5.- USING THE SET
To ensure correct use of the equipment, follow the instructions below:
Make sure the transmitter you are going to use is the right one, identifying the machine
on the identification label. In the case of transmitters with LCD display, you are able to
edit the machine identification label, refer to ANNEX B. It will allow to the operator to
identify the machine before the starting of the equipment.
Attach the belt to the transmitter unit. Its use is recommended to prevent the
equipment from falling.
Introduce a charged battery, turn the contact key and activate the transmitter.
To activate the system, you must first pull out the STOP button, the LED should then
give an orange pulse followed by green pulses; 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 button for 1 second.
The green LED should light up, indicating that the transmitter has started 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 transmitter, all the command controls associated with active
manoeuvres must be in the neutral position (not activated). This is not the case for the
selection functions.
When 4 minutes have passed and no active manoeuvre command has been activated,
the transmitter automatically goes to STAND BY mode, indicated by green pulses each
3 seconds. To start it up once more, press the start button.
The transmitter is equipped with a circuit for monitoring the battery level. When this
level drops below a pre-established limit, the transmitter LED starts to flash in red; 5
minutes later the transmitter switches off, and the machine’s main contactor is
deactivated. During this time, the load has to be located on a safe position. If the STOP
button is activated during this time, transmitter will not start again, unless battery is
replaced.
In transmitters with LCD, the battery power level is indicated as follows:
• 3 segments: charge greater than 50%.
• 2 segments: charge between 50 and 10%.
• 1 segment: charge between 10 and 5%.
• Nothing: charge lower than 5%.
To switch off the transmitter, 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.
