Passive stop cut-in time is set by the machine manufacturer (see technical data sheet). AUTEC - Dynamic Series LIDYNE00-07 8 Radio remote control description 1.3 Applications Dynamic 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 link The 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 (specific 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). LIDYNE00-07 AUTEC - Dynamic Series Radio remote control description 1.5 Classification of commands Commands sent by the transmitting unit are classified according to their type. 1.5.1 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. 1.5.2 Name of commands All commands sent by the transmitting unit are identified by abbreviations, which are written in the technical data sheet to highlight the match between commands sent and machine functions. 1.6 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. 1.6.1 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 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 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). AUTEC - Dynamic Series LIDYNE00-07 10 Radio remote control description 1.6.2 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 specific 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 control As required by standard IEC 60204-32, each radio remote control is uniquely identified through a serial number (S/N). The serial number is provided in the identification 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) LIDYNE00-07 AUTEC - Dynamic Series Risk assessment 11 2 Risk assessment When 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 machines When 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 account 2.1.1 Aspects related to radio link Whenever the radio link is interrupted (i.e. stop, low battery, automatic switch off, 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 time Due to the characteristics of radio propagation (i.e.: EM interference, outof-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 specific uses. AUTEC - Dynamic Series LIDYNE00-07 12 Risk assessment 2.1.3 Protection from unintended activation 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” function) if particular environments, equipment and working modes could cause accidental bumps to the actuators. 2.1.4 Command activation and loss of command Please 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 Staff training All installation, usage and maintenance operations must be carried out by qualified 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 used 2.3 Working conditions To 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. LIDYNE00-07 AUTEC - Dynamic Series Warnings for use 13 Warnings for use In 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 work Stand 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 difficult 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 defined by the machine manufacturer and/or installer depending on the machine's operation and functions). 3.2 During normal operation Pay attention to the entire work area. Immediately press the STOP pushbutton when a hazardous situation occurs. AUTEC - Dynamic Series LIDYNE00-07 14 Warnings for use 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, 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 control Switch 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. LIDYNE00-07 AUTEC - Dynamic Series Radio remote control life cycle 15 4 Radio remote control life cycle To ensure safe and long-lasting operation of industrial radio remote controls, carefully follow the instructions provided for each stage of the product life cycle. 4.1 Transportation and storage Radio remote controls must always be transported and stored inside their packing until they are installed on the machine. Environmental transportation and storage conditions are given in the following table. Temperature Relative Humidity Air Pressure Transportation Class 2K4 -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F) Class 2K4 95% Class 2K4 70kPa to 106kPa Storage Class 1K5 -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F) Class 1K3 5% to 95% Class 1K5 70kPa to 106kPa 4.2 Installation The radio remote control can only be installed and tested by competent staff that masters the technical knowledge required to carry out these procedures and is qualified according to the regulation of the country where the radio remote control is mounted.

Please contact the machine manufacturer or the person who decided upon the installation of the radio remote control for instructions and warnings regarding the installation. AUTEC - Dynamic Series LIDYNE00-07 16 4.3 Radio remote control life cycle Use The use of industrial radio remote controls is strictly limited to skilled and 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. All warnings for correct use are given in chapter 3. All instructions for correct use are given in chapters 5 and 6. Environmental working conditions are given in the following table. Temperature Use of the transmitting unit Class 5K4H -25°C to +55°C (-13°F to +130°F) Use of the receiving unit Class 5K2 -25°C to +70°C b (-13°F to +158°F) b. Relative Humidity Air Pressure Class 5K2 5% to 95% Class 5K2 70kPa to 106kPa The receiving unit can work at 70°C (185°F) only if the sum of currents corresponding to the loads simultaneously activated by digital and analogue outputs does not exceed 10A. 4.4 Radio remote control maintenance The following instructions provide information to safely carry out routine and special maintenance