AUTEC - Dynamic SeriesRadio remote control description 7LIDYNE00-071 Radio remote control description1.1 How the radio remote control worksIndustrial radio remote controls are used to control machines from a distance, without physical connection between the user and the machine (i.e. wires or connecting cables). They consist of a portable transmitting unit, from which the user remotely controls the machine, and a receiving unit installed on board the machine itself.1.2 Technical DataCommand response time .................................................................................... 80-130msActive stop time ..................................................................................................... <130ms(Max.) active stop time ............................................................................................ 200msPassive stop timea ............................................................................................. 0.5 / 1 / 2sHamming distance ....................................................................................................... ≥15Probability of undetected error ................................................................................. <10-15Working range (typical) ................................................................................. 100m (330ft)Working range with Low Power function .......................................................... 30m (100ft)Performance Level of safety functions according to EN ISO 13849-1 / EN IEC 62061:STOP protection .......................................................................

8LIDYNE00-07Radio remote control descriptionAUTEC - Dynamic Series1.3 ApplicationsDynamic series radio remote controls can be installed on hoisting and material handling machines and on machines for moving, raising and transporting people (e.g. hydraulic cranes, aerial work platforms, telehandlers, concrete pumps).Dynamic series radio remote controls cannot be installed: -on machines working in zones with 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 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 assessment (see chapter 2) is not possible or gave negative results.Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is installed on forbidden applications.1.4 Radio linkThe transmitting unit constantly communicates with the receiving unit through a radio link. This is an essential requirement to ensure safety for the radio remote controlled machine.The two units use messages coded through an address that is unique (produced by Autec only once), univocal (specic for each radio remote control) and cannot be reproduced. 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 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 automatic management of the working frequency and information about measurements collected from the machine (Data Feedback function).
AUTEC - Dynamic SeriesRadio remote control description 9LIDYNE00-071.5 ClassicationofcommandsCommands sent by the transmitting unit are classied according to their type.1.5.1 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 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 o.Direction commands are digital commands paired with analogue commands, and are used to specify the movement direction.1.5.2 Name of commandsAll commands sent by the transmitting unit are identied by abbreviations, which are written in the technical data sheet to highlight the match between commands sent and machine functions.1.6 Safety functionsAutec radio remote controls are equipped with some functions that provide high safety levels, in order to safeguard the safety of people and property.1.6.1 Stop functionThe 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 stopActive stop is a function enabled by the STOP pushbutton (see paragraph 6.5) .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 stopPassive 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).
10LIDYNE00-07Radio remote control descriptionAUTEC - Dynamic Series1.6.2 Protection against unintended movements from the standstill position (UMFS)This safety function protects the system “machine+radio remote control” from unintended 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 checks the neutral (rest) position of the actuators that control the machine's movements. Each time one of those actuators is operated, the transmitting unit sends both the movement command and the “SAFETY” command. Depending on the specic application, and according to the receiving unit, outputs related to movement and SAFETY command are wired in series; alternatively the SAFETY command's outputs drive the safety device provided on the machine.1.7 Identifying the radio remote controlAs required by standard IEC 60204-32, each radio remote control is uniquely identied through a serial number (S/N).The serial number is provided in the identication plate on each radio remote control unit.This is the only reference to be used both for maintenance operations and for declarations to competent bodies.Plates on the units must not be: -removed from their position (removal voids the guarantee) -altered or damaged (contact Autec for replacement)
AUTEC - Dynamic SeriesRisk assessment 11LIDYNE00-072 Risk assessmentWhen using and installing an industrial radio remote control it is therefore always necessary to evaluate if the machine can be radio remote controlled.In fact, as required by standards ISO 12100 and ISO 14121, all machines must undergo risk assessment and related analysis.The radio remote control can only be installed and used if this assessment gives positive results.The machine manufacturer and/or the person who decides upon radio remote control installation and use is responsible for this risk assessment.Autec cannot be held responsible if this assessment has not been carried out correctly or is incomplete.If required by the risk assessment, implement protection measures to prevent, reduce and report potential hazardous situations.2.1 Risk assessment for radio remote controlled machinesWhen carrying out risk assessment 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: check for forbidden applications (see paragraph 1.3) -the radio link between the two units may be interrupted due to persistent disturbance or interference. -all warnings related to installation, use and maintenance provided by Autec must be taken into account2.1.1 Aspects related to radio linkWhenever the radio link is interrupted (i.e. stop, low battery, automatic switch o, receiving unit not powered): -all outputs of the receiving unit are disabled -it is not possible to enable or disable the machine commands through the transmitting unit until the radio remote control is started up again.2.1.2 Delay in command response timeDue to the characteristics of radio propagation (i.e.: EM interference, out-of-working-range condition), a delay up to the "Passive stop time" 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.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 specic uses.
