SECTION 1: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION1.1 INTRODUCTIONThe Remtron Radio Remote ControlSystems are designed for control of industrial ratedmachinery. This system complies with requirements foroperation under part 15 of the FCC rules and regulations.This means neither the operator nor the company needapply or register for a license to operate this equipment.The basic system consists of a transmitter and a receiver.The transmitter sends commands to the receiver by meansof radio waves in the 900 MHz band. Receivers operatefrom 115 VAC 50/60 Hz power. Operation from 220VAC is also available.1.2 TRANSMITTER DESCRIPTIONThe hand held transmitters are housed inrugged cases molded from a modified polymer plasticthat stands up to extremely rugged use. A key feature ofthe hand held transmitters is Remtron's patented switchassembly for control inputs. This long life elastomerickeypad is ergonomically designed to provide easyoperation over long periods of time with exceptionalreliability.The lever and joystick transmitters providerugged yet lightweight housings that allow daylong usewithout a strain on the back.All the transmitter functions are controlled by amicroprocessor with a special memory for configurationinformation. This offers a great degree of capability andversatility while at the same time providing simplicity ofoperation and maintenance.The antenna is internal to most transmitter cases, protectingit from damage. An indicator LED provides a quickvisual check of the transmitters status.The transmitter sends data at two rates. When a switchis pressed or released, three rapid commands aregenerated to insure a fast system response. The transmitterthen reverts to a 1/3 rate to conserve battery power.The crane control transmitters are designed to be veryefficient. Only two AA batteries are needed to providepower for the 21T10 or 21T14 transmitters for a month'snormal use. Other transmitters contain additional batteriesfor even longer operating time between battery changes.An additional feature automatically shuts the transmitteroff after a preset time interval of inactivity to furtherextend the battery life.Refer to Section 5 for details on the specific transmittersupplied with your system.1.3 RECEIVER DESCRIPTIONThe receivers consist of twosubassemblies, an RF/Decoder board and a Relay board,mounted inside a NEMA 12 cabinet. They are equippedwith two safety relays in addition to the control relays.RF/Decoder BoardThe RF/Decoder Board contains the Radio Receiverand the Microprocessor based control system. Signalsare received by an advanced synthesized RF modulethat operates in conjunction with the microprocessor.Commands are received on one of 87 possiblefrequencies and are checked against a 16 bit addresscode for proper identity and further tested against a 16bit CRC check code. This insures only valid informationmeant only for the particular unit is decoded.The microprocessor contains a nonvolatile memory thatretains the frequency, address and particular operatingparameters for the system. The receiver is programmableby means of PC compatible computers equipped withan RS-232 serial port or by an independent programmingunit.Relay board.The Relay board contains the output relays and the powersupply. Two (2) relays form part of the safety system.All outputs include spike snubbers to remove transientvoltages from the control lines.For convenience, the interface terminal strips are un-pluggable. The relay board can be easily removed withoutthe necessity of tracking wire numbers and positions.1.1
The power is from 115 VAC, 50/60 Hertz. Optional220 VAC, 50/60 Hertz, 250 VDC and other powerinputs are available. The input is protected by a fuse.Safety FeaturesControlling heavy industrial equipment requires that theremote control system be reliable with built-in safetyfeatures. Each transmission goes through several checksto insure that the information being received is error free.The safety interlocks for the crane's Main Line Contactor(MLC) consist of the operate (OPR) and operate inhibit(OPI) relays. These relays are controlled by themicroprocessor and by a hardware circuit. Further, onerelay has normally open contacts while the other hasnormally closed contacts. This provides three levels ofsafety in controlling the Main Contactor for the crane.Over 5 million combinations of frequencies and addresscodes means that no two systems will ever be producedwith the same frequency and address code, therebyinsuring that no transmitter will ever be able tounintentionally control another crane.DiagnosticsEven though the receivers are technically very complex,it is exceptionally easy to maintain and troubleshoot.Diagnostic LEDs plus an LED for each output relay areall that are required to isolate a problem should oneoccur. Both the transmitter and receiver assembly monitorand indicate their status on a continuous basis.1.4 OPTIONSThe following options are available on all receivers:First Come-First Serve.Pitch and Catch.1.2SECTION 1: SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONThe following options are only available on the21R22 receiver:Stepless (proportional) Outputs:External Hard Wire Inputs.Extra Relay Outputs.Pilot Lights.Intermediate Relay Panel.DC Power Supply.Transfer Switch.Refer to Section 6 for more information on the options.