23 8.6 Command meaning Commands on the Unit are specified according to the Machine's operations and functions. Their presence and functions are decided and defined by the Machine Manufacturer, who chooses the symbol conventions too. The control devices described below, when present, perform the following functions (usually the symbol conventions are as in the images). 8.6.
4 8.6.3 MOVEMENT SPEED SELECTOR This switch is used to modify the speed of the Machine movements. Depending on the configuration: - It sets two or three speed levels. - It increases or decreases speed. The levels and the speed increase and decrease are chosen by the Machine Manufacturer. Symbol Meaning Depending on the configuration, this symbol indicates: - the normal speed of the Machine movements or - the increase of speed of the Machine movements.
25 8.6.5 Command TAKE The TAKE command may be present in the Transmitting Units of a Take & Release Radio Remote Control. The TAKE command enables to take control of the Receiving Unit, if it is free. 8.6.6 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.
26 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. 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.
27 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.
28 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.
29 The battery run time signalled by the Transmitting Unit is reduced by the following factors: - Battery ageing - Increasing number of battery charge-discharge cycles - Battery usage outside the range provided in paragraph "Operational usage" in "Part A" of the Manual. - Battery storage in disregard of the indications given in paragraph "Storage" in the instruction manual for the use and maintenance of the battery and battery charger. 8.13.
30 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.
31 8.15.2 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.
32 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.
9.1 33 Usage restrictions 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. Do not expose the Transmitting Unit to strong magnetic fields, as they may affect the correct operation of the Unit (its immunity level is provided in chapter 4). 9.
34 - Make sure that the Machine reacts correctly to the commands activated by the Autec Radio Remote Control. - Not perform any operation if the tests mentioned in the previous two points did not give positive results. - Make sure that the Radio Remote Control operation and the consequent Machine movement occur in safety conditions, to prevent hazards to people and/or property.
9.3 35 Belt or harness The Unit always comes with a waist belt or a shoulder harness: the User must mount the belt or the harness on the Transmitting Unit and use it as described in paragraph 9.3.1 or 9.3.2. Replace the belt or harness if it is damaged or worn. 9.3.
36 Use The User must wear the Radio Remote Control with the belt as shown in the photo below, to avoid its fall, loss, loss of control, accidental contact and improper use. If the Transmitting Unit and the belt are used in a different way from the one described in the above mentioned figure, this constitutes improper use and may lead to damage to the Transmitting Unit, to the User, to people and/or property.

39 Use The User must wear the Radio Remote Control with the belt as shown in the photo below, to avoid its fall, loss, loss of control, accidental contact and improper use. If the Transmitting Unit and the belt are used in a different way from the one described in the above mentioned figure, this constitutes improper use and may lead to damage to the Transmitting Unit, to the User, to people and/or property.
40 11 Malfunction signalled by the Transmitting Unit 11.1 Red LED and green LED The table below lists malfunctions that are signalled by LEDs on the Transmitting Unit and the solution to those malfunctions. If the problem persists after attempting the suggested solution, contact the support service of the Machine Manufacturer. Signals The green LED blinks fast. The red LED blinks for 3.5 minutes.
41 Signals Possible reasons At Radio Remote Control start up, the green LED is on and the red LED emits one long blink and some short blinks. At least one of the actuators corresponding to digital commands D2-D20 is activated. At Radio Remote Control start up, the green LED is on and the red LED emits two long blinks and some short blinks. At least one of the actuators corresponding to analogue commands A1-A8 is activated.
42 11.2 Identifying the activated command If the green LED is illuminated, at least one of the commands A1-A8, D2-D20, H1-H8 and L1-L8 is activated during the Radio Remote Control start up. You can identify the activated command by observing the long blinks followed by short blinks emitted by the red LED, as described in the table below.