12LIDYNE00-07Risk assessmentAUTEC - Dynamic Series2.1.3 Protection from unintended activationThe 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” function) if particular environments, equipment and working modes could cause accidental bumps to the actuators.2.1.4 Command activation and loss of commandPlease consider that it is possible to unintentionally activate a command and/or involuntarily lose the selection of a command. Such anomalous events may be caused by electro-mechanical or mechanical damages in the "machine+radio remote control" system.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.2.2 StatrainingAll installation, usage and maintenance operations must be carried out by qualied technicians who are suitably trained with respect to: -warnings resulting from risk assessment -regulations and reference laws -instructions and warnings provided in the documents related to the industrial radio remote control and to the radio remote controlled machine -instructions provided by those who install the radio remote control on the machine and by the person in charge for safety in the workplace where the system "machine+radio remote control" is used2.3 Working conditionsTo guarantee correct radio remote control operation, all current regulations regarding safety at work and accident prevention should be respected. Furthermore, always respect all national regulations regarding the use of both the machine and the radio remote control valid in the country where the "machine+radio remote control" system is used.Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is used in unlawful working conditions.
AUTEC - Dynamic SeriesWarnings for use 13LIDYNE00-073 Warnings for useIn addition to all instructions provided by the machine manufacturer, by the installer of the radio remote control and by the person responsible for the safety of the work area, users shall always respect the following warnings.3.1 Before starting to workStand in a position that allows the direct supervision of the remote controlled machine and its load, and stay in a place ensuring the user's safety conditions in respect of other operations and/or activities and/or processes that are carried out in the working environment.Always check that the mechanical operation of the STOP pushbutton is correct.Ifitisimpossibleordiculttopressthispushbutton,donotusethe radio remote control.Never start up or use the transmitting unit if the working conditions present the risk of losing balance or tripping.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 machine not in sight, or outside the radio remote control 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.Get familiar with the correspondence 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 (symbols used aredenedbythemachinemanufacturerand/orinstallerdependingonthemachine's operation and functions).3.2 During normal operationPay attention to the entire work area. Immediately press the STOP pushbutton when a hazardous situation occurs.
14LIDYNE00-07Warnings for useAUTEC - Dynamic SeriesVisually 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, disable the system “machine+radio remote control” until the problem has been completely solved.Use the transmitting unit in a simple and comfortable way, avoiding accidental falls. The waist belt and the shoulder harness provided with the radio remote control are used for that purpose.Do not touch the receiving unit’s metal parts as they may reach high, potentially dangerous temperatures.3.3 After using the radio remote controlSwitch off the transmitting unit when work is stopped or temporarily interrupted. Do not leave the load hanging (even when changing the battery).Never leave the transmitting unit unguarded in order to prevent unauthorised use.If an "Key ID 0-1" is in the transmitting unit, 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.

22LIDYNE00-07General operating instructionsAUTEC - Dynamic Series5 General operating instructions5.1 Starting up the radio remote controlAs required by standards IEC 60204-1 and IEC 60204-32, non authorised use of the machine must be prevented.The power keyswitch used to start up the radio remote control complies with this requirement.Starting up the radio remote control consists in establishing a radio link between the transmitting unit and the receiving unit. For this purpose, you need to:1. power on the receiving unit respecting the voltage limits provided in the technical data. The POWER LED switches on2. Insert a charged battery in the transmitting unit (see paragraph 6.1.1)3. insert the power keyswitch in the transmitting unit (see paragraph 6.3.3)4. press the START pushbutton in the transmitting unit until the POWER LED in the receiving unit and the green LED in the transmitting unit blink slowly.5.2 Command activationWith the radio remote control started, act on the joysticks, pushbuttons and switches corresponding to the command to be performed.The user must be properly trained about the symbols on the transmitting unit panel, to be aware of the matching between actuators and movements on the machine (symbols used are dened by the machine manufacturer according to the functions of the machine).The transmitting unit can have some specic commands (see paragraph 6.6).
