8.1 Power keyswitch
When the Transmitting Unit has a power keyswitch, this can be:
-A mechanical key (see paragraph 8.1.1)
-A Key ID 0-1 (see paragraph 8.1.2).
The Radio Remote Control cannot work if the power keyswitch is not inserted in the Transmitting
Unit.
8.1.1 Mechanical key
The mechanical key makes it possible to power the Transmitting
Unit.
8.1.2 "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 of the Radio
Remote Control to which it belongs.
As the Radio Remote Control's address is stored in the "Key ID
0-1", this must be used with very strict care.
Only use the "Key ID 0-1" for the Transmitting Unit with which it was provided.
8.1.3 power keyswitch insertion

A
A
A"Enabling&Stop" pushbutton
The "Enabling&Stop" pushbutton is used to perform two functions:
a. Enabling function: if it is activated at the same time as other actuators, it enables sending
the corresponding commands to the Machine;
b. Stop function: if it is released or completely pressed, it switches o the Transmitting Unit
and stops the Radio Remote Control.
These are the three possible positions for the "Enabling&Stop" pushbutton:
1. not pressed (OFF - rest position): the release of the "Enabling&Stop" pushbutton stops
the Radio Remote Control;
2. halfway pressed (ON - rst step): the "Enabling&Stop" pushbutton enables the operation
of the other actuators in the Radio Remote Control;
3. completely pressed (OFF - second step): the "Enabling&Stop" pushbutton disables the
operation of the other actuators while also stopping the Radio Remote Control.
The Radio Remote Control can start only if the "Enabling&Stop" pushbutton is in the halfway
position (position “2”; see paragraph 8.11)
When you release the "Enabling&Stop" pushbutton from position "3", you will skip position
"2" and go directly to position "1".
To start the Radio Remote Control again and enable it to control the Machine after the

8.9 Zero-G sensor
The Transmitting Unit is equipped with a Zero-G sensor only upon request
of the Machine Manufacturer and/or of the Installer, who are responsible for
the decision on the conditions for the Zero-G sensor to activate.
The Zero-G sensor can activate for one or more of the following causes:
-Impact: the Zero-G sensor activates when the Transmitting Unit impacts with at least a
30-centimetre movement and with an acceleration higher than 2g.
-Fall: the Zero-G sensor activates when the Transmitting Unit falls from higher than 1 meter.
-Tilt: the Zero-G sensor activates when the Transmitting Unit is tilted for more than one
second by a dened angle with respect to the ground. The value of the tilting angle is set
by Autec, but it is decided by the Machine Manufacturer and/or by the Installer (possible
options: 45°/60°/90°).
The Zero-G sensor may also activate if the Transmitting Unit is thrown or is rolling. In this
case the Zero-G sensor activates due to the rst detected event among the above-mentioned
ones (impact, fall, tilt).
Autec sets the system so that when the Zero-G sensor activates, one of the following
behavior occur:
-the Transmitting Unit switches o,
-all the Radio Remote Control's commands are deactivated, except one particular Machine
function, which is activated at the same time (e.g. horn).
The Machine Manufacturer and/or the Installer have the responsibility to
decide the behaviour of the Zero-G sensor. Before using the Machine, the
User must be aware of the expected behaviour and make sure that it works
correctly.
8.10 Vibration alarm
The LK NEO 10 DF Transmitting Unit (Model LKN Type DA2FM) can be equipped with the
"Vibration alarm".
The "Vibration alarm" activates the Transmitting Unit's vibration if specic signals coming
from the Machine are shown on the display.
The Transmitting Unit's vibration aims at drawing the User's attention to the corresponding
signal shown on the display.
The Transmitting Unit can be equipped with the "Vibration alarm" upon request of the Machine
Manufacturer and/or the Installer.
The Machine Manufacturer and/or the Installer decide which signals shown
in the display must cause the vibration of the Transmitting Unit.

