Radio Transmitter spectrum 3 M

1 Description
The spectrum 3 M transmitter is designed to transmit command instructions for
controlling constructional, industrial and mobile cranes, hoists and machines.
Depending on the type and version selected, up to 64 digital + 8 proportional control
commands plus the integrated STOP commands are available to the operator.
A non-interchangeable system address ensures the functional safety of the radio control
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 of the spectrum 3 transmitter, two rechargeable NiCd
batteries, a memory effect-free battery charger and a receiver with antenna.
The transmitter housing with integrated antenna is made of glass-fiber reinforced plastic.
State of the art radio technology complying with the latest guidelines of the regulations
on labor safety and the use of highly developed microprocessor technology guarantees
optimal operating safety, availability and longevity.
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 the 433.100 MHz to 434.750 MHz range or 869 MHz to
870 MHz bandwidth. The transmitter is equipped with < 10 mW (average) transmitting
power.
Operating the radio transmitter using a different frequency range or transmitting power
requires the approval of the competent regulative authorities for telecommunication.
Note :
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user´s authority to operate the equipment.

2 Safety Instructions
2.1 Pictographs
The following pictographs will be used throughout the present operating instructions :
Indicates a possible shock hazard
Contacting components under voltage may lead to death. Housing 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 hazard.
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.

2.2 General Safety Instructions
Radio controls facilitate and increase the operating efficiency of cranes and machines.
Nevertheless, the operator must thoroughly understand and be in a position to properly
use a radio control system !
Read the Operating Instructions Manual carefully and thoroughly before working with
the transmitter for the first time !
The operator undertakes to strictly adhere to the instructions and proceedings
described in this manual, as well as to follow the general rules and regulations for
worker safety and accident prevention. Ignoring any such instructions or regulations
could pose a fatal threat to the operator or others.
Keep this manual on location and readily available at all times !
Only authorized and properly trained personnel may operate the transmitter.
Anyone who is under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that has a
detrimental effect on a person's reactions may at no time commission, operate,
maintain or repair the transmitter.
Before switching the transmitter on ensure that no-one is or can be endangered by
the initiated operation.
With the first signs of any malfunction related to the operative safety and reliability
of the device the operator must immediately shut down or not activate the
transmitter. For the purpose of the present manual "shut down" implies :
– switching OFF the transmitter,
– storing the transmitter in a safe place and ensuring no unauthorized 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 competent personnel.
Use only original spare parts of HBC-radiomatic GmbH. 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 operating instructions !
When using the transmitter always observe the regulations and instructions
stipulated in the authoritative worker safety and accident prevention regulations.
– The transmitter has been manufactured in accordance with 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 transmitter has been tested and approved in accordance with EMC
guidelines and complies with the authoritative standards for emitted interference
and interference immunity.
Use the transmitter cautiously and properly. In particular when using a transmitter to
radio control a machine or crane for the first time.

2.3 Operator Safety Instructions
Before beginning crane operation, position yourself so that you have a clear and
complete overview of the working radius of the crane or machine.
To operate, hold the transmitter securely in your hand. Use the optional wrist strap.
Follow these instructions to ensure personal safety.
Depending on your angle or position to the crane or machine, the transmitter control
commands “trolley left” and “trolley right” appear to interchange ! It is essential that
you take your bearings to the crane or machine into due consideration before
operating equipment.
In case of an emergency or any disturbances within the working range of the crane
or machine, switch the transmitter off immediately by pressing the STOP
pushbutton. Should the transmitter show signs of technical failure or breakdown,
disconnect the radio control system immediately !
Switch the transmitter off during breaks and after finishing work to avoid any
misoperation of crane or machine by unintended activation of the operator controls.
– These precautions are particularly important whenever changing your position or
climbing over an obstacle.
Never leave an activated transmitter unattended. The operator undertakes to follow
and comply with the authoritative regulations for worker safety and accident
prevention.
Note :
– In the event of an interruption of the radio link during a working cycle – what can
occasionally happen – both transmitter and receiver automatically shut down (socalled "compulsory switch-off").
To reactivate the system release all operator controls, such as pushbuttons or
momentary contacts, and allow the control elements to return to their zero position.
Press the "ON " pushbutton. The system must be reactivated before the crane or
machine can react to control commands! This feature hinders any uncontrolled or
unwanted crane or machine movement, should the radio link be interrupted.
– When operating a crane by means of a radio control system for the first time, you
may miss the physical contact to the crane that you were used to in the operating
stand. As you are no longer in the crane and can no longer sense the starting of the
crane movements as distinctly, crane reactions will appear sluggish or dull.