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION2.1 INSTALLATION PLANNINGTo ensure reliable and safe operation of the system, thefollowing points must be considered before installing thereceiver assembly.If the receiver cabinet is to be installed outdoors,connections to the cabinet must be water tight.If the receiver is installed in a corrosive environment,consult the factory for optional NEMA 4X cabinets, orhouse the receiver cabinet in a secondary protectiveenclosure.If the receiver is to be installed in environments wherethe ambient temperature drops below -20OF (-7OC)or rises above +160OF (+70OC) measures must be takento maintain the interior of the enclosure to within thesetemperature limits.2.2 MOUNTING LOCATIONRefer to section 6, Receiver Description, for thereceiver cabinet dimensions and layout. When planningthe location for mounting the receiver, observe thefollowing rules:1. Allow sufficient room to swing the cabinet dooropen for ease of wiring and service.2. If the antenna is mounted directly on the receivercabinet, allow a minimum or 8 inches below thecabinet for clearance. Refer to 2.3 ANTENNAMOUNTING for more information.3. If possible, avoid mounting the receiver on a surfacewhere excessive vibration or shock is present. Ifthis is not possible, appropriate shock mounts mustbe used.4. Allow for positive earth ground to the receivercabinet.2.12.3 ANTENNA MOUNTINGThe antenna is one of the most important parts of a radioreceiving system. The receiver is designed with a speciallytuned antenna to provide excellent operating reliabilityunder most conditions. Care in placing the receiverantenna will ensure reliable operation under the mostsevere conditions.A direct "line-of-sight" between the transmitter andreceiver antenna will provide the best performance. Theradio signal will often "bounce" off metallic objects andreach the receiver even when the antenna is directlyshielded from the transmitter.In most cases the antenna may be mounted directly onthe receiver cabinet. If the receiver cabinet location isnot suitable and the antenna must be mounted at a remotelocation, the p/n 600038 antenna kit should be used.The remote mounting kit includes a right angle bracketwith antenna mount and a coaxial extension cable.It is recommended that the receiver not be connected topower lines where large transients are present. Thesetransients are typically caused by motors, contactors andother large inductive loads.2.4 RECEIVER INSTALLATIONInspect all items to insure they have been received ingood condition. The following items are included unlessotherwise noted on the packing list.- Transmitter- Transmitter leather holster- Transmitter shoulder strap- Receiver assembly- Receiver antenna
MountingMount the receiver cabinet securely to a solid surface.Use appropriate locking type hardware to preventloosening. Refer to Figure 6.1.Mechanical1. Connect the conduit or raceway to the receivercabinet and route the wiring into the cabinet.2. The receiver cabinet should be properly grounded.Make sure all paint is removed from the bondingsurfaces.Electrical Connections.If you have any questions regarding the installation, callRemtron applications engineering.When wiring the receiver, it is recommended the wiresbe dressed along the sides of the cabinet. This will alloweasy troubleshooting and maintenance should it berequired. Some receiver cabinets are provided with apre-punched hole for ease of conduit installation.Refer to the diagram in Appendix A for typical wiringinstallation of the receiver. The configuration sheetprovided with your equipment will have the specific relayassignments for your system.1. Power/Transfer Switch Wiring.A three pole transfer switch is normally provided witheach receiver. Wiring of this switch will depend on theelectrical configuration of your crane. Appendix A showswiring of the switch for a single phase crane with acommon control circuit for all motions. Additional switchpoles can be used for systems with isolated control circuitsfor the motions.The switch should be wired so that the crane's main linecontactor (MLC) is controlled by the radio OPI andOPR relays when in the radio position, and by the pendant2.2WARNING !Verify that the main input power is offbefore attempting to make anyconnections.WARNING !The safety of this system depends on theproper wiring of this switch.

Makesure the cabinet is grounded beforeoperating the crane.controls when the switch is in the pendant position. Itshould also be wired to transfer control between thependant and the radio circuits.2. Output Relay Connections.The relay contacts are rated for 16 Amp, 240 VAC toprovide maximum reliability and life. It is recommendedthat the load applied to the output circuits be limited to 5Amps to acheive best system life. Connection toequipment or contactors with higher voltage or currentratings requires an auxiliary relay.The receiver has been pre-wired for a single phase controlsystem. If you have multiple phase control lines you mustwire the relay commons accordingly.Refer to the configuration sheet supplied with your systemfor the specific relay assignments.3. Power Connections.The receiver is normally provided for 115 VAC, 50/60Hz power. Make sure the receiver is ordered for thecorrect operating voltage of your power system. Connectline and return connections directly to the terminal stripX1 and X2. Observing the polarity of the connections asshown in Appendix A will prevent conflicts with anyother wiring on the crane system.3. Installation Testing.Before putting the system into service, the following testsmust be performed.Apply power to the receiver and verify the power andOPI indicators light.Turn on the transmitter and verify the OPI indicator goesoff. Verify the OPR indicator lights and the Signal indicatorflashes.Verify voltage is present at the receiver output to theMain Line Contactor. Verify no voltage is present at anyof the relay outputs.AVERTISSEMENT !La présence de tension à l’une ou l’autredes sorties indique un raccordementinadéquat du récepteur à la masse.S’assurer que le boîtier est raccordé à lamasse avant de faire fonctionner la grue.
