2-3. General.

Radio controlled overhead cranes and other material handling equipment operate in several directions. They are
large, bulky pieces of equipment that handle heavy loads efficiently at high speeds. Quite frequently, the equipment

5

Section 2 – Radio Controlled Safety (Continued)

is operated in areas where people are working on the floor below. The crane operator must exercise extreme caution
at all times. Workers must constantly be alert to avoid accidents. The following rules have been included to indicate
how careful and thoughtful actions may prevent injuries, damage to equipment, or even save a life. If radio
controlled material-handling equipment is operated from the cab, special care must be taken to secure the trans­mitter. Refer to section titled Section 2-10. Boarding The Crane for specific safety rules.

2-4. Persons Authorized To Operate Radio Controlled Cranes.

Only properly trained persons designated by management should be permitted to operate radio-controlled cranes.
Radio controlled cranes should not be operated by any person who cannot read or understand signs, notices and

operating instructions that pertain to the crane.
Radio controlled cranes should not be operated by any person with insufficient eyesight or hearing or by any person

who may be suffering from a disorder or illness or is taking any medication that may cause loss of crane control.

2-5. Training Checklist For Crane Operators.

Anyone being trained to operate a radio-controlled crane shou ld po ssess as a minimum the fo llowing knowledg e and
skills before operating the crane:

The operator should have knowledge of hazards peculiar to crane operation.
The operator should have knowledge of the safety rules for radio-controlled cranes.
The operator should have the ability to judge distance or moving objects.
The operator should have knowledge of the radio transmitter.
The operator should know the limit switch test procedure.
The operator should know, where authorized, instructions for plug ging motions.
The operator should have knowledge of the use of crane warning lights and alarms.
The operator should have knowledge of observing cran e signal lights.
The operator should be trained to avoid striking any obstructions.
The operator should have knowledge of the proper clearance of lif ts or hooks before moving bridge or trolley.
The operator should have knowledge of the proper stor age space for radio control box when not in use.
The operator should be trained in transferring radio control box to another person.
The operator should be trained how and when to rep ort un safe or unusual operating conditions.
The operator should be trained how to exhibit caution in approaching bridge or trolley bumpers.
The operator should know equipment capacity.
The operator should be trained in making lifts below floor level.
The operator should be trained in making side pulls.
The operator should know how to keep himself and other people clear of lifts and to avoid "pinch" points.
The operator should know cable and hook inspection procedures.

6

Section 2 – Radio Controlled Safety (Continued)

The operator should know procedures for testing hoist, trolley, and bridge brakes.

2-6. Operating Area.

Aisles between equipment, stock, etc., should be free of obstructions so the crane operator can move freely. These
aisles should be a minimum of three feet (one meter) wide, or meet local regulations.

Crane operators should always position themselves for the best view of the crane they are controlling. The crane
should never be operated blindly. The operator should stay as close to the crane load as possible. Operators should
never position themselves in a "pinch" point.

2-7. Transmitter Unit.

Transmitter switches should never be mechanically blocked ON or OFF for any crane motion. When not in use turn
the transmitter OFF. A secure storage space should be provided for the transmitter unit and the transmitter unit
should always be placed there when not in use. This precaution will p revent u nauthorized p eople from operating th e
crane.

Spare transmitters should be stored in a secure storage space and only removed from the storage space after the
current transmitter in use has been turned OFF, taken out of the service area and secured.

2-8. Operating The Crane.
2-8.1. Pre-operation Test.

At the start of each work shift, or when a new operator takes control of the crane, operators shall do as a minimum
the following steps before making lifts with any crane or hoist:

Test the upper-limit switch. Slowly raise the unloaded hook block until the limit switch trips. When checking limit
switches the hoist should be centered over an area free of personnel and equipment.

Visually inspect the hook, load lines, trolley, and bridge as much as possible from the operator's station; in most
instances, this will be the floor of the building.

The bridge and trolley brakes should be tested. On transmitter units equipped with two or more speeds, use the
"lowest" speed when testing braking devices.

When lifting maximum loads, the crane operator should test the hoist brakes by raising the load a few inches from
the floor. If the brakes do not hold, the load should immediately be lowered to the floor.

