- Only qualified personnel who are familiar with the product and who have read
these safety instructions should install TELECRANE products.
- Before installing or operating this product, read this manual thoroughly. If you
have any questions, please contact ITL.
- All sources of power to the crane or controlled equipment must be de-energized
and locked out before installing the unit.
- Before installing the receiver, energize it in a controlled environment (such as an
office) where it can be tested and set up properly before it is mounted in the field.
If it does not work exactly as intended, fix the problem and test it again.
- Before installation, be certain to understand the electrical functioning of the crane
or equipment, including the sequence and relationship of motions and contactors.
- Fall prevention devices should be used when anyone is working at an elevated
height.
- The receiver must be securely attached and located where it will not be hit by any
moving part of the building, crane, or load.
- The crane or hoist must be equipped with limit switches for each motion and a
main power contactor that cuts off all power to the motors of the crane when it is
de-energized.
- Special care must be taken for magnets and other load-carrying devices to ensure
that if the crane is de-energized the load remains supported.
- The receiver must be located so that it receives sufficient signal strength from the
transmitter.
- Operating any piece of equipment in an industrial facility can be dangerous;
therefore, adequate training will need to be provided to operators of cranes or
other equipment that uses a TELECRANE product.
- At least once each shift, check the amount of power remaining in the transmitter
batteries. If it is low, change both batteries before beginning operation.
Operating the unit with excessively discharged batteries can be unsafe.
- The safety key should be removed from the transmitter whenever it is not in use
and should only be issued to authorized personnel.
- All TELECRANE Radio Remote Controls are tested before they leave the
factory. However, they should not be used in dangerous situations or in a manner
such that damage might result.
- Although the transmitter is very durable and weather-resistant, precautions should
always be taken to limit its exposure to weather, physical impact, and corrosives.
- After use, or if the unit will not be used for a long interval, turn off power to the
crane or equipment and remove the safety key from the transmitter.
