1. Introduction
The FLEX radio remote control systems are designed for control of industrial equipment and machinery
such as overhead traveling cranes, jib cranes, gantry cranes, tower cranes, electric hoists, winches, monorails,
conveyor belts, mining equipment and other material handling equipment where wireless control is preferred.
Each FLEX system consists of a transmitter handset and receiver unit. Other standard-equipped
accessories include transmitter waist belt, spare transmitter power key, clear vinyl pouch, “AA” alkaline
batteries, compass direction decal sheet and user’s manual.
List of notable features include:
62 user-programmable channels – Advanced synthesized RF controls with 62 built-in channels, no
more fixed channel and fragile quartz crystals to break.
Automatic channel scanning receiver – No more hassle of climbing up the crane to change receiver
channels.
Over one million unique ID codes (20bit) – Each and every Flex system has its own unique ID codes
and serial number, never repeats.
Advanced controls – The Flex system utilizes advanced microprocessor controls with 32bit CRC and
Hamming Code, which provide ultra fast, safe, precise, and error-free encoding and decoding.
Unique I-CHIP design – The I-CHIP functions in a way that is very similar to SIM card used on
mobile phones, with the ability to transfer system information and settings from one transmitter to
another without the hassle of resetting the spares.
Reliable push buttons – The in-house designed push buttons with gold-plated contacts are rated for
more than one million press cycles.
Low power consumption – Requires only two “AA” Alkaline batteries for more than 150 hours of
operating time between replacements.
Ultra-durable nylon and fiberglass composite enclosures – Highly resistance to breakage and
deformation even in the most abusive environments.
Full compliance – All systems are fully complied with the FCC Part-15 Rules, European Directives
(Safety, EMC, R&TTE, Machinery) and Industry Canada Specifications (IC).

2. Radio Controlled Safety
Flex radio remote control system should be operated by persons with sufficient amount of knowledge
and skill in crane operation and safety. Persons being trained to operate a radio remote controlled crane should
possess the knowledge of all hazards peculiar to radio remote controlled crane operation, ability to judge
distance and moving objects, equipment capacity and radio remote controlled safety rules. Radio remote
controlled cranes should not be operated by any person with insufficient eyesight, hearing, illness, and under
influence of drugs and medications that may cause loss of crane control.
Below are some general operating safety tips that should be strictly followed when operating a radio
remote controlled crane.
1.
Prior to crane operation always check the transmitter handset for any damage that might inhibit proper
crane operation.
2.
Always check if the red emergency stop button is working properly prior to crane operation.
3.
Check the Status LED on the transmitter for any signs of low battery power (refer to page 37).
4.
Check the Status LED on the transmitter for any signs of irregularities (refer to page 37).
5.
The crane limit switches should be checked prior to crane operation or at the beginning of each shift.
When checking limit switches the hoist should be centered over an area free of personnel and
equipment.
6.
If the power to the crane is removed, the operator should turn off the transmitter power immediately
until the power to the crane is restored.
7.
If the crane fails to respond properly to operator’s command the operator should stop operation, turn
the transmitter power off, and then report the condition to their supervisor.
8.
The transmitter power should be turned off after each use. If the transmitter handset is not in use always
turn the power off and stored it in a safe or designated location. Never leave the transmitter handset
unattended in the working area.
9.
Make sure the system is not set to the same channel as any other Flex systems in use within a distance
of 300 meters (900 feet).
10.
Never operate a crane or equipment with two transmitter handsets at the same time unless they are
programmed with “Pitch & Catch” function. For information on the “Pitch & Catch” feature, please
refer to page 25 and page 36 of this manual.
CAUTION
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS PLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

(Fig. 07)
Set the transmitter channel by adjusting the channel dip-switch located on the backside of the transmitter
encoder board (refer to Fig. 07 above). Only the first six (6) positions are used for channel programming
(refer to Fig. 08 below). The system channels table located on page 30 illustrates which dip-switch
setting corresponds to which channel. Once the transmitter channel is altered do make sure to change
receiver channel as well. The channel on both transmitter and receiver must be identical in order for
system to work. To change receiver channel please refer to page 21.
Top slot → “1”
Example:
(Fig. 08)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Bottom slot → “0”
The above dip-switch setting “1 0 0 1 0 0” corresponds to “channel 36” in the system channels table on
page 30.