If provided, test the lower-limit switch.
Test all warning devices.
Test all direction and speed controls for both bridge and trolley travel.
Test all bridge and trolley limit switches, where provided, if operation will bring the equipment in close proximity to

the limit switches.
Test the transmitter emergency stop.
Test the hoist brake to verify there is no drift without a load.
If any crane or hoist fails any of the above tests notify the supervisor and lock out and tag for repair.

7

Section 2 – Radio Controlled Safety (Continued)

2-8.2. General Rules For Operation.

Consult the crane manufacturer, local and governmental regulations for complete rules of operation. In general the
following rules apply to remotely controlled cranes:

The limit switches should never be used as a regular stopping device. They are intended to be protective devices.
Do not make lifts in excess of the equipment rated capacity.
The bridge and trolley should be centered directly over the load when the load is raised to prevent swinging when

making lifts.
A crane designed for this purpose and only with supervisor permission sh ould make side pulls. When a lift is bein g

made, the crane operator should not be positioned in the line of travel. The crane or hoist should be operated from a
position either to the side or opposite from the direction of travel.

When raising or lowering a load, proceed slowly and make certain the load is under control. Tag lines should be
used for handling unusual lengths or bulky loads. Remove slack from chains or slings gradually. Make certain all
personnel are clear before making a lift.

The crane operator should keep all body parts away from the lift and should never be positioned under the lift.
Do not make a lift or move a load if anyone is in a location where they could be struck by the crane or the load.
If the crane operator is being helped, the crane should not be moved until the help er signals they are clear of the

crane and its load.
When a load is hanging from the crane hook and the crane is being moved, the crane operator should sound all

warning devices frequently.
Loads should not be carried over workers heads. If a worker is in the path of crane travel, the crane operator should

stop the crane and clear the area before proceeding.
Runway stops or other cranes should never be bumped into.
When moving the crane, the crane operator should be sure that the hook block and attachments or cables would not

catch on nearby equipment. Slings, chains, or cables should never be dragged along the floor.
Unless required for operator safety, gloves should not be worn when operating the transmitter unit.
All loose materials or parts should be removed from the load before starting the lift.
The crane operator should always hoist lifts high enough to clear all equipment and workers.
The crane operator should never permit anyone to ride on the load or hook except when authorized by the

supervisor.
When another crane on the same runway is stationary with a load hanging, the crane operator should maintain a safe

distance between the stationary crane and the one under their control.
Never leave suspended loads unattended. In an emergency, if the crane is inoperative and a load suspended, notify

the supervisor immediately, barricade and post signs on the floor beneath crane and load.
If power to the crane is removed, the crane operator should turn the transmitter unit OFF and keep it OFF until

power is restored.
If the crane fails to respond properly, the crane operator should stop operation, turn the transmitter unit OFF and

immediately report the condition to their supervisor.

8

Section 2 – Radio Controlled Safety (Continued)

Outdoor cranes, which are subject to movement by wind, should be securely anchored when left unattended. If the
crane is equipped with bridge brakes, the parkin g brake should be set immediately.

2-9. Boarding The Crane.

The crane should not be boarded without permissio n of the supervisor.
The crane operator sho uld turn off the transmitter and take it with them when boarding the crane.
If more than one person is boarding the crane, one person shou ld be made responsible for ensuring all personnel ar e

off the crane before the system is returned to operation.

2-10. Crane Maintenance And Repair.

Qualified personnel must maintain a regularly, i.e., such as monthly, scheduled crane inspection. During this crane
inspection the functionality and safety of the crane remote control must also be tested. The inspection shall include,
but be not limited to items listed in Section 2-13. Condition Of The Radio Controlled Crane. Consult crane
manufacturer, local and governmental regulations for recommended inspection intervals and proper inspection
procedures. Problems noted during this inspection must be repaired before using the crane or the remote control.

Minor repairs include routine maintenance and repairs such as greasing, cleaning and control troubleshooting. All
other repairs should be considered major. If the repair crew consists of more than one person, one person should be
designated as the repair crew leader with the following responsibilities. If the repair crew consists of only on e per­son, that person has the following responsibilities:

For minor repairs, warning signs should be placed on the floor beneath the crane or suspended from the crane. For
major repairs, the floor area below the crane should be roped off.

When major repairs are to take place, all persons operating other cranes on the same or adjacent runways, if any,
must be notified prior to starting repairs. Notification should include the nature of the repair, safeguards provided,
and movement limitations while repairs are in progress.

