1. INTRODUCTION The Twister 2X is a highly sophisticated industrial radio remote control system. The versatile features of Twister 2X permit its usage in a wide range of industrial applications. The system can be used to control all types of industrial cranes, tower cranes, building construction equipment, automatic control systems, mining equipment, and many others.
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The Twister 2X system is relatively simple to use. However, it is very important to observe the proper safety procedures before, during, and after operation. When use properly the Twister 2X systems will enhance productivity and efficiency in the workplace. The following instructions should be strictly followed: 1. Make a daily check of the transmitter casing, joysticks and pushbuttons.
3. SYSTEM FUNCTIONS 3.1 Transmitter Joystick Descriptions All transmitter units are equipped with two joysticks, in single or double axis configurations.
3.2 Transmitter Pushbutton Descriptions There are many different types of pushbuttons and switches available for the Twister 2X, please refer to the chart below.
3.3 General Function Descriptions Emergency Stop Button (Standard Equipped) In case of an emergency, press down the red emergency stop button (EMS) will immediately deactivates the transmitter power and the receiver safety MAIN contact relays (refer to section 4.1 on page 7). Transmitter Power Key (Standard Equipped) All transmitters are equipped with two detachable power keys (one for spare) for turning the transmitter power “on” and “off” (refer to section 4.1 on page 7).

6. SYSTEM SETTINGS 6.1 Transmitter ID Code Settings Transmitter ID code are set via an 8-position dip-switch located on the encoder board (refer to fig. 4 on page 8). For receiver ID code settings please refer to section 6.3 & 6.4. Example: ID code → 10010110 Top location : “1” Bottom location : “0” Note: When transmitter ID code is altered please also make sure to readjust the receiver ID code accordingly. System will not operate if the ID code on both the transmitter and receiver are different. 6.

Receiver Central CPU Status LCD Display Some of the system status indications described on page 17 are also displayed on the receiver LCD screen for easy readout (screen “2”).
8. RECEIVER INSTALLATION 8.1 Preparation 1. 2. Required Tools: 1) Flat Head Screwdriver (- ) 2) Phillips Head Screwdriver (+) 3) Multi-Meters 4) 14 mm Wrench X 2 5) Power Drill with 10.5 ~ 11mm Drill-Bit 6) Output Cables Ensure receiver is not set to the same frequency channel and ID code as any other units in use at the same facility or within distance of 300 meters. 3. Prior to installation, make sure that the crane system itself is working properly. 4.
8.3 System Testing 1. Connect the power source to the receiver and test the operation of each function to ensure it operates in the same manner as the pendant controller. 2. Ensure the MAIN contact relay can be properly controlled by the remote control. 3. Ensure the limit switches on the crane that limit all travels are working properly. 4. Ensure the pendant controller is located in a safe location where it would not interfere with remote operation.
9. OPERATING INSTRUCTION 9.1 Power “ON” the System 1. Insert the transmitter power key into the key-switch slot located on the right side of the transmitter belly box. 2. Push the transmitter power key inward and then rotate it clockwise to “1” position. “1” → “ON” “0” → “OFF” 3. Make sure both joysticks are in their neutral (0-speed) position when transmitter power is turned “on”.
9.2 Dual Hoist/Trolley Operation For system with dual hoist/trolley operation, use the 3-stage mechanical selector switch located between the two joysticks (refer to diagram below) to select which hoist and/or trolley to operate. At position “I”, the main hoist and/or trolley are activated. At position “II”, the auxiliary hoist and/or trolley are activated. At position “I+II”, both main and auxiliary hoists and/or trolleys are activated with simultaneous travel movement.

10.BATTERY CHARGING 1. Plug in the power cord and the power indicator will light up. 2. When a battery pack is inserted, the green charging light will blink to indicate charging is taking place at the current moment. 3. If discharging of battery pack is desired (strongly recommended for 600mA NiCd battery pack), press the “DISCHARGE” button. At discharging mode, the green blinking light will now turned into a constant red light indicating that the battery pack is now being discharged.
