Radio Remote Control features
Radio Remote Control features
Dynamic Plus series' Radio Remote Controls are used to control Machines from a distance,
without physical connection (by way of example: wires or connecting cables) between the
Transmitting Unit handled by the User and the Receiving Unit installed on the Machine, hence
between the User and the Machine.
They consist of a portable Transmitting Unit, from which the User can remotely control a
Machine, and a Receiving Unit installed on board the Machine itself.
Images of the single Units belonging to the Radio Remote Control can be found in the specific
manual that refers to each Unit.
4.1
Description of radio link
The Transmitting Unit communicates with the Receiving Unit through a radio link. Such
link must be continuous to promote safety in the use of the Machine. Each time this link is
incorrect or interrupted, the Receiving Unit stops the Radio Remote Control command and
instructs the Machine to stop: the Machine stops only if the wiring between the Receiving
Unit and the Machine itself is made in a correct manner.
The two Units in a Radio Remote Control code their messages through an address that is
unique (produced by Autec only once and non repeatable for other Radio Remote Controls)
and univocal (specific for each Radio Remote Control and associated to it).
Each Unit can only decode messages coming from the Unit with the same address.
This prevents messages from other radio equipment from activating any "Machine+Radio
Remote Control" system function.
The radio link is interrupted in the following cases:
-- stop (see paragraph 4.2.2),
-- low battery,
-- automatic switch off,
-- no power supply in the Receiving Unit,
-- out of working range condition (see paragraph 4.3),
-- presence of metal obstructions.
WARNING: The maximum working range may vary significantly and
unpredictably when special conditions occur in the working environment
(by way of example: temporary presence of electromagnetic interference
and/or metal obstructions).

4.2.1 Start up and switch off
Start up and switch off functions are described in chapter "General instructions for operation"
included in "Part C" of the Instruction Manual. Therefore, please refer to that part of the Manual.
4.2.2 Stop
The stop is a safety function that brings the Machine to a safe state every time it is necessary
to stop it due to a potentially hazardous situation.
The stop function may activate:
-- Manually (active stop): the User activates the stop function pressing the red STOP
pushbutton on the Transmitting Unit.
-- Automatically (passive stop): the Receiving Unit autonomously activates the stop function
if the radio link is incorrect or interrupted.
THE USER MUST AT ALL TIMES PAY FULL ATTENTION TO THE SAFE
AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE MACHINE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS PROVIDED IN THIS MANUAL AND WITH THE
MANUAL, INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS FOR THE MACHINE AND WITH
ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS, EVEN LOCAL.
ACTIVATING THE STOP PUSHBUTTON OR RETURNING THE ACTUATORS
TO THE REST POSITION MAY NOT RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE STOPPING
OF THE MACHINE.
THE STOP PUSHBUTTON MAY NOT ACTIVATE A BRAKE. FURTHERMORE,
DIFFERENT MACHINES HAVE DIFFERENT RESPONSE TIMES AND STOPPING
DISTANCES. WHILE THE STOP FEATURE IS HELPFUL, THE USER MUST
BE FULLY AWARE OF THE MOVEMENTS AND OPERATING ZONES OF THE
MACHINE AND MUST ALLOW FOR SUFFICIENT SAFE FUNCTIONING OF THE
MACHINE, INCLUDING SUCH RESPONSE TIMES AND STOPPING DISTANCES.
FAILURE TO DO SO CONTINUOUSLY AND CORRECTLY MAY RESULT IN
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Radio Remote Control features
The stop function by means of Radio Remote Control is available only if the Radio
Remote Control is started up (see "Starting up the Radio Remote Control" in the
"Part C" of the Manual).
Never leave the Transmitting Unit unguarded in order to avoid uncertainty
about the availability or unavailability of the stop function.
The “life time”, as defined in international standards and requirements, of
the stop function is 20 years. In any case, the Radio Remote Control must
be replaced within this period. The “life time” must not be considered as
a warranty period.
After the activation of the STOP on the Transmitting Unit, the Machine is
not controlled by the Radio Remote Control any more. Any possible risks
that may arise from the activation of the stop function must be taken into
account by the Installer and the User of the Radio Remote Control, and by
the Manufacturer and the Owner of the Machine where the Radio Remote
Control is installed.

