Introduction The FLEX radio remote control systems are designed for control of industrial equipment and machinery such as overhead traveling cranes, jib cranes, gantry cranes, tower cranes, electric hoists, winches, monorails, conveyor belts, mining equipment and other material handling equipment where wireless control is preferred. Each FLEX system consists of a transmitter handset and receiver unit. Other standard-equipped accessories include transmitter waist belt, spare transmitter power key, clear vinyl pouch, AA alkaline batteries, compass direction decal sheet and users manual. List of notable features include:

*

62 user-programmable channels Advanced synthesized RF controls with 62 built-in channels, no more fixed channel and fragile quartz crystals to break.

* Automatic channel scanning receiver No more hassle of climbing up the crane to change receiver channels.

* Over one million unique ID codes (20bit) Each and every Flex system has its own unique ID codes and serial number, never repeats.

* Advanced controls The Flex system utilizes advanced microprocessor controls with 32bit CRC and Hamming Code, which provide ultra fast, safe, precise, and error-free encoding and decoding.

* Unique I-CHIP design The I-CHIP functions in a way that is very similar to SIM card used on mobile phones, with the ability to transfer system information and settings from one transmitter to another without the hassle of resetting the spares.

*

Reliable push buttons The in-house designed push buttons with gold-plated contacts are rated for more than one million press cycles.

*

Low power consumption Requires only two AA Alkaline batteries for more than 150 hours of operating time between replacements.

* Ultra-durable nylon and fiberglass composite enclosures Highly resistance to breakage and deformation even in the most abusive environments.

*

Full compliance All systems are fully complied with the FCC Part-15 Rules, European Directives

(Safety, EMC, R&TTE, Machinery) and Industry Canada Specifications (IC). Page 3 2. Radio Controlled Safety Flex radio remote control system should be operated by persons with sufficient amount of knowledge and skill in crane operation and safety. Persons being trained to operate a radio remote controlled crane should possess the knowledge of all hazards peculiar to radio remote controlled crane operation, ability to judge distance and moving objects, equipment capacity and radio remote controlled safety rules. Radio remote controlled cranes should not be operated by any person with insufficient eyesight, hearing, illness, and under influence of drugs and medications that may cause loss of crane control. Below are some general operating safety tips that should be strictly followed when operating a radio remote controlled crane. 1. Prior to crane operation always check the transmitter handset for any damage that might inhibit proper crane operation. 2. Always check if the red emergency stop button is working properly prior to crane operation. 3. 4. 5. Check the Status LED on the transmitter for any signs of low battery power (refer to page 37). Check the Status LED on the transmitter for any signs of irregularities (refer to page 37). The crane limit switches should be checked prior to crane operation or at the beginning of each shift. When checking limit switches the hoist should be centered over an area free of personnel and equipment. If the power to the crane is removed, the operator should turn off the transmitter power immediately until the power to the crane is restored. If the crane fails to respond properly to operators command the operator should stop operation, turn the transmitter power off, and then report the condition to their supervisor. The transmitter power should be turned off after each use. If the transmitter handset is not in use always turn the power off and stored it in a safe or designated location. Never leave the transmitter handset unattended in the working area. 6. 7. 8. 9. Make sure the system is not set to the same channel as any other Flex systems in use within a distance of 300 meters (900 feet). 10. Never operate a crane or equipment with two transmitter handsets at the same time unless they are programmed with Pitch & Catch function. For information on the Pitch & Catch feature, please refer to page 25 and page 36 of this manual. CAUTION RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS PLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. Page 4 3. General System Information A. TRANSMITTER HANDSET 1. External Illustration (Standard Push Button Configuration) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Channel Change via Push Buttons Other than CHANNEL dip-switch on the encoder board, the transmitter channel can also be changed directly on the push buttons. Please refer to the instruction below on how to change transmitter channel via push buttons. a. Press and hold PB1, PB2 and PB3 and rotate the power key to START position at the same time. A series of green and red blinks will appear on the Status LED showing the current channel setting. A green blink represents the tens (+10) and a red blink represents the units (+1). Examples: 2 green blinks followed by 5 red blinks represents channel 25. 6 red blinks represents channel 06.

