1.3 Practices and Laws
Practice safe working precautions for the benefit of yourself and others.
Be alert to unsafe conditions and the possibility of minor, moderate, or serious injury or death. Learn applicable rules and laws in your area.
1.4 Required Operator Training
The original purchaser of this unit was instructed by the seller on safe and proper operation. If unit is to be used by someone other than original purchaser; loaned, rented or sold, ALWAYS provide this manual and any needed safety training before operation. ALWAYS read and understand the documentation for any machine to be controlled by radio remote control.
1.5 Possible Sources of Danger
This device is part of a system that makes remote control via wireless radio signals possible. The transmission of control commands can take place around obstacles and out of the operator’s direct line of sight. Take the following precautions to prevent accidental start-up and possible injury or damage:
4
Switch “OFF” the transmitter when it is not in use. Unless the transmitter has user access control password configured, remove the battery if unit is placed away from the operator.
Disconnect the power supply from the receiver before any assembly, maintenance or repair work is done.
AVOID SYSTEM DAMAGE - ALWAYS disconnect receiver power supply and control wiring before welding on any part of the machine.
Never remove or alter any of the safety features.
ALWAYS confirm that the machine and radio remote control Stop functions work properly BEFORE beginning any machine operation.
1.6 Protective Features
This transmitter is equipped with electronic and mechanical safety features. Control signals from other transmitters cannot be processed because transmission coding is unique to each system.
1.7 STOP in case of EMERGENCY
Push the emergency stop on the machine.
1.8 Caring for your ERGO-S
The enclosure materials employed on the ERGO-S transmitter have been carefully selected to minimise maintenance requirements.
Buy a Hetronic ERGO-S holster and screen protector. These will take care of your transmitter by preventing it from being subject to knocks and scratches. This helps to keep the unit’s appearance longer and may also protect it from some internal damage should you accidentally knock or drop it.
Always use genuine chargers and accessories. Cheaper ones that are not compatible or made for going with your ERGO-S can harm the unit or lessen its lifespan.
Do not keep your ERGO-S stored in a closed container for extended periods of time unless it is powered off and the battery is removed from the unit. Charging the ERGO-S in a closed container is a potential fire hazard and may shorten its lifespan. Lithium-Ion batteries give off heat when charging and when discharging. Keep your battery percentage between 40%-80% for longer battery life.
Clean your ERGO-S regularly. Use damp cloth or alcohol wipes to clean the unit’s exterior surfaces. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents that may inadvertently damage the unit.

The transmitter may then be connected to Hetronic PC-Link (refer to Programming and Servicing Manual for instructions) for the Error to be corrected.
After a successful initialization, the ERGO-S transmitter will enter Normal Operation Mode. The Green LED will blink at the baud rate i.e. the LED toggles on with every transmitted telegram frame. All other LEDs switch off. Test all machine functions. Refer to your machine, transmitter and receiver documentation as needed.
4.5 Transmitter Initialization with Graphic User Interface (TFT) and Standard Status LED Indicator
Upon turning the transmitter ON, the TFT screen turns ON and all the front LEDs light up as solid colours and then switch off before the unit performs the routine initialization.
During initialization, if the coder finds an error in the radio module, address, configuration or feedback, the transmitter will boot up and the failure will be displayed as a blinking RED status LED at the baud rate. The error will also be displayed on the screen. The transmitter may then be connected to Hetronic PC-Link (instructions can be found in Programming and Service Manual) for the Error to be corrected.
After a successful initialization, the ERGO-S transmitter will enter Normal Operation Mode and display the Splash screen. The correct Operation Access Code must be inputted for the ERGO-S to start operating.
NOTE: This can be changed/enabled/disabled when the transmitter is in Service mode during operation or through Hetronic PC-Link. Refer to Section 5.1 for instructions on how to change when in Service Mode and in Programming and Service Manual for Hetronic PC-Link instructions.
