General operating instructions 8.8 33 ID internal tx memory The "ID internal tx memory" is a key containing the address that is used to code messages exchanged between the Transmitting Unit and the Receiving Unit. This key, if present, is inside the Transmitting Unit.
8.9 General operating instructions Zero-G sensor The Transmitting Unit is equipped with a Zero-G sensor only upon request of the Machine Manufacturer and/or of the Installer, who are responsible for the decision on the conditions for the Zero-G sensor to activate. The Zero-G sensor can activate for one or more of the following causes: -- Impact: the Zero-G sensor activates when the Transmitting Unit impacts with at least a 30-centimetre movement and with an acceleration higher than 2g.
General operating instructions 8.11 35 Starting up the Radio Remote Control Starting up the Radio Remote Control consists in establishing a radio link between the Transmitting Unit and the Receiving Unit. The Radio Remote Control start up is protected by means of a power keyswitch and/or a PIN code to prevent unauthorised use of the Machine. To start up the Radio Remote Control, you need to insert the power keyswitch and\or to key in the PIN code according to the procedure provided in paragraph 8.11.
General operating instructions 8.11.2 PIN code start up (no power keyswitch) When the Receiving Unit is correctly powered on, perform the following procedure; press each pushbutton within 3 seconds after releasing the previous one: 1. Insert a charged battery in the Transmitting Unit (see paragraph 8.7.1), 2. press the "Enabling&Stop" pushbutton halfway (ON - first step, see paragraph 8.6), 3. press the START pushbutton and hold it down until the green LED illuminates, 4.
General operating instructions 37 8.11.3 power keyswitch and PIN CODE start up When the Receiving Unit is correctly powered on, perform the following procedure; press each pushbutton within 3 seconds after releasing the previous one: 1. Insert a charged battery in the Transmitting Unit (see paragraph 8.7.1), 2. insert the power keyswitch in the Transmitting Unit (see paragraph 8.1.3), 3. press the "Enabling&Stop" pushbutton halfway (ON - first step, see paragraph 8.6), 4.
General operating instructions 8.11.4 Procedure to modify the PIN code If a PIN code is needed for the Transmitting Unit, it can be modified to limit the use of the Radio Remote Control. To modify the PIN code, perform the following procedure with the Transmitting Unit switched off and the STOP pushbutton released. 1. Press the "Enabling&Stop" pushbutton halfway (ON - first step, see paragraph 8.6). 2.
General operating instructions 39 8.14.1 Low battery The Transmitting Unit indicates if the battery is not sufficiently charged. -- the red LED blinks slowly (one blink per second): the battery has less than 1h run time. -- The red LED blinks fast: the battery has a 10 minute run time from the first signal, after which the Transmitting Unit automatically switches off. The battery needs to be replaced with a charged one (see paragraph 8.7). 8.14.
8.16 General operating instructions "Data Feedback" function The "Data Feedback" function acts through the LED array or the display. The User receives information and/or signals concerning some particular situations and the movements of the controlled Machine by means of this function. During normal Radio Remote Control operation, pay particular attention to the indications displayed and signalled by the display or through the LEDs: they can be helpful to evaluate the Machine working status.
General operating instructions 8.17 41 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 can no longer be used; the only difference is the presence of the plate “BACK-UP UNIT” on the battery housing. Set DIP switch 2 in the "BACK-UP UNIT" as shown in the Technical Data Sheet.
