LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 19 Radio Remote Control features 4 Dynamic+P series' Radio Remote Controls are used to control Machines from a distance, without physical connection (by way of example: wires or connecting cables) between the Transmitting Unit handled by the User and the Receiving Unit installed on the Machine, hence between the User and the Machine. They usually consist of a portable Transmitting Unit, from which the User can remotely control a Machine, and a Receiving Unit installed on board the Machine itself. Images of the single Units belonging to the Radio Remote Control can be found in the specific manual that refers to each Unit. The relation between the commands sent by the Transmitting Unit and those available in the Receiving Unit is decided by the Installer of the Radio Remote Control on the Machine. Description of radio link 4.1 The Transmitting Unit communicates with the Receiving Unit through a radio link. Such link must be continuous to promote safety in the use of the Machine. Every time this link is incorrect or interrupted, the Receiving Unit stops the commands and orders the Machine to stop. The Machine stops only if the wiring between the Receiving Unit and the Machine itself is correct. The Units in a Radio Remote Control code their messages through an address that is unique
(produced by Autec only once and non repeatable for other Radio Remote Controls) and univocal
(specific for each Radio Remote Control and associated to it). Each Unit can only decode messages coming from the Unit with the same address. This prevents messages from other radio equipment from activating any "Machine+Radio Remote Control" system function. The radio link is interrupted in the following cases:
- Stop (see paragraph 4.2.2)
- Low battery
- Automatic switch off
- No power supply in the Receiving Unit
- Working range exceeded (see paragraph 4.3)
- Presence of metal obstructions. AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 20 WARNING: The maximum working range may vary significantly and unpredictably when special conditions occur in the working environment (by way of example: temporary presence of electromagnetic interference and/or metal obstructions). When a radio link is interrupted:
- All outputs of the Receiving Unit are disabled
- It is not possible to enable or disable the Machine commands through the Transmitting Unit until the Radio Remote Control is started up again. By pressing the START pushbutton after an intervention of the automatic stop function (passive stop, see paragraph 4.2.2), the Radio Remote Control starts and the commands that where active before re-activate immediately, as well as the corresponding functions on the Machine. The Machine's Manufacturer or those who integrate the Radio Remote Control in the Machine must take this Radio Remote Control behaviour into account when carrying out the risk assessment. The Machine Manufacturer or those who integrate the Radio Remote Control on the Machine must inform the User if they believe that the reactivation of such Machine functions may entail hazardous situations that cannot be reduced by reasonable technical measures implemented on the Machine itself. In this case the User must be appropriately trained to follow the procedure provided in paragraph "Radio link interruption"
in "Part C" of the Manual. 4.2 Control devices 4.2.1 Start up and switch off Start up and switch off functions are described in chapter "General instructions for operation"
included in "Part C" of the Instruction Manual. Therefore, please refer to that part of the Manual. 4.2.2 Stop The stop is a safety function that brings the Machine to a safe state every time it is necessary to stop it due to a potentially hazardous situation. LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 21 The stop function may activate:
on the Transmitting Unit.
- Manually (active stop): the User activates the stop function pressing the red STOP pushbutton
- Automatically (passive stop): the Receiving Unit autonomously activates the stop function if the radio link is incorrect or interrupted. THE USER MUST AT ALL TIMES PAY FULL ATTENTION TO THE SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE MACHINE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS PROVIDED IN THIS MANUAL AND WITH THE MANUAL, INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS FOR THE MACHINE AND WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS, EVEN LOCAL. ACTIVATING THE STOP PUSHBUTTON OR RETURNING THE ACTUATORS TO THE REST POSITION MAY NOT RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE STOPPING OF THE MACHINE. THE STOP PUSHBUTTON MAY NOT ACTIVATE A BRAKE. FURTHERMORE, DIFFERENT MACHINES HAVE DIFFERENT RESPONSE TIMES AND STOPPING DISTANCES. WHILE THE STOP FEATURE IS HELPFUL, THE USER MUST BE FULLY AWARE OF THE MOVEMENTS AND OPERATING ZONES OF THE MACHINE AND MUST ALLOW FOR SUFFICIENT SAFE FUNCTIONING OF THE MACHINE, INCLUDING SUCH RESPONSE TIMES AND STOPPING DISTANCES. FAILURE TO DO SO CONTINUOUSLY AND CORRECTLY MAY RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. The stop function by means of Radio Remote Control is available only if the Radio Remote Control is started up (see "Starting up the Radio Remote Control" in the
"Part C" of the Manual). AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 22 Never leave the Transmitting Unit unguarded in order to avoid uncertainty about the availability or unavailability of the stop function. A Transmitting Unit belonging to a "Take & Release" Radio Remote Control is enabled to send the stop command to the Receiving Unit only if it is working with the latter, that is to say, if the start up procedure has been performed (see paragraph "Radio Remote Control Start Up" in "Part C" of the Instruction Manual). Therefore, the Transmitting Units that are not being used cannot send the stop command to the Receiving Unit. Store the unused Transmitting Units in a safe place, to avoid hesitation as far as the availability of the stop function is concerned. The life time, as defined in international standards and requirements, of the stop function is 20 years. In any case, the Radio Remote Control must be replaced within this period. The "life time" must not be considered as a warranty period. After the activation of the STOP pushbutton on the Transmitting Unit, the Machine is not controlled by the Radio Remote Control any more. Any possible risks that may arise from the activation of the stop function must be taken into account by the Installer of the Radio Remote Control, and by the Manufacturer and the Owner of the Machine where the Radio Remote Control is installed. The Radio Remote Control User must be properly trained about this. LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 23 4.2.3 Protection against unintended movements from the standstill position (UMFS) Unintended movements of the Machine, that is Machine movements that are not activated by movements of the actuators, may occur due to electrical or mechanical failure or malfunction that may affect the Radio Remote Control. The Autec Radio Remote Control includes a function that seeks to protect the Machine from such unintended movements by electronically checking the rest position of actuators in the Radio Remote Control. The rest position of the actuators on the Transmitting Unit is the neutral position. When the actuators are in such neutral position, no command from the Transmitting Unit directing a Machine movement is being sent. Each time one of the actuators is moved, the Transmitting Unit sends both the movement command and the SAFETY command through this function. This feature is designed to check whether the actuator is in fact out of the neutral position: if the Radio Remote Control detects that the actuator is in the neutral position, it ignores the command. AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 24 UNINTENDED MOVEMENT MAY RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. FAILURE TO INSTALL AND WIRE THE SAFETY OUTPUTS ON THE RECEIVING UNIT CORRECTLY WILL CAUSE THIS FEATURE TO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY AND WILL INCREASE THE RISK AND OPPORTUNITY FOR UNINTENDED MOVEMENT. MOVEMENT OF THE MACHINE WILL OCCUR WHENEVER THE ACTUATOR IS MOVED FROM ITS NEUTRAL (CENTRAL REST) POSITION ON THE TRANSMITTING UNIT. THIS RADIO REMOTE CONTROL WILL NOT DETECT WHETHER THAT MOVEMENT OF THE ACTUATOR WAS INTENTIONAL OR ACCIDENTAL. INADVERTENT ACTIVATION OF COMMANDS WILL ALSO CAUSE MOVEMENT OF THE MACHINE (SEE PARAGRAPH 7.3). THE FUNCTION DESCRIBED IN THIS PARAGRAPH IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE WHATSOEVER FOR THE PROPER OPERATION, PROTECTION AND USE OF THE TRANSMITTING UNIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL (INCLUDING ALL OF ITS PARTS); THE USER MUST AT ALL TIMES PAY FULL ATTENTION TO THE SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE MACHINE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS PROVIDED IN THIS MANUAL AND IN THE MANUAL FOR THE MACHINE AND WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND STANDARDS, EVEN LOCAL. IN THE EVENT OF AN UNINTENDED MOVEMENT OF THE MACHINE, THE USER MUST NOT RELY ON THIS FEATURE BUT MUST ACTIVATE THE STOP BUTTON TO CEASE ANY MOVEMENT THAT WAS NOT INTENDED AND NOT WITHIN THE CONTINUOUS AND SAFE CONTROL OF THE USER.