3. Channel Change via Push Buttons
Other than CHANNEL dip-switch on the encoder board, the transmitter channel can also be changed
directly on the push buttons. Please refer to the instruction below on how to change transmitter channel
via push buttons.
a.
Press and hold PB1, PB2 and PB3 and rotate the power key to START position at the same time. A
series of green and red blinks will appear on the Status LED showing the current channel setting. A
green blink represents the tens (+10) and a red blink represents the units (+1).
Examples: 2 green blinks followed by 5 red blinks represents channel 25.
6 red blinks represents channel 06.
b.
Select new channel by pressing PB1 and PB2 on the transmitter. Press PB1 to increment the units
(+1) and PB2 to increment the tens (+10).
Examples: Press PB2 two times and then PB1 four times will give you channel 24.
Press PB1 nine times with give you channel 09.
c.
When finished, the newly selected channel will appear on the Status LED via series of green and
red blinks again.
d.
Exit the channel programming by turning off the transmitter power.
e.
Make sure the receiver channel is set identical to the transmitter. Please refer to page 21 and page
36 on how to change receiver channel.
f.
Please note that when the CHANNEL dip-switch inside the transmitter is changed, the priority will
revert back to the new channel set on the CHANNEL dip-switch.
g.
Please note that when channel is set beyond channel 62 via PB1 and PB2 (i.e. channel 63, 68, 88,
etc…), the system will recognize it as channel 62.
Page 18
4. Program 4-digit Security Code
Prior to rotating the transmitter power key-switch to START position to begin operation, you must first
enter a 4-digit security code in order to proceed further. When this 4-digit security code is input correctly
after turning on the transmitter power, a green light will appear on the Status LED... proceed to START
activation. If this 4-digit security code is input incorrectly, an orange light will appear on the Status
LED… system locked. If this occurs, then you must reset the e-stop button and input the correct 4-digit
code. Please refer to the instruction below on how to program the 4-digit security code.
a.
Press and hold PB1, PB2, PB3 and PB4 and rotate the power key to START position at the same
time.
b.
A constant orange light will appear on the Status LED telling you that you are in the security code
programming mode.
c.
For newly purchased system with the security code function deactivated (default setting), press
PB1 four times (1111) to activate the security code function. At this time the Status LED on the
transmitter will blink orange slowly telling you that the 4 digits entered is correct. Then select your
own 4-digit security code by pressing PB1, PB2, PB3 or PB4 on the transmitter (four presses
randomly). At this time a fast orange blinks is displayed on the Status LED telling you to
reconfirm the 4-digit security code you have just entered. A green light will appear once you have
re-entered the same 4-digit security code again (programming completed). If red light is shown on
the Status LED after you have re-entered the security code (incorrect input), then you must reset
the transmitter power and then repeat step a, b and c again.
Steps: Press and hold PB1~PB4 and rotate power key to START position → constant orange →
press PB1 four times (for new systems) or 4-digit security code → slow orange blinks → enter the
new 4-digit security code → fast orange blinks → re-enter the same 4-didgit security code again
→ green light.
d.
If you wish to cancel the security code function, then repeat a, b, c above and press PB1 four times
as your new security code (security code function disabled).
e.
If you do not remember the 4-digit security code, then you must contact your dealer or distributor
for further assistance.