When practical, radio controlled cranes which cannot be moved during repairs must be protected against being
bumped by other cranes on the runway. Bumpers should be installed on the exposed side or sides of the crane under
repair. They should be placed as far away as possible. The location of these bumpers should be indicated by red
lights placed so that they are clearly visible to other crane operators traveling on the same runway. When it is not
possible to use bumpers, red lights must be placed so they are clearly visible to other crane operators traveling on the
same runway to indicate the restricted travel zone. All crane operators on the same runway must be informed of the
repair effort and thoroughly instructed to what their operations are limited to and info rmed they will be notified
when repairs are completed.

If any hazard involving the repairmen exists when there is a runway adjacent to the crane under repair, the adjacent
runway should be blocked off as described above. When it is necessary to continue crane operation on the adjacent
runways warning lights must be installed and be visible to operators of cranes on those runways. All cranes should
come to a complete stop prior to entering the restricted area and should proceed through this area only after
receiving permission from a signal person designated for this purpose. Access of persons to and from the crane
being repaired should be under control of the re pai r crew leader.

When boarding the crane, the transmitter should be turned OFF and the transmitter should remain with the repair
crew leader. The leader should board the crane first, open and lock ou t the main switch, and then signal the other
members of the crew it is safe to board the crane.

If work on the crane is to be done in areas not protected by standard handrails, the repair crew should wear approved
safety belts.

All tools and equipment should be moved onto the crane by the use of hand lines. The tools and equipment should
be adequately secured to the hand lines.

9

Section 2 – Radio Controlled Safety (Continued)

If it is necessary to have the crane control circuits energized, all power circuits for crane movement must be opened
prior to energizing the control circuits.

All personnel and tools should be moved to a safe spot before moving the crane during repairs.
Headroom is at a minimum in some crane cabs and on some crane walkways. Caution should be exercised when

boarding or working on cranes. Hard hat s s h ould be worn whenever possible.
When repairs are finished, all personnel, tools and repair equipment should be removed before energizing the crane

circuits.

2-11. Using The Crane As A Work Platform.

When the crane is to be used as a stationary work platform, follow all rules provided in Section 2-10. Crane
Maintenance and Repair. When it is necessary for the crane to be moved from time to time, the crane operator
should board the crane with the transmitter unit. The crane operator shou ld ensure all personnel working on the
crane are in a secure position before moving the crane to the next workstation. It should also be the crane operators’
responsibility to ensure the main switch is open and locked down before work is resumed.

WARNING

THE CRANE OPERATOR SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR ANY OF THE ITEMS STATED BELOW.
THE CRANE CONDITION SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE SUPERVISOR. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS
WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.

2-12. Condition Of The Radio Controlled Crane.

If the crane fails to respond properly, the crane operator(s) should notify their supervisor. When serious conditions
are noticed (conditions that make the crane unsafe to operate), the crane should be shut d own immediately and the
supervisor notified. The following is a list of some of the items that should be included in the report (see the crane
manufacturer for specifics and possible additional items):

Section 3 – General System Information

3-1. General System Information.

The Telemotive Radio Control System (system) provides remote control of overhead cranes using radio signals. The
system consists of a hand held portable battery operated transmitter unit and a fixed station receiver unit.

A unique 16-bit code (Access Code) for each system is preset in every transmitter and receiver. The receiver
considers any received signal which does not match the receiver access code setting invalid. The Access Code is
made up of 16-bits (65,000 combinations) and no two similar codes are assigned to any two Telemotive systems.

Up to four systems may be used with the same frequency in a 600-foot area (220 meters). Each transmitter operating
on the same frequency may be operated in close proximity, not less than six feet (1.9 meters), to each other.

3-2. TMS Low Power Signaling.

TMS (Time Multiplexed Signaling) is a Telemotive proprietary high-speed packet data system. The system software
is structured to minimize "on the air" transmission time of any transmitter. This allows for multiple transmitters to
share a common frequency. The TMS system is designed so that a transmitter will send a signal for a pr edetermined
ON time, and then will turn OFF. The length of transmitter ON time is referred to as data burst or packet. The packet
length is a function of the quantity of data to be sent, and the data rate (baud). Once the packet is sent, the
transmitter will turn OFF. This allows for other transmitters to time-share the same frequency when a transmitter has
turned OFF. The TMS system software determines the OFF period and repetition rate of the ON period. Since each
system has its own access code, up to 4 transmitters can share and have equal access to the same frequency. TMS
also allows for reduced battery consumption and extended battery life.

