1 Description
The cubix transmitter is designed to transmit command instructions for controlling
industrial cranes, hoists and machines.
10 control commands plus the integrated STOP commands are available to the operator.
A non-interchangeable system addres s ensures the functional safety of the radio co ntrol
system when operating cranes or machines. This feature is particularly important when
several cranes or machines are in use, for example in halls and shops. The system
address is exclusively allocated to each HBC radio transmitter and its respective
receiver.
It is not possible to activate crane or machine functions using a radio control
system allocated to another crane or machine.
The radio control system consists o f the cubix transmitter an internal r echargeable NiMh
batteries, a battery charging- power-supply and a receiver. The transmitter housing with
integrated antenna is made of impact resis tant plastic.
The transmitter is powered by rechargeable batteries, charged with a memory effe ct-free
technology.
State of the art radio tec hnology complying with the latest guidelines of the regulations
on labor safety and the use of highly developed microprocessor technolog y guarantees
optimal operating safety, availability and long life time.
The transmitter has general telecommunications approvals. It is not necessary to have
or to apply for a license to operate the transmitter with the respective receiver. The
transmitter must be operated in USA in the 902 MHz to 918 MHz range or 910 MHz to
928 MHz bandwidth. For Europe we offer the 869 bandwidth.
Operating the radio transmitter using a different frequency range or transmitting power
requires the approval of the competent regu lative authorities fo r telecommunication .
Note :
The improper use, operation or deployment of the device renders the manufacturer
guarantee void of any legal substa nce !

Indicates a possible shock hazard
Contacting components under voltage may lead to death. Housing (e.g. hoods and
lids) marked with this symbol may only be opened by qualified electricians after
having disconnected the device from the mains supply (supply voltage, operating
voltage or input terminal voltage).
Indicates safety relevant passages
You will find this pictograph as an indicator for occupational safety measures. The
neglecting of such measures poses a serious haz ard.
Always observe the instructions and be particularly attentive and careful.
Avoid any situations that could at any time be a danger to persons or machines.
Indicates important information
This symbol brings your attention to important information on how to secure a long
serviceable life of the radio control system.
Pay attention to the comments and instructions given. Ignoring the information
provided may permanently impair the reliability and operability of the equipment.

– storing the transmitter in a safe plac e and ensuring no unau thorized access,
– de-energizing the receiver,
– unplugging the connection cable on the receiver !
! Defects must be repaired and sources of interference must be removed
immediately !
! A defective transmitter may only be repaired by qualified and competen t personnel.
Use only original HBC-radiomatic spare parts. The use of any other spares will
render the technical inspectorate approval invalid as well as substantially impede
operative safety.
! Observe all periodical tests and inspections that are required by law or
recommended in the present operat ing instructions !
! When using the cubix transmitter always observe the regulations and instructions
stipulated in the authoritative worker safety and accident prevention regulations
(VBG 9)
– The cubix transmitter has been manu factured in accordance w ith the regulations
and guidelines stipulated in the German Trade Association's "Safety and
Accident Prevention Regulations for Operating Cranes by Radio Controls" (VBG
9; ZH 1/547) and pr EN 12077-1 .
– The cubix transmitter has been tested and approved in accordance with EMC
guidelines and complies with the authoritative standards for emitted interf erence
and interference immunity.
! Use the transmitter cautiously and properly, in particular when using a transmitter to
