AUTEC LIUAIR004_eng-00 18 4 Radio Remote Control features Air 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 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. 4.1 Description of radio link 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 4.3)
- Low battery
- Automatic switch off
- No power supply in the Receiving Unit
- Exceeded working range (see "Part B" in the Instruction Manual)
- Presence of metal obstructions. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 19 WARNING: The operating working range may be significantly and unpredictably reduced compared to the value indicated in the technical data in "Part B" of the Manual when special conditions occur in the working environment (by way of example: temporary presence of electromagnetic interference and/or metal obstructions). WARNING: The operating working range may be extended up to ten times compared to the value indicated in the technical data in "Part B" of the Manual when there are no interference elements in the working environment (by way of example: no electromagnetic interference and/or metal obstacles). 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. 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. 4.3 Radio Remote Control stop functions The Radio Remote Control has two stop functions that bring the Machine to a safe state every time it is necessary to stop it due to a potentially hazardous situation:
- Automatic stop function (ATS): this function is activated automatically (see chapter 4.3.3).
- Manual stop function: this stop function may be a General Safe Stop (GSS, see paragraph 4.3.1) or an EMergency Stop (EMS, see paragraph 4.3.2). The automatic stop function (ATS) and the manual stop function are both safety functions (see paragraph 4.5). In some Radio Remote Controls, the stop function may be appointed to a specific actuator, supplied on demand ("Enabling&Stop" pushbutton). The instructions for this actuator, if present, are provided in Part C of the Instruction Manual. AUTEC LIUAIR004_eng-00 20 The GSS function and the EMS function are never present simultaneously in a Radio Remote Control. The Machine Manufacturer and/or the Installer have the responsibility to decide which one is the correct/suitable one for the radio remote controlled Machine in accordance with the requirements for such function. 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 PUSHBUTTON RELATED TO THE STOP FUNCTION (GSS or EMS) MAY NOT RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE STOP OF THE MACHINE. THE ACTIVATION OF THE PUSHBUTTON RELATED TO THE STOP FUNCTION
(GSS OR EMS) CONTROLS THE MACHINE'S STOP FUNCTION, BUT THE TIME AND DISTANCE WITHIN WHICH THE LATTER WILL BE BROUGHT TO A SAFE STATE MAY VARY FROM MACHINE TO MACHINE, FOR EXAMPLE DUE TO THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF A BRAKE. THE USER MUST BE FULLY AWARE OF THE MACHINE'S MOVEMENTS AND OPERATING ZONES 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. Depending on the Machine's risk assessment, it may be necessary to arrange, on the Machine or nearby, an additional restore device to be used after the GSS or the EMS function has been activated by the Transmitting Unit. This device must be placed in a fixed position in such a way as to enable the User to perfectly see the whole Machine's working area. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 21 4.3.1 General Safe Stop function (GSS) The User activates the GSS function by using the pushbutton identified with GSS or General Safe Stop in the Transmitting Unit. This manual stop generates the Transmitting Unit switch off. This working logics implicates that the Receiving Unit brings the Machine to a safe state when the passive stop originated by the Transmitting Unit switch off enables the automatic stop function in the Receiving Unit. Activation of GSS pushbutton Switching off the Transmitting Unit Passive stop Contacts of STOP relays in the Receiving Unit open The GSS function is available if and only if the Radio Remote Control is started (see paragraph "Radio Remote Control start up" in "Part C" of the Manual). AUTEC LIUAIR004_eng-00 22 Never leave the Transmitting Unit unguarded to avoid uncertainty about the availability or unavailability of the GSS function. The mission time of the GSS function, as defined in international standards and requirements, is 20 years. In any case, the Radio Remote Control must be replaced within this period. The "mission time" must not be considered as a warranty period. After the activation of the GSS or General Safe 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. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 23 4.3.2 EMergency Stop (EMS) function The User activates EMS function by using the red pushbutton on a yellow background identified with EMS in the Transmitting Unit. This manual stop generates the Transmitting Unit switch off. This working logics implicates that the Receiving Unit brings the Machine to a safe state when the passive stop originated by the Transmitting Unit switch off enables the automatic stop function in the Receiving Unit. The red pushbutton in use complies with the IEC 60204-1 and with the IEC 60947-5-5. The EMS function complies with the ISO 13850. Activation of EMS pushbutton Switching off the Transmitting Unit Passive stop Contacts of STOP relays in the Receiving Unit open The EMS function is available if and only if the Radio Remote Control is started (see paragraph "Radio Remote Control start up" in "Part C" of the Manual). AUTEC LIUAIR004_eng-00 24 The Radio Remote Control's stop function can be considered EMS only if:
It belongs to a Machine's emergency stop function compliant with the requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and of the ISO 13850 standard It belongs to a Machine's emergency stop function that is always available and operational, independently from the Machine's working mode
- The Transmitting Unit is the only control station of the Machine. If, on the other hand, there is another non-remote control station, the EMS function present in the Radio Remote Control must always be made available and operational. The red pushbutton on the Transmitting Unit must not be the only means to initiate the emergency stop function in the radio remote controlled Machine. Never leave the Transmitting Unit unguarded to avoid uncertainty about the availability or unavailability of the EMS function. The mission time of the EMS function, as defined in international standards and requirements, is 20 years. In any case, the Radio Remote Control must be replaced within this period. The "mission time" must not be considered as a warranty period. After the activation of the red 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. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 25 4.3.3 Automatic stop function (ATS) The automatic stop function (ATS) prevents hazardous operation of the radio remote controlled Machine and brings it to a safe state. This function is activated automatically:
- By the Receiving Unit due to passive stop, when the Receiving Unit does not receive correct messages in a given time span (see paragraph 4.1).