The technical data related to the single Units belonging to the Dynamic+P series are provided in the specific parts of the Manual and in their Technical Data Sheets. Identifying the Radio Remote Control 4.4 A serial number (S/N) univocally identifies each Radio Remote Control. The serial number is provided in the identification plate on each Radio Remote Control Unit. This is the only reference to be used for maintenance operations and for any other situation when you need to precisely identify the Radio Remote Control. The serial number must be mentioned in any communication with Autec, its dealers, Installers, Maintenance Technicians of the Radio Remote Control and with the people who, in any capacity, need information, spare parts or technical data concerning the Radio Remote Control. AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 26 Plates must not be removed from their position: removal immediately voids the warranty. Plates must not be altered or damaged, contact Autec for replacement. Additional features of the "Take & Release" Radio Remote Control 4.5 It consists of two Transmitting Units, from which two Users can remotely control a single Machine, and of a Receiving Unit installed on board the Machine itself. The Receiving Unit can be controlled by a single Transmitting Unit independently (of other Transmitting Unit) and exclusively (the Receiving Unit cannot be controlled by both Transmitting Units at the same time), so as to avoid command overlap. The Transmitting Units belonging to a "Take & Release" Radio Remote Control are named TU No.1 and TU No.2. The names of the Transmitting Units belonging to the "Take & Release" Radio Remote Control are provided in the Technical Data Sheet and on the panel of each Transmitting Unit. 4.5.1 Description of radio link The Receiving Unit can decode only the messages coming from the Transmitting Units of the
"Take & Release" Radio Remote Control to which it belongs. Each Transmitting Unit can decode only the messages coming from the Receiving Unit of the
"Take & Release" Radio Remote Control to which it belongs. 4.5.2 Receiving Unit statuses The Receiving Unit of a "Take & Release" Radio Remote Control can have two different statuses:
- Free: the Receiving Unit is not controlled by any Transmitting Unit.
- Engaged: the Receiving Unit is controlled by one of the Transmitting Units and cannot be controlled by the other Unit until it is released. The Receiving Unit switches from the engaged to the free status in the following cases:
- if it is disconnected from its power source for at least one second,
- if it is released by the Transmitting Unit that was controlling it. Only when the Receiving Unit is free, it can be engaged by the first Transmitting Unit that performs such operation by acting on the TAKE command, or by performing the start up procedure
(see "Part C" in the Instruction Manual). When a Transmitting Unit is switched off without releasing the Receiving Unit (see
"Part C" in the Instruction Manual), the latter remains in "engaged" status. LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 27 5 Radio Remote Control storage before installation or after removal Radio Remote Controls must always be transported and stored inside their packing until they are installed on the Machine.

AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 28 Installation 6 The chapter "Installing the Receiving Unit" in "Part D" of the Instruction Manual contains the warnings for the installation that add to those provided in this chapter. Therefore, please refer to that part of the Manual. Applications 6.1 An Autec Dynamic+P series' Radio Remote Control can be used for several applications: the Machine's Manufacturer must establish if the Radio Remote Control is suitable for each different application, with specific regard to safety. The Dynamic+P series is used most frequently for the following type of Machines:
- Machines for lifting and moving materials, objects, general loads (by way of example: hydraulic
- Machines for raising and moving people (by way of example: elevated work platforms, cranes, concrete pumps) telehandlers)
- Drilling Machines. The Autec Radio Remote Control may not be installed on Machines where it is used for applications or functions not permitted under this Manual and applicable Laws, Regulations and Standards, even local. INSTALLATION OF AN AUTEC RADIO REMOTE CONTROL ON OTHER MACHINE OR FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. Autec is not and cannot be held responsible if the Radio Remote Control is used in unsafe or poor safety conditions. Assessment shall be made by the Machine Manufacturer to establish possible additional protection measures for the actuators (by way of example: commands requiring two-hand operation, dead-man function) if particular environments, equipment and working modes could cause accidental bumps to the actuators.
"Take & Release" Radio Remote Controls are not suitable to be used in Machines requiring simultaneous consent from different Transmitting Units to start the Machine itself or to perform operations. LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 29 In addition to the above, Dynamic+P series' Radio Remote Controls cannot be installed:
- On Machines that are intended for the use in environments requiring explosion-proof features or in any usage situation that may pose the risk of explosion
- On machines where the receiving unit power supply does not come from a battery or from a power supply unit with safety isolating transformer
- On Machines that control loads that are not isolated from alternating current
(AC) power supply (if applicable)
- On Machines that create or can create dangerous situations if they stop due to the loss of radio link
- On Machines that do not allow a risk-free installation of a Radio Remote Control, due to their functions or features and/or to the risks related to their use
- On any kind of lifting accessory (by way of example: magnets, grippers, suction cups) whenever the loss of radio link or the deactivation of commands may cause the release of the load, resulting in the risk of damage to people and/or property. The Machine Manufacturer may allow the installation and use of the Radio Remote Control for such applications under their own responsibility If the applicable safety-related laws in the country where the Machine is used, regulations and standards (even local ones), even concerning safety in the workplace, do not allow the use of Radio Remote Controls to control the Machines.