operations for the radio remote control. They shall be completed by: -- instructions provided by the machine manufacturer -- directions provided by the installer of the radio remote control on the machine -- regulations regarding safety at work and accident prevention in force in the country where the radio remote control is used. All fine-tuning, checking and maintenance actions carried out on the radio remote control shall be verified and recorded by the person in charge of carrying out maintenance on the machine. LIDYNE00-07 AUTEC - Dynamic Series Radio remote control life cycle 17 Before any maintenance operation, remove the battery from the transmitting unit and disconnect power supply from the receiving unit. After each maintenance operation, always make sure that all commands sent by the transmitting unit only activate the corresponding expected operations. In case of malfunction or damaged parts, disable the system “machine+radio remote control” until the problem has been completely solved. After each maintenance operation, if a unit has been opened, close it correctly, in order not to endanger its protection degree from dust and water: check that the gasket is intact, correctly overlay the two parts of the housing and tighten the screws. 4.4.1 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 need more specific routine maintenance actions to be carried out at different periods (i.e. if the working environment is particularly dirty, in case of heavy applications or if the system is used very frequently, some maintenance actions may be required more frequently, depending on the decision of the person in charge for safety in the work site). 4.4.2 Daily routine maintenance Before starting to work: -- make sure that the transmitting unit panel symbols can be easily recognised and replace the panel if necessary -- check that the three plates on the transmitting unit are readable and intact -- make sure that the mechanical operation of the STOP pushbutton is correct -- check structural integrity of the transmitting unit. AUTEC - Dynamic Series LIDYNE00-07 18 Radio remote control life cycle During normal operation: -- avoid causing structural damage to the transmitting unit -- make sure that materials that could endanger the transmitting unit usage and safety (such as concrete, sand, lime, dust) do not deposit on it. After using the radio remote control: -- clean the transmitting unit: never use solvents or flammable/corrosive materials and do not use high-pressure water cleaners or steam cleaners -- store the transmitting unit in clean and dry areas. 4.4.3 Three-month routine maintenance Every three months: -- remove dust or deposit of material from the receiving unit: never use solvents or flammable/ corrosive materials to clean it, and do not use high-pressure water cleaners or steam cleaners -- check structural integrity of the receiving unit -- make sure that the wiring of the receiving unit is intact and connected -- make sure that the receiving unit panel symbols can be easily recognised and replace the panel if necessary -- check that the plates on the receiving unit are readable and intact. 4.4.4 Special maintenance Special maintenance consists of repairs needed due to radio remote control failure, damage or malfunction, carried out with the aim of restoring the original usage and working conditions. Prior to contacting the support service technicians: -- read and understand all documents related to the radio remote control, and make sure that all the instructions they contain have been accomplished correctly -- follow the instructions to detect possible malfunctions and their origins. Any fault should be repaired by authorised personnel only (contact the support service of the machine's manufacturer), using original Autec spare parts only. The following radio remote control data must be reported in order to make interventions faster and more reliable: -- radio remote control serial number -- purchase date (given on the certificate of guarantee) -- description of the problem found -- address and telephone number of the place where the device is being used (with the name of the person to contact) -- local supplier. LIDYNE00-07 AUTEC - Dynamic Series Radio remote control life cycle 19 4.4.5 Preventive replacement of actuators (joysticks, pushbuttons and selectors) Each actuator on the transmitting units can be used for a maximum number of operations. Replace joysticks, pushbuttons and selectors on the transmitting unit before they reach the maximum number of operations, even though they are still working. Replacement prevents possible failures that may lead to loss of safety. Actuator Max. operations Actuator Max. operations 5x106 5x106 5x106 106 3x106 6x106 5x104 106 105 AUTEC - Dynamic Series LIDYNE00-07 20 Radio remote control life cycle 4.4.6 Additional maintenance operations in environments with corrosive agents If the radio remote control is used in environments where corrosive agents are present (e.g. sea water, salt fog, salt...), apply grease to the electrical connections to protect them. Only use electrically non-conductive, polyalphaolefin and silicate-based grease for electrical contacts. Do not use polyether-, polyoilester- and polyphenyl ether-based grease. Macon Research's Electric Grease CN 4070 can be used. Check and replace grease as frequently as shown in the following table: Type of connection Grease check frequency Re-greasing frequency BNC connector for antenna every 4-6 months If dirt and impurities