These systems have low power pulsed signaling, FCC certified under Part 15 Telecommunications Code of
Regulations, no license is required. The transmitter unit is frequency modulated, low power and is certified under
the appropriate regulations. A license is not required for the transmitter or operator. Modifications to the RF section
of this system are not permitted and could void FCC certification.

Section 4 – Installation Procedure

4-1. Pre-Installation Considerations.

To ensure reliable and safe operation of the system, the following items must be considered before
installing the receiver unit.

WARNING

THE RECEIVER UNIT OR RELAYS ARE NOT RATED AS EXPLOSION PROOF. THE RECEIVER
UNIT MUST NOT BE INSTALLED IN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS UNLESS APPROPRIATE
SECONDARY ENCLOSURE MEASURES ARE TAKEN. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.

4-2. Receiver Unit Mounting Location Considerations.

Ensure the mounting location is as far as possible from exposed trolley wires and sources of
electromagnetic or radiated noise

The receiver cabinet is approximately 8" (20 cm) wide by 12" (30 cm) high. A depth of at least 6" (15 cm)
must be provided to allow the cabinet door to open.

The mounting surface must be smooth and continuous. Mounting the cabinet on uneven surfaces could
cause warpage or stress internal components.

The receiver unit may be mounted in any position. Greatest radio control range is obtained when the
receiver unit is mounted with the antenna at the top.

If possible, avoid installing receiver unit to a surface where high vibration or shock is present. If this cannot
be avoided, use appropriate shock mounts.

4-3. Antenna Mounting Considerations.

The antenna is internal and requires no additional mounting. The antenna is at the top of the receiver
cabinet and should not be placed near large metal objects that could be close to or cover the top of the box.
Allow at least six inches above the top of the box for clearance.

4-4. Line Input Considerations.

WARNING

THE UNIT MUST BE WIRED TO THE CORRECT VOLTAGE, AND BE CONNECTED TO THE
CORRECT TERMINAL AS REQUIRED BY THE ACTUAL LINE VOLTAGE. FAILURE FOLLOW
THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT.

The receiver unit has direct connect provisions for operation from 120 (nominal), 50-60 Hz power.
For applications where line voltage deviation exceeds 20% of nominal values if line voltage is not between

95-130 VAC or 190-260 VAC or if 440 VAC p ower is used, a step up or step down transformer must be
used.

15

Section 4 – Installation Procedure (Continued)

NOTE

THE RECEIVER UNIT SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED TO LINES CONTAINING EXCESSIVE
POWER UP TRANSIENTS OR CONTINUOUS COMMUTATOR NOISE. A LINE CONDITIONER
MAY BE NECESSARY IN SOME INSTALLATIONS.

4-5. Wiring Considerations.

1. Read this manual before installation.

2. Please observe appropriate local and National Electrical Codes when wiring electrical devices.

3. Do not connect or disconnect wiring, or perform circuit checks while the power is turned on.

4. The motor wiring should be in a separate metal conduit from the power wiring, which should also be
in metal conduit.

5. Low voltage wires shall be wired with proper low voltage class wiring procedures.

6. Control wiring as well as antenna wiring shall be in separate conduit and shall be kept as short as
possible.

7. All terminals shall be tightened to specified terminal torque 4.4 IN-LBS (.5 N·m), unless otherwise
specified.

8. Remove excess metal screws, metal filings and wire clippings from inside of unit.

9. Inspect to make sure no exposed wire has contact with any other wiring or terminals.

10. Suppressors are strongly recommended on all contactors.

4-6. Receiver/Equipment Interface Considerations.

All output relay contacts are rated at 16 amps 250 VAC; however, the system rating for the contacts is 5
Amps. Connection to equipment or contactors with higher voltage or current requirements will require
intermediate relays.

All relay outputs are normally open, momentary contact. Since a relay closure is only active while the
transmitter unit key is pressed and held, devices such as lights or lifting magnet must use a mechanical
auxiliary latching relay.