INSTALLATION OF AN AUTEC RADIO REMOTE CONTROL ON MACHINES AND IN THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SITUATIONS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 30 Staff training: installation and maintenance 6.2 All installation and maintenance operations relating to the Autec Radio Remote Control system must be carried out by ONLY qualified technicians. Without limitation on the foregoing, such technicians must be trained and qualified with respect to:
- The activity to perform
- Warnings resulting from the risk assessment, concerning the Radio Remote Control installation and/or maintenance
- All applicable Laws, Regulations and Standards, even local, including also safety rules
- Operations and requirements of the Machine on which the Radio Remote Control is to be
- Instructions and warnings provided in the Manual and any other documents related to the Radio Remote Control and to the radio remote controlled Machine
- Directions by the Machine Manufacturer and by the Person in charge for safety in the workplace where the system "Machine + Radio Remote Control" is used. General instructions for installation and maintenance are provided in chapter 6 and in chapter 9 respectively. Instructions for the different Units are described in the specific Manual's parts related to the Units. Therefore, please refer to that parts of the Instruction Manual. installed Classification of commands 6.3 This paragraph describes the classification of commands in the Radio Remote Control: such information is useful during installation and maintenance. 6.3.1 Command type: analogue, digital or direction command Commands sent by the Transmitting Unit can either be analogue, digital or direction commands. Analogue commands generate proportional outputs as a function of the position of the corresponding actuator. Digital commands switch the status of their corresponding output, according to the position of the related actuator. This status can either be on or off. Direction commands are digital commands paired with analogue commands, and are used to enable the movement in a specific direction. 6.3.2 Name of commands All commands activated by the Transmitting Unit are identified with abbreviations such D1, D2, H1, L1, etc. Those abbreviations are provided in the Technical Data Sheet that must be used when installing the system, and in particular:
- In the drawing of the Transmitting Unit, where commands and their layout are indicated
- In the wiring diagram of the Receiving Unit. This is helpful to highlight the relation between the commands sent by the Transmitting Unit and those available on the Receiving Unit. LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 31 6.4 Warnings for installation The Installer of the Radio Remote Control must always read, understand and follow all the instructions and warnings contained in this Manual. These instructions and warnings are not exhaustive. In addition, for a correct installation, the Installer must abide and comply with all Laws, Regulations and Standards, even local, including all the technical specifications and standards applicable to the Autec Radio Remote Control to which this Manual applies (by way of example: IEC 60204-1, IEC 60204-32). The Installer of the Radio Remote Control must also observe all the instructions, provisions and technical directions provided by the Machine Manufacturer. Instructions and warnings provided in this chapter 6 are general. Specific instructions for the installation of the Radio Remote Control are provided in the Installation Manual: please refer to it for this information. The Installer must use and comply with that Installation Manual to complete the tasks for which he is appointed. 6.4.1 General warnings for installation Always follow the instructions provided in the Technical Data Sheet and respect values given in the technical data to carry out correct installation. The electrical connection of the Receiving Unit must meet the requirements set by clause 9.1 of standard IEC 60204-1 and/or standard IEC 60204-32. ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL MAY INSTALL THE RADIO REMOTE CONTROL. SUCH PERSONNEL MUST HAVE MASTERED THE TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED TO CARRY OUT THESE PROCEDURES CORRECTLY AND SAFELY AND BE QUALIFIED ACCORDING TO THE APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS AND HAVE ALL NECESSARY CERTIFICATIONS. FAILURE TO INSTALL THE AUTEC RADIO REMOTE CONTROL CORRECTLY MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 32 6.4.2 Mounting and fastening the Receiving Unit in the best position Place the Receiving Unit so as to avoid incidental contact. Place the Receiving Unit so that it can be easily reached in case of need. Place the Receiving Unit so that it can be easily reached, and far from heat sources (i.e. exhaust pipes, heat exchangers, radiators). Place the Receiving Unit vertically, with the cable gland or the plug facing down. NO NO YES Fix the Receiving Unit in four points, using the specific holes in the housing. Do not perforate the Receiving Unit in any case. When installing on Machines that are subject to intense mechanical stress
(by way of example: vibrations, rough paths, sudden movements), it is recommended to fix the Receiving Unit to the Machine with the appropriate vibration dampers. LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 6.4.3 Positioning the antenna 33 The Receiving Unit may be configured with internal antenna or external antenna
(see Technical Data Sheet). If the antenna is external, it cannot be mounted directly on the Receiving Unit's casing, but it must be installed with the antenna cable-extension kit. If the antenna is inside the Receiving Unit, install the Receiving Unit in a free and easily accessible area of the Machine: protections, panels, parts, surfaces or anything else should not be present, so that shields, structures or materials do not obstruct the radio link. In particular, the Receiving Unit must be placed at least 50 cm far from metal objects in its surroundings and must never be placed inside closed metal containers. NO YES AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 34 If the antenna is external to the Receiving Unit, install the antenna vertically as far as possible from the Receiving Unit and from other electrical and electronic devices. The antenna must not be placed inside closed metal containers. Install the antenna at least 50 cm far from metal objects in the surroundings, in a free area of the Machine; protections, panels, parts, surfaces or anything else should not be present, so that shields, structures or materials do not obstruct the radio link. NO YES LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 35 6.4.4 Wiring Wiring is understood as the electrical cable connections that can be found:
- Inside the Receiving Unit
- Between the Receiving Unit and the Machine. ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE PERFORMED AND MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE AND ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS, EVEN LOCAL. IF INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY AUTEC ARE INCONSISTENT WITH SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS, REGULATIONS OR STANDARDS, DO NOT INSTALL THE AUTEC RADIO REMOTE CONTROL WITHOUT CONSULTATION WITH AUTEC. AUTEC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY MALFUNCTIONS OR ACCIDENTS THAT MAY OCCUR DUE TO ANY IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN ITS INSTRUCTIONS AND SUCH LAWS, REGULATIONS OR STANDARDS. FAILURE TO INSTALL THE AUTEC RADIO REMOTE CONTROL CORRECTLY MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. The power supply of the Receiving Unit must have a switch that allows power supply disconnection during installation, wiring and/or maintenance operations. Connect the Receiving Unit immediately downstream of the Machine main switch or of the electrical panel main switch (see the Installation Manual). The Receiving Unit's power supply must be protected against short circuit by means of an external device (by way of example: fuse, thermal magnetic circuit breaker). Such device must be able to interrupt the maximum fault current
(including the short circuit current) allowed in the circuit. Make sure that the Receiving Unit's power supply is protected against short circuits and is supplied either by a battery or by a power supply unit with safety isolating transformer. Limits provided in the technical data must be observed (see chapter "Technical Data" in "Part D" of the Instruction Manual). Never connect power supply positive or negative pole to the outputs. Such connections damage the outputs and make ineffective the UMFS and STOP safety functions. In this case the Machine may be in a dangerous condition, out of the User's control. AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 36 The Installer must avoid that a power supply positive or negative pole is connected to the outputs. If a Receiving Unit's output is connected to a direct current inductive load (by way of example: solenoid valves, relays), it is advisable to connect a freewheeling diode in anti-parallel with the driven load, to reduce the effects of demagnetizing currents. A 12 or 24 V voltage must always be applied to the power supply input of solid state outputs. Common wire related to diodes of solid state outputs must be connected with the common of all the Machine's freewheeling diodes. If that is not possible, connect it to the Receiving Unit's power supply negative. Pay special attention to the currents flowing in the STOP and SAFETY outputs:
they shall not exceed the maximum permitted values (see chapter "Technical Data" in "Part D" of the Instruction Manual) . Wiring of STOP outputs is crucial to define the safety level for the STOP function (see the Installation Manual). Wiring of SAFETY outputs is crucial to define the safety level for the UMFS protection function (see the Installation Manual). Single-insulation wiring cables shall be placed inside the Receiving Unit, in such a way that they do not jeopardize the insulation amongst the circuits. The Installer is in any case responsible for carrying out wiring in such a way as to ensure the safety level required according to the risk analysis; in particular, the connection of power supply's positive or negative pole to the STOP outputs must be avoided. In compliance with article 9.2.7.4 of IEC Standard 60204-1 and of article 9.2.7.5 of IEC 60204-32, as far as "Take & Release" Radio Remote Controls are concerned, one or more signals (lamps or horns) must be installed; dedicated outputs on the Receiving Unit must be used for that purpose. Such signalling devices indicate which Transmitting Unit is controlling the Receiving Unit. Since the "Take & Release" Radio Remote Control consists of two Transmitting Units an one Receiving Unit, the Installer must carefully assess the risks generated by the presence of multiple Units, and adopt the necessary risk protection measures. LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 6.4.5 At the end of installation 37 Make sure that during installation the protection measures on the Radio Remote Control and/or in the Machine have not been made ineffective by improper installation works. Look up in the Technical Data Sheet and check that the frequency band set in the Radio Remote Control is permitted in the country of use. Correctly close the Receiving Unit in order to maintain the protection from dust, contaminants and water:
- Make sure that the gasket is intact and correctly seated.