5. I-Chip
I-CHIP functioned in a way that is very similar to a SIM card inside a mobile phone, which stores
information such as your phone number, account number, phone book and other settings. I-CHIP works
exactly the same way, as it stores information such as system serial number/ID code, channel and push
button configurations.
When replacing a transmitter handset, just take the I-CHIP out of the old transmitter and install it into the
new one (refer to Fig. 11 below). The new transmitter handset will then operate according to the
information stored in the I-CHIP unless the settings on both Channel and Function dip-switch are
changed thereafter. Basically the microprocessor will operate according to the last setting change either
on I-CHIP or the dip-switches.
For safety purposes, system serial number/ID code stored inside the I-CHIP can not be changed directly
on the transmitter encoder board. Only channels and push button configurations can be changed directly
on the encoder board via Channel and Function dip-switches. There are only two ways that you can
change transmitter serial number/ID code; 1) via I-CHIP programming port located on the decoder
module inside the receiver unit, please refer to page 29 on how to program the I-CHIP (serial number/ID
code) via receiver unit; 2) via an external I-CHIP programmer or duplicator unit available from the
factory. Please ask your local dealers for assistance if your system requires serial number/ID code
adjustments.

EXT INT
(Fig. 12)
Even though Flex system is equipped with automatic channel scanning receiver, the user can also set
the receiver channel manually. Please refer to page 36 on how automatic channel scanning receiver
works.
Set the receiver channel by adjusting the channel dip-switch located on the receiver module (refer to
Fig. 12 above), only the first six (6) positions are used for channel programming (refer to Fig. 13
below). The system channels table located on page 30 illustrates which dip-switch setting corresponds
to which channel. Once the receiver channel is altered do make sure to change transmitter channel as
well. The channel on both transmitter and receiver must be identical in order for system to work. To
change transmitter channel please refer to page 9.

Example:
(Fig. 13)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Bottom slot → “0”
The above dip-switch setting “1 0 0 1 0 0” corresponds to “channel 36” in the system channels table
on page 30.

d. Magnet ON/OFF Push Button Function
The user can set any of the two adjacent push buttons on the transmitter to control a magnet. To
activate the magnet just press the push button with the Magnet symbol. To deactivate the magnet,
for safety purpose, you must first press and hold the Magnet push button and then press the OFF
push button. Press the OFF push button by itself can not deactivate the magnet (refer to page 26
on how to set to this function).

e.
Brake Function
When the transmitter push button is released from 2nd speed up to 1st speed, both 1st and 2nd
speed output relays will open for up to 1.0 second and then with 1st speed output relay closed
thereafter (refer to page 26 on how to set to this function).
f.
External Warning Function
The user can install an external warning device (rotating lights, horn, etc…) to a special
“Function output relay” located inside the receiver. The user can choose which push button pairs
or crane motions he desired to have external warnings when push button is pressed (refer to
page 26 on how to set to this function).
g. Momentary Contact
When push button is released the output relay corresponds to that push button will open (refer
to page 27 on how to set to this function). This type of contact is usually applies to external
application such as horns or buzzers.
h. Toggled Contact
When push button is released the output relay corresponds to that push button will remained
closed (maintained contact) until next time the user presses the same push button again (refer
to page 27 on how to set to this function). This type of contact is usually applies to external
application such as lights.
i.
3rd Speed Push Button Function
This function allows the crane to travel an additional step beyond 2nd speed. For example, if the
operator is pressing the “UP” push button down to 2nd speed, pressing the 3rd speed push button
(with “UP” push button still hold at 2nd speed) will toggle between 2nd speed and 3rd speed (refer
to page 27 on how to set to this function).

Auxiliary STOP Push Button Function (JP3 must be inserted)
The auxiliary STOP function acts as a 2nd emergency stop button. Other than by emergency
stop button and transmitter power key switch, the receiver MAIN is also deactivated when
this auxiliary stop push button is pressed (refer to page 27 on how to set to this function).
Aux
STOP
k. Pitch & Catch Function
This function allows two operators controlling one crane from opposite ends of a cross or long
travel (refer to page 27 on how to set to this function). When set to “Pitch & Catch” make sure
the 2nd transmitter is set to the next upper channel (channel X*+1). For example, if the system is
preset at “Ch.01” then the channel of the 2nd transmitter should be set to “Ch.02”. Furthermore,
the dip-switch position #7 and #8 on the receiving module should be set to “10”, this will allow
the receiver to scan only Ch.01 and Ch.02 (please refer to the illustration below). On the other
hand, since there are only 62 available channels on the Flex system, the system preset at channel
62 is ineffective because the 2nd transmitter can not be set to Ch.63. If your system is preset at
Ch.62 do make sure to change it to another channel.

