave the transmitting unit unguarded when the starting keyswitch is inserted.
Switch on or use the transmitting unit only when starting work: improper use
could be hazardous.
Never switch on or use the transmitting unit in closed spaces, with the machine
not in sight, or outside the typical working range.
When operating in tandem mode, always stay within the working range of both
receiving units, in order to facilitate radio link with each of them and to be sure
to control both receiving units.
Pay attention to the entire work area. Immediately press the STOP pushbutton
in case of hazard.
If the two machines do not have an alignment control system (see
paragraph 3.5), the user must be properly trained in order to operate correctly if
loss of alignment occurs.
In this case, immediately release the active command and/or activate the STOP
command.
Pay attention not to let elements such as concrete, sand, lime, etc. deposit on the
transmitting unit because they can compromise transmitting unit use and safety.
In case of malfunctions and/or damaged and/or faulty parts, put the radio remote control out of use until the problem has been completely eliminated.
2.4 Warnings for the maintenance of the transmitting units
Ensure that the battery has been removed from the transmitting unit before carrying out any maintenance work.
Any failures should be repaired by authorised Autec personnel using original Autec spare parts only.
LIMM&SA0-00.fm
In order to work with a unit that is always efficient an d safe, it is necess ary to carry out correctly
maintenance work (see chapter 7).

3.4 General warnings for the installation of the receiving unit
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS MAR 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
installation country rules.
The installer must always respect the following warnings:
Place the receiving unit vertically, with the cable gland (or plug) facing down.
- 12 -
Install the receiving unit so that the radio link is facilitated.
- the receiving unit must not be shielded by metal objects
- the antenna stylus must be at least 50 cm far from metal objects in its surroundings
WARNING: If the receiving unit is covered by metal structures or installed inside
metal cabinets, use the appropriate extension kit for the antenna.
LIMM&SA0-00.fm
Page 17
In this case, install the antenna in a vertical position, and possibly place it near
the work area.
Place the receiving unit so that it can be reached easily.
Fix the receiving unit in 4 points, using the specific holes in the housing and the
specific vibration dampers.
Do not modify or tamper with the radio remote control, the machine or its electrical panel. Do not perforate the receiving unit in any case.
Check that the receiving unit power supply is within the voltage range given in
the “Technical Data”, and that the voltages and currents being used do not exceed the maximum permitted values.
Do not bypass the radio remote control safety devices and/or those present inside the machine.
Respect the IEC60204-32 (for hoisting machines) and/or IEC60204-1 prescriptions (for machines).
Never power on the receiving unit directly from the mains. A main switch should
always be present to allow power supply removal.
Remember to carefully wire the SAFETY contact in series with the movement
commands inside the receiving unit.

After installation and wiring, always check that the manoeuvres carried out are
exactly the same as the commands given (in particular check the STOP command).
Group the wiring away from the radio modules in order to avoid interferences
and hazards related to electrical safety.
Never remove the jumper between the STOP-command contacts 2 and 3, unless
a circuit with 2 separate contacts (4 wires) is required. If removed, the STOP circuit could loose its safety functions.
When maintenance is carried out on the machine (i.e. when soldering), remove
power supply by disconnecting all electric connections (both during installation
and during normal operation).
The installer must CHECK and/or FILL IN the “Technical Data Sheet”, indicating the date the system has been put into service, signing and stamping it.

3.5 Specific warnings for the installation of the receiving unit

IEC60204
Wiring
Radio link
Alignment
control
Pursuant to section 9.2.7.5 of the IEC60204-1 (and IEC60204-32), installation of two
different lamps (or horns) in the receiving units, connected to the dedicated terminals
ENA-M and ENA-S (as explained in the technical data sheet) is recommended.
These two signal devices indicate the working status of the receiving units (see
chapter 4 for the “Master/Slave” system and chapter 5 for the “Master/Master” system).
The installer must carry out wiring and/or check that this one assure s correct operation of the
machines working together.
Wiring is fundamental for the system to operate in a correct and safe way, as it
is for all radio remote controls with different receiving units. In some cases wiring could be the only way to implement any possible measure for risk reduction.
For example, given the possibility to use the same commands in different receiving units on different machines or parts of a machine, it is fundamental to carry out appropriate wiring to implement any possible measure for risk prevention, reduction and signalling in the various
situations.
Install the two receiving units and their antennas so that the radio link is facilitated.
- minimum distance between the two units or antennas must be more than 3
meters
- maximum distance between the two units or antennas must be shorter than
twice the typical working range of the radio remote control
While operating in tandem mode, if unusual adverse conditions occur (such as electromagnetic
disturbance, interferences or failure and disconnection) a transmitting u nit could lose radio link
with only one of the two receiving units. Correct installation of the two receiving units reduce s
considerably likelihood that such a situation occurs because of radioelectrical causes.
A “Master/Slave” or “Master/Master” system does non assure alignment between the remote controlled machines: if required in the risk analysis, it must be
installed an alignment control system that intervenes properly.
3.6 Warnings for the maintenance of the receiving unit
Ensure that the receiving unit has been disconnected from the power source before carrying out any maintenance work.
Any failures should be repaired by authorised Autec personnel using original Autec spare parts only.
In order to work with a unit that is always efficient an d safe, it is necess ary to carry out correctly
maintenance work (see chapter 7).

8PROGRAMMING
The dip switches can only be programmed by authorised personnel; programming is only possible when the receiving unit is not powered and the battery has
been removed from the transmitting unit.
The incorrect closure of the transmitting and the receiving unit can compromise
the seal between the casings and thereby the protection degree from dust and
water.
8.1 Programming the transmitting module
To change the programming set in the radio module, it is necessary to open the transmitting
unit.
The group of eight dip switches located on the radio modules is used to program some functions
and set the working frequency. The programming set in the other group of four dip switches
must never be modified.
For the correct functioning (see paragraph 1.7), the group of 8 dip switches (excluding DIP 1) for the radio modules E16STXEU_ and E16SRXEU_ must be set in

9DIAGNOSTICS
If the system “machine+radio remote control” 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 cable control unit: if the machine does not start, the problem lies with the machine itself.
If, on the other hand, the machine only s tarts when using the cable control unit, the problem
lies with the radio remote control. In this ca se, follow the diagnostic procedure related to the
transmitting unit and that related to the receiving unit if it is the case, and proceed as follows.
Before carrying out diagnostics it is recommended to replace the battery with a
charged one and ensure the efficiency of the starting keyswitch.