- Check that the housing parts correctly fit so that they overlap.
- Tighten the screws. 6.4.6 Testing The Installer must check and fill in the Technical Data Sheet in all its parts, adding the date in which the radio remote controlled Machine has been put into service, their stamp and signature. AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 38 After installing and wiring the Receiving Unit, test the Machine controlled by the Radio Remote Control and verify that the operations carried out correspond exactly to the commands sent, including in particular but not limited to the functionality of the STOP command. Make sure that the SAFETY outputs (of UMFS function) only activate after the Radio Remote Control has started, and when at least one movement command is sent to the Machine. Also make sure that the SAFETY outputs disable when all the movement commands are released. In case of malfunction, disable the system Machine+Radio Remote Control until the problem has been completely solved and the installation and functionality is confirmed to be correct.. LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 7 Safety 39 Risk assessment for radio remote controlled Machines 7.1 The Manufacturer of the Machine on which the Radio Remote Control is to be installed shall make a full and proper risk assessment to determine whether the use and installation of the Autec Radio Remote Control is appropriate for the safe and effective operation of the Machine by a Radio Remote Control in the facility and for the purposes intended, also taking into account the reasonably foreseeable misuse, so that the installation, maintenance and operation of the Autec Radio Remote Control and all of its components are done solely and completely in accordance with this Manual, and with all local applicable laws, safety rules and standards (all of the foregoing referred to herein as Laws, Regulations and Standards). When carrying out the risk assessment to determine whether the Radio Remote Control may be installed on a Machine, the Manufacturer and/or Installer of the Radio Remote Control must comply with all Laws, Regulations and Standards, even local, regarding safety of the Machine and/or the installation, as well as the following warnings:
- Some Machines cannot be operated with a Radio Remote Control, such as set forth in paragraph 6.1).
- The radio link between the Units might be interrupted (see paragraph 4.1).
- All warnings regarding the installation, use and maintenance provided by Autec (see chapters 6, 8 and 9 ) must be considered.
- The "Take & Release" Radio Remote Control consists of two Transmitting Units.
- There is a delay between the release of a command in the Transmitting Unit and the deactivation of the corresponding output in the Receiving Unit (see paragraph 7.2).
- There is a delay between the activation of a command in the Transmitting Unit and the activation of the corresponding output in the Receiving Unit (see paragraph 7.2).
- Additional protection measures for the actuators may be necessary (see paragraph 7.3).
- It is possible that a command be enabled or disabled due to electrical and/or mechanical failure
(see paragraph 7.4).
- The Machine may be subject to stresses that might generate dangerous situations (by way of example: inertia, swinging load) if, when a movement is performed, a joystick is released very fast, or the stop function is enabled. AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 40 7.2 Delay in command response time Under normal conditions, the delay between the activation of a command in the Transmitting Unit and the activation of the corresponding output in the Receiving Unit requires the "Command response time" indicated in the Technical Data (see paragraph 4.3). Under poor radio link conditions (by way of example: interference, working range been reached) such delay may extend up to the "Passive stop time" indicated in the Technical Data (see paragraph 4.3). Please note that, due to the characteristics of radio propagation (by way of example: EM interference, exceeded working range), a delay up to the "Passive stop time" (indicated in the technical data, see paragraph 4.3) may occur from the moment a command in the Transmitting Unit is released to the moment its corresponding output in the Receiving Unit is deactivated. As for the SAFETY outputs only, the "UMFS cut-in time" (see technical data in "Part D"
of the Instruction Manual) adds up to this time. The Manufacturer, the Installer, the Owner, the User and/or the Maintenance Technician, must make sure that these delays never lead to a dangerous situation in the specific uses. LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 41 Inadvertent activation of commands 7.3 The User shall operate with the Transmitting Unit in a correct manner, in accordance with the instructions for use and maintenance. If the Unit is used correctly, accidental contact with the User's body parts or with external bodies does not cause inadvertent activation of the actuators. Any action carried out on the Transmitting Unit, or on part of it, aiming at activating the actuators in a different way from the one indicated in the instructions for use constitutes an improper use of the Radio Remote Control. The User must use the Radio Remote Control in conformity with the instruction for use and maintenance and with all the Laws, the Regulations and the Standards, even local, in force in the country where the Radio Remote Control and the Machine are used; moreover, the User must always have the control of the Radio Remote Control and remain in the usage position, as described in the relevant specific part concerning the Transmitting Unit. The Machine Manufacturer and/or the Installer must assess and adopt possible additional protection measures for the actuators (by way of example:
commands requiring two-hand operation, dead-man function) if particular environments, equipment and working modes could generate risk situations, and if Laws, Regulations and Standards in force in the country where the Radio Remote Control and the Machine are used should require it. 7.4 Activation and/or deactivation of commands due to failure It is possible that a command be activated or deactivated due to electrical and/or mechanical failure, that may affect the Radio Remote Control and/or the Machine. The Machine Manufacturer and/or the Installer of the Radio Remote Control must carefully evaluate the possible consequences of such malfunction. If required by the risk assessment, implement protection measures to prevent, reduce and report potential hazardous situations. AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 42 For further information see paragraph 4.2.3. If a command is activated and/or deactivated due to electrical and/or mechanical failure, perform the following procedure:
1. Press the STOP pushbutton to bring the Machine to a safe state. 2. Disable the Radio Remote Control and stop using the system "Machine+Radio Remote Control" until the problem has been solved by implementing the necessary technical operations. LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 43 Instructions for the User 8 The chapter "Instructions for the User" in "Parts C" of the Instruction Manual contains the warnings and instructions for the use that add to those provided in this chapter.