+

b. Select new channel by pressing PB1 and PB2 on the transmitter. Press PB1 to increment the units

(+1) and PB2 to increment the tens (+10). c. When finished, the newly selected channel will appear on the Status LED via series of green and Examples: Press PB2 two times and then PB1 four times will give you channel 24. Press PB1 nine times with give you channel 09. red blinks again. Exit the channel programming by turning off the transmitter power. d. e. Make sure the receiver channel is set identical to the transmitter. Please refer to page 21 and page f. g. 36 on how to change receiver channel. Please note that when the CHANNEL dip-switch inside the transmitter is changed, the priority will revert back to the new channel set on the CHANNEL dip-switch. Please note that when channel is set beyond channel 62 via PB1 and PB2 (i.e. channel 63, 68, 88, etc), the system will recognize it as channel 62. Page 18 4. Program 4-digit Security Code Prior to rotating the transmitter power key-switch to START position to begin operation, you must first enter a 4-digit security code in order to proceed further. When this 4-digit security code is input correctly after turning on the transmitter power, a green light will appear on the Status LED... proceed to START activation. If this 4-digit security code is input incorrectly, an orange light will appear on the Status LED system locked. If this occurs, then you must reset the e-stop button and input the correct 4-digit code. Please refer to the instruction below on how to program the 4-digit security code. a. Press and hold PB1, PB2, PB3 and PB4 and rotate the power key to START position at the same time.

+

b. A constant orange light will appear on the Status LED telling you that you are in the security code c. d. e. programming mode. For newly purchased system with the security code function deactivated (default setting), press PB1 four times (1111) to activate the security code function. At this time the Status LED on the transmitter will blink orange slowly telling you that the 4 digits entered is correct. Then select your own 4-digit security code by pressing PB1, PB2, PB3 or PB4 on the transmitter (four presses randomly). At this time a fast orange blinks is displayed on the Status LED telling you to reconfirm the 4-digit security code you have just entered. A green light will appear once you have re-entered the same 4-digit security code again (programming completed). If red light is shown on the Status LED after you have re-entered the security code (incorrect input), then you must reset the transmitter power and then repeat step a, b and c again. Steps: Press and hold PB1~PB4 and rotate power key to START position constant orange press PB1 four times (for new systems) or 4-digit security code slow orange blinks enter the new 4-digit security code fast orange blinks re-enter the same 4-didgit security code again green light. If you wish to cancel the security code function, then repeat a, b, c above and press PB1 four times as your new security code (security code function disabled). If you do not remember the 4-digit security code, then you must contact your dealer or distributor for further assistance. Page 19 5. I-Chip I-CHIP functioned in a way that is very similar to a SIM card inside a mobile phone, which stores information such as your phone number, account number, phone book and other settings. I-CHIP works exactly the same way, as it stores information such as system serial number/ID code, channel and push button configurations. When replacing a transmitter handset, just take the I-CHIP out of the old transmitter and install it into the new one (refer to Fig. 11 below). The new transmitter handset will then operate according to the information stored in the I-CHIP unless the settings on both Channel and Function dip-switch are changed thereafter. Basically the microprocessor will operate according to the last setting change either on I-CHIP or the dip-switches. For safety purposes, system serial number/ID code stored inside the I-CHIP can not be changed directly on the transmitter encoder board. Only channels and push button configurations can be changed directly on the encoder board via Channel and Function dip-switches. There are only two ways that you can change transmitter serial number/ID code; 1) via I-CHIP programming port located on the decoder module inside the receiver unit, please refer to page 29 on how to program the I-CHIP (serial number/ID code) via receiver unit; 2) via an external I-CHIP programmer or duplicator unit available from the factory. Please ask your local dealers for assistance if your system requires serial number/ID code adjustments.

(Fig. 12) EXT INT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Even though Flex system is equipped with automatic channel scanning receiver, the user can also set the receiver channel manually. Please refer to page 36 on how automatic channel scanning receiver works. Set the receiver channel by adjusting the channel dip-switch located on the receiver module (refer to Fig. 12 above), only the first six (6) positions are used for channel programming (refer to Fig. 13 below). The system channels table located on page 30 illustrates which dip-switch setting corresponds to which channel. Once the receiver channel is altered do make sure to change transmitter channel as well. The channel on both transmitter and receiver must be identical in order for system to work. To change transmitter channel please refer to page 9. Example:

