INTRODUCTION TO LIGHT SERIES
Industrial radio remote controls of the LIGHT series
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 a 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 Light series 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.

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.

FREQUENCIES
The radio frequency of AUTEC radio remote controls is included in the group of
frequencies permitted by regulations that are current at the moment of radio
remote control entry onto the market.
Each radio remote control is programmed by the producer in the AUTOMATIC scan
mode (producer's standard programming) or MANUAL selection mode.
When operating in the MANUAL selection mode it is possible to work at a specific
frequency that must be set manually by programming the dip switches in the radio
modules (see “Settings” on page 13).
To set or modify this operation mode contact personnel that have been authorised
by Autec.
When operating in the AUTOMATIC scan mode it is possible to operate at a specific
frequency, which can be changed in case of interference or conflict with other radio
equipment using the “Changing the operating frequency” procedure.
This mode avoids internal interventions on the transmitting unit and the receiving unit.
MANUAL SELECTION MODE
AUTOMATIC SCAN MODE
Working frequency change process
With the transmitting unit started
1
(blinking green LED):
- press the START pushbutton
and keep it pressed (a),
- press the STOP pushbutton (b)
- release the START pushbutton.
Unlock the STOP pushbutton
2
by turning it as shown in the
photo and repeat the starting
procedure.

N.B.: During the work
frequency changing
process, the receiving unit
loses radioelectric
a
connection with the
transmitting unit. After
starting, some seconds may
be necessary to reset
connection, therefore keep
the START button pressed
for about 8÷10 seconds.