- Immediately inform his supervisors and/or the people in charge for the working place and/or for the Machine about any possible failure, damage, loosening, anomalous wear, detachment and/or any other anomaly that may cause malfunction to the Radio Remote Control and/or to the Machine, or that may cause damage to people and/or property.
- Keep the Transmitting Unit secure and out of reach of unauthorized and unqualified Personnel. The User must not:
- Use the radio remote control without receiving prior complete training by qualified personnel, and if he does not completely master the instructions and warnings regarding the radio remote control usage
- Use the Radio Remote Control if he suspects malfunction on the Radio Remote Control, the Machine, or one of their components
- Use the Radio Remote Control if the warnings and labels on the Machine or the symbols on the Radio Remote Control cannot be read, are worn or dirty
- Allow the use of the Radio Remote Control to unauthorised and/or untrained Personnel. ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE CONTAINED IN THE OTHER PARTS OF THIS MANUAL MUST BE FOLLOWED. LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 45 If the Radio Remote Control User wears electronic devices (by way of example:
pacemaker, implantable cardiac defibrillator, hearing aids), the Transmitting Unit must be kept at least 15 cm away from those devices when in use. AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 46 8.2.1 Before starting to work Before starting the Radio Remote Control to work, the User must be positioned in a place that allows him:
- The direct control of the radio remote controlled Machine and of the load movements, and, at the same time
- A safe position with regard to the operation of the radio remote controlled Machine and/or the load movement, and with regard to other operations and/or activities and/or processes taking place in the working place. In addition to the above, when the cable control is used, the User must position themselves in a place that prevents them from stumbling on the cable control's cable and from being trapped/blocked by it. Always check that the mechanical operation of the STOP pushbutton is correct. If it is impossible or difficult to press this pushbutton, do not use the Radio Remote Control. Never start up or use the Transmitting Unit if the working conditions pose the risk of losing balance or of tripping. Start up the Transmitting Unit only to use it according to its intended use or for operational needs (by way of example: maintenance, checks): improper use may cause dangerous situations. Never start up or use the Transmitting Unit in closed spaces, with no or poor visibility, or outside the Radio Remote Control working range: in such cases it is still possible to establish a radio link between the Transmitting Unit and the Receiving Unit, thus causing the risk that unwanted commands be carried out by the radio remote controlled Machine. Get familiar with the relation between the actuators and the Machine's movements (this is indicated in the attached Technical Data Sheet) and learn symbols on the Transmitting Unit's panel (the used symbols are defined by the Machine Manufacturer and/or by the Installer depending on the effectiveness and the functions the Machine requires). LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 8.2.2 During normal operation 47 Pay attention to the entire work area. Immediately press the STOP pushbutton when a hazardous situation occurs. Visually and directly follow all movements of the Machine and its load and remain inside the Radio Remote Control working range. Pay particular attention to warnings and visual and acoustic signals, and take all measurements and steps to avoid that movements of the remote controlled Machine may lead to hazardous situations for people and/or property. In case of malfunction, switch off the Transmitting Unit and disconnect power supply from the Receiving Unit: this way, the system "Machine+Radio Remote Control" is disabled; it must not be used until the problem has been solved by implementing the necessary technical operations. Pay attention to low battery signals: all dangerous operations (by way of example: hanging load) must be concluded before the battery is completely flat. Use the Transmitting Unit with the complements provided with the Radio Remote Control (by way of example: pouch, waist belt, shoulder harness) to avoid that it accidentally falls, or that actuators come into contact with external bodies, or that the Unit is used improperly. When "Take & Release" Radio Remote Controls are used, by releasing a Machine the User gives an explicit consent to the other Users, thus enabling them to take control of the Machine itself. Therefore, when a User releases a Machine or part of it, they must pay highest attention to possible Machine's movements, as it is no more under their control. AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 48 8.2.3 After using the Radio Remote Control Switch off the Transmitting Unit when not using the remote control to control the Machine, or when work is otherwise interrupted, even for short periods. Do not leave a load hanging or the Machine in dangerous conditions (even when charging the Unit or changing the battery). Never leave the Transmitting Unit unguarded in order to prevent unauthorised or non supervised use. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. 8.3 Operational use The use of Radio Remote Controls is strictly limited to properly trained Personnel. All instructions for correct use are given in "Part C" of the Manual (related to the Transmitting Unit). When the Radio Remote Control is installed on Machines on board vehicles, switch off the Receiving Unit while the vehicle is travelling. Environmental working conditions are given in the following table. Transmitting Unit usage Receiving Unit usage Temperature da -25 a +55C

- Keep the Transmitting Unit secure and out of reach of unauthorized and unqualified Personnel. ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE CONTAINED IN THE OTHER PARTS OF THIS MANUAL MUST BE FOLLOWED. All fine-tuning, checking and maintenance actions carried out on the Radio Remote Control shall be verified and recorded by the Person in charge of carrying out maintenance on the Machine. AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 50 Before any maintenance operation, disconnect the Receiving Unit from the power supply, using the devices and instructions provided by the Machine Manufacturer and by the Installer. After each maintenance operation, always make sure that all commands sent by the Transmitting Unit activate only the corresponding expected operations. In case of malfunction, switch off the Transmitting Unit and disconnect power supply from the Receiving Unit: this way, the system "Machine+Radio Remote Control" is disabled; it must not be used until the problem has been solved by implementing the necessary technical operations. After each maintenance operation, if a Unit has been opened, close it correctly, in order to maintain the protection degree from dust, contaminants and water:
- Make sure that the gasket is intact and correctly seated.
- Check that the housing parts correctly fit so that they overlap.
- Tighten the screws. LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 51 Routine maintenance 9.2 Routine maintenance consists of operations needed to preserve the Radio Remote Control normal usage conditions, thus implementing fine-tuning, checks, planned replacement actions that necessarily arise from the normal use of the product. All given instructions must be followed correctly at each commissioning, that is:
- Whenever the Radio Remote Control and/or the Machine is installed or assembled
- Whenever the Machine location/position changes
- After special maintenance. Routine maintenance carried out as described in this Manual is fundamental for using the Radio Remote Control safely. Special applications may require more specific routine maintenance actions to be carried out at different periods (by way of example: if the working environment is particularly dirty, or temperature is very high or very low (see limits provided in paragraph 8.3), or in case of heavy application, or if it is used very frequently, some maintenance actions may be required more frequently depending on the instructions provided by the Machine Manufacturer and/or by the Installer). When carrying out maintenance on the Machine, always disconnect power supply from the Receiving Unit. In the event of necessary maintenance on the Machine (by way of example: welding), disconnect all the electrical connections of the Receiving Unit. 9.2.1 Daily routine maintenance Before starting to work:
- Make sure that the symbols on panel on the Transmitting Unit and on the Receiving Unit are clearly visible and replace the panel if necessary.
- Make sure that the plates on the Transmitting Unit and on the Receiving Unit are readable and intact (refer to the specific part in the Manual concerning the Transmitting Unit and the Receiving Unit).
- Make sure that the mechanical operation of the STOP pushbutton is correct.