AUTEC - Dynamic SeriesGeneral operating instructions 23LIDYNE00-075.3 Data Feedback FunctionThe user receives information and/or signals concerning the controlled machine by means of the Data Feedback function.During normal radio remote control operation, pay particular attention to the indications displayed and signalled by the display or through the LEDs: they can be helpful to evaluate the machine working status.Any information shown and signalled on the display or through the LEDs can never be considered or used as a safety signal or for legal metrology.When operating and moving the machine, remember that the radio remote control does not intervene autonomously when potential hazardous situations are displayed and signalled.5.3.1 Operation with displayIf the transmitting unit has a display, it is possible to show signal icons, measurements collected from the machine and their description.The machine manufacturer chooses which information are displayed and the way they are displayed (icons and/or measurements and/or descriptions).In addition, two indicators are always present: -battery charge level (at the bottom on the left) -quality of radio link (at the bottom on the right).5.3.2 Operation with LEDIf the transmitting unit has an LED array, specic machine conditions are signalled if they are on (i.e. load limits, limit switch, …).The signalled conditions depend on the settings chosen by the machine manufacturer.5.4 Radio link interruptionWhen the radio link is incorrect or interrupted for a certain period of time, the passive stop function automatically cuts in (see paragraph 1.6.1).The green LED on the transmitting unit switches from blinking slowly to fast blinking.The POWER LED on the receiving unit switches from blinking to steady on.Press the START pushbutton to start the radio remote control.Please note that when the START pushbutton is pressed to start up the radio remote control after the radio link had been interrupted, commands that were enabled before the interruption are immediately activated. If this may lead to a dangerous situation, press and then unlock the STOP pushbutton. Only then, press the START pushbutton.

AUTEC - Dynamic SeriesOperation 27LIDYNE00-076.3 Power keyswitchThe transmitting unit have a power keyswitch. It can either be: -mechanical key (see paragraph 6.3.1) -Key ID 0-1 (see paragraph 6.3.2).6.3.1 Mechanical keyThe mechanical key makes it possible to power the transmitting unit. When the mechanical key is required to be used in a transmitting unit, the radio remote control cannot work if it is not inserted.When is required the mechanical key is always required the "ID internal tx memory".6.3.2 Key ID 0-1The "Key ID 0-1" makes it possible to power the transmitting unit.It stores the radio remote control's address. Therefore, the "Key ID 0-1" can only be used in the transmitting unit belonging to its related radio remote control: when the transmitting unit requires the "Key ID 0-1", the radio remote control cannot work if it is not inserted. The technical data sheet indicates if the "Key ID 0-1" is required.As the radio remote control address is stored in the "Key ID 0-1", use it with utmost care to reduce risks that may result from incorrect handling.When is required the "Key ID 0-1" it can't be required also the "ID internal tx memory".6.3.3 power keyswitch insertionPerform the following operations to insert the power keyswitch:1. push the power keyswitch inside the corresponding housing2. rotate the power keyswitch clockwise.6.3.4 power keyswitch removalPerform the following operations to remove the power keyswitch:3. rotate the power keyswitch anticlockwise4. pull the power keyswitch to remove it from the corresponding housing.

32LIDYNE00-07OperationAUTEC - Dynamic Series6.8 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 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 electrical cables.6.8.1 DescriptionThe wire control connects the transmitting unit to the receiving unit through a cable that replaces the radio link. The cable shall be plugged in the suitable connectors, one on the transmitting unit and the other on the receiving unit (or placed where established by the machine manufacturer).When using the wire control, the working features do not change (i.e. the meaning of actuators and the Data Feedback function).6.8.2 OperationBefore starting to work, make sure that the cable and the corresponding connectors are intact.Work organisation, machines' position, passages, etc. shall be planned so as to avoid that the cable of the wire control may be involuntarily and unintentionally damaged by moving trolleys or by the ongoing operations.The wire control can only be connected and disconnected when the transmitting unit is switched o.After connecting or disconnecting the wire control, start up the radio remote control (see paragraph 5.1). to control the machine.During operation with wire control: -radio link is o -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 nish working with the wire control, disconnect the cable from the transmitting unit and from the machine, and protect the connectors with their caps.
AUTEC - Dynamic SeriesTroubleshooting 33LIDYNE00-077 TroubleshootingWhen 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 machine. Therefore, before any inspection, try to control the machine from a control unit dierent 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 7.3.7.1 Radio remote controls with Data Feedback functionIt is still possible that the transmitting unit sends commands to control the machine even if 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 7.3.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 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 properly.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 commands sent by the transmitting unit.7.3 Solutions in case of malfunctionLook 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 the suggested solution has been carried out, contact the support service of the machine manufacturer.
