Dynamic Series descriptionAUTEC Dynamic SeriesLIDYNE00-01.fm Part A: Description, warnings and instructionsA - 1ENGDYNAMIC SERIESPart A: Description, warnings and instructions1 Dynamic Series descriptionAutec Dynamic series industrialradio remote controls are used tocontrol machines from a dis-tance, without physical connec-tions (i.e. wires or connectingcables) between the user and themachine. Each of these industrial radio re-mote controls consists of a porta-ble transmitting unit, from whichthe user can remotely control themachine, and a receiving unit in-stalled on board the machine it-self.1.1 Technical dataCommand response time ................................................................................. 80 - 130 msActive stop cut-in time (typical) ............................................................................. < 130 msActive stop cut-in time (maximum)........................................................................... 200 msPassive stop cut-in time1 ............................................................................... 0.5 / 1.2 / 2 sHamming distance ........................................................................................................ ≥ 15Probability of undetected error.................................................................................. <10-15Typical working range ................................................................................... 100 m (330 ft)Working range with Low Power function.......................................................... 30 m (100 ft)Performance Level of safety functions according to EN ISO 13849-1 / EN IEC 62061:STOP protection .......................................................................

Dynamic Series Part A: Description, warnings and instructionsDynamic Series description A - 21.2 ApplicationsIn compliance with the risk assessment (see chapter 2), this radio remote controlcan be installed on hoisting and material handling machines and on machines formoving, raising and transporting people (i.e. hydraulic cranes, aerial work plat-forms, telehandlers, concrete pumps).This radio remote control cannot be installed:- on machines installed in places where equipment with explosion-proofcharacteristics is required- on machines where the receiving unit power supply does not come froma battery or from a power supply unit with safety isolating transformer- to control loads that are not isolated from AC power supply (if that is thecase)- on machines that may generate dangerous situations if they stop due tothe loss of radio link- on machines for which a risk assessment (see chapter 2) is not possibleor gave negative results.Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is installed on forbid-den applications.1.3 Radio linkThe two units constantly communicate with one another through a radio link. Thisis an essential requirement to ensure safety for the radio remote controlled ma-chine.Messages from the units are coded through an address stored in the S-KEY (seeparagraph 6.2). This address is unique (Autec produces it only once), univocal(specific for each radio remote control) and not reproducible. Each unit can onlydecode the messages coming from the unit with the same address. This preventsmessages from other radio equipment from activating any system function.The units send coded messages to one another:- messages sent by the transmitting unit contain operational commands to becarried out by the machine- messages sent by the receiving unit contain information useful for the auto-matic management of the working frequency and information about measure-ments collected from the machine (Data Feedback function).
Dynamic Series descriptionAUTEC Dynamic SeriesLIDYNE00-01.fm Part A: Description, warnings and instructionsA - 3ENG1.4 Classification of commandsCommands sent by the transmitting unit are classified according to their type.1.4.1 Command type: analogue, digital or direction commandCommands sent by the transmitting unit can either be analogue or digital.Analogue commands generate proportional outputs as a function of the positionof the corresponding actuator.Digital commands switch the status of their corresponding output, according tothe position of the related actuator. This status can either be on or off.Direction commands are digital commands paired with analogue commands, andare used to specify the movement direction.1.4.2 Name of commandsAll commands sent by the transmitting unit are identified by abbreviations, whichare also written in the technical data sheet to highlight the match between com-mands sent and machine functions. The names of outputs in the receiving unit are not the names of commands.Check the technical data sheet to know which name they were given.1.5 Safety functionsAutec radio remote controls are equipped with some functions that provide highsafety levels, in order to safeguard the safety of people and property.1.5.1 Stop function The stop function brings the machine to a safe state every time it is necessary tostop it due to a potentially hazardous situation. This function is either voluntarilyenabled by the user (active stop), as appropriate, or it cuts in automatically andautonomously (passive stop).Active stopActive stop is a function enabled by the STOP pushbutton (see paragraph 6.4).The transmitting unit sends to the receiving unit a command that immediatelystops the machine. When the STOP pushbutton is pressed, the machine stops inshorter time than when passive stop cuts in.Passive stopPassive stop is a function that cuts in when a fault occurs during operation. Whenthe radio link is incorrect or interrupted, the receiving unit autonomously stops theradio remote control. The cut-in time of this function (passive stop cut-in time) isset by the machine manufacturer (see technical data sheet).