NOTE

FOR INFORMATION ON INTERFACING WITH SYSTEMS WITH HIGH IMPEDANCE INPUTS SEE
SECTION 6-8. CONNECTING OUTPUTS TO DRIVES OR CONTACT TELEMOTIVE.

4-7. Receiver Unit Cabinet Mounting.

Mounting brackets are provided. See Figure 4-2. Receiver Mounting Details. Allow room in mounting the
receiver for the door to swing open

Mount receiver unit cabinet securely to mounting surface. Actual cabinet mounting dimensions are shown
on Figure 4-2. Receiver Mounting Details.

4-8. Receiver Installation.

1. Normally it should not be necessary to set the access codes, as they are preset. Program the unit for any

special crane configurations or other parameters; if desired, see Section 7. Programming for details.

16

Section 4 – Installation Procedure (Continued)

2. Position the receiver. Locate as far as possible from exposed trolley wire and sources of

electromagnetic or radiated noise. Cabinet mounting dimensions and mounting template is on next
page (see Figure 4-2A and B. Receiver Mounting Details). Antenna at top of unit should be kept as
clear as possible of any metal object.

3. Mount the receiver. Mounting brackets are provided to accommodate mounting on to a metal strut

mounting system. The four deep mounting holes in corners of the receiver mounting brackets use
quantity four #10-24 combo drive round head screws 1 ½ “ in length, four #10 lock washers and four
#10-24 hex nuts to mount to the mounting brackets. Lock washers should be used in front of hex nuts.
Four flat washers, .400 I.D. x 1 ½” O.D., are supplied with use for mounting the mounting brackets to
a metal strut.

4. Wire the unit using the appropriate electrical drawings for the specific transmitter and crane orientation

selected (see Section 6. Wiring). For the Membrane or Pendant transmitter, determine crane
orientation; if the direction pair labeled on the transmitter better describes the equipment movement,
use this pair to wire the motor directionals respectively. If you need to remove the main board (4
screws) the antenna unplugs from the RF Receiver, be sure to dress the an tenna cable under the hook
on the RF Receiver when reinstalling the antenna cable.

5. Wire the power to J1 input power connector. The connections are Ground (GND), Neutral (N) and 120

VAC 50-60 Hz (120V).

6. Wiring of the system should now be complete.

See Figure 4-1. Input Power Connections.

7. Stand clear of the crane and apply AC power to receiver unit. Turn switch SW2 OFF (MR relay

control) and SW1 ON (main power switch). Check to see if four LEDs are lit: three green (DS22,
DS23 and DS24) and one red (RF Receiver ON). If none are lit check AC power, power switch SW1
and fuse.

8. Turn transmitter ON. Check to see if the yellow LED is now lit (DSMR1). At this point the MR relay

is disabled; the functions of the transmitter can be checked by noting the turn ing ON of the appropriate
red LEDs next to the control relays (DS7 to DS11). After checking out the functions, turn switch SW2
ON to enable the MR relay; check function and direction by jogging each motion. Installation should
now be complete.

9. If there are any problems, see Section 9. Servicing.

telePilot Low Battery Shutoff Function.

If the battery gets too low the unit will shut off and send an OFF command to the receiver as it turns OFF.

telePilot Self-Test Function.

If any function key is depressed when the unit turns on the unit will fault, n ot send a turn on command, and
not become operational. The red LED will stay ON till the unit is turned OFF. The unit will frequently scan

nd

the 2

position of the motion switches while the transmitter is ON and if one of th ese is closed without the

first position closed, the unit will fault as above.

telePilot Red LED ON/OFF Indicator.

This red LED, at the upper most left hand side of the transmitter, operates as follows:

 Be OFF when the transmitter is OFF.
 Flash slowly when the transmitter is ON, but not transmitting. If the transmitter has Bank select

enabled the there will be a number of quick flashes followed by a pause. The number of quick
flashes indicates the Bank the transmitter is in.

 Flash rapidly when the transmitter is transmitting, including during E-STOP when the transmitter

is OFF.

 Remain ON continuously for: waiting password, un-programmed Bank selected, or a logic or

pushbutton fault.

telePilot Battery Yellow Indicator Light.