SECTION 3: TROUBLESHOOTING3.1 GENERALThe following procedures are for diagnosing problemswithin the system and isolating them down to the modulelevel. No special test equipment is required.Both the transmitter and receiver have built in test anddiagnostic devices to aid in troubleshooting. In the eventof a system malfunction, the following guide presents alogical approach to pinpointing the cause and quicklyrestoring the equipment to operation.Due to the rough treatment it may be subjected to, mostproblems are likely to occur in the transmitter. Thetransmitter should be thoroughly diagnosed beforeproceeding to the receiver.3.2 TRANSMITTER TESTINGWARNING !When testing the transmitter, the receivermay become active resulting in systemoperation. Always assume the system isworking and will respond when testing atransmitter.AVERTISSEMENT !Lors des essais du transmetteur, le récepteurpeut s’activer et entraîner la mise en marchedu système. Prendre en considération quele système fonctionnera et répondra toujoursaux commandes lors des essais dutransmetteur.When the transmitter is OFF the LED should be off.Press and release the ON/ALARM button. The LEDshould flash at a low rate. Press a command switch.The LED should flash at a high rate.If the batteries are getting low, the LED will flash on-off.(1/2 second on and 1/2 second off) while the transmitteris ON. The batteries should be changed at the nextconvenient opportunity.POWERADDRESSSIGNALK1K2K3K4K5K6K7K8Figure 3.1 21R10 Receiver Diagnostics IndicatorsIf the LED remains on continuously there is either aswitch activated at the time the transmitter is turned on,or a general failure that requires factory service. If theLED remains lit continuously on power-up, insure thatno other switches are pressed while attempting to turnthe transmitter on.If the test LED does not light at all, replace the batteries.If this does not fix the problem, the transmitter isinoperable and must be repaired.3.3 RECEIVER TESTINGReceiver LEDs. Refer to Section 6 for the locations ofthe decoder diagnostic LEDs inside the receiver cabinet.On 21R10 and 21R14 receivers, the Power, Addressand Signal LEDs are on the RF/Processor board whichis mounted below the Relay board.On 21R22 receivers the Power and Signal LEDs areon the RF/Processor board which is mounted on top ofthe Relay board.POWER - Indicates the +12 VDC, receiver operatingvoltage is present.ADDRESS - This will flash each time a signal receivedmatches the decoders address. This is not used forthe 21R22 receiver.K9K10K11 (OPI)K12 (OPR)A1A2A3A43.1
SIGNAL - This will flash each time a signal is beingreceived. For the 21R22 receiver, this also indicatesa proper address was received.K1 through Kxx - indicates the corresponding relaysare energized.A1 through A4 (R14) or SCAN 1 through SCAN 3(R22) - These LEDs cycle while the receiver isscanning. When on steady, it indicates whichfrequency the receiver is locked on to.OPI and OPR - When the receiver is either in standbyor has detected a problem which requires the systemto be shut down, OPR will be off and OPI will beon. This releases the main contactor on the craneand prevents any operation of the crane.During normal operation, with the transmitter turnedon, OPR will be on and OPI will be off. The maincontactor on the crane will be energized and thedecoder will be enabled to control the cranefunctions.Receiver Troubleshooting.1. Check the POWER on indicator. If it's not lit, makesure the power switch on the right hand side of thereceiver cabinet is in the on position.Check the fuse on the relay board next to TB3(TB4 on the 21R22) and replace if necessary.Check for A.C. input power between terminals X1and X2 of the terminal strip. If AC power is presentand the POWER on LED is not on replace therelay board.2. Make sure the transmitter is off. Turn the receiverpower switch off then on. Check that the OPI ison. If no indicators come on after 1 second, themicroprocessor circuits are possibly defective.Replace the RF/Decoder board.3. Turn the transmitter on. If the SIGNAL LED remainsoff, test the transmitter.Verify the identity code is the same for the transmitterand receiver.Replace the RF/Decoder board.4. Turn the transmitter on. If the SIGNAL LED lightsbut the ADDRESS LED does not, there is adifference between the transmitter and receiveraddress code. Change the identity code on thetransmitter or receiver so that they are the same.Refer to section 5.2 for setting the identity code.5. If only some of the functions are operating, checkto see if the relay LED's come on for the inoperativefunctions.Check the output voltage of the respective relaysand the crane circuits.Check the condition of the transmitter switches.If the unit is new, check the configuration sheet toverify the function has been programmed.6. If you experience intermittent operation, check allconnections and make sure that the terminal stripsSECTION 3: TROUBLESHOOTING3.2WARNING !Throughout the troubleshooting procedure,work is performed within the receiver cabinetwhile the system is powered. Certain pointsin the cabinet contain dangerous voltages.Use extreme caution when working insidethe cabinet with power on.AVERTISSEMENT !Tout au long des procédures de dépannage,un travail est effectué dans le boîtier puisquele système est sous tension. Certainsendroits du boîtier contiennent des tensionsdangereuses. Être extrêmement vigilant lorsde travaux à l’intérieur du boîtier lorsque lesystème est sous tension.
