3.- INSTALLATION
3.1 The CB60 battery charger
Connect the charger to the mains using the power source and cable supplied. On
installing the battery charger, bear in mind that the batteries must be charged at
temperatures over 5ºC and that the power supply must be left on all night. Also
remember that the charger must not be left in direct sunlight as the batteries will not
become fully charged at temperat ur es exceeding 35º C.
Place the batteries in the charger. T he LEDs should light up, indicating that recharging
is in process. Complete recharging takes 12 hours, but t he batteries may rem ain in the
charger for an unlimited period of time.
The capacity of the batteries decreases with use. Their lif e span is estimat ed to be 500
recharging cycles, but this depends largely on the conditions of use, for which the
following is recommended:
!
Do not recharge the battery until it is completely flat. The transmitter indicates
this.
!
Always charge the batteries at temperatures between 5º and 35ºC.
!
Avoid short-circuits between the battery contacts. Do not carry charged batteries
in tool-boxes or next to other metal objects (keys, coins, etc.)
!
Always keep contacts clean.
!
Never leave batter ies in direct sunlight.
TM60Pi (06/00) PAG. 4
3.2.- Receiver
Make sure that the crane is stopped for the entire duration of the
assembly process, keep the work area free and wear protective
clothing.
Park the crane and position stop-ends, (if these are not available use
appropriate signs), at a suitable distance so that it is not hit by other
cranes on the same runway.
Check the power-supply voltage and turn off the mains switch.
Find a suitable location for the receiver, away from any intense radioelectric
disturbance source and install the receiver cabinet using 4 elastic absorber s.
The receiver antenna must be placed free of shielding by metal parts which could
obstruct reception of the sig nal. If this is not possible, please request an antenna with
cable extension.
TM60Pi (06/00) PAG. 5
There are three ways to connect the receiver box to the crane's electrical installations:
!
Using multiwire cable.
!
Using a multipin connector in the receiver box.
!
Using a cable with a terminal multipin connector.
TM60Pi (06/00) PAG. 6
Connect the power supply and the receiver outputs on the corresponding relay board
plug-in terminals. Do this following the outputs diagram, which is supplied with the set.
This diagram indicates the connection between the transmitter commands and the
receiver outputs.
The KSTOP1 and KSTOP2 relays are in series and must be connected to the main
contactor coil circuit.
The K2/START is activated once the start- up com mand is held down.
The K1/SEC relay is a security relay which is activated when certain commands
predefined as “active” on configuration of the set, (i.e. commands which give rise to
manoeuvres), are activated.
Remember to connect the ground cable.
Only use fireproof cables for connections.
Select the appropriate voltage on the receiver, (230, 115 or 48 Vac).
TM60Pi (06/00) PAG. 7
3.3.- Starting-up
Proceed with caution; the equipment may not be connected correctly
which may lead to unforeseeable movements on starting-up.
Once the receiver has been connected, disconnect the power supply to the motor s(for
example, by removing the fuses) and power on the receiver. The following receiver
LEDs should now light up.
POWER: indicat es t hat the power supply is correct.
HARD: two LEDs on the relay board and on the logic board indicate the absence
of defects on the boards.
Next, place a charged battery in the transmitter and turn it ON. To do this, turn the
contact key, push and pull out the STOP button and press the start button. The gr een
LED should light up, indicating that the transmitter is transmitting.
1.- LED 4.- STOP button
2.- Start button 5.- Command elements
3.- Contact key 6.- Label for crane identif icat ion
TM60Pi (06/00) PAG. 8
On receiving a signal from the transmitter, the following LEDs will light up on the
receiver:
SIGNAL: this indicates that it is receiving an RF signal at the working frequency.
DATA: this means that the data format is correct.
ID: this means that the receiver has recognised the transmitter’s identification
code.
Now, the KSTOP 1 and KSTOP 2 relays will be activated. K2/START relay is activated
only meanwhile the start button is pushed.
Press on any of the transmitter’s manoeuvre buttons and its corresponding relay will be
activated and its LED will light up. In case of an active manoeuvre, the safety relay
K1/SEC will also activate.
Check to make sure all the other m anoeuvres work in t his way.
Turn off the t ransmitter using the STOP button, and make sure t hat on doing so the
relays are deactivated and the DATA, ID and SIGNAL LEDs go out .
Reconnect the power supply to the motors, move to t he usual work position and check
to see if all the manoeuvres and the STOP but t ons ar e functioning correctly.
Remember that the receiver has several voltage-powered circuits.
Even when the power has been cut off, there is still a risk of electrical
shocks.
TM60Pi (06/00) PAG. 9
3.4.- Spurious
The receiver is designed to become blocked if there is intense spurious disturbance
arising from galvanic, inductive, or capacitive coupling, thus preventing unwanted
manoeuvres.
As a precautionary measure, it is recommended that spurious-preventing devices
(diodes, capacitors, RC circuits) be fitted at the source of the disturbance. T hese devices
should be connected directly to the contactor coil terminals, electro-valves, etc. and can
be obtained from the usual contactor suppliers.