8.11 Starting up the Radio Remote Control
Starting up the Radio Remote Control consists in establishing a radio link between the
Transmitting Unit and the Receiving Unit.
The Radio Remote Control start up is protected by means of a power
keyswitch and/or a PIN code to prevent unauthorised use of the Machine.
To start up the Radio Remote Control, you need to insert the power keyswitch
and\or to key in the PIN code according to the procedure provided in
paragraph 8.11.1,8.11.2 or 8.11.3.
The PIN code is not a sequence of numbers, but it consists in the sequential activation of
actuators.
Commands associated to the actuators that are activated while inserting the PIN
code are not sent to the Machine.
If the Transmitting Unit does not have a power keyswitch, the Radio Remote Control start
up is protected by PIN code.
On the contrary, when the Transmitting Unit needs a power keyswitch, Radio Remote Control
start up is protected by the power keyswitch itself. If the risk assessment requires further
protection of the Radio Remote Control start up, the PIN code can be activated too.
8.11.1 power keyswitch start up (no PIN code)
When the Receiving Unit is powered on correctly, perform the following procedure:
1. Insert a charged battery in the Transmitting Unit (see paragraph 8.7.1),
2. insert the power keyswitch in the Transmitting Unit (see paragraph 8.1.3),
3. press the "Enabling&Stop" pushbutton halfway (ON - rst step, see paragraph 8.6),
4. press the START pushbutton and hold it down until the green LED blinks quickly.
5. release the START pushbutton.
When the green LED blinks slowly, the Radio Remote Control is active and it can send

amongst all the commands on the Unit. If you want to start the Radio Remote Control with:
-a single-command PIN code: press the START pushbutton as PIN 1 and PIN 3;
-two-command PIN code: press the START pushbutton as PIN 1 or PIN 3.
6. Activate the command you want to allocate as PIN 1 (LED 1 and green LED are steady on).
7. Activate the command you want to allocate as PIN 2 (LED 2 and green LED are steady on).
8. Activate the command you want to allocate as PIN 3 (LED 3 and green LED are steady
on). PIN code is saved automatically.
8.12 Command activation
When the Radio Remote Control is started, it is possible to activate movements, functions
and commands on the Machine by acting on the related pushbuttons or switches, whose
functions and symbols are decided by the Manufacturer and/or the Installer. To identify the
relation between the actuators and the corresponding Machine movements, the Machine
Manufacturer and/or the Installer shall provide relevant instructions and the User shall be
properly trained.
8.13 Radio link interruption
When the radio link is incorrect or interrupted, the automatic stop function activates (see
paragraph "Control devices" in the Instruction Manual's general part).
The green LED on the Transmitting Unit switches from blinking slowly to blinking fast , steady
on, repeats the sequence: two blinks and a pause or three blinks and a pause (see chapter 11).
8.14 Transmitting Unit automatic switch o
The Transmitting Unit automatically switches o when:
-the battery is at (see paragraph 8.14.1),
-the Radio Remote Control is not used for a certain time (see paragraph 8.14.2).

General operating instructions
AUTEC - Air series
8.14.1 Low battery
The Transmitting Unit indicates if the battery is not suciently charged.
-the red LED blinks slowly (one blink per second): the battery has less than 1h run time.
-The red LED blinks fast: the battery has a 10 minute run time from the rst signal, after
which the Transmitting Unit automatically switches o.
The battery needs to be replaced with a charged one (see paragraph 8.7).
8.14.2 When the Transmitting Unit is not used
If the Transmitting Unit remains started with no enabled commands, it will automatically
switch o after a predetermined time frame. This time frame is specied in the Technical
Data Sheet (SWITCH-OFF).
Before the Transmitting Unit switches o automatically, the green and red LEDs blink
alternating for 30 seconds.
Activating any actuator corresponding to a movement command reduces the predetermined
automatic switch-o time (SWITCH-OFF) to zero.
Setting or removal of the automatic switch o time (SWITCH-OFF) is done by
Autec and decided by the Machine Manufacturer or by the Installer, depending
on the operation and functions they need on the Machine.
8.15 Switching o the Transmitting Unit
Switch o the Transmitting Unit when not actively using the Radio Remote
Control to operate the Machine, or when work is otherwise interrupted, even
for short periods. Do not leave the load hanging or the Machine in dangerous
conditions (even when charging the Unit or changing the battery).
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Voluntary switch o of the Transmitting Unit occurs in the following cases:
-when the power keyswitch (if present) is turned anti-clockwise or removed;
-when battery is removed (see paragraph 8.7.2);
-when the "Enabling&Stop" is released or completely pressed (see paragraph 8.6);
-when the STOP pushbutton is pressed.