are firmly snapped in place and that the RF/Decoderboard is firmly attached to the back of the Relayboard.Check antenna connections.7. If Operating Range is short, Check all antennaconnections and the transmitter operation.On new installations, verify the receiver antenna isplaced properly. If necessary, use an antennamounting kit to relocate the antenna to a morefavorable location.Replace the RF/Decoder board.8. If any of the Contact Sense (Relay Sense) indicatorsare lit (21R22 only), a difference between theintended output command and the relay (or contactorstate occurred. This is usually caused by a failedrelay contact.The indicator will remain illuminated even after thetransmitter is turned off. The next time the transmitteris turned on, or if the receiver power is cycles, theindicator will turn off unless the problem remains.If external inputs are used for contact sensing,examine and repair if appropriate the wiring betweenthe back conacts of the directional contactor andthe receiver input. Also examine the contactor for aproblem.SECTION 3: TROUBLESHOOTING3.3
SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE4.1 PERIODIC MAINTENANCEOnce a year inspect the transmitter for damage to thekeypad and case.Once a month all electrical and antenna connectionsshould be inspected. Make sure all antenna and electricalconnections are clean and tight and that all terminal stripsare firmly in place.4.2 TRANSMITTER & RECEIVER REPAIRSRefer to section 5: TRANSMITTER or Section 6:RECEIVER for details on transmitter and receiver repairs.4.3 PROGRAMMINGEach transmitter and receiver can be programmed forany operating frequency, address code and specificoperating parameters required by the particular system.Each system is fully programmed and tested beforeshipment from the factory and should requirereprogramming only in the case of spares.Programming Hardware RequirementsThe RAC17, a computer based programming system, isavailable that consists of an RS-232 interface box and acomputer program for PC compatible computers.

as well as programming of application information. Thisis recommended for larger installations that must maintainsystems with a variety of configurations.A stand alone programmer, RAC16, is available for mostapplications. It provides a convenient method for changingthe identity code and making basic application changesto the transmitters and receivers.Programming LevelsMost programming changes involve only the assignmentof the identity code. The identity code in a six digitalphanumeric number that contains the operatingfrequency and address of the unit. This level ofprogramming is described in this manual.Higher levels of programming, those that allow changingof time constants, relay assignments and decoding logicare covered in a separate manual.Identity CodeThe unit identity code consists of a six digit alphanumericnumber such as 2E005B. The range of numbers is 0through 9 and A through F.The first two numbers designate one of the 81 frequenciesthat are used for these systems. In a plant with manyunits located in a close area, each system can be assigneda different frequency. For reference, table 4.1 lists thefrequency for each code.The last four numbers designate one of the 65,536 possibleaddress codes. Again, the range of numbers is 0 through9 and A through F.Each system in a plant must have a separate identitycode. Two systems with the same identity code will beable to "talk" to each other. All systems are shippedfrom the factory with a unique identity code. It is highlyrecommended that the receiver identity code not bechanged, rather a transmitter identity code be made tomatch that of a receiver.ProgrammingThe transmitter and receiver are programmed using thesame method.Transmitters have a four position connector with one pinremoved for keying. Receivers may have a four positionor a six position connector with one pin removed forkeying. The programmer has a six position connectorwith one position blanked.Locate the programming connector on the transmitterboard or the RF/Decoder board in the receiver andconnect the plug from the programmer. Note that theplug is polarized and must be connected with the plugaligned with the position of the blank pin.6 pos connector 4 pos connectorIf programming a transmitter, make sure the batteries areinstalled. If programming a receiver, make sure power isapplied to the RF/Decoder board (power LED is ON).Note that an RF/Decoder board with the six positionprogramming connector can be powered from theprogramming box and does not need external power.If the programmer is not already on, turn the programmerpower on by pressing the ON button. The display willshow what the programmer is connected to for 5 secondsand then will read and display the ID CODE of the unit.SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE4.2ID CODE 28008CTX CONNECTED