Protection against unintended movements from the standstill position (UMFS)
Unintended movements of the Machine, that is Machine movements that are
not activated by movements of the actuators, may occur due to electrical or
mechanical failure or malfunction that may affect the Radio Remote Control.
The Autec Radio Remote Control includes a function that seeks to protect the Machine
from such unintended movements by electronically checking the rest position of actuators
in the Radio Remote Control. The rest position of the actuators on the Transmitting Unit is
the neutral position. When the actuators are in such neutral position, no command from the
Transmitting Unit directing a Machine movement is being sent.
Each time one of the actuators is moved, the Transmitting Unit sends both the movement
command and the “SAFETY” command through this function. This feature is designed to
check whether the actuator is in fact out of the neutral position: if the Radio Remote Control
detects that the actuator is in the neutral position, it ignores the command.
UNINTENDED MOVEMENT MAY RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH,
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. FAILURE TO INSTALL AND WIRE THE SAFETY
OUTPUTS ON THE RECEIVING UNIT CORRECTLY WILL CAUSE THIS
FEATURE TO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY AND WILL INCREASE THE RISK
AND OPPORTUNITY FOR UNINTENDED MOVEMENT.
MOVEMENT OF THE MACHINE WILL OCCUR WHENEVER THE ACTUATOR
IS MOVED FROM ITS NEUTRAL (CENTRAL REST) POSITION ON THE
TRANSMITTING UNIT . THIS RADIO REMOTE CONTROL WILL NOT DETECT
WHETHER THAT MOVEMENT OF THE ACTUATOR WAS INTENTIONAL OR
ACCIDENTAL. INADVERTENT ACTIVATION OF COMMANDS WILL ALSO
CAUSE MOVEMENT OF THE MACHINE (SEE PARAGRAPH 7.3).
THE FUNCTION DESCRIBED IN THIS PARAGRAPH IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE
WHATSOEVER FOR THE PROPER OPERATION, PROTECTION AND USE
OF THE TRANSMITTING UNIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS
CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL (INCLUDING ALL OF ITS PARTS); THE USER
MUST AT ALL TIMES PAY FULL ATTENTION TO THE SAFE AND PROPER
OPERATION OF THE MACHINE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS PROVIDED IN THIS MANUAL AND IN THE MANUAL FOR
THE MACHINE AND WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND STANDARDS,
EVEN LOCAL.
IN THE EVENT OF AN UNINTENDED MOVEMENT OF THE MACHINE, THE
USER MUST NOT RELY ON THIS FEATURE BUT MUST ACTIVATE THE STOP
BUTTON TO CEASE ANY MOVEMENT THAT WAS NOT INTENDED AND NOT
WITHIN THE CONTINUOUS AND SAFE CONTROL OF THE USER.

