Page 2 2 - Introduction LILKNPA1-01 - AmEn.fm 2 INTRODUCTIONReceiving unitTransmitting unitIndustrial radio remote controls of the Light series are used to control machines from a distance. Each industrial radio remote control is made up of a por-table transmitting unit, from which the user can re-motely control the machine, and a receiving unit in-stalled 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 de-code the messages coming from its own transmit-ting unit with the same address.This excludes the possibility of an interference ac-tivating any system function. If the radio transmis-sion is disturbed, incorrect or interrupted, the re-ceiving unit autonomously stops the whole system.Each radio remote control complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.Operation is subject to the following conditions:- this device may not cause a harmful interference, and- 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.Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is installed on applica-tions that are different from those permitted:PERMITTED USESHoisting machines (construction cranes, bridge cranes, machines for material handling in general,…).FORBIDDEN USESMachines installed in areas where equipment with explosion-proof character-istics is required.Machines for moving, raising and transporting people.
LILKNPA1-01 - AmEn.fm 2 - Introduction Page 3All 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 machine producer and/or the person who decides upon radio remote control use and installation is responsible for this analysis.Autec cannot be held responsible if the risk analysis is not carried out correctly.To guarantee correct radio remote control operation, all current regulations regarding safety at work and accident prevention should be respected. All applicable standards and regula-tions 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.System must be installed by a licensed technician and in accordance with all rele-vant local, state/provincial and federal regulations, including but not limited to NEC, OSHA, CE etc.In case of malfunction and/or emergency, disable the system “machine+radio remote control” until the problem has been completely solved.Any damaged part can ONLY be replaced by authorised Autec personnel, and ONLY using original Autec spare parts.2.1 DOCUMENTATIONDocumentation enclosed with each radio remote control includes at least the following:- transmitting unit manual- receiving unit manual- battery charger manual- certificate of guarantee- technical data sheet.Make sure that such documents have been supplied: if they are not, please ask them to Autec specifying the product serial number.Technical data sheetThe technical data sheet shows the wiring diagram between the receiving unit and the ma-chine. The technical data sheet must be filled in and checked by the installer, who is re-sponsible for a correct wiring. Once all necessary checks have been carried out, the installer must undersign the technical data sheet, which must be kept with the user's man-ual (always keep a copy of this data sheet for administrative purposes).

SWITCHING OFFThe transmitting unit should be switched off each time work is stopped by extracting the starting keyswitch (al-ways put the key in a safe place).The transmitter unit may also switch off automatically if the battery is not sufficiently charged and/or when the radio re-mote control is not used for more than 3.5 minutes (refer to paragraph 8 "Programming").STOPThe STOP pushbutton should be pressed when it is necessary to stop the ma-chine immediately when a dangerous condition should occur.To stop the machine immediately, press the STOP pushbutton.To start working again, after checking that the working conditions are safe, turn the STOP pushbutton in the direction indicated to deactivate it and repeat the start-ing procedure.BATTERYTo recharge a low battery, proceed as follows:1. Insert the battery into its proper bat-tery charger, which should be posi-tioned in an area with a temperature between +41°F and 113°F (+5°C and +45°C): the battery now starts charg-ing, a state signalled by the lighting up of the “CHARGE” pilot light.2. After a maximum of 4 hours the “CHARGE” light switches off: the bat-tery is fully charged. Remove the bat-tery from the charger (if the battery is not removed, the charger switches to trickle charging).LILKNPA1-01 - AmEn.fm 6 - Working mode of the LK transmitting unit Page 11
Page 12 7 - Frequencies LILKNPA1-01 - AmEn.fm 7 FREQUENCIESRadio frequency transmission of AUTEC radio remote controls operates inside fre-quency bands permitted by European regulations that are valid when the radio re-mote control is placed on the market.Each radio remote control is programmed by the producer in the AUTOMATIC scan mode (producer's standard programming) or MANUAL selection mode.7.1 MANUAL SELECTION MODEWhen 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 (refer to paragraph 8 "Programming").To set or modify this operation mode contact authorised Autec personnel.7.2 AUTOMATIC SCAN MODEWhen operating in the AUTOMATIC scan mode it is possible to operate at a specific fre-quency, which can be changed in case of interference or conflict with other radio systems, using the “Changing the working frequency” procedure.This mode allows to change the working frequency without internal interventions on the transmitting unit or the receiving unit.Changing the working frequencyab1. With the transmitting unit start-ed (blinking green LED):- press the START pushbutton and keep it pressed (a),- press the STOP pushbutton (b),- release the START pushbutton.2. Unlock the STOP pushbutton by turning it as shown in the pho-to and repeat the starting proce-dure.N.B.: During the working fre-quency changing process, the receiving unit loses radio link with the transmitting unit. After starting, some seconds may be necessary to reset connec-tion, therefore keep the START pushbutton pressed for about 8-10 seconds.
LILKNPA1-01 - AmEn.fm 8 - Programming Page 13 8 PROGRAMMINGThe dip switches must be programmed when the battery is removed from the transmitting unit. Programming must only be carried out by authorised per-sonnel.The incorrect closure of the transmitting unit can compromise the seal be-tween the casings and thereby the protection degree from dust and water.For the correct functioning, the group of 8 dip switches (excluding DIP 1) for the radio modules E16STXUS1 (transmitting unit) and E16SRXUS1 (receiving unit) must be set in the same way.8.1 PROGRAMMING THE E16STXUS1 TRANSMITTING MODULEGroup of 8 dip switchesGroup of 4 dip switchesThe group of eight dip switches locat-ed on the radio module are used to program some functions and set the working frequency.The programming set in the other group of four dip switches must never be modified.Group of 8 dip switchesDIP STATE FUNCTION1ONOFF2ONOFF3ONOFF3-78ONOFFThe transmitting unit never switches off automaticallyIf the transmitting unit stays switched on without any movement commands entered, it switches off after approx. 3.5 minutesDeactivation of low battery warning from horn on machineActivation of low battery warning from horn on machineIf DIP 8 is OFF automatic scan of the frequencies in the band 915 -928 MHzIf DIP 8 is OFF automatic scan of the frequencies in the band 902 - 915 MHzON/OFF If DIP 8 is ON see “Appendix: Frequency Table”Manual selection mode of the frequencies using DIP 3 - DIP 7 (refer to “Appendix: Frequency Table”)Automatic scan mode of the frequencies in the band selected by DIP 3 (DIP 4 - DIP 7 indifferent)
Page 14 9 - LK transmitting unit diagnostics LILKNPA1-01 - AmEn.fm 9 LK TRANSMITTING UNIT DIAGNOSTICSIf the system “machine+radio remote control” does not start, check if the problem is caused by the radio remote control or the machine. Therefore, before carrying out any verification connect the cable control unit: if the machine does not start, the problem lies with the ma-chine itself.If, on the other hand, the machine only starts using the cable control panel, the problem lies with the radio remote control. In this case, follow the diagnostics procedure of the transmit-ting unit and then proceed as follows:Is the LED lit with a steady light when activating the START?STOP pushbutton or one of the movement actuators are activated: disconnect it/them.Is the LED lit with a steady light?Does the LED blink fast?The battery is dis-charged: replace it with a fully charged one. Does it contin-ue to blink fast?Clean the contacts in the battery hous-ing. Does it continue to blink fast?Does the LED blink slowly?Carry out diagnostics checks on the receiving unit.If the problempersists,CALLTECHNICALASSISTANCEYESNO NOYESYESYESNONONONOYESYES