4. Dip-Switch Settings
a. Interlocked Functions
Interlocked means the two adjacent push buttons can not be activated simultaneously at the same
time as it will cancel each other out. Interlocked settings are usually applied to crane’s forward and
reverse motions. Each dip-switch on the decoder module corresponds to one (1) motion or two (2)
adjacent push buttons (refer to Fig. 14 & 15 below). Only the first 7 dip-switch positions are used
(counting from left to right), the 8th dip-switch position (far right) is not used.

b. Non-Interlocked Functions
Contrary to interlocked settings, non-interlocked settings allow the two adjacent push buttons be
used simultaneously at the same time. Non-interlocked settings are usually applied to crane’s
auxiliary functions such as lights, horn, 3rd speed, auxiliary stop and Pitch & Catch. Each
dip-switch on the decoder module corresponds to one (1) motion or two (2) adjacent push
buttons (left & right push buttons).

6. I-Chip Programming Port
(Fig. 17)
I-CHIP programming port located on the decoder module (refer to Fig. 17 above) inside the receiver
is designed for the purpose of transferring system serial number/ID code either from I-CHIP to
receiver or from receiver to I-CHIP. If you wish to transfer system information from receiver to
I-CHIP, just insert the I-CHIP onto the programming port (JP6 jumper not inserted), wait until the
Status LED on the decoder module turned constant green (within 2 seconds), and then take the
I-CHIP out of the programming port (programming completed). At this time the I-CHIP should also
possess the same serial number/ID code as the receiver. If the Status LED on the decoder module
displayed a constant red light after inserting the I-CHIP (programming failed), then you must
reinsert the I-CHIP one more time. On the other hand, if you wish to transfer system information
from I-CHIP to receiver, then you must first insert JP6 jumper prior to inserting the I-CHIP, then
wait for the green light to appear on the Status LED. At this time the receiver should also possess
the same system information as the I-CHIP. Please note that the receiver unit must be powered in
order to proceed with the programming.

B. PRE-INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
1.
Make sure the transmitter and receiver are with identical serial number/ID code and channel.
2.
Make sure the receiver is not set to the same channel as any other systems in use in the
surrounding area.
3.
Make sure that the crane or equipment is working properly prior to installation.
4.
Make sure the power source to the receiver is set correctly.
5.
Switch off the main power source to the crane or equipment prior to installation.
C. STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION
(Fig. 19)
Page 32
1.
For best reception the location of the receiver should be visible to the operator at all time.
2.
The location selected should not be exposed to high levels of electric noise. Mounting the receiver
next to an unshielded variable frequency drive may cause minor interference. Always locate the
receiver as far away from variable frequency drive as possible.
3.
Ensure the selected location has adequate space to accommodate the receiver
(refer to Fig. 19 on page 32). If an external antenna is used, to avoid the
possibility of antenna damage always locate the receiver where the antenna is
free from any obstacles from all directions (refer to diagram at right).
4.
432 mm
When installing an external antenna you must connect the SMA jack located
inside the receiver and make sure to set the jumper to “EXT” position (refer
Control
Panel
to diagram below).
5.
For better reception, make sure the receiver is in an upright position.
6.
Drill two holes (10mm in diameter) on the control panel or location where the receiver is to be installed
(refer to Fig. 19 on page 32).
7.
Make sure the two bolts are tightened after installation.
8.
For system wiring please refer to page 31.
D. SYSTEM TESTING
1.
Turn on the power source to the receiver and test the MAIN relay output by pressing the red emergency
stop button and observe that it properly opens and closes the mainline disconnect contactor.
2.
Test the operation of each function to ensure it corresponds to the transmitter direction labels or the
pendent it is replacing.
3.
Test the limit switches (if any) to see if they are working properly.
4.
If your new remote control is replacing an existing pendant, make sure it is completely disconnected
and placed in a safe location to prevent unwanted control command.
