6.2 Pre-Installation Precautions
1. Make sure the transmitter and receiver have identical serial number/ID codes and channels.
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.
6.3 Step-By-Step Installation
1. For best reception the location of the receiver should be visible to the operator at all times.
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 the variable frequency drive
as possible.

3. Ensure the selected location has adequate space to accommodate
the receiver. 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. For better reception, make sure the receiver is in an upright position.
5. Drill four holes (8mm in diameter) on the control panel or location
where the receiver is to be installed.
6. Make sure the bolts are tightened after installation.
7. For system wiring please refer to section 6.1.
6.4 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 making sure 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 pendant 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 commands.