- When a Radio Remote Control malfunction is detected. INCORRECT messages for a given time span Radio Remote Control malfunction detected by the Transmitting Unit Radio Remote Control malfunction detected by the Receiving Unit Switching off the Transmitting Unit Passive stop Contacts of STOP relays in the Receiving Unit open AUTEC LIUAIR004_eng-00 26 4.4 Protection against unintended movements from the standstill position 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 rest position of the actuators on the Transmitting Unit is the neutral position. When all the actuators related to commands protected by this function (such commands are indicated in the Technical Data Sheet as COMMAND+SAFETY) are in the neutral position, the Radio Remote Control keeps Receiving Units SAFETY relay contacts open, regardless of the status of all the outputs related to the commands. When all the actuators related to the commands protected by this function are in their neutral position, the function reduces the risk of accidentally activating Machine's movements. If all actuators related to the commands protected by this function are released, the SAFETY relay deactivates after about 1 second. This function prevents the Radio Remote Control from starting if an electrical failure of movement commands is detected. THIS FUNCTION WORKS CORRECTLY IF AND ONLY IF THE SAFETY OUTPUTS ARE CONNECTED CORRECTLY (SEE "PART D" IN THE MANUAL). MOVEMENT OF THE MACHINE MAY OCCUR WHENEVER AN ACTUATOR RELATED TO MOVEMENT COMMANDS IN THE TRANSMITTING UNIT IS MOVED FROM ITS NEUTRAL POSITION. EVEN INADVERTENT ACTIVATION OF COMMANDS MAY CAUSE MACHINE MOVEMENTS (SEE PARAGRAPH 7.3). EVEN THOUGH THIS RADIO REMOTE CONTROL IS EQUIPPED WITH ALL THE REASONABLE MEASURES TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ACTIVATION, IT CANNOT DETECT IF THE ACTUATOR HAS BEEN MOVED INTENTIONALLY OR ACCIDENTALLY. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 27 THIS FUNCTION MUST NOT BE INTENDED AS A PROTECTION AGAINST ACCIDENTAL ACTIVATION OF THE ACTUATORS, BUT IT HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENDED ACTIVATION OF MOVEMENTS IN CASE OF FAILURE OF COMMANDS PROTECTED BY SUCH FUNCTION. THIS FUNCTION IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE WHATSOEVER FOR THE PROPER USE AND PROTECTION 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. For some types of Radio Remote Controls, the protection against unintended movements from the rest position is a safety function compliant with the EN ISO 13849-1 and the EN IEC 62061. In this case such function is named UMRP and its performance is indicated in the Technical Data Sheet (see Safety performance of the UMRP): if such expression is not listed, the function is not a safety function. AUTEC LIUAIR004_eng-00 See Performance of stop functions provided in the Technical Data Sheet 28 4.5 Technical data Performance of the automatic stop function (ATS) Performance of the General Safe Stop (GSS) function Performance of the Emergency Stop (EMS) function Cut in time for the automatic stop function (ATS) Cut in time for the manual stop function (GSS or EMS) 0.5s Command response time (typical) 140ms The technical data related to the single Units belonging to the Air series are provided in the specific parts of the Manual and in their Technical Data Sheets. 4.6 Identifying the Radio Remote Control 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. Plates must not be removed from their position: removal immediately voids the warranty. Plates must not be altered or damaged, contact Autec for replacement. The Machine Manufacturer, the Installer, the Maintenance Technician and the People in charge for the usage of the Machine and of the working place are responsible for making sure that the Radio Remote Control's identification plate is a sufficient means to explain the correspondence between the Transmitting Unit and the Receiving Unit. If that were the case, it is necessary to provide additional, more visible identification. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 29 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. The Radio Remote Control system and all components are to be shipped and maintained according to the following environmental parameters and conditions:

AUTEC LIUAIR004_eng-00 30 6 Installation 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. 6.1 Applications An Autec Air series' Radio Remote Control can be used for several applications: the Manufacturer must establish if the Radio Remote Control is suitable for each different application, with specific regard to safety. The Air series is most frequently used for hoisting Machines and Machines for the handling of materials, objects, general loads (by way of example: overhead cranes, hoisting cranes) when permitted according to the instructions contained in this Manual. Make sure that the application's requirements are compatible with the "(Typical) Working range" value (see chapter "Frequencies" in "Part B" of the Manual). Be aware that such value may vary (see paragraph 4.1). 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. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 31 In addition to the above, Air series' Radio Remote Controls cannot be installed:
- On Machines that are intended for the use in environments requiring explosion-proof features or in any Radio Remote Control usage situation that may pose the risk of explosion