8.16 "Data Feedback" function
The "Data Feedback" function acts through the LED array or the display. The User receives
information and/or signals concerning some particular situations and the movements of the
controlled Machine by means of this 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 and/or through the
"Data Feedback" 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 operate autonomously when potential hazardous situations
are displayed and signalled.
If the green LED repeats the sequence "three blinks and a pause", there is no
information and/or signals coming from the "Data Feedback" function. In this
case, bring the Transmitting Unit closer to the Receiving Unit until the green
LED blinks slowly.
8.16.1 Operation with display
If the Transmitting Unit has a display, it is possible to show warning icons, the 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).
8.16.2 Operation with LED
If the Transmitting Unit has an LED array for the "Data Feedback" function, specic Machine
conditions are signalled if they are illuminated (by way of example: load limits, limit switch).
The signalled conditions depend on the settings chosen by the Machine Manufacturer.

8.17 BACK-UP UNIT
If the Transmitting Unit cannot be used, it can be replaced with a Transmitting Unit called
"BACK-UP UNIT"; you need to ask for it from Autec.
It is identical to the Unit that can no longer be used; the only dierence is the presence of
the plate “BACK-UP UNIT” on the battery housing.
Set DIP switch 2 in the "BACK-UP UNIT" as shown in the Technical Data Sheet.
If no "Key ID 0-1" or "ID internal tx memory" is present in the Transmitting
Unit that can no longer be used, perform the PAIR procedure to pair the
“BACK-UP UNIT” with a Receiving Unit (the Technical Data Sheet shows
which PAIR procedure to use).
If a "Key ID 0-1" or an "ID internal tx memory" is present in the Transmitting
Unit that can no longer be used, move it to the "BACK-UP UNIT" and perform
the address saving procedure described below.
As required by standard IEC 60204-32, each Radio Remote Control is uniquely
identied through a serial number. Therefore, upon replacement of the Unit,
the serial number of the Transmitting Unit to be replaced must be marked
on the "BACK-UP UNIT", so that all Units belonging to the Radio Remote
Control will show the same serial number.
Autec cannot be held responsible if the serial number of the Transmitting
Unit to be replaced has not been marked on the "BACK-UP UNIT".
Address storage
With fully charged battery and power keyswitch in the "BACK-UP UNIT", perform this procedure:
1. press the "Enabling&Stop" pushbutton halfway (ON - rst step, see paragraph 8.6),
2. press the START pushbutton and hold it down until the green and red LEDs light up,
3. wait until the green LED blinks slowly,
4. within 3 seconds, activate in sequence the commands corresponding to PIN 1, PIN 2 and
PIN 3 that compose the PIN code given in the Technical Data Sheet.
If the PIN code is incorrect, the red LED illuminates and the Transmitting Unit switches o.
In this case, the storage procedure shall be repeated.
If the PIN code is correct, the green LED turns steady on and the Transmitting Unit switches
o: this indicates that the address has been stored in the "BACK-UP UNIT". It is now
possible to start the Radio Remote Control and control the Machine with the "BACK-UP
UNIT" Transmitting Unit.
