3 Dynamic series description
Autec Dynamic series industrial
radio remote controls are used to
control machines from a distance,
without physical connections (i.e.
wires or connecting cables) be-
tween the user and the machine.
Each of these industrial radio re-
mote controls consists of a porta-
ble transmitting unit, from which
the user can remotely control the
machine, and a receiving unit in-
stalled on board the machine it-
self.
3.1 Conformity
Dynamic series radio remote controls working within the frequency band 915 -
928 MHz are allowed to be used in the North American market.
Each of these radio remote controls complies with the following requirements:
- FCC (Federal Communication Commission) Part 15
IC (Industry Canada) RSS-102
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

3.2 Applications
In compliance with the risk analysis (see chapter 4), this radio remote control can
be installed on hoisting and material handling machines and on machines for
moving, 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-proof
characteristics is required
- on machines where the receiving unit power supply does not come from
a 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 the
case)
- on machines that may generate dangerous situations if they stop due to
the loss of radio link
- on machines for which a risk analysis (see chapter 4) is not possible or
gave negative results.
Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is installed on forbid-
den applications.
3.3 Radio link
The two units constantly communicate with one another through a radio link. This
is 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 (see
paragraph 13.2) and in the receiving unit. This address is unique (Autec produces
it only once), univocal (specific for each radio remote control) and not reproduci-
ble. Each unit can only decode the messages coming from the unit with the same
address. This prevents messages 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 be
carried out by the machine
- messages sent by the receiving unit contain information useful for the au-
tomatic management of the working frequency and information about
measurements collected from the machine (Data Feedback function).

Frequencies
8
3.4 Frequencies
The radio link between the units of Autec Dynamic series radio remote controls
is built at one of the frequencies permitted by the European standards in force
when the system is put on the market.
Dynamic series industrial radio remote controls communicate either in dynamic
or static mode. Mode is set by the machine manufacturer.
3.4.1 Dynamic mode
A radio remote control communicating in dynamic mode:
- uses a working frequency in the band 915 - 928 MHz
- checks that the frequency is free before using it
- continually changes the working frequency to maintain the radio link even
when interference occurs.
3.4.2 Static mode
A radio remote control communicating in static mode:
- uses a working frequency in the band 915 - 928 MHz
- checks that the frequency is free before using it
- always works at the same frequency until the stop function is activated (see
paragraph 3.6.1).
3.5 Classification of commands
Commands sent by the transmitting unit are classified according to their type.
3.5.1 Command type: analogue, digital or direction command
Commands sent by the transmitting unit can either be analogue or digital.
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 specify the movement direction.
3.5.2 Name of commands
All commands sent by the transmitting unit are identified by abbreviations, which
are 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.

Safety functions
AUTEC - Dynamic Series
LIUDYN2AB0-01_eng.fm User manual

3.6 Safety functions
Autec radio remote controls are equipped with some functions that provide high
safety levels, in order to safeguard the safety of people and property.
3.6.1 Stop function
The stop function brings the machine to a safe state every time it is necessary to
stop it due to a potentially hazardous situation. This function is either voluntarily
enabled by the user (active stop), as appropriate, or it cuts in automatically and
autonomously (passive stop).
Active stop
Active stop is a function enabled by the STOP pushbutton (see paragraph 13.4).
The transmitting unit sends to the receiving unit a command that immediately
stops the machine. When the STOP pushbutton is pressed, the machine stops in
shorter time than when passive stop cuts in.
Passive stop
Passive stop is a function that cuts in when a fault occurs during operation. When
the radio link is incorrect or interrupted, the receiving unit autonomously stops the
radio remote control. The cut-in time of this function (passive stop cut-in time) is
set by the machine manufacturer (see technical data sheet).
3.6.2 Protection against unintended movements from the standstill position
(UMFS)
This safety function protects the system “machine+radio remote control” from un-
intended movements, namely machine movements not activated intentionally by
the user, but resulting from possible electrical and mechanical failure of the radio
remote control.
Such safety function constantly checks the neutral (rest) position of the actuators
that drive the machine's movements. Each time one of those actuators is operat-
ed, the transmitting unit sends both the movement command and the “SAFETY”
command. This activates the two outputs that drive the safety device provided on
the machine.

4 Risk analysis
As required by the Machinery Directive and the related harmonised standards, all
machines must undergo a risk analysis. It is therefore necessary to evaluate,
within the limits of this analysis, if the machine can be radio remote controlled.
The radio remote control can only be used if this analysis gives positive results.
4.1 Risk analysis for radio remote controlled machines
All warnings listed in this manual must also be taken into account during risk anal-
ysis and when setting out protection measures for the controlled machine.
When carrying out risk analysis for the machine or for the system where the radio
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 3.2)
- 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, low
battery, 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 are kept active)
- it is not possible to enable or disable the machine commands until the radio
remote 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 3.7) may
occasionally 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 make
sure that this delay never leads to a dangerous situation in the specific uses.
The transmitting unit housing is manufactured so that it protects the actuators
from unintentional activation, while meeting at the same time the operating
needs, the comfort requirements and law limits.
Assessment shall be made to establish possible additional protection measures
for 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.
The machine manufacturer and/or the person who decides upon radio remote
control use and installation is responsible for this risk analysis.
Autec cannot be held responsible if this analysis is not carried out correctly.