are found Receiving unit's plug every 4-6 months If dirt and impurities are found Connectors for transmitting unit's and receiving unit's cable controlc 1 month If dirt and impurities are found, and once a year anyway Contacts of transmitting unit, battery charger and battery weekly If dirt and impurities are found, and once every three months anyway Key ID 0-1 weekly If dirt and impurities are found, and once every three months anyway c. It is recommended to disconnect the cable control cable and to store it in a protected place when it is not in use. When carrying out this kind of maintenance operations, follow these recommendations: -- make sure that the surface of electrical connections is covered with a layer of grease and add it if necessary -- contact the support service of the machine's manufacturer if evident oxidation is detected. LIDYNE00-07 AUTEC - Dynamic Series Radio remote control life cycle 21 4.5 Machine maintenance Follow instructions provided by the machine manufacturer and by the installer of the radio remote control, in order to carry out machine maintenance. When carrying out maintenance on the machine, always disconnect power supply from the receiving unit. In the event of necessary maintenance on the machine (i.e. soldering), disconnect all the electrical connections of the receiving unit. 4.6 Disposal When disposing of a radio remote control, give it to the waste separate collecting services in the user's country. AUTEC - Dynamic Series LIDYNE00-07 22 General operating instructions General operating instructions 5.1 Starting up the radio remote control As 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 on 2. 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 activation With 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 defined by the machine manufacturer according to the functions of the machine). The transmitting unit can have some specific commands (see paragraph 6.6). LIDYNE00-07 AUTEC - Dynamic Series General operating instructions 5.3 23 Data Feedback Function The 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 display If 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 LED If the transmitting unit has an LED array, specific 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 interruption When 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 Series LIDYNE00-07 24 5.5 General operating instructions Transmitting unit automatic switch off The transmitting unit automatically switches off when: -- the battery is flat (see paragraph 5.5.1) -- the radio remote control is not used for a certain time (see paragraph 5.5.2) -- the transmitting unit is powered and never switched off for eight hours non-stop (see paragraph 5.5.3). The green LED on the transmitting unit switches off. The POWER LED on the receiving unit switches from blinking to steady on. Press the START pushbutton to start the radio remote control. 5.5.1 Low battery The transmitting unit indicates if the battery is not sufficiently charged (the red LED blinks and an acoustic signal sounds). The transmitting unit automatically switches off after 3.5 minutes from the beginning of the signal. The battery needs to be replaced with a charged one (see paragraph 6.1). 5.5.2 When the transmitting unit is not used If the transmitting unit remains started for a time equal to the “auto switch-off time” while none of these commands is enabled: SAFETY, D2-D10, H1-H8 and L1-L8, then it automatically switches off. The activation of this function and its cut-in time are decided by the machine manufacturer (see the "Automatic Switch Off" value in the technical data sheet). 5.5.3 Non-stop use The transmitting unit indicates if it has been used for eight hours non-stop (the red LED blinks and an acoustic signal sounds). The transmitting unit automatically switches off after 3.5 minutes from the beginning of the signal. LIDYNE00-07 AUTEC - Dynamic Series General operating instructions 5.6 25 Switching off the transmitting unit The transmitting unit shall be switched off each time work is stopped. Voluntary transmitting unit's switch off occurs: -- when the power keyswitch (if present) is turned anti-clockwise -- when battery is removed (see paragraph 6.1.2) -- when the STOP pushbutton is pressed. 5.7 Switching off the receiving unit The receiving unit shall be switched off each time the radio remote control is not used to control the machine. Remove power from the unit to switch it off. When the radio remote control is installed on machines on board vehicles, switch off the receiving unit while the vehicle is travelling. AUTEC - Dynamic Series LIDYNE00-07 26 Operation Operation 6.1 Battery The Dynamic series' transmitting units can only be powered by Autec rechargeable batteries. See the battery charger manual enclosed in the packaging with the battery charger for any warnings and instructions regarding the batteries. 6.1.1 Battery insertion Push the battery towards the contacts on the transmitting unit (1) and insert it inside the housing (2). The battery slides easily into place and ensures that the positive (+) and negative (-) poles are correctly connected only if it is inserted with the plate facing its housing, so that the battery's contacts match the transmitting unit's contacts. 6.1.2 Battery removal Push the battery towards the contacts on the transmitting unit (3) and remove it from the housing (4). When the transmitting unit is not in use, remove the battery if possible. 