3. SAFETY INSTRUCTION
The Twister 2X system is relatively simple to use. However, it is very important to observe the
proper safety procedures before, during, and after operation. When use properly the Twister 2X
systems will enhance productivity and efficiency in the workplace.
The following instructions should be strictly followed:
1.
Make a daily check of the transmitter casing, joysticks and pushbuttons. Should it appear that
anything could inhibit the proper operation of the transmitter unit, it should be immediately
removed from service.
2.
The transmitter voltage should be checked on a daily basis. If the voltage is low, the battery
pack should be recharged or replaced (refer to page 23 for battery power status LED display).
3.
The emergency stop button (EMS) should be checked at the beginning of each shift to ensure
they are in the proper working order.
4.
In the event of an emergency, activate the emergency stop button immediately by pressing the
red EMS button down. This will immediately disconnect the transmitter power and receiver
MAIN relays. Then turned the power “off” from the main power source of the equipment.
5.
The transmitter power key, which is located on the right side of the transmitter box, should be
turned “off” after each use and should never left the power key in “on” position when the unit is
unattended.
6.
Do not use the same frequency channel and ID code as any other unit in use at the same facility
or within distance of 300 meters.
7.
Ensure the waist belt and the shoulder strap is worn at all time during operation to avoid
accidental damages to the transmitter box.
8.
Never operate a crane or equipment with two (2) transmitter units at the same time with same
frequency channel and ID code.

(9) Output Cables (φ12.5 ~φ19.5 ) and wiring
materials
2. Ensure receiver is not set to the same frequency channel and ID code as any other units in use at
the same facility or within distance of 300 meters.
3. Prior to installation, make sure that the crane system itself is working properly.
4. Use the multi-meter to check the voltage source available and ensure receiver voltage setting is correct for this
voltage.
5. Prior to installation, switch off the main power source to the equipment.

6.3 Step-by-Step Receiver Installation
1. Decide system wiring first for cable arrangement.
If cable gland is used, please stuff those cable
glands which are not used. (All the cable glands are stuffed prior to the shipment.)
2. Select a suitable wiring location:
(1) The location selected should have the antenna visible from all areas where the receiver is fixed.
(2) Select the location which is far from high voltage wiring or equipment, e.g. motor, relay…etc.
(3) The location selected should not be blocked.
Coaxial cable is suggested to be used to move the
location of antenna if needed.
(4) Please refer to Fig. 18 Receiver Mounting Size for the selection of better installing location.
3. Please refer to Fig. 18 Anti-Vibration Spring Location.
Drill 4 fixing holes (11mm).
* Note: The higher the receiver, the better.
4. Tighten 4 screws provided on receiver.
5. Power cable has to be connected to AC position and ground cable has to be connected to GND
position. It is also acceptable to connect ground cable to screw fixing hole on receiver.
6. Ensure all wiring is correct and safely secured and all screws are fastened.

4 Fast Blinks (Red)
EEPROM error
Note A:
When there is a defective or jammed pushbutton, switch or joystick contacts, the transmitter status LED will display a constant
red light without flashes.
To find out which contact is defective or jammed, activate each pushbuttons, switches or joysticks a
step at a time by holding at each position for up to 2 seconds.
If a flashing red light (blinks rapidly) is displayed at a specific
position, it means that the contact point for that particular position is operative. If the lights remained constantly red at a
certain position, then it means that this position’s contact is either jammed or defective. The main purpose of function is to let
the user realize which contact on the transmitter is not working properly and required service immediately.

 BATTERY CHARGING
1. Plug in the power cord and the power indicator will light up.
2. When a battery pack is inserted, the green charging light will blink to indicate charging is taking place at the
current moment.
3. If discharging of battery pack is desire, press the “DISCHARGE” button. (Discharged voltage about 30mA)
At discharging mode, the green blinking light will now turned into a constant red light indicating that the
battery pack is now being discharged.
If you want to cancel the discharge, just press “DISCHARGE” button
again.
4. When discharging is completed, the charger will automatically switch to the charging mode where the green
blinking light will reappear again.
5. The charging time for a 600mA NiCd battery pack is approximately 3 ~ 6 hours.
As for the 1450mA NiMH
battery pack, the charging time is approximately 7 ~ 9 hours.
6. When charging is completed, a constant green light will appear to indicate that the battery pack is fully charged.
(Battery tepid is normal)
7. When the battery pack is at 90% charged state, trickle charging will take over to ensure the longevity of the
battery pack and as well as to ensure the battery pack is 100% charged.
8. When the battery pack’s temperature exceeds 50, the charger will go into protective mode and charging will
be discontinued.
9. To prolong the life of the battery pack, it is recommended that the battery pack be fully discharged prior to
every re-charging.