6.1
Applications
An Autec Dynamic Plus series' Radio Remote Control can be used for several applications:
the Machine's Manufacturer must establish if the Radio Remote Control is suitable for each
different application, with specific regard to safety. The Dynamic Plus series is used most
frequently for the following type of Machines:
-- Machines for lifting and moving materials, objects, general loads (by way of example:
hydraulic cranes, concrete pumps),
-- Machines for raising and moving people (by way of example: elevated work platforms,
telehandlers),
-- Drilling Machines.
The Autec Radio Remote Control may not be installed on Machines where
it is used for applications or functions not permitted under this Manual and
applicable Laws, Regulations and Standards, even local. INSTALLATION OF
AN AUTEC RADIO REMOTE CONTROL ON OTHER MACHINE OR FOR OTHER
FUNCTIONS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
Autec is not and cannot be held responsible if the Radio Remote Control
is used in unsafe or poor safety conditions. Assessment shall be made
by the Machine Manufacturer to establish possible additional protection
measures for the actuators (by way of example: commands requiring twohand operation, “dead-man” function) if particular environments, equipment
and working modes could cause accidental bumps to the actuators.
LIUDTH000_eng-00
AUTEC - Dynamic Plus series
Installation
25
In addition to the above, Dynamic Plus series' Radio Remote Controls
cannot be installed:
-- On Machines that are intended for the use in environments requiring
explosion-proof features or in any usage situation that may pose the
risk of explosion.
-- on Machines where the Receiving Unit power supply does not come from
a battery or from a power supply unit with safety isolating transformer;
-- On Machines that control loads that are not isolated from alternating
current (AC) power supply (if that is the case);
-- On Machines that create or can create dangerous situations if they stop
due to the loss of radio link.
-- On Machines that do not allow a risk-free installation of a Radio Remote
Control, due to their functions or features and/or to the risks related to
their use.
-- On any kind of lifting accessory (by way of example: magnets, grippers,
suction cups) whenever the loss of radio link or the deactivation of
commands may cause the release of the load, resulting in the risk of
damage to people and/or property. The Machine Manufacturer may allow
the installation and use of the Radio Remote Control for such applications
under their own responsibility.
-- If the applicable safety-related laws in the country where the Machine
is used, regulations and standards (even local ones), even concerning
safety in the workplace, do not allow the use of Radio Remote Controls
to control the Machines.
INSTALLATION OF AN AUTEC RADIO REMOTE CONTROL ON MACHINES

6.3
Classification of commands
This paragraph describes the classification of commands in the Radio Remote Control: such
information is useful during installation and maintenance.
6.3.1 Command type: analogue, digital or direction command
Commands sent by the Transmitting Unit can either be analogue, digital or direction commands.
Analogue commands generate proportional outputs as a function of the position of the
corresponding actuator.
Digital commands switch the status of their corresponding output, according to the position
of the related actuator. This status can either be on or off.
Direction commands are digital commands paired with analogue commands, and are used
to enable the movement in a specific direction.
6.3.2 Name of commands
All commands activated by the Transmitting Unit are identified with abbreviations such D1,
D2, H1, L1, etc.
Those abbreviations are provided in the Technical Data Sheet that must be used when
installing the system, and in particular:
-- in the drawing of the Transmitting Unit, where commands and their layout are indicated;
-- in the wiring diagram of the Receiving Unit.
This is helpful to highlight the relation between the commands sent by the Transmitting Unit
and those available on the Receiving Unit.