6.2 ID internal tx memory The transmitting unit may require the "ID internal tx memory", where the radio remote control's address is stored.The technical data sheet indicates if the "ID internal tx memory" is required. When is required the "ID internal tx memory" is always required the mechanical key. LIDYNE00-07 AUTEC - Dynamic Series Operation 6.3 27 Power keyswitch The 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 key The 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 0-1 The "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 insertion Perform the following operations to insert the power keyswitch: 1. push the power keyswitch inside the corresponding housing 2. rotate the power keyswitch clockwise. 6.3.4 power keyswitch removal Perform the following operations to remove the power keyswitch: 3. rotate the power keyswitch anticlockwise 4. pull the power keyswitch to remove it from the corresponding housing. AUTEC - Dynamic Series LIDYNE00-07 28 Operation 6.3.5 BACK-UP UNIT If the main transmitting unit cannot be used because it has been lost or damaged, it can be replaced with a transmitting unit called "BACK-UP UNIT". It is identical to the unit that cannot be used anymore; the only difference is the presence of the plate “BACK-UP UNIT” on the battery housing. Insert in the "BACK-UP UNIT" the “Key ID 0-1” or the “ID internal tx memory” of the transmitting unit that cannot be used any longer and perform the address storage procedure described below. Address storage With fully charged battery and power keyswitch in the "BACK-UP UNIT", perform this procedure: 1. press the STOP pushbutton 2. press the START pushbutton and do not release it until the green LED switches off 3. unlock the STOP pushbutton It is now possible to start the radio remote control and control the machine with the "BACKUP UNIT" transmitting unit. 6.4 START pushbutton The START pushbutton is used to: -- start up the radio remote control (see paragraphs 5.1, 5.4 and 5.5) -- activate the horn when the radio remote control is started. LIDYNE00-07 AUTEC - Dynamic Series Operation 6.5 29 STOP pushbutton The STOP pushbutton should be pressed when it is necessary to immediately stop the machine when a dangerous condition occurs. When the STOP pushbutton is pressed, the machine stops (active stop: see paragraph 1.6.1), and the transmitting unit switches off. To start working again after the STOP pushbutton has been pressed: 1. make sure that the working and usage conditions are safe 2. turn the STOP pushbutton in the arrow direction to unlock it 3. start up the radio remote control (see paragraph 5.1). 6.6 Command meaning Commands on the transmitting unit are established according to the machine's operations and functions. They are established by the machine manufacturer, who also chooses the symbols used. Some of the commands available on the transmitting unit are described in the following paragraphs (symbols provided here are generally used). 6.6.1 RPM+/- switch (during normal operation) This switch increases (rpm +) or decreases (rpm -) the engine revolutions of the remote controlled machine. Symbol Meaning This symbol indicates the increase of the machine's engine revolutions. This symbol indicates the decrease of the machine's engine revolutions. AUTEC - Dynamic Series LIDYNE00-07 30 Operation 6.6.2 TEACH switch (during REMOTE SETUP) This switch is used to calibrate minimum and maximum values of proportional outputs. Symbol Meaning This symbol identifies the TEACH+ command. This symbol identifies the TEACH- command. 6.6.3 MOVEMENT SPEED SELECTOR This switch is used to modify the movement speed. Depending on the configuration: -- it sets two or three speed levels -- it increases and/or decreases speed. Symbol Meaning This symbol indicates the normal machine's speed. This symbol indicates a reduction in the machine's speed (the reduction is set by the manufacturer). This symbol, if present, indicates a further reduction in the machine's speed (the reduction is set by the manufacturer). LIDYNE00-07 AUTEC - Dynamic Series Operation 6.6.4 31 Engine on/off switch This switch is used to switch on and off the engine of the remote controlled machine. Symbol Meaning This symbol indicates that the engine is powered on. This symbol indicates that the engine is switched off. 6.7 Low Power function The LOW POWER function allows transmission at a lower power than the nominal power (see paragraph 1.2) and reduces the radio remote control working range. This function aims at: -- making it easier to work with several systems in the same working environment (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). AUTEC - Dynamic Series LIDYNE00-07 32 Operation 6.8 Cable 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 electrical cables. 6.8.1 Description The 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 Operation Before 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 off. 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 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 connectors with their caps. LIDYNE00-07 AUTEC - Dynamic Series Troubleshooting 33 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 machine. 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 7.3. 7.1 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, 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 control Please 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 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 the suggested solution has been carried out, contact the support service of the machine manufacturer.
