Each Modular series radio remote control complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
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.
LIMKPNA0
Industrial radio remote controls of the Modular series
are used to command machines from a distance. Each
industrial radio remote control is made up of a portable
transmitting unit, from which the user can remotely
control the machine, and a receiving unit installed on
board the machine itself.
The transmitting unit uses radio frequencies to
transmit a coded message which contains a value
called address. Each receiving unit can only decode
the messages coming from a transmitting unit with the
same address.
This excludes the possibility of an interference
activating any system function. If the radio frequency
transmission is disturbed, incorrect or interrupted, the
receiving unit autonomously stops the whole system.

TECHNICAL DATA
!Following from the status of dip switch no.1 or possibly due to a failure
(of the dip switch itself), a delay up to max 1 second may occasionally
occur between command release and actual deactivation of outputs.
This is due to the characteristics of radio propagation (i.e.: EM
interferences, near out-of-range condition). Care must be taken to
ensure that this could never lead to.

N.B.: During the work
frequency changing
process, the receiving unit
loses radioelectric
connection with the
transmitting unit. After
starting, some seconds may
be necessary to reset
connection, therefore keep
the START button pressed
for about 8÷10 seconds.
The radio frequency of AUTEC radio remote controls is included in the group of
frequencies permitted by regulations that are current at the moment of radio
remote control entry onto the market.
Each radio remote control is programmed by the producer in the AUTOMATIC scan
mode (producer's standard programming) or MANUAL selection mode.
MANUAL SELECTION MODE
When operating in the MANUAL selection mode it is possible to work at a specific
frequency that must be set manually by programming the dip switches in the radio
modules (see “Settings” on page 13).
To set or modify this operation mode contact personnel that have been authorised
by Autec.
AUTOMATIC SCAN MODE
When operating in the AUTOMATIC scan mode it is possible to operate at a specific
frequency, which can be changed in case of interference or conflict with other radio
equipment using the “Changing the operating frequency” procedure.
This mode avoids internal interventions on the transmitting unit and the receiving unit.

If the “machine+radio remote control” system does not start, check if the problem is caused
by the radio remote control or the machine. Before carrying out any verifications, check the
functioning of the machine with the cable control panel:
- if it does not switch on, the problem lies with the machine itself
- if it does switch on, the problem lies with the radio remote control. In this case, proceed as
follows:
When START is
activated, is the red
LED lit steadily
and does the buzzer
sound?
The battery is
discharged:
replace it with one
that is charged.