The yellow LED to the right of the ON/OFF indicator operates as follows:

 Be OFF when the transmitter is OFF.
 Be OFF when the transmitter is ON and the battery is good.
 Remain ON continuously for a low battery needing replacement.

telePilot Bank Select (Normally Password Protected).

This feature is like having four completely different transmitters in one unit. Up to four banks (operational
configurations) are possible. A Bank is a specific configuration of user-defined parameters including:

the password is entered. Once the password is entered (see below) the transmitter red LED ON/OFF
indicator flashes indicating the current Bank the operator is in while the transmitter is ON and not
transmitting. One flash then a pause repeatedly indicates Bank 1, two quick flashes indicates Bank 2, three
quick flashes and a pause indicates Bank 3 and so on. The transmitter will remember what Bank it is in
even if turned OFF and ON again.

24 11/11/2014

Section 5 – Operation (Continued)

It is not necessary to program all four Banks, if an un-programmed or turned “off” Bank is selected the
ON/OFF indicator will remain ON continuously, the transmitter will send no commands and will turn
itself off shortly.

telePilot Bank Password Protection Function.

This enables the owner to create a four-stroke password word to enable changing Banks. With Password
enabled the operator selects a four-button sequence to enable a Bank after different Bank has been selected
(see above). When the transmitter is turned ON, after Bank Selection is made and the ON/OFF indicator
will remain lit until the correct password sequence is entered with in five seconds. An incorrect password
sequence or failure to enter the sequence in time shuts the unit OFF. The user is allowed to restart and try
again an unlimited amount of times. The Bank Password is the same for all Banks.

Section 6 – Wiring

6-1. Wiring Diagrams.

Your TELEPILOT system comes pre-programmed the following pages in this section have individual
wiring diagrams for different crane configurations. Find the appropriate wiring diagram and if necessary set
the Configuration Switch (SW3 in the transmitter) to match the SW3 Tran smitter Switch Settings shown in
the appropriate diagram. The location of the SW3 for Membrane and Pendant transmitters is shown in
Section 8-1. Servicing. Terminal designators are marked on the wiring diagram corresponding to
designators found on the Receiver Board. For terminal locations see Figure 9-1. Receiver Layout.

After selecting the appropriate motors for each function remember to use the appropriate label on your
telePilot transmitter for describing the appropriate command.

For the Pendant and Membrane transmitters the proper connections to use for the bridge and for the trolley
are best determined by that pair of directional designators (North/South or East/West) best describes the
crane’s movement. Does the bridge travel East/West or North/South? The trolley would use the other
directional pair as the bridge. Care should be taken after a directional pair is selected to make sure the
specific motor directional inputs match the desired direction of the bridge or trolley, i.e., if North/South is
picked for the bridge make sure the South traveling bridge motor directional is wired to the Sou th terminal
of the unit.

Typically in the following wiring diagrams, the bridge is shown as Motor 3 and Trolley as Motor 2. Since
the labeling cannot be easily moved on the Membrane Transmitter keypad, the two directional pairs Motor
2 and 3 can be easily exchanged by turning the dip switch SW3 position 1 in the Membrane Transmitter to
“ON”. See Section 7-6.8. Repositioning of Membrane Transmitter Motion Switch Functions for more
details.

6-2. Installation.

Follow Section 4. Installation Information for instructions on how to install the receiver.

6-3. Alarms And Horns.

Make sure that the installation includes the proper alarms, horns, indicator lights and their associated
controls as required by local and governmental regulations.

6-4. Single-Speed Pendant Transmitter Wiring.

For the Single-Speed Pendant Transmitter the only wiring configuration is the diagram in Section 6.
Wiring. Table 1, TR12 Single-Speed Standard Configuration Hoist, Trolley and Bridge.

6-5. 2-Speed Pendant Transmitter Wiring.

For the 2-Speed TR12 Pendant Transmitter the functional labeling is different than the 2-Sp eed Membrane.
E/W and N/S are exchanged. By setting dip switch SW3 position 1 in the “ON” position the pushbuttons of
the Pendant Transmitter match the directional notations on the 2-speed wiring diagrams in Section 6.
Wiring. Failure to turn switch SW3 position 1 to “ON” will cause EAST/WEST and NORTH/SOUTH to
be exchanged respectively. All other functions will remain the same.

6-6. Relay Sequencing.

When the second speed position is activated the appropriate directional relay is still engaged.
