3.5 Specific warnings for the installation of the receiving unit
IEC60204
Pursuant to section 9.2.7.5 of the IEC60204-1 (and IEC60204-32), installation of two
different lamps (or horns) in the receiving units, connected to the dedicated terminals
ENA-M and ENA-S (as explained in the technical data sheet) is recommended.
These two signal devices indicate the working status of the receiving units (see
chapter 4 for the “Master/Slave” system and chapter 5 for the “Master/Master” sys-
tem).
Wiring
The installer must carry out wiring and/or check that this one assures correct operation of the
machines working together.
Wiring is fundamental for the system to operate in a correct and safe way, as it
is for all radio remote controls with different receiving units. In some cases wir-
ing could be the only way to implement any possible measure for risk reduction.
For example, given the possibility to use the same commands in different receiving units on dif-
ferent machines or parts of a machine, it is fundamental to carry out appropriate wiring to im-
plement any possible measure for risk prevention, reduction and signalling in the various
situations.
Radio link
Install the two receiving units and their antennas so that the radio link is facili-
tated.
- minimum distance between the two units or antennas must be more than 3
meters
- maximum distance between the two units or antennas must be shorter than
twice the typical working range of the radio remote control
Alignment
control
While operating in tandem mode, if unusual adverse conditions occur (such as electromagnetic
disturbance, interferences or failure and disconnection) a transmitting unit could lose radio link
with only one of the two receiving units. Correct installation of the two receiving units reduces
considerably likelihood that such a situation occurs because of radioelectrical causes.
A “Master/Slave” or “Master/Master” system does non assure alignment be-
tween the remote controlled machines: if required in the risk analysis, it must be
installed an alignment control system that intervenes properly.
3.6 Warnings for the maintenance of the receiving unit
Ensure that the receiving unit has been disconnected from the power source be-
fore carrying out any maintenance work.
Any failures should be repaired by authorised Autec personnel using original Au-
tec spare parts only.
In order to work with a unit that is always efficient and safe, it is necessary to carry out correctly
maintenance work (see chapter 7).