Dynamic Series Part A: Description, warnings and instructionsDynamic Series description A - 41.5.2 Protection against unintended movements from the standstill posi-tion (UMFS)This safety function protects the system “machine+radio remote control” from un-intended movements, namely machine movements not activated intentionally bythe user, but resulting from possible electrical and mechanical failure of the radioremote control.Such safety function checks the neutral (rest) position of the actuators that controlthe machine's movements. Each time one of those actuators is operated, thetransmitting unit sends both the movement command and the “SAFETY” com-mand. Depending on the specific application, outputs related to these commandsare wired in series; alternatively the SAFETY command's outputs drive the safetydevice provided on the machine.1.6 Identifying the radio remote controlThe serial number (S/N) is the only reference to be used to uniquely identify theradio remote control, both if maintenance is needed and when providing state-ments to competent bodies.The serial number (S/N) and other information regarding the radio remote controlare provided in some plates both on the transmitting and on the receiving unit.These plates must not be:- removed from their position (removal will invalidate the guarantee)- altered or damaged (contact Autec for replacement).
Risk assessmentAUTEC Dynamic SeriesLIDYNE00-01.fm Part A: Description, warnings and instructionsA - 5ENG2 Risk assessmentAs required standards ISO 12100 and ISO 14212, all machines must undergorisk assessment. It is therefore necessary to evaluate, within the limits of this as-sessment, if the machine can be radio remote controlled.The radio remote control can only be used if this assessment gives positive re-sults.2.1 Risk assessment for radio remote controlled machinesAll warnings listed in this manual must also be taken into account during risk as-sessment and when setting out protection measures for the controlled machine.When carrying out risk assessment for the machine or for the system where theradio remote control is installed, the following must be considered:- some machines cannot be radio remote controlled by Dynamic series radio re-mote controls (see paragraph 1.1)- the radio link between the two units may be interrupted due to persistent dis-turbance or interference.Whenever the radio link is interrupted (i.e. due to active stop, passive stop, lowbattery, automatic switch off, receiving unit not powered):- all outputs in the receiving unit are disabled (if this generates a hazardous sit-uation, it is necessary that the corresponding commands on the machine arekept active)- it is not possible to enable or disable the machine commands until the radioremote control is started up again.Due to the characteristics of radio propagation (i.e.: EM interference, near out-of-range condition), a delay up to the "Passive stop time" (see paragraph 1.1) mayoccasionally occur from the moment a command in the transmitting unit is re-leased to the moment its corresponding output in the receiving unit is deactivated.Those who decide upon the installation of the radio remote control must makesure that this delay never leads to a dangerous situation in the specific uses.The transmitting unit housing is manufactured so that it protects the actuatorsfrom unintentional activation, while meeting at the same time the operatingneeds, the comfort requirements and law limits.Assessment shall be made to establish possible additional protection measuresfor the actuators (i.e. commands requiring two-hand operation, “dead-man” func-tion) if particular environments, equipment and working modes could cause acci-dental bumps to the actuators.
Dynamic Series Part A: Description, warnings and instructionsRisk assessment A - 6The machine manufacturer and/or the person who decides upon radio remotecontrol use and installation is responsible for this risk assessment.Autec cannot be held responsible if this assessment is not carried out correctly.If required by the risk assessment, draw up protection measures to prevent, re-duce and report potential hazard situations.2.2 Working conditionsTo guarantee correct radio remote control operation, all current regulations re-garding safety at work and accident prevention should be respected. All applica-ble standards and regulations valid in the user country regarding the use of boththe machine and the radio remote control must always be respected.Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is used in unlawfulworking conditions.
WarningsAUTEC Dynamic SeriesLIDYNE00-01.fm Part A: Description, warnings and instructionsA - 7ENG3 WarningsIn addition to all instructions provided by the machine manufacturer, by the install-er of the radio remote control and by the person responsible for the safety of thework area, users shall always respect the following warnings.3.1 Before starting to workThe transmitting unit shall be used in a simple and comfortable way, avoid-ing accidental falls. The harness provided with the radio remote controlserves as such.Stand in a position that allows the direct supervision of the remote control-led machine and its load, and stay in a place ensuring safety conditions inrespect of other operations and/or activities and/or processes that are car-ried out in the working environment.Never start up or use the transmitting unit if the working conditions presentthe risk of losing balance or tripping.Always check that the mechanical operation of the STOP pushbutton is cor-rect. If it is impossible or difficult to press this pushbutton, do not use theradio remote control.Only start up the transmitting unit when starting work: improper use maycause hazardous situations.Never start up or use the transmitting unit in closed spaces, with the ma-chine not in sight, or outside the radio remote control typical workingrange: in such cases it is in fact still possible to build a radio link, thuscausing the risk that unwanted commands be carried out by the machine.3.2 During normal operationVisually and directly follow all movements of the machine and its load andremain inside the radio remote control working range.Pay particular attention to warnings and visual and acoustic signals, andtake all measurements and steps to avoid that movements of the remotecontrolled machine may lead to hazardous situations for people and/orproperty.Pay attention to the entire work area. Immediately press the STOP pushbut-ton when a hazardous situation occurs.