ON/OFF Push Button Function The user can set any of the two adjacent push buttons on the transmitter to behave like a mechanical ON & OFF rocker switch (refer to page 26 on how to set to this function). When On output relay is closed (On push button pressed), the Off output relay will open automatically, or vise versa. OFF ON Page 23 d. Magnet ON/OFF Push Button Function The user can set any of the two adjacent push buttons on the transmitter to control a magnet. To activate the magnet just press the push button with the Magnet symbol. To deactivate the magnet, for safety purpose, you must first press and hold the Magnet push button and then press the OFF push button. Press the OFF push button by itself can not deactivate the magnet (refer to page 26 on how to set to this function). OFF e. Brake Function When the transmitter push button is released from 2nd speed up to 1st speed, both 1st and 2nd speed output relays will open for up to 1.0 second and then with 1st speed output relay closed thereafter (refer to page 26 on how to set to this function). f. External Warning Function The user can install an external warning device (rotating lights, horn, etc) to a special Function output relay located inside the receiver. The user can choose which push button pairs or crane motions he desired to have external warnings when push button is pressed (refer to page 26 on how to set to this function). g. Momentary Contact When push button is released the output relay corresponds to that push button will open (refer to page 27 on how to set to this function). This type of contact is usually applies to external application such as horns or buzzers. h. Toggled Contact When push button is released the output relay corresponds to that push button will remained closed (maintained contact) until next time the user presses the same push button again (refer to page 27 on how to set to this function). This type of contact is usually applies to external application such as lights. i. 3rd Speed Push Button Function This function allows the crane to travel an additional step beyond 2nd speed. For example, if the operator is pressing the UP push button down to 2nd speed, pressing the 3rd speed push button

(with UP push button still hold at 2nd speed) will toggle between 2nd speed and 3rd speed (refer to page 27 on how to set to this function). 3rd SPEED Page 24 j. Auxiliary STOP Push Button Function (JP3 must be inserted) The auxiliary STOP function acts as a 2nd emergency stop button. Other than by emergency stop button and transmitter power key switch, the receiver MAIN is also deactivated when this auxiliary stop push button is pressed (refer to page 27 on how to set to this function). k. Pitch & Catch Function Aux STOP This function allows two operators controlling one crane from opposite ends of a cross or long travel (refer to page 27 on how to set to this function). When set to Pitch & Catch make sure the 2nd transmitter is set to the next upper channel (channel X*+1). For example, if the system is preset at Ch.01 then the channel of the 2nd transmitter should be set to Ch.02. Furthermore, the dip-switch position #7 and #8 on the receiving module should be set to 10, this will allow the receiver to scan only Ch.01 and Ch.02 (please refer to the illustration below). On the other hand, since there are only 62 available channels on the Flex system, the system preset at channel 62 is ineffective because the 2nd transmitter can not be set to Ch.63. If your system is preset at Ch.62 do make sure to change it to another channel. 3. Receiver Auto-Scanning Settings Receiver Channel Dip-switch

Page 25 4. Dip-Switch Settings a. Interlocked Functions Interlocked means the two adjacent push buttons can not be activated simultaneously at the same time as it will cancel each other out. Interlocked settings are usually applied to cranes forward and reverse motions. Each dip-switch on the decoder module corresponds to one (1) motion or two (2) adjacent push buttons (refer to Fig. 14 & 15 below). Only the first 7 dip-switch positions are used

(counting from left to right), the 8th dip-switch position (far right) is not used.

Non-Interlocked Functions Contrary to interlocked settings, non-interlocked settings allow the two adjacent push buttons be used simultaneously at the same time. Non-interlocked settings are usually applied to cranes auxiliary functions such as lights, horn, 3rd speed, auxiliary stop and Pitch & Catch. Each dip-switch on the decoder module corresponds to one (1) motion or two (2) adjacent push buttons (left & right push buttons). Function Code Dip Position Setting Dip Position Setting

(Fig. 17) I-CHIP programming port located on the decoder module (refer to Fig. 17 above) inside the receiver is designed for the purpose of transferring system serial number/ID code either from I-CHIP to receiver or from receiver to I-CHIP. If you wish to transfer system information from receiver to I-CHIP, just insert the I-CHIP onto the programming port (JP6 jumper not inserted), wait until the Status LED on the decoder module turned constant green (within 2 seconds), and then take the I-CHIP out of the programming port (programming completed). At this time the I-CHIP should also possess the same serial number/ID code as the receiver. If the Status LED on the decoder module displayed a constant red light after inserting the I-CHIP (programming failed), then you must reinsert the I-CHIP one more time. On the other hand, if you wish to transfer system information from I-CHIP to receiver, then you must first insert JP6 jumper prior to inserting the I-CHIP, then wait for the green light to appear on the Status LED. At this time the receiver should also possess the same system information as the I-CHIP. Please note that the receiver unit must be powered in order to proceed with the programming. 7.