6.4.4 Wiring
Wiring is understood as the electrical cable connections that can be found:
-- inside the Receiving Unit,
-- between the Receiving Unit and the Machine.
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE PERFORMED AND MADE IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE AND ALL APPLICABLE
LAWS, REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS, EVEN LOCAL. IF INSTRUCTIONS
PROVIDED BY AUTEC ARE INCONSISTENT WITH SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS,
REGULATIONS OR STANDARDS, DO NOT INSTALL THE AUTEC RADIO
REMOTE CONTROL WITHOUT CONSULTATION WITH AUTEC. AUTEC IS
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY
MALFUNCTIONS OR ACCIDENTS THAT MAY OCCUR DUE TO ANY IMPROPER
INSTALLATION OR INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN ITS INSTRUCTIONS AND
SUCH LAWS, REGULATIONS OR STANDARDS.
FAILURE TO INSTALL THE AUTEC RADIO REMOTE CONTROL CORRECTLY
MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
The power supply of the Receiving Unit must have a switch that allows
power supply disconnection during installation, wiring and/or maintenance
operations. Connect the Receiving Unit immediately downstream of the
Machine main switch or of the electrical panel main switch (see the Installation
Manual).
The Receiving Unit's power supply must be protected against short circuit
by means of an external device (by way of example: fuse, thermal magnetic
circuit breaker). Such device must be able to interrupt the maximum fault
current (including the short circuit current) allowed in the circuit.
Make sure that the Receiving Unit's power supply is protected against short
circuits and is supplied either by a battery or by a power supply unit with
safety isolating transformer. Limits provided in the technical data must be
observed (see chapter "Technical Data" in "Part D" of the Instruction Manual).
Never connect power supply positive or negative pole to the outputs. Such
connections damage the outputs and make ineffective the UMFS and STOP
safety functions. In this case the Machine may be in a dangerous condition,
out of the User's control.
AUTEC - Dynamic Plus series
LIUDTH000_eng-00
32
Installation
The Installer must avoid that a power supply positive or negative pole is
connected to the outputs.
If a Receiving Unit's output is connected to a direct current inductive load
(by way of example: solenoid valves, relays), it is advisable to connect a
freewheeling diode in anti-parallel with the driven load, to reduce the effects
of demagnetizing currents.
must always be applied to the power supply input
A voltage of 12 or 24 V
of the solid state commands.
Common wire related to diodes of solid state commands must be connected
with the common of all the Machine's freewheeling diodes. If that is not
possible, connect it to the Receiving Unit's power supply negative.
Pay special attention to the currents flowing in the STOP and SAFETY
outputs: they shall not exceed the maximum permitted values (see chapter
"Technical Data" in "Part D" of the Instruction Manual) .
Wiring of STOP outputs is crucial to define the safety level for the STOP
function (see the Installation Manual).
Wiring of SAFETY outputs is crucial to define the safety level for the UMFS
protection function (see the Installation Manual).
The Installer is in any case responsible for carrying out wiring in such a
way as to ensure the safety level required according to the risk analysis;
in particular, the connection of power supply's positive or negative pole to
the STOP outputs must be avoided.

At the end of installation
Make sure that during installation the protection measures on the Radio
Remote Control and/or in the Machine have not been made ineffective by
improper installation works.
Look up in the Technical Data Sheet and check that the frequency band set
in the Radio Remote Control is permitted in the country of use.
6.4.6
Testing
The Installer must check and complete the Technical Data Sheet in all its parts,
adding the date the system has been put into service, his stamp and signature.
After installing and wiring the Receiving Unit, test the Machine controlled
by the Radio Remote Control and verify that the operations carried out
correspond exactly to the commands sent, including in particular but not
limited to the functionality of the STOP command.
Make sure that the SAFETY outputs (of UMFS function) only activate after
the Radio Remote Control has started, and when a movement command is
sent to the Machine.
In case of malfunction, disable the system “Machine+Radio Remote Control”
until the problem has been completely solved and the installation and
functionality is confirmed to be correct..

