Operating Instructions Radio Transmitter spectrum 3 M Page 12 / 22 BE-SP3M-V2-3.DOC [ Word 2000 ] FL/US 3.2 Special Operating Modes ( Optional ) Note : This chapter describes special operating modes that are not available with all crane systems. If your radio control system is not equipped with the features described, you may ignore the following and continue with the next chapter. 3.2.
Operating Instructions Radio Transmitter spectrum 3 M BE-SP3M-V2-4(FCC).doc [ Word 2000 ] FL/US/MB Option "Pitch – Catch" The "Pitch – Catch" operating mode allows two or more crane operators equipped with one transmitter each to independently use the same crane The crane is equipped with a radio receiver that can receive and monitor transmitter frequencies. After activating the receiver all transmitters have equal access to the control system. Crane receiver with 2 reception frequencies File: C_R-SP.
Operating Instructions Radio Transmitter spectrum 3 M Page 14 / 22 BE-SP3M-V2-3.DOC [ Word 2000 ] FL/US 3.2.3 Option Tandem Operation Tandem Operation T1 Parallel control of two cranes (2 receivers) on one radio frequency is possible with one radio transmitter using the option tandem operation "T1". The individual cranes can be controlled using the rotary switch on the transmitter (fig. right, bottom).
Operating Instructions Radio Transmitter spectrum 3 M Tandem Operation TM / TS Operation of two cranes is possible with two complete radio controls (2 transmitters, 2 receivers) using the option tandem operation "TM / TS", whereby one transmitter is a "master" and the other transmitter is a "slave". The radio transmitter key for crane B can also be used to switch over the transmitter for crane A to crane B. To do this, the following steps must be carried out : 1. 2. 3.
Operating Instructions Radio Transmitter spectrum 3 M Page 16 / 22 BE-SP3M-V2-3.DOC [ Word 2000 ] FL/US 3.2.4 Option infrakey infrakey is an additional infrared module for the transmitter and the receiver. Due to separate crane activation via infrared link it increases the safety of operation, i.e. the crane can not become inadvertently enabled. The range of the infrared beam is max. approx. 20 meters (66 feet) and the angle of radiation is 34°.