- Make sure that the Transmitting Unit and the Receiving Unit are undamaged in all their parts.
- Check the Receiving Unit status and remove any material from it (dust, remnants, object, etc.):
never use solvents or flammable/corrosive materials for cleaning, and do not use high-
pressure water cleaners or steam cleaners.
- Check that the wiring of the Receiving Unit is intact and connected. During normal operation:
etc.).
- Do not damage the Transmitting Unit (avoid falls, bumps, contact with water, fluids or liquids,
- Pay attention not to let materials (by way of example: concrete, sand, grease, dirt, lime, dust, etc.) deposit on the Transmitting Unit because they can compromise its use and safety. AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 52 After using the Radio Remote Control:
- Clean the Transmitting Unit: never use solvents or flammable/corrosive materials and do not use water jet cleaners, or air pressure or steam pressure cleaners.
- Store the Transmitting Unit in clean and dry places. 9.2.2 Three-month routine maintenance At least every three months:
that are carried out by the Machine.
- Check the correct correspondence between the commands that are sent and the manoeuvres
- Make sure that the SAFETY outputs (of UMFS function) only activate after the Radio Remote Control has started, and when at least one movement command is sent to the Machine. Also make sure that the SAFETY outputs disable when all the movement commands are released. This is safety critical maintenance: it is necessary to keep a record (date, signature, comments) showing that this check has been regularly carried out.

LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 53 Special maintenance 9.3 Special maintenance consists of repairs needed due to Radio Remote Control failure, damage or malfunction, and their aim is to restore the original usage and working conditions. Special maintenance may be performed only by qualified Maintenance Technicians, that is to say, by skilled technical Personnel with specific competence and knowledge of Autec Radio Remote Control, belonging to the Autec's service network, or explicitly authorised by Autec. When performing special maintenance operations, the Instruction Manual for the use and maintenance of the Autec Radio Remote Control must be available and undamaged in all its parts. Only original Autec spare parts and materials provided by Autec shall be used for the replacement of parts and/or for special maintenance operations. When seeking assistance or replacement parts from Autec or its authorized distributors or service centres, the following must be provided:
- Radio Remote Control serial number
- Purchase date
- Description of the problem found
- Address and telephone number of the place where the Radio Remote Control is being used
(with the name of the Person to contact)
- Local Radio Remote Control supplier. AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 54 9.4 Additional maintenance operations in environments with corrosive agents If the Radio Remote Control is used in environments where corrosive agents are present (by way of example: sea water, salt fog, salt...), apply grease to the electrical connections to protect them. Only use electrically non-conductive, polyalphaolefin and silicate-based grease for electrical contacts. Do not use polyether-, polyoilester- and polyphenyl ether-based grease. One possible grease to be used is Electric Grease CN 4070 (Macon Research). Check and replace grease as frequently as shown in the following table:
Grease check frequency every 4-6 months every 4-6 months Re-greasing frequency If dirt and impurities are found If dirt and impurities are found Type of connection Connector for external antenna Receiving Unit's plug Connectors for cable control of Transmitting Unit and of Receiving Unit 1 month Contacts of Transmitting Unit, battery charger and battery weekly If dirt and impurities are found, and once a year anyway If dirt and impurities are found, and once every three months anyway It is recommended to disconnect the cable control cable and to store it in a protected place when it is not in use. When carrying out this kind of maintenance operations, follow these recommendations:
- Make sure that the surface of electrical connections is covered with a layer of grease and add it if necessary.
- Contact the support service of the Machine Manufacturer if evident oxidation is detected. 9.5 Preventive replacement of the Radio Remote Control's electromechanical components 9.5.1 Actuators (joysticks, pushbuttons and switches) As provided by the Manufacturer of each actuator in the corresponding technical specification, each actuator of the Transmitting Unit can be used for a defined maximum number of operations, as shown in the table below. The maximum number of operations must not be considered as a warranty period. LIUDPP000_eng-00 AUTEC 55 The Maintenance Technician must replace joysticks, pushbuttons and selectors on the Transmitting Unit before they reach the maximum number of operations, even though they are still working. This replacement prevents possible failure and dangerous situations (by way of example: inadvertent activation and/or deactivation of the command activated by the actuator).

1. Move all other Transmitting Units in the working area away from the Autec Transmitting Unit in use to avoid possible radio interference. 2. Bring the Autec Transmitting Unit closer to the matching Autec Receiving Unit to avoid possible radio interference, always positioning yourself in a safe place and with full view of the Machine, its operational area and the load, if any. In a "Take & Release" Radio Remote Control, if you cannot take control of the Receiving Unit, even from a short distance, make sure that it is not already controlled by the other Transmitting Unit. 3. Determine if the problem lies with the Radio Remote Control or with the Machine: to that purpose, you need to try to control the Machine with another control station (if any),different from the Radio Remote Control. If the problem persists after this attempt, you need to fix the Machine: follow the instructions provided by the Machine Manufacturer. Otherwise, the problem lies with the Autec Radio Remote Control, so you need to carry out further checks (see paragraph 10.3). 10.1 Radio Remote Controls with "Data Feedback" function It is still possible that the Transmitting Unit sends commands to control the Machine even if the Data Feedback function does not work properly (refer to "Data Feedback function" in "Part C"
of the Manual), or if there is no information and/or signals coming from it. When the display or the LED array does not work, please contact the support service of the Machine Manufacturer, even if none of the problems indicated in paragraph 10.3 has been detected. 10.2 Radio Remote Controls with cable control Possibly use the wire control to check if radio interference occurs. On the contrary, if you want to check that the wire control works properly:
1. Connect the cable to the Transmitting Unit and to the Receiving Unit. 2. Check that the movement carried out by the Machine correspond to the commands sent by the Transmitting Unit. 10.3 Solutions in case of malfunction Look up in Part C and/or in Part D of the Manual to identify the Radio Remote Control malfunction signalled by light signals on the Units. If the problem persists after attempting the suggested solution, contact the support service of the Machine Manufacturer. AUTEC LIUDPP000_eng-00 58 11 Decommissioning and disposal 11.1 Decommissioning If you want to remove the Receiving Unit from the Machine:
- Make sure that the Receiving Unit and the Machine are not powered.
- Remove all electrical connections between the Receiving Unit and the Machine. If you want to store the Radio Remote Control after it has been decommissioned, follow the directions provided in chapter 5. 11.2 Disposal When disposing of a Radio Remote Control, its components must be managed as separate waste. When disposing of a Radio Remote Control, please comply with the provisions and/or the regulations in force in the country where it is used. 11.2.1 Waste disposal in the European Union: Directive 2012/19/EU In the European Union, all electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) such as radio remote controls must be correctly managed to reduce their environmental impact and protect human health. Therefore, different collection and recycling systems are set out for such equipment. The symbol consisting of a crossed-out wheeled bin indicates that such EEE must be disposed of in conformity with Directive 2012/19/EU. The symbol with a crossed-out bin provided on the radio remote control indicates that this product must be separately collected from other waste at the end of its life cycle. Separate collection of end-of-life radio remote controls is set up and managed by the manufacturer. Users who want to dispose of radio remote controls need to contact their manufacturer to receive directions about the separate collection system chosen for end-of-life products. As an alternative, it is possible to bring any equipment with no dimension more than 25 cm to retail shops with sales areas relating to EEE of at least 400 m2, free of charge and with no obligation to buy any new equivalent equipment. Proper separate collection of end-of-life Radio remote controls and their subsequent recycling, treatment and environmentally sound disposal contributes to preventing possible negative impacts on the environment and on human health, and fosters the reuse and/or recycling of materials radio remote controls are made of.