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 both
the machine and the radio remote control must always be respected.
Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is used in unlawful
working conditions.

8 CRS receiving unit
8.1 Description
The receiving unit communicates with the machine through the STOP outputs
(STOP_1 and STOP_2), the SAFETY outputs (SAF_1 and SAF_2) and the CAN
network.
The receiving unit uses the CANopen® communication protocol to communicate
in the CAN bus network. The receiving unit acts as a slave node within this net-
work.
STOP and SAFETY commands are sent via CAN network and also activate their
corresponding outputs.
It is not possible to only rely on the CAN communication status to maintain
or bring the remote controlled machine to a safe condition. Messages sent
by the radio remote control via CAN network do not in fact ensure the same
safety features as the corresponding commands that are directly carried
out by the receiving unit's safety outputs.

dio link; in particular:
the antenna must be installed in a vertical position, and possibly near the work
area
the antenna must not be shielded by metal objects
The antenna must be placed at least 50 cm far from metal objects in its surround-
ings.
If these warnings are disregarded, the typical working range of the radio remote
control may be reduced.
9.4 Wiring
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.

The power supply of the receiving unit must have a switch that allows power sup-
ply disconnection during installation, wiring and/or maintenance operations. Con-
nect the receiving unit immediately downstream of the machine main switch or of
the electrical panel main switch.
Pay special attention to the currents flowing in outputs SAF_1_OUT,
SAF_2_OUT, STOP_1_OUT and STOP_2_OUT: they shall not exceed the max-
imum permitted values (see paragraph 8.2).
The current of STOP outputs is interrupted at regular intervals for approx. 1 ms
every 100 ms. If STOP outputs are used to power electronic devices, check that
they are compatible with this recurring interruption (use suitable filters if neces-
sary).
9.5 At end of installation
Make sure that during installation the safety mechanisms on the radio remote
control and/or in the machine have not been made ineffective by possible proce-
dures carried out.
9.6 Testing
After installation and wiring, test the system “machine+radio remote control”, and
check that the operations carried out correspond exactly to the commands sent
(in particular check the STOP command).
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.
In case of malfunction, disable the system “machine+radio remote control” until
the problem has been completely solved.

er of the radio remote control and by the person responsible for the safety of the
work area, users shall always respect the following warnings.
10.1 Before starting to work
The transmitting unit shall be used in a simple and comfortable way, avoid-
ing accidental falls. The harness provided with the radio remote control
serves 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 in
respect 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 present
the 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 the
radio remote control.
Only start up the transmitting unit when starting work: improper use may
cause 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 working
range: in such cases it is in fact still possible to build a radio link, thus
causing the risk that unwanted commands be carried out by the machine.
10.2 During normal operation
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.
Pay attention to the entire work area. Immediately press the STOP pushbut-
ton when a hazardous situation occurs.

13.6 Low Power function
The LOW POWER function allows transmission at a lower power than the nomi-
nal power (see paragraph 3.7) and reduces the radio remote control working
range.
This function aims at:
- making it easier to work with several systems in the same working environ-
ment (i.e.: many working machines in the same working area)
- extending the battery run-time.
This function is established by the machine manufacturer (see technical data
sheet).
13.7 Wire control
The 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 control
units
- when working in environments where using radio frequencies is not allowed or
is dangerous
- when a fully charged battery is not available.
When using the wire control, it is not possible to eliminate the electric
shock hazard when working near in-ground or overhead high voltage elec-
trical cables.
DISPLAY pushbutton (if the transmitting unit has a display)
This pushbutton is used to:
- activate the display lighting, if it is off
- cyclically scroll the information on the display in two different
modes:
- manual: the lines scroll up each time the pushbutton is
pressed
- automatic: when the DISPLAY pushbutton is pressed for
3 seconds, the lines scroll automatically. If the DISPLAY

ing of actuators and the Data Feedback function).
13.7.2 Working
Before 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 transmitting
unit is switched off.
After connecting or disconnecting the wire control, start up the radio remote con-
trol (see paragraph 12.1) to control the machine.
During operation with wire control:
- radio link is off
- leave the battery inside the transmitting unit, even though the power supply
comes from the receiving unit.
The battery is not, in any case, recharged through the wire control: it can only
be recharged through its appropriate battery charger provided together with
the system.
When you finish working with the wire control, disconnect the cable from the
transmitting unit and from the machine, and protect the four connectors with their
caps.

14 Troubleshooting
When the radio remote control does not work:
- bring the transmitting unit close to the receiving unit to avoid radio interference
and 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 unit
different 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, please
refer to paragraph 14.3.
14.1 Radio remote controls with Data Feedback function
It 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 there
is no information and/or signals coming from it.
To check that the radio remote control works properly, please refer to
paragraph 14.3.
When the display or the LED array does not work, please contact the support
service of the machine manufacturer, even if no one of the problems indicated in
paragraph 14.3 has been detected.
14.2 Radio remote controls with wire control
Please refer to paragraph 14.3 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.
