1 CONFORMITY DECLARATION KCI Hoists corp. Ruununmyllyntie 13 FIN-13210 Hämeenlinna. Finland NIF A-20-036.018 Phone: +358 (0)20 427 11 FAX: +358 (0)20 427 3399 And in its name, Mr. Ari Kiviniitty, Managing Director, declares, conscious of complete responsibility, that the product Remote Control KCI Hoists Corp.
2 DESCRIPTION The RADS11 and RADF13 push-button transmitter type, radio remote control systems, are designed for the remote control of hoists and cranes, and are particularly suitable for applications when the operator needs to be able to choose the best location from which to carry out an operation. The system consists of a transmitter for selecting commands and a receiver which is connected to the electrical system of the machine to be operated.
3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS These instructions must be read carefully in order to install and use the set properly and to keep it in perfect working condition and to reduce the risks of misuse. Do not use this set on machines for the lifting of persons or in potentially explosive atmospheres. Any use other than that specified in this manual is dangerous. The following instructions must be strictly adhered to.
Never allow unqualified personnel to operate the equipment. After use, never leave the equipment ON. Always use the contact key or the STOP button to avoid accidentally activating manoeuvres. Do not use the set when visibility is limited. Avoid knocking or dropping the set. Do not use the set if failure is detected. 4 INSTALLATION 4.1 The BC60K battery charger Connect the charger to the mains using the power source and the cable supplied. The red LED, in the middle, should light up indicating power ON.
4.2 Receiver Make sure that the crane is stopped for the entire duration of the assembly process, keep the work area free and wear protective clothing. Park the crane and position stop-ends (if these are not available use appropriate signs) at a suitable distance so that it is not hit by other cranes on the same runway. Check the power-supply voltage and turn off the mains switch.
Figure 3 Receiver to Power Electric Circuit connection Connect the power supply and the receiver outputs on the corresponding relay board plug-in terminals. Do this following the outputs diagram which is supplied with the set. This diagram indicates the correspondence between the transmitter commands and the receiver outputs. The KSTOP1 and KSTOP2 relays are in series and must be connected to the main contactor coil circuit. The K2/START is activated once the start-up command is held down.
Figure 4 Receiver’s RAD-RS outputs Remember to connect the ground cable. Only use fireproof cables for connections. Select the appropriate voltage on the receiver, (115 or 48 Vac).

4.3 Starting-up Proceed with caution; the equipment may not be connected correctly which may lead to unforeseeable movements on starting-up. Once the receiver has been connected, disconnect the power supply to the motors, (for example, by removing the fuses) and power on the receiver. The receiver will enter into the SCANNING mode while the own transmitter is off. The following receiver LEDs should now light up: SIGNAL: POWER: HARDOK: ID: DATA: OFF if all radio channels in the band are free.
On receiving a signal from the transmitter, the receiver will enter into de WORKING mode. The following LEDs will light up on the receiver: SIGNAL: POWER: HARDOK: ID: DATA: Flashing ON, indicating that it is receiving an RF signal at the working frequency. (Now temporary ON fix). ON, indicating that the power supply is correct. ON, indicating the absence of defects on the board. Flashing ON each time a good frame is received with ID correct.
4.4 Spurious The receiver is designed to become blocked if there is intense spurious disturbance arising from galvanic, inductive, or capacitive coupling, thus preventing unwanted manoeuvres. As a precautionary measure, it is recommended that spurious-preventing devices (diodes, capacitors, RC circuits) be fitted at the source of the disturbance. These devices should be connected directly to the contactor coil terminals, etc. and can be obtained from the usual contactor suppliers.
5 USE To ensure correct use of the equipment, follow the instructions below: Make sure the transmitter you are going to use is the right one, identifying the machine on the identification label. Attach the strap to the transmitter unit. Its use is recommended to prevent the equipment from falling. Introduce a charged battery, turn the contact key and activate the transmitter.
6 HOW TO ACCESS TO THE CRANE CONDITION MONITORING UNIT IN RADF13 SYSTEM. SERVICE MODE. 6.1 General Description of Service Mode For RADF13 systems, there are a special “Service Mode” of operation for maintenance and set up the Crane Monitoring Unit PREMIUM via radio. This unit is connected to the receiver RAD-RF by a serial data communication CL20mA.
While the system is in service mode the “envelope” icon in the display will be switched ON. (Figure 8). Figure 8 LCD Display in Service Mode 6.3 Keys for moving within the Menus. The keys for moving within the menu are the following (Figure 9): ♦ UP: Button that simulate the Up Key. Up button. ▲ ♦ DOWN: Button that simulate the Down Key. Down button. ▼ ♦ ESC: Button that simulate the Esc Key. Left button. ◄ ♦ ENTER: Button that simulate the Enter Key. Right button.
6.6 Exiting Service mode. There are two ways of exiting this mode. • Pressing the STOP button. (the transmitter will be switched OFF and the receiver will switch to standby mode). If the system is switched ON again and the system was switched OFF in a menu within the service mode, when receiving the new frames in normal operation, first of all the following message may appear: “EXITING SERVICE MODE”. The receiver will send as many Escape messages as needed to return to the load message.
7 MAINTENANCE 7.1 Guarantee The systems RADS11 / RADF13 remote control sets are guaranteed for a period of up to one year after the date of delivery. This guarantee covers repairs and the replacement of defective pieces at our Technical Service Department. Both the transmitter and receiver will be necessary if any repairs or replacements need to be carried out.
7.3 Preventive maintenance A few simple checks can bring to light certain defects which can later be the cause of subsequent break-downs and which can be readily rectified. We recommend the following checks to be made from time to time: Transmitter: Check the transmitter’s closing screws to make sure they are securely tightened. Check the rubber protection seals on the transmitter’s command buttons from time to time. Replace them if they are found to have deteriorated.
7.4.2 RECEIVER In WORKING mode, the 5 green LEDs should light as described in Starting-up procedure. If this is so, press the transmitter manoeuvre buttons and observe the response of the output relays. If the response is normal, the problem is not related to the remote control equipment and the installation must be checked. If any of the relays is not activated, the problem is associated with the remote control equipment.