Dynamic Series Part A: Description, warnings and instructionsWarnings A - 8Do not touch the receiving unit’s metal parts as they may reach high, po-tentially dangerous temperatures.In case of malfunction, disable the system “machine+radio remote control”until the problem has been completely solved.3.3 After using the radio remote controlSwitch off the transmitting unit when work is stopped or temporarily inter-rupted. Do not leave the load hanging (even when changing the battery).Never leave the transmitting unit unguarded when the S-KEY is inserted.Always store the S-KEY in a safe place each time it is removed from thetransmitting unit. If this key is lost, the radio remote control cannot work,since the transmitting unit needs the address stored in the key to work withits receiving unit.

If the DISPLAYpushbutton is pressed another time, it switches back tomanual mode.It is not possible to scroll the lines if icons only are displayed.The display lighting stays on for a time set by the machine man-ufacturer.
Dynamic Series Part A: Description, warnings and instructionsWorking A - 226.7 Cable controlThe wire control is used:- in particular working conditions, established by the machine manufacturer- when it is not possible to build a radio link between the radio remote controlunits- when working in environments where using radio frequencies is not allowed oris dangerous- when a fully charged battery is not available.When using the wire control, it is not possible to eliminate the electricshock hazard when working near in-ground or overhead high voltage elec-trical cables.6.7.1 Description The wire control connects the transmitting unit to the receiving unit through a ca-ble that replaces the radio link. The cable shall be plugged in the suitable connec-tors, one on the transmitting unit and the other on the receiving unit (or placedwhere established by the machine manufacturer).When using the wire control, the working features do not change (i.e. the mean-ing of actuators and the Data Feedback function).6.7.2 OperationBefore starting to work, make sure that the cable and the corresponding connec-tors are intact.The wire control can only be connected and disconnected when the transmittingunit is switched off.After connecting or disconnecting the wire control, start up the radio remote con-trol (see paragraph 5.1) to control the machine.During operation with wire control:- radio link is off- leave the battery inside the transmitting unit, even though the power supplycomes from the receiving unit.The battery is not, in any case, recharged through the wire control: it can onlybe recharged through its appropriate battery charger provided together withthe system.When you finish working with the wire control, disconnect the cable from thetransmitting unit and from the machine, and protect the connectors with theircaps.
TroubleshootingAUTEC Dynamic SeriesLIDYNE00-01.fm Part A: Description, warnings and instructionsA - 23ENG7 TroubleshootingWhen the radio remote control does not work:- bring the transmitting unit close to the receiving unit to avoid radio interferenceand disturbances- establish whether the problem lies with the radio remote control or with the ma-chine.Therefore, before any inspection, try to control the machine from a control unitdifferent from the radio remote control, if present.If the problem persists, it lies with the machine.If not, the problem may lie with the radio remote control. In such case, pleaserefer to paragraph 7.3.7.1 Radio remote controls with Data Feedback functionIt is still possible that the transmitting unit sends commands to control the ma-chine even though the Data Feedback function does not work properly, or if thereis no information and/or signals coming from it.To check that the radio remote control works properly, please refer toparagraph 7.3.When the display or the LED array does not work, please contact the supportservice of the machine manufacturer, even if no one of the problems indicated inparagraph 7.3 has been detected.7.2 Radio remote controls with wire controlPlease refer to paragraph 7.3 to check that the radio remote control works prop-erly.Possibly use the wire control to check if radio interference occurs.On the contrary, if you want to check that the wire control works properly: - connect the cable to the transmitting unit and to the machine- check that the manoeuvres carried out by the machine correspond to the com-mands sent by the transmitting unit.7.3 Solutions in case of malfunctionLook up in “Part C” and/or in “Part D” to identify the radio remote control malfunc-tion signalled by light signals on the units. If the problem persists after the suggested solution has been carried out, contactthe support service of the machine manufacturer.