7.1
Risk assessment for radio remote controlled Machines
The Manufacturer of the Machine on which the Autec Radio Remote Control is to be installed,
and its design professionals shall make a full and proper risk assessment to determine
whether the use and installation of the Autec Radio Remote Control is appropriate for the safe
and effective operation of the Machine by a Radio Remote Control in the facility and for the
purposes intended, and that the installation, maintenance and operation of the Autec Radio
Remote Control and all of its components are done solely and completely in accordance with
this Manual, and with all local applicable laws, safety rules and standards (all of the foregoing
referred to herein as “Laws, Regulations and Standards”).
When carrying out its risk assessment to determine whether the Radio Remote Control
may be installed on a Machine, the Manufacturer and Installer must comply with all Laws,
Regulations and Standards, even local, regarding risk assessment and safety of the Machine
and/or the installation , as well as the following recommendations:
-- Some Machines may not be operated with a Radio Remote Control, such as set forth
in paragraph 6.1). Consider any other conditions that may restrict, forbid or impose
conditions on the use of a Radio Remote Control on the Machine, or that may affect its
correct use or its safety.
-- The radio link between the two Units may be interrupted (see paragraph 4.1).
-- All warnings for installation, use and maintenance provided by Autec must be considered
(see chapters 6, 8 and 9).
-- There is a delay between the release of a command in the Transmitting Unit and the
deactivation of the corresponding output in the Receiving Unit (see paragraph 7.2).
-- There is a delay between the activation of a command in the Transmitting Unit and the
activation of the corresponding output in the Receiving Unit (see paragraph 7.2).
-- Additional protection measures for the actuators may be necessary (see paragraph 7.3).
-- it is possible that a command be enabled or disabled due to electrical and/or mechanical
failure (see paragraph 7.4).
7.2
Delay in command response time
Under normal conditions, the delay between the activation of a command
in the Transmitting Unit and the activation of the corresponding output in
the Receiving Unit requires the "Command response time" indicated in
the Technical Data (see paragraph 4.3).Under poor radio link conditions
(by way of example: interference, working range been reached) such delay
may extend up to the "Passive stop time" indicated in the Technical Data
(see paragraph 4.3).
LIUDTH000_eng-00
AUTEC - Dynamic Plus series
Safety
35
Please consider that, due to the characteristics of radio propagation (by way
of example: EM interference, out-of-working-range condition), a delay up to
the "Passive stop time" indicated in the Technical Data (see paragraph 4.3)
may occasionally occur from the moment a command in the Transmitting
Unit is released to the moment its corresponding output in the Receiving
Unit is deactivated. As for the SAFETY outputs only, the "UMFS cut-in time"
(see technical data in "Part D" of the Instruction Manual) adds up to this time.
The Manufacturer, the Installer, the Owner, the User and/or the Maintenance
Technician, must make sure that these delays never lead to a dangerous
situation in the specific uses.
7.3
Inadvertent activation of commands
The User shall operate with the Transmitting Unit in a correct manner, in accordance with
the instructions for use and maintenance.
If the Unit is used correctly, accidental contact with the User's body parts or
with external bodies does not cause inadvertent activation of the actuators.
Any action carried out on the Transmitting Unit, or on part of it, aiming at
activating the actuators in a different way from the one indicated in the
instructions for use constitutes an improper use of the Radio Remote Control.
The User must use the Radio Remote Control in conformity with the
instruction for use and maintenance and with all the Laws, the Regulations
and the Standards, even local, in force in the country where the Radio Remote
Control and the Machine are used; moreover, the User must always have
the control of the Radio Remote Control and remain in the usage position,
as described in the relevant specific part concerning the Transmitting Unit.
The Machine Manufacturer and/or the Installer must assess and adopt
possible additional protection measures for the actuators (by way of example:
commands requiring two-hand operation, “dead-man” function) if particular
environments, equipment and working modes could generate risk situations,
and if Laws, Regulations and Standards in force in the country where the
Radio Remote Control and the Machine are used should require it.

Safety
Activation and/or deactivation of commands due to failure
It is possible that a command be activated or deactivated due to electrical
and/or mechanical failure, that may affect the Radio Remote Control and/
or the Machine.
The Machine Manufacturer and/or the Installer of the Radio Remote Control
must carefully evaluate the possible consequences of such malfunction. If
required by the risk assessment, implement protection measures to prevent,
reduce and report potential hazardous situations.
For further information, see paragraph 4.2.3.
If a command is activated and/or deactivated due to electrical and/or mechanical failure:
-- press the STOP pushbutton to bring the Machine to a safe state,
-- disable the Radio Remote Control and stop using the system "Machine+Radio Remote
Control" until the problem has been solved by implementing the necessary technical
operations.

the risk of losing balance or of tripping.
Start up the Transmitting Unit only to use it according to its intended use or
for operational needs (by way of example: maintenance, checks): improper
use may cause dangerous situations.
Never start up or use the Transmitting Unit in closed spaces, with no or
poor visibility, or outside the Radio Remote Control working range: in such
cases it is still possible to build a radio link between the Transmitting Unit
and the Receiving Unit, thus causing the risk that unwanted commands be
carried out by the radio remote controlled Machine.
Get familiar with the relation between the actuators and the Machine's
movements (this is indicated in the attached Technical Data Sheet) and
learn symbols on the Transmitting Unit's panel (the used symbols are
defined by the Machine Manufacturer and/or by the Installer depending on
the effectiveness and the functions the Machine requires).