If the equipment is installed on a vehicle with a friction power supply where electric
arcs are produced as a result of defective contact, an RC circuit should be fitted
between each phase and earth.
Spurious-preventing devices should also be fitted when installing the set on a spark
combustion engine vehicle.
TM60Pi (06/00) PAG. 10
4.- USE
To ensure correct use of the equipment, follow the instructions below:
!
Make sure the transmitter you are going t o use is the right one, ident ifying the machine
on the identification label.
!
Attach the belt to the transmitter unit. Its use is recommended to prevent the
equipment from falling.
!
Introduce a charged battery, tur n t he contact key. This will activate the transmitter.
!
To activate the system , you must f irst pull out t he STO P butt on, t he gr een LED should
then give a green pulse; then press the START button. If you find that the STOP
button has already been pulled out, it is necessary to push it in and then pull it out
again, as this sequence will allow the check in of the STOP circuit. If the unit has
experienced a time-out auto-disconnection, it is not necessary to repeat the STOP
button procedure, simply push the START but t on for 1 second.
!
The green LED should light up, indicating that t he transmitter has star ted transmitting.
From now on, if any of the transmitter’s command buttons are pressed, the
corresponding manoeuvre will be activated.
!
To be able to start up the transmit ter, all the command contr ols associated with active
manoeuvres must be in the neutral position (not activated). This is not t he case f or t he
selection functions.
!
When 4 minutes have passed and no active manoeuvre command has been activated,
the transmitter automatically switches off. To start it up once more, press the start
button.
!
The transmitter is eq uipped with a circuit for monitoring the battery level. W hen this
level drops below a pre-established limit, the transmitter LED starts t o flash in red, and
a buzzer goes on; 5 minutes later the transmitter switches of f, and the machine’s main
contactor is deactivated. During this time, the load has to be located on a safe
position.
!
The console transmitters have tilt monitoring circuit to detect abnormal console
positions. The transmitter cannot work if it is not in the vertical posit ion. If the console
is not in a vertical position, the LED will flash red three times and a buzzer will go off. If
the console is tilted while transmitting, af ter 2 seconds all manoeuvres will cease even
if the main contactor is still on. To reinitiate transmission, the console must be put back
in the upright position and the manoeuvres must be deact ivated.
!
To switch off the transmit t er , press the STOP button or turn off the contact key.
Remember that you are going to remote control a moving piece of
machinery. The safety instructions described in chapter 2 of this
manual must be strictly adhered to.

TM60Pi (06/00) PAG. 12
5.3.- Preventive maintenance
A few simple checks can bring to light certain def ects which can later be the cause of
subsequent break-downs and which can be readily rectified. We recommend the
following checks to be made from time to time:
Transmitter:
!
Check the transmitter’s closing scr ews to make sure they are securely tightened.
!
Check the rubber protection seals on the transmitter’s command buttons from time
to time. Replace them if t hey are found to have deteriorated. T his will protect the
unit’s watertightness.
!
Keep the battery contacts clean.
Receiver:
!
Check to make sure the cable f ixture screws are tig ht.
!
Check the contacts on the fuses and the fuse-holders.
!
Check the connectors between the different receiver modules.
!
Check the state of the receiver ant enna, its connectors and cables.
Battery charger and batteries:
!
Keep all contacts clean.
TM60Pi (06/00) PAG. 13
5.4.- Locating Break-dow ns
The transmitter and receiver both have status m onitoring LEDs, which help to identify
irregularities. The transmitter also has an acoustic buzzer. The most common signals
are contained in the tables below:
TRANSMITTER
LED BUZZER MEANS
Green double flashing Off Transmitter ready for start-up
Solid green Off Transmitter transmitting normally
Red flashing Slow single buzz Battery level low
Red double flashing Rapid double buzz Transmitter cannot start up because a
manoeuvre command button is on.
Red triplet flashing Rapid triplet buzz Abnormal console position
Solid red Continuous Transmitter failure
RECEIVER
In normal circumstances, the 6 green LEDs and t he 2 red LEDs (associated with the
STOP relays) should be lighting. If this is so, press the transmit ter manoeuvre buttons
and observe the response of the output relays. If the response is normal, the problem
is not related to the remote contr ol equipment and the installation must be check ed. If
any of the relays is not activated, the problem is associated with the remote control
equipment. If this happens, obser ve the appear ance of the LEDs:
Relay Board:
LED COLOUR ON OFF
POWER Green Power supply OK Power failure
HARD Green Board OK Failure in the relay or logic board.
RELAYS Red Output activated Output not activated
Logic Board:
HARD Green Board OK Failure in board
SIGNAL Green Radio signal present
on the channel
Channel free
DATA Green Message OK Incorrect message
ID Gr een ID Code OK Does not recognise ID Code
If the problem is associated with the equipment , please send both the transm itter and
the receiver to the your Technical Assistance Service, together with a description of
the problem and the status of the LEDs.