- On Machines for moving, raising and transporting people, if the Machine's characteristics and their related risks and/or the risks related to the use of a Radio Remote Control do not make it possible for the Machine Manufacturer to ensure that all the safety requirements are met. Such requirements must be taken into account when designing and manufacturing the Machine, also bearing in mind that a Radio Remote Control will be used. The Machine Manufacturer may allow the installation and use of the Radio Remote Control on such applications under their own responsibility
- 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 LIUAIR004_eng-00 32 6.2 Staff training: installation and maintenance All installation and maintenance operations relating to the Autec Radio Remote Control system must be carried out ONLY by 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 installed
- 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. 6.3 Classification of commands This paragraph describes the classification of commands in the Radio Remote Control: such information is useful during installation and maintenance. 6.3.1 Type of command: analogue or digital Commands sent by the Transmitting Unit can either be analogue or digital. 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. 6.3.2 Name of commands All commands sent by the Transmitting Unit are identified with abbreviations such as S0, S1, S2, S3, 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. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 33 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 LIUAIR004_eng-00 34 6.4.2 Mounting and fastening the Receiving Unit in the best position Place the Receiving Unit so as to avoid damage due to incidental contact. Place the Receiving Unit so that it can be easily reached in case of need. 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. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 35 6.4.3 Positioning the antenna 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 WARNING: If it is not possible to abide by the above-mentioned indications, use the appropriate extension kit for the antenna. This kit is not available for the HACRP8 (Model RPD) Receiving Unit. If you use the antenna extension kit, stick to the following warning. AUTEC LIUAIR004_eng-00 36 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 YES NO YES LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 37 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 be connected using an omni polar switch with a switch-contact gap of at least 3 mm, that allows power supply disconnection during installation, wiring and/or maintenance operations. 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. Receiving units powered with AC and exposed to transient overvoltages exceeding those of overvoltage category II, require additional protections that must be provided outside of the Receiving units themselves. The Receiving Unit's relay outputs are designed to control high current loads. Contacts of those outputs are protected by means of over-voltage suppressors
(varistors), to ensure the maximum lifetime of relays in most applications. AUTEC LIUAIR004_eng-00 38 Suppressors connected in parallel with contacts of commands' relays may conflict with the connection to a high-impedance load (by way of example:
some PLCs); please contact Autec to perform correct installation. Loads connected to the relay outputs must ensure the minimum power, voltage and current value that the contacts can switch (minimum values are provided in the Installation Manual). Connect an additional load to the outputs if necessary. If a Receiving Unit's output (be it a solid state output or the contact of a relay) is connected to a DC 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. Outputs of solid state commands shall never be connected to a power supply positive or negative pole. Such connection could damage the outputs. 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. Group the wiring away from the radio module, in order to avoid interferences and hazards related to electrical safety. Keep wiring cables at hazardous voltage (sources of class 3 electrical energy
(ES3)) physically separated from those at extra low voltage (sources of class 1 electrical energy (ES1)). Refer to standards IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60204-32 for their voltage values. 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. Inspect the Radio Remote Control's wiring and remember that if the output dedicated to the Machine's horn, siren or blinker is used for another command due to application's and/or functional reasons, some procedures in the Configuration Menu may result unavailable later on. To wire the terminals corresponding to the commands' outputs, to the STOP outputs and to the SAFETY outputs, it is recommended to use a slot screwdriver with a tip size of 3.5x0.4mm. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 39 6.4.5 At the end of installation 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 as indicated in "Part D" of the Instruction Manual. 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. 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. 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.. AUTEC LIUAIR004_eng-00 40 7 Safety 7.1 Risk assessment for radio remote controlled Machines 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.