Instructions for the User
During normal operation
Pay attention to the entire work area. Immediately press the STOP pushbutton
when a hazardous situation occurs.
Visually and directly follow all movements of the Machine and its load and
remain inside the Radio Remote Control working range.
Pay particular attention to warnings and visual and acoustic signals, and
take all measurements and steps to avoid that movements of the remote
controlled Machine may lead to hazardous situations for people and/or
property.
In case of malfunction, switch off the Transmitting Unit and disconnect
power supply from the Receiving Unit: this way, the system "Machine+Radio
Remote Control" is disabled; it cannot be used until the problem has been
solved by implementing the necessary technical operations.
Pay attention to low battery signals: all dangerous operations (by way of
example: hanging load) must be concluded before the battery is completely
flat.
Use the Transmitting Unit with the complements provided with the Radio
Remote Control (by way of example: pouch, waist belt, shoulder harness)
to avoid that it accidentally falls, or that actuators come into contact with
external bodies, or that the Unit is used improperly.
8.2.3
After using the Radio Remote Control
Switch off the Transmitting Unit when not using the remote control to control
the Machine, or when work is otherwise interrupted, even for short periods.
Do not leave a load hanging or the Machine in dangerous conditions (even
when charging the Unit or changing the battery).
Never leave the Transmitting Unit unguarded in order to prevent unauthorised
or non supervised use.

If the Transmitting Unit has a "Key ID 0-1", always store it in a safe place
each time it is removed. If this key is lost, the Radio Remote Control cannot
work, since the Transmitting Unit needs the address stored in the key to
work with its Receiving Unit.
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
8.3
Operational use
The use of Radio Remote Controls is strictly limited to properly trained Personnel.
When the Radio Remote Control is installed on Machines on board vehicles,
switch off the Receiving Unit while the vehicle is travelling.

Maintenance
43
In case of malfunction, switch off the Transmitting Unit and disconnect
power supply from the Receiving Unit: this way, the system "Machine+Radio
Remote Control" is disabled; it cannot be used until the problem has been
solved by implementing the necessary technical operations.
After each maintenance operation, if a Unit has been opened, close it
correctly, in order to maintain the protection degree from dust, contaminants
and water:
-- make sure that the gasket is intact and correctly seated,
-- check that the housing parts correctly fit so that they overlap,
-- tighten the screws.
9.2
Routine maintenance
Routine maintenance consists of operations needed to preserve the Radio Remote Control
normal usage conditions, thus implementing fine-tuning, checks, planned replacement actions
that necessarily arise from the normal use of the product.
All given instructions must be followed correctly at each commissioning, that is:
-- whenever the Radio Remote Control and/or the Machine is installed or assembled,
-- whenever the Machine location/position changes,
-- after special maintenance.
Routine maintenance carried out as described in this Manual is fundamental for using the
Radio Remote Control safely.
Special applications may require more specific routine maintenance actions to be carried
out at different periods [by way of example: if the working environment is particularly dirty,
or temperature is very high or very low (see limits provided in paragraph 8.3), or in case of
heavy application, or if it is used very frequently, some maintenance actions may be required
more frequently depending on the instructions provided by the Machine Manufacturer and/
or by the Installer).
When carrying out maintenance on the Machine, always disconnect power
supply from the Receiving Unit. In the event of necessary maintenance
on the Machine (by way of example: welding), disconnect all the electrical
connections of the Receiving Unit.