Make sure the transmitter and receiver are with identical serial number/ID code and channel. 2. Make sure the receiver is not set to the same channel as any other systems in use in the 3. Make sure that the crane or equipment is working properly prior to installation. 4. Make sure the power source to the receiver is set correctly. 5. Switch off the main power source to the crane or equipment prior to installation. C. STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION

(Fig. 19) Page 32 1. For best reception the location of the receiver should be visible to the operator at all time. 2. The location selected should not be exposed to high levels of electric noise. Mounting the receiver next to an unshielded variable frequency drive may cause minor interference. Always locate the receiver as far away from variable frequency drive as possible. 3. Ensure the selected location has adequate space to accommodate the receiver

(refer to Fig. 19 on page 32). If an external antenna is used, to avoid the possibility of antenna damage always locate the receiver where the antenna is free from any obstacles from all directions (refer to diagram at right). 432 mm 4. When installing an external antenna you must connect the SMA jack located inside the receiver and make sure to set the jumper to EXT position (refer Control Panel to diagram below). 5. For better reception, make sure the receiver is in an upright position. 6. Drill two holes (10mm in diameter) on the control panel or location where the receiver is to be installed

(refer to Fig. 19 on page 32). 7. Make sure the two bolts are tightened after installation. 8. For system wiring please refer to page 31. D. SYSTEM TESTING 1. Turn on the power source to the receiver and test the MAIN relay output by pressing the red emergency stop button and observe that it properly opens and closes the mainline disconnect contactor. 2. Test the operation of each function to ensure it corresponds to the transmitter direction labels or the pendent it is replacing. Test the limit switches (if any) to see if they are working properly. If your new remote control is replacing an existing pendant, make sure it is completely disconnected and placed in a safe location to prevent unwanted control command. Page 33 3. 4. 7. Operating Procedure A. TRANSMITTER OPERATION 1. General Operating Procedure Reset the red emergency stop button located on the top left hand side of the transmitter handset by rotating it either clockwise or counter clockwise, the red button will pop up. a. b. Turn on the transmitter power by inserting the black-colored key into the power key slot located on the top right hand side of the transmitter handset and rotate it clockwise to On position. c. d. After turning the transmitter power on, check the Status LED on the transmitter handset for any sign of system irregularities (refer to Status Light Indicators & Warnings on page 37). If the system is normal the Status LED will light up green for two (2) seconds. If there are no signs of any system irregularities, then rotate the power key-switch further to START position for up to 1.0 second to activate all transmitter push button functions and as well as the receiver MAIN. Then press any push button on the transmitter to begin operation. Pressing any push button prior to initiating the START command will result in no signal transmitted (blinking orange light). Page 34 e. In case of an emergency, press down the red emergency stop button will immediately disconnect the receiver MAIN and as well as the transmitter power. To resume operation, rotate the red button clockwise or counter-clockwise, it will pop up. Then rotate the power key-switch to START position for up to 1.0 second to activate all transmitter push button functions and the receiver MAIN. Please note that every time when you turn the transmitter power off and back on again or after resetting the emergency stop button, all push button functions will be locked to avoid any unintentional controls. For safety, initiating the START command after turning on the transmitter power or after resetting the emergency stop button is strictly required. The receiver MAIN will also be disconnected temporarily when the receiver encounters strong radio interference or when the operator is controlling the crane or equipment beyond the transmitting range. f. Turn off the transmitter power by rotating the power key counter-clockwise to Off position; it will disconnect the transmitter power and the receiver MAIN altogether. Turn it further counter-clockwise to release the key. WARNING Keep away interference source to make sure performance integrate.. 2. A/B Selector Push Button Operating Procedure Pressing the Select A/B push button will toggle between output relay A, B, A+B respectively. There are 4 different types of Select A/B sequence available, please refer to page 11~13 for instructions on how to set Select A/B functions. 3. 3rd Speed Push Button Operating Procedure A B When a push button is hold at 2nd speed, pressing the 3rd Speed push button one time will activate the 3rd speed output relay (toggled). If the operator wants 2nd speed again, just press the 3rd Speed push button one more time. 3rd SPEED Page 35 4. Pitch & Catch Operating Procedure To release control of the crane, press the Pitch push button. To take over control of the crane, rotate the power key switch to Catch position for up to 2 seconds. The 2nd operator can not take control of the crane unless the 1st operator presses the Pitch push button (2.0 seconds). If the operator unintentionally presses the Pitch push button during operation, just rotate the power key to Catch position for up to 2 seconds to regain control again. 5. Automatic Channel Scanning Operating Procedure PITCH C A TCH F F O O N PIT C H CATCH C A T C H After changing transmitter channel (refer to page 9), turn on the transmitter power and rotate the power key switch to Start position and hold it there for up to 1.0 minute. Within this 1-minute period the receiver will search (channel 01 ~ channel 62) and lock onto the newly selected transmitter channel automatically. Please note that in order for the receiver to switch to auto-scanning mode, prior to changing the transmitter channel, you must first deactivate the receiver MAIN by shutting off the transmitter power or press down the emergency stop button. Please refer to page 25 if you do not want the receiver to auto-scan all 62 channels. Change Transmitter Channel 6.