The TAKE command enables to take control of the Receiving Unit, if it is free. 8.5.6 Command RELEASE The RELEASE command is present in all the Transmitting Units of a Take & Release Radio Remote Control. The RELEASE command enables to release the Receiving Unit, if it is engaged. By releasing the Receiving Unit of a Take & Release Radio Remote Control, the User gives an explicit consent to the other User, thus enabling him/her to take control of the Receiving Unit that has just been released. 8.6 Low Power function The Low Power function enables the transmission at a reduced power compared to the nominal power and reduces the Radio Remote Control working range (see paragraph "Technical Data"
in the general part of the Instruction Manual). This function aims at:
- Making it easier to work with several Radio Remote Control in the same working environment
(i.e.: many working Machines in the same working area)
- Extending the battery run-time. AUTEC LIUPJQ001_eng-00 22 This function is established by the Machine Manufacturer (see Technical Data Sheet). 8.7 Battery The Dynamic+P series' Transmitting Units can only be powered by Autec rechargeable batteries. For any warnings and instructions regarding the battery, see "Part E" in the Instruction Manual. 8.7.1 Battery insertion To insert the battery, proceed as follows:
1. Push the battery towards the contacts of the Transmitting Unit. 2. Insert the battery in its housing. The battery slides easily into place and ensures that the positive (+) and negative
(-) poles are correctly connected only if it is inserted with the plate facing its housing, so that the battery's contacts match the Transmitting Unit's contacts. 8.7.2 Battery removal To remove the battery, proceed as follows:
1. Push the battery towards the contacts of the Transmitting Unit. 2. Remove the battery from its housing. When the Transmitting Unit is not in use, remove the battery if possible. LIUPJQ001_eng-00 AUTEC 23 8.8 Starting up the Radio Remote Control Starting up the Radio Remote Control means enabling it to send commands and operate the Machine. The Radio Remote Control start up is protected by a power keyswitch to prevent unauthorised use of the Machine. To activate the Radio Remote Control it is necessary to insert the power keyswitch as described in the following procedure. Perform the following procedure to start the Radio Remote Control:
1. Power on the Receiving Unit respecting the voltage limits provided in the technical data (see
"Part D" of the Manual). The POWER LED illuminates. 2. Insert a fully charged battery in the Transmitting Unit (see paragraph 8.7.1). 3. Insert the power keyswitch in the Transmitting Unit (see paragraph 8.1). 4. In a Take & Release Radio Remote Control, activate the TAKE command and hold it active until the Receiving Unit's seven-segment displays show the following signal: "---1" or "---2". 5. Press the START pushbutton and hold it down until the green LED repeats one of the following sequences: one or two blinks and a pause. If the red LED illuminates, refer to chapter 11. When the green LED repeats one of the following sequences: one or two blinks and a pause, the Radio Remote Control is active and it can send commands and activate the Machine. 8.8.1 Monitored commands When the START pushbutton is pressed during the Radio Remote Control start up, the Transmitting Unit monitors the status of commands D2-D20, A1-A8, H1-H8 and L1-L8. If any command is active, the Unit shows which command is active through the LEDs and the display. In this case, to keep this signal active, hold the START pushbutton pressed until the Transmitting Unit automatically switches off (otherwise the signal will be interrupted). If none of the monitored commands is active, the Radio Remote Control starts. AUTEC LIUPJQ001_eng-00 24 Commands monitored by the Transmitting Unit during start up are chosen by the Machine Manufacturer according to the risk assessment. If this assessment was positive, the Manufacturer can ask Autec to modify the behaviour of commands D2-D20, A1-A8, H1-H8 and L1-L8 during start up. Look up for monitored and non-monitored commands in the Technical Data Sheet. Commands D21-D48 and A9-A12 can not be monitored during start up. When the START pushbutton is pressed to start the Radio Remote Control, the commands that are not monitored during start up, if active, immediately activate the Machine functions that are associated with them. 8.9 How to take control of the Receiving Unit in a Take & Release Radio Remote Control To take control of the Receiving Unit, activate the TAKE command and hold it active until in the Receiving Unit's seven-segment display appears "---1" or "---2". 8.10 How to release the Receiving Unit in a Take & Release Radio Remote Control To release the Receiving Unit, activate the RELEASE command. Depending on the Transmitting Unit's configuration, this command may be associated with one or two actuators. If the RELEASE command is associated to one actuator, to release the Receiving Unit you need to activate the actuator and hold it active until in the Receiving Unit's seven-segment display appears "---F". If the RELEASE command is associated to two actuators, to release the Receiving Unit you need to activate the two actuators simultaneously and hold them active until in the Receiving Unit's seven-segment display appears "---F". Autec can set the RELEASE command to be activated in a different way than the above mentioned ones, only upon request by either the Machine Manufacturer or the Installer: the User must be properly trained in the matter. By releasing the Receiving Unit of a Take & Release Radio Remote Control, the User gives an explicit consent to the other Users, thus enabling them to take control of the Receiving Unit just released. LIUPJQ001_eng-00 AUTEC 25 8.11 Command activation When the Radio Remote Control is started, it is possible to activate movements, functions and commands on the Machine by acting on the related joysticks, switches or pushbuttons, whose functions and symbols are decided by the Manufacturer and/or the Installer. To identify the relation between the actuators and the corresponding Machine movements, the Machine Manufacturer and/or the Installer shall provide relevant instructions and the User shall be properly trained. 8.12 Radio link interruption When the radio link is incorrect or interrupted for a certain time lapse ("Passive Stop" indicated in the Technical Data Sheet), the automatic stop function activates (see paragraph "Control devices" in "Part A" of the Manual). The green LED on the Transmitting Unit blinks fast. The POWER LED on the Receiving Unit illuminates steadily. To start the Radio Remote Control, press the START pushbutton and hold it down until the green LED repeats one or two blinks and a pause. If the red LED illuminates, refer to chapter 11. When the green LED repeats one of the following sequences: one or two blinks and a pause, the Radio Remote Control is active and it can send commands and activate the Machine. 8.13 Transmitting Unit automatic switch off Automatic switch off of the Transmitting Unit occurs in the following cases.
- When the battery is flat (see paragraph 8.13.1).
- When the Radio Remote Control is not used for a certain time (see paragraph 8.13.2).