Maintenance
9.2.1 Daily routine maintenance
Before starting to work:
-- Make sure that the symbols on panel on the Transmitting Unit and on the Receiving Unit
are clearly visible and replace the panel if necessary.
-- Make sure that the plates on the Transmitting Unit and on the Receiving Unit are readable
and intact (refer to the specific part in the Manual concerning the Transmitting Unit and
the Receiving Unit).
-- Make sure that the mechanical operation of the STOP pushbutton is correct.
-- Make sure that the Transmitting Unit and the Receiving Unit are whole in all their parts.
-- Check the Receiving Unit status and remove any material from it (dust, remnants, object,
etc.): never use solvents or flammable/corrosive materials for cleaning, and do not use
high-pressure water cleaners or steam cleaners.
-- Check that the wiring of the Receiving Unit is intact and connected.
During normal operation:
-- Do not damage the Transmitting Unit (avoid falls, bumps, contact with water, fluids or
liquids, etc.).
-- Pay attention not to let materials (by way of example: concrete, sand, grease, dirt, lime,
dust, etc.) deposit on the Transmitting Unit because they can compromise its use and
safety.
After using the Radio Remote Control:
-- Clean the Transmitting Unit: never use solvents or flammable/corrosive materials and do
not use water jet cleaners, or air pressure or steam pressure cleaners.
-- Store the Transmitting Unit in clean and dry places.
9.2.2 Three-month routine maintenance
At least every three months:
-- Check the correct correspondence between the commands that are sent and the
manoeuvres that are carried out by the Machine.
-- Make sure that the SAFETY outputs (of UMFS function) only activate after the Radio
Remote Control has started, and when a movement command is sent to the Machine.
This is safety critical maintenance: it is necessary to keep a record (date, signature,
comments) showing that this check has been regularly carried out. Keep the record
together with other installation documents.
-- Make sure that all the outputs in the Receiving Unit operate correctly, and check that
each output activates when the corresponding operation is enabled and deactivates
when the operation is disabled.
-- Start up the Radio Remote Control and check in the Receiving Unit that the STOP outputs
activate. Then, press the STOP pushbutton and check in the Receiving Unit that the
STOP outputs deactivate.
Before testing the STOP outputs, make sure that no dangerous situations
may arise due to the activation of the STOP outputs in the Receiving Unit.

Preventive replacement of actuators (joysticks, pushbuttons and
selectors)
As provided by the Manufacturer of each actuator in the corresponding technical specification,
each actuator of the Transmitting Unit can be used for a defined “maximum number of
operations”, as shown in the table below. The “maximum number of operations” must not be
considered as a warranty period.
Replace joysticks, pushbuttons and selectors on the Transmitting Unit
before they reach the maximum number of operations, even though they
are still working.
This replacement prevents possible failure and dangerous situations (by
way of example: inadvertent activation and/or deactivation of the command
activated by the actuator).

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
If the Radio Remote Control does not work correctly, carry out the following preliminary checks:
-- Move all other Transmitting Units in the working area away from the Autec Transmitting
Unit in use to avoid possible radio interference.
-- Bring the Autec Transmitting Unit closer to the matching Autec Receiving Unit to avoid
possible radio interference, always positioning yourself in a safe place and with full view
of the Machine, its operational area and the load, if any.
-- Determine if the problem lies with the Radio Remote Control or with the Machine: to that
purpose, you need to try to control the Machine with another control station (if any),different
from the Radio Remote Control. If the problem persists after this attempt, you need to fix
the Machine: follow the instructions provided by the Machine Manufacturer. Otherwise,
the problem lies with the Autec Radio Remote Control, so you need to carry out further
checks (see paragraph 10.3).
10.1
Radio Remote Controls with "Data Feedback" function
It is still possible that the Transmitting Unit sends commands to control the Machine even
if the Data Feedback function does not work properly (refer to "Data Feedback function" in
"Part C" of the Manual), or if there is no information and/or signals coming from it.
When the display or the LED array does not work, please contact the support
service of the Machine Manufacturer, even if none of the problems indicated
in paragraph 10.3 has been detected.
10.2
Radio Remote Controls with cable control
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 Receiving Unit,
-- check that the movement carried out by the Machine correspond to the commands sent
by the Transmitting Unit.
10.3
Solutions in case of malfunction
Look up in “Part C” and/or in “Part D” of the Manual to identify the Radio Remote Control
malfunction signalled by light signals on the Units.
If the problem persists after attempting the suggested solution, contact the support service
of the Machine Manufacturer.
