1.2 Operation of Radio Remote Control System Components with Identical System

Address

For a safe operation, the radio control transmitter and the radio control receiver are uniquely paired by way
of an unique system address. This system address will only be assigned once by the manufacturer.

For further information, refer to the applicable standards and regulations, e.g. for crane control: [BGR 149
respectively DIN EN 60204-32]. It must be ensured that only one transmitter-receiver pair can be operated
with a sp ecific system address.

An identical system address will not be assigned again by Cattron-Theimeg Europe GmbH & Co.KG
unless this is expressly requested by the Customer.

In cases where several transmitters and/or receivers for the control of a machine are available,
precautions must be taken to ensure that only 1 transmitter, respectively 1 receiver, can be used at any
one time.
In the case of a supply of radio remote control system components with an identical system address,
Cattron-Theimeg Europe GmbH & Co.KG ships components with warning instructions for the user that
must be affixed to the devices.

The customer undertakes to ensure that no other radio remote control system with the same system
address is operated. In the event of a breach of this undertaking, the customer is liable for the resulting
damages/loss and he shall indemnify the manufacturer against all third-party liability claims.