- When the Transmitting Unit is powered and never switched off for eight hours non-stop (see paragraph 8.13.3). The green LED on the Transmitting Unit switches off. The POWER LED on the Receiving Unit illuminates steadily. To start the Radio Remote Control, press the START pushbutton and hold it down until the green LED repeats one or two blinks and a pause. If the red LED illuminates, refer to chapter 11. When the green LED repeats one of the following sequences: one or two blinks and a pause, the Radio Remote Control is active and it can send commands and activate the Machine. 8.13.1 Low battery The Transmitting Unit indicates if the battery is not sufficiently charged (the red LED blinks and an acoustic signal sounds). The Transmitting Unit automatically switches off after 3.5 minutes after the onset of the signal. It is necessary to bring the Machine to a safe state and replace the battery with a charged one
(see paragraph 8.7). AUTEC LIUPJQ001_eng-00 26 8.13.2 When the Transmitting Unit is not used If the Transmitting Unit remains started for a certain time while none of these commands are enabled: SAFETY, D2-D10, H1-H8 or L1-L8, then it automatically switches off. This time frame is specified in the Technical Data Sheet (Automatic Switch Off). Setting or removal of the automatic switch off time (Automatic Switch Off) is done by Autec and decided by the Machine Manufacturer, according to his risk assessment and to the operation and functions he needs on the Machine. 8.13.3 Non-stop use The Transmitting Unit indicates if it has been on for eight hours non-stop (the red LED blinks and an acoustic signal sounds). The Transmitting Unit automatically switches off after 3.5 minutes after the onset of the signal. Bring the Machine to a safe state before the Transmitting Unit automatically switches off. 8.14 Switching off the Transmitting Unit Switch off the Transmitting Unit when not actively using the Radio Remote Control to operate the Machine, or when work is otherwise interrupted, even for short periods. Do not leave the load hanging or the Machine in dangerous conditions (even when charging the Unit or changing the battery). FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. Voluntary switch off of the Transmitting Unit occurs in the following cases.
- when the power keyswitch is turned anti-clockwise or removed.
- When the battery is removed (see paragraph 8.7.2).
- When the STOP pushbutton is pressed. 8.15 Data Feedback Function The User receives information and/or signals concerning some specific situations and the movements of the controlled Machine by means of the Data Feedback function. The Data Feedback function acts through the LED array and/or the display. LIUPJQ001_eng-00 AUTEC 27 Any information shown and signalled on the display and/or through the LEDs for Data Feedback function can never be considered or used as a safety signal or for legal metrology. When operating and moving the Machine, remember that the Radio Remote Control does not operate autonomously when potential hazardous situations are displayed and signalled. During normal Radio Remote Control operation, pay particular attention to the indications displayed and signalled by the display and/or through the LEDs: they can be helpful to evaluate the Machine working status. 8.15.1 Operation with display If the Transmitting Unit has a display, it is possible to show warning icons, the measurements collected from the Machine and their description. The Machine Manufacturer chooses which information are displayed and the way they are displayed (icons and/or measurements and/or descriptions). The battery level and the quality of the radio link are also always indicated. 8.15.2 Operation with LED If the Transmitting Unit has an LED array for the Data Feedback function, specific Machine conditions are signalled if they are illuminated (by way of example: load limits, limit switch). The signalled conditions depend on the settings chosen by the Machine Manufacturer. 8.16 Cable control The cable control is used:
- in particular working conditions, established by the Machine Manufacturer
- when it is not possible to establish a radio link between the Radio Remote Control Units,
- when working in environments where using radio frequencies is not allowed or is dangerous,
- when a fully charged battery is not available. ATTENTION: The use of the cable control entails risk of electric shock when working near overhead or underground power line's cables. 8.16.1 Description The cable control connects the Transmitting Unit to the Receiving Unit through a cable that replaces the radio link. The cable shall be plugged in the suitable connectors, one on the Transmitting Unit and the other on the Receiving Unit (or placed where established by the Machine Manufacturer). AUTEC LIUPJQ001_eng-00 28 When using the cable control, the working features of the Radio Remote Control and of the Take & Release Radio Remote Control (i.e. the meaning of actuators and the Data Feedback function) do not change. 8.16.2 Operation Before starting to work, make sure that the cable and the corresponding connectors are intact. Work organisation, Machines' position, passages, etc. shall be planned so as to avoid that the cable control 's cable may be damaged by moving trolleys or by the ongoing operations. Do not use the cable control's cable to lift the Transmitting Unit. Lay the cable control's cable in such a way as to avoid that it is squashed or strained by People or objects. Avoid contact with sharp or cutting objects that can cut the cable's protective sheath. The cable control cannot be used if the Radio Remote Control is installed on a Machine that controls loads that are not isolated from an AC power supply or from a DC power supply higher than 30V . Using the cable control at the same time as the waist belt or the shoulder harness means that there is a physical connection between the User and the Machine: therefore, the User must constantly check that the Machine's movements, especially in case of loss of control (by way of example: risk of overturning, of cable dragging by other Machinery), do not cause hazards. In such situations, the User must pull out the belt or open it by unfastening its buckle(s). The cable control must only be connected and disconnected when the Transmitting Unit is off. When you finish working with the cable control, disconnect the cable from the Transmitting Unit and from the Machine, and protect the connectors with their caps. Follow this procedure to control the Machine with the cable control:
1. Power on the Receiving Unit respecting the voltage limits provided in the technical data (see
"Part D" of the Manual). The POWER LED illuminates. 2. Make sure that the battery is inside the Transmitting Unit and leave it there even though the power supply comes from the Receiving Unit via the cable control. The battery is not, in any case, recharged through the cable control: it can only be recharged through its appropriate battery charger provided together with the system. LIUPJQ001_eng-00 AUTEC 29 3. Connect the cable control to its connector in the Receiving Unit (or where arranged by the Machine Manufacturer). 4. Connect the cable control to its connector on the Transmitting Unit. 5. Insert the power keyswitch in the Transmitting Unit (see paragraph 8.1). 6. In a Take & Release Radio Remote Control, activate the TAKE command and hold it active until the Receiving Unit's seven-segment displays show the following signal: "---1" or "---2". 7. Press the START pushbutton and hold it down until the green LED repeats the sequence:
three blinks and a pause. If the red LED illuminates, refer to chapter 11. When the green LED repeats the sequence: three blinks and a pause, the Radio Remote Control is active and it can send commands and activate the Machine. When working with the cable control the radio link is cut off:
8.17 BACK-UP UNIT If the Transmitting Unit cannot be used, it can be replaced with a Transmitting Unit called BACK-
UP UNIT; you need to ask for it from Autec. It is identical to the Unit that cannot be used any more; the only difference is the presence of the plate BACK-UP UNIT on the battery housing. As required by standard IEC 60204-32, each Radio Remote Control is uniquely identified through a serial number. Therefore, upon replacement of the Unit, the serial number of the Transmitting Unit to be replaced must be marked on the BACK-UP UNIT, so that all the Units belonging to the Radio Remote Control will show the same serial number. Autec cannot be held responsible if the serial number of the Transmitting Unit to be replaced has not been marked on BACK-UP UNIT.