- 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. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 41 7.2 Delay in command response time Under normal conditions, the delay between the activation/deactivation of a command in the Transmitting Unit and the activation/deactivation of the corresponding output in the Receiving Unit requires the "(Typical) Command response time" indicated in the Technical Data (see paragraph 4.5). With poor radio link (by way of example: EM interference, exceeded working range) this delay may protract up to the "Cut in time of the automatic stop function (ATS)"
indicated in the Technical Data (see paragraph 4.5). For the SAFETY outputs only, a further delay of at least 1 second adds to that 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. 7.3 Inadvertent activation of commands 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. AUTEC LIUAIR004_eng-00 42 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. For further information see paragraph 4.4. If a command is activated and/or deactivated due to failure, carry out the following procedure:
1. Press the GSS or EMS 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. 7.5 Latching functions Latching functions possibly available on the Radio Remote Control cannot be used for Machine's hazardous functions because they are never safety functions. These latching functions are available on the Radio Remote Control only upon request by the Machine Manufacturer and/or Installer, who has/have the responsibility to check if they are appropriate for a safe use of the Machine. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 8 Instructions for the User 43 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. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC The User must not:
45
- 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. 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 LIUAIR004_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 GSS or EMS 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). LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 47 8.2.2 During normal operation Pay attention to the entire work area. Immediately press the GSS or the EMS 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. 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. If the Transmitting Unit has a "Key ID 0-1", always store it in a safe place each time it is removed. If this key is lost, the Radio Remote Control cannot work, since the Transmitting Unit needs the address stored in the key to work with its Receiving Unit. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. AUTEC LIUAIR004_eng-00 48 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). Environmental working conditions are given in the following table.

AUTEC LIUAIR004_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. 9.2 Routine maintenance 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/placing 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. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 51 9.2.1 Daily routine maintenance Before starting to work:

- 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. 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
- Check that the contact of the SAFETY relay is open when no movement command has been sent. This is safety critical maintenance: it is necessary to keep a record (date, signature, comments) showing that this check has been regularly carried out. Keep the record together with other installation documents.
- Make sure that all the relay contacts of the Receiving Unit operate correctly, and check that the contact closes when the corresponding manoeuvre is enabled and opens when the manoeuvre is disabled.
- Start up the Radio Remote Control and check in the Receiving Unit that the contacts of STOP relays close. Then, press the GSS or EMS pushbutton and check in the Receiving Unit that the contacts of the STOP relays open. Before testing the STOP relays, make sure that no dangerous situations may arise due to the closing of the STOP relay contacts of the Receiving Unit. AUTEC LIUAIR004_eng-00 52 9.3 Special maintenance 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. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 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. 53 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:
Type of connection Grease check frequency Re-greasing frequency Connector for external antenna every 4-6 months If dirt and impurities are found Receiving Unit's plug every 4-6 months If dirt and impurities are found Connectors for cable control of Transmitting Unit and of Receiving Unit 1 month Contacts of Transmitting Unit, battery charger and battery weekly Key ID 0-1 weekly If dirt and impurities are found, and once a year anyway If dirt and impurities are found, and once every three months 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. AUTEC LIUAIR004_eng-00 54 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. 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). Actuator Max. operations Actuator Max. operations 5x106 5x106 3x106 5x106 106 6x106 LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 55 Actuator Max. operations Actuator Max. operations 106 5x106 5x104 25x104 105 9.5.2 Relays Relays are electromechanical components that wear out with use. It is possible to evaluate a relay's electrical endurance, expressed as its number of cycles (one cycle = one activation and de-activation), depending on the applied load and on its usage current. When such number of cycles is reached, it is recommended to replace the board that includes the relay. This replacement must be carried out by the Maintenance Technician and prevents possible failure and dangerous situations (by way of example: failed deactivation of a command when the corresponding actuator is released). For AC loads, the relay's electrical endurance varies from a minimum of 104 cycles (at the maximum current and voltage indicated in the Technical Data Sheet) to a maximum of 106 cycles (at 10% of the maximum current indicated in the Technical Data Sheet). For DC loads, the relay's guaranteed electrical endurance is equal to 104 cycles
(at the maximum current and voltage indicated in the Technical Data Sheet). AUTEC LIUAIR004_eng-00 56 10 Troubleshooting If the Radio Remote Control does not work correctly, carry out the following preliminary checks:
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. 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. LIUAIR004_eng-00 AUTEC 57 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 the Radio Remote Control needs to be stored after it has been decommissioned, follow the directions provided in chapter 5. If the Radio Remote Control needs to be dismantled after it has been decommissioned, follow the directions provided in paragraph 11.2. 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.
