A radio remote control is considered as a machine control device and as a safety
component used to stop a machine as specified by the EEC Machinery Directive.
All applicable rules must therefore be observed to ensure safe, correct operation
of such devices.
-For maximum safety when using the radio remote control, we recommend that
the operator carefully follow the instructions provided in this manual.
-The operator must be appropriately trained and certified to operate machines
by radio remote control.
-The operator must have uninterrupted visibility of the manoeuvre which he
is performing. When the operator's direct field of view is inadequate, the lifting
machinery must be equipped with auxiliary devices to improve visibility.
When several machines are being moved simultaneously, the equipment must be
fitted out to limit to consequences of a possible collision.
-To avoid any risks of electrocution, don't open the receiver case when
powered.
-Never leave the transmitter lying around anywhere, in particular when it is
powered up.
-Never leave the radio control transmitter on the ground or on a metal surface. If
doing so becomes indispensable, press the stop palmswitch on the radio control.
-If several radio controls are used at the same site, different radio frequencies
should be used, spaced by at least two channels (for example, channels 5, 7, 9,
etc.). The more space there is between the chosen radio channels, the less the
risks of disturbance are.
-For safety reasons, remove the electronic key when not in use. Store it in a safe
and tracked down place.
-Do not forget to recharge the battery pack when discharged.
-In the event of a malfunction, immediately shut down the installation by pressing
the stop palmswitch on the transmitter and remove the electronic key.
-Service your equipment and perform all the periodic checks as may be required
by the intensity with which your equipment is used. Follow necessarily the
instructions of cleaning described in the chapter "Servicing".

or equal to 4 for each transmitted message
z Access is enabled by electronic key to an authorised operator only
z Memorisation of use of remote control by recording number of operations and durations
for each movement (option)
Easy maintenance :
z Customization entirely stored in electronic key
z Diagnostic aid indicator lights
z Parameter definition software (accessory)
Finally, the UDEE/UDRE radio remote controls fully satisfy the safety requirements of the current
applicable and draft standards and comply with the following European directives:

Experience shows that the functional efficiency of the system basically depends on the quality of
the installation :
- Implementation of elements,
- Marking of the controlled equipment,
- Wiring quality of UDRE receiver,
- Interference suppression,
- Electrical power supply protection,
- Minimum and maximum current of relay outputs,
- Choice of operating frequency.
2.5.1- Implementation of elements
))

))
Receiver position
The remote control receiver UDRE should be mounted as close as possible to the control
cabinet, vertical with respect to the machine structure. The receiver should be sheltered from
shocks and weather.
The antenna should be as far as possible from the class 3 cables and power components
(power supply, motor, variable speed drive, etc.) while remaining within an area favorable to
radio reception :
z The antenna should be located at a height, above the operator using the transmitter UDEE.
z The antenna must be directed toward the transmitter working areas (downward with a hoist).
z The antenna orientation is indicated in the figure below :
Element dimensions are available for consultation in Appendix C
No metal object which could create a screen should be located between the operator and
the antenna.
If there are several equipment fitted with similar radio remote control systems working in the
same neighbourhood (e.g. in a plant), each transmitter shall carry a clear indication which
tells the equipment driver which equipment is controlled by the transmitter in question.
In this respect, signalling arrows are available as an accessory.
Place the different arrows on the equipment to be controlled so that each arrow colour
corresponds to that on the associated transmitter control button.
The direction of movement of control buttons shall whenever possible be consistent with
equipment motion. Symbols shall be fixed in such positions that there is a clear and unambiguous
relationship between the action on buttons in the control station and the corresponding direction
of motion.
The arrows are available in the following versions:

2.5.3- Wiring
WARNING
To avoid any risks of electrocution, do not open the receiver case
when powered.
Important :
Do not place cables of different classes side by side.
A minimum space (20 cm) should be observed between the different classes :
- Class 1 : Radio, antenna cable (case of an antenna extension).
- Class 2 : Mains for power supply of various units.
- Class 3 : Power control for motors, variable speed drive, etc...
Ideally, each cable class should be run through a cable path specific to the class. If only one
cable path is available, cables of different classes should be separated as much as possible.
Wiring the receiver UDRE
If flexible stranded wire is used, crimped terminations should be used to avoid false contacts
and short circuits.
To open the connection terminal strips:
- Vertically push the screwdriver (flat tip screwdriver of 1.5 to
3 mm width) on the lever,
- Exercise a moderated pressure up to opening the terminal
Caution:The electrical connections should be made such that when the main switch
is off, the UDEE/UDRE remote control receiver is also deactivated.

UDR receiver reference :
For the wiring and to determine the correspondence between the action on a function button
and the relay controlled, refer to the configuration table supplied with the receiver (label on
housing cover) and appendix A.
In the event of inductive loads on the relay outputs (contactor coils, solenoid valves or electrobrakes), interference suppression devices such as capacitors, RC circuits, diodes, etc. mustbe placed directly at the terminals of the controlled components using the shortest possible
connections.
2.5.5- Electrical power supply protection
Protection against overcurrents (EN60204-1 § 7.2) resulting from overvoltages.
A fuse or other protection device should be provided in the power supply circuit of the receiver
(see wiring diagram for standard assemblies, item F in appendix D). The assigned current is
defined in the table in § «UDRE receiver technical characteristics».
2.5.6- Minimum and maximum current of relay outputs
Be sure not to exceed the minimum and maximum characteristics specified in § «UDRE
receiver technical characteristics» by installing, if necessary, an additional load or intermediate
relays (auxiliary contacts in electrical cabinet for power control, for example).
2.5.7- Auxiliary control
Measures should be taken to ensure, that when the radio control is not in service, another
control system can be used to ensure the safety of the operator and the manipulated load.
2.5.8- Choice of operating radio frequency
The 64 radio channels in 911-918MHz of the UDEE/UDRE provide a broad range of choices
among the available frequencies. To ensure good operating quality, it is important that the
radio channel used be free (as well as the preceding and the following one) throughout the
area in which the machine will be controlled.
If several radio remote controls are operating on the same site, frequencies spaced by at leasttwo channels (for example: 5, 7, 9 …) should be used and, if necessary, a frequency plan
should be drawn up, specifying the various machines controlled and their working frequency.
The various button functions are identified by means of adhesive labels placed in the recesses
provided in the transmitter unit envelope at each button location.
The labels are supplied in the form of sheets with the various labels you will need for your application.
Simply choose the labels corresponding to your configuration.
2 label kits are systematically supplied with UDEE transmitter: UWE202 and UWE207.
