2 1. INTRODUCTION The Twister 2X is a highly sophisticated industrial radio remote control system. The versatile features of Twister 2X permit its usage in a wide range of industrial applications. The system can be used to control all types of industrial cranes, tower cranes, building construction equipment, automatic control systems, mining equipment, and many others. The Twister 2X incorporates numerous advanced safety features and software programming that will ensure maximum security and safety in the workplace. The major features of Twister 2X industrial radio remote control system are as follow: * The system is equipped with highly evolved software that has redundant error checking and correcting capabilities to ensure 100% error-free transmission, decoding, and control of all output relays. This highly evolved software includes CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check) and Hamming Codes (Error Recovery) programming. * The encoding system utilizes advanced microprocessor control for 100% error-free data transmission. The availability of 65,536 sets of unique security ID codes + 20 distinct RF channels will ensure that only commands from a matching control transmitter can be carried out without any interference from other radio systems. * The decoding system utilizes dual-microprocessor control, which will ensure 100% error-free calculating, bit checking and correcting of all incoming data. * The system also utilizes an additional central microprocessor for data comparison and crosschecking between the two decoding microprocessors. When faults are detected via this central microprocessor, for maximum safety, the entire system will be shutdown immediately to avoid possibility of any accidents occurring. * The system utilizes PLL synthesized RF transmission. It allows the user to select from 20 sets of frequency channels best suited for the environment. The frequency channel is selected via simple dip-switch settings inside the transmitter unit. The frequency channel for the receiver is selected via simple button setting on the receiver LCD control panel. The receiver also has the ability to auto-scan from these 20 sets of frequency channels. The receiver will search and locked on to the intended matching control transmitter. * For added safety the receiver also utilizes dual Safety Relay for the receiver MAIN relay circuit. If the receiver MAIN relay is defective (example: fails to open or close during operation or not responding to a “Stop” command) a fault will be detected and the system will be shut down immediately to avoid possibility of any accidents occurring. * The Twister 2X is equipped with numerous self-diagnosing functions, which include transmitter low-voltage detection/warning, faulty pushbutton/joystick detection, faulty safety MAIN relays detection, faulty relay boards detection, faulty EEPROM detection, faulty RX module detection, incorrect ID code detection, and receiver MAIN auto-deactivation when transmitter low-voltage is detected, when encountering strong radio interference, and when the transmitter/operator is out of receiving range.
3 2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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.

Make sure both joysticks are in their neutral (0-speed) position when transmitter power is turned “on”. If the transmitter is turned “on” with the joystick in a non-neutral position, the transmitter will be temporarily disabled to avoid any unexpected crane movement at system startup. If this situation occurs, just turn the transmitter power key “off” and then back “on” again with joystick in neutral position. 4. Make sure that the red emergency stop button (EMS) is elevated before the transmitter power is turned on. 5. To activate the receiver MAIN relay, press and hold the “START” pushbutton for up to 1.0 second. The START pushbutton is located on the right side of the belly box, above the transmitter power key switch. 6. After receiver MAIN relay activation (relay closed), if the operator did not give any command by pressing any pushbuttons or moving the joysticks to a non-neutral position, after 5 minutes of inactivity, the transmitter unit will go into “sleep mode” with receiver MAIN relay temporarily deactivated (relay opened). To resume operation after 5 minutes of inactivity, just press and hold the “START” pushbutton again to reactivate the system. 7. After 1 hour of inactivity, the transmitter power will be temporarily deactivated to save power. 8. If the frequency channel of the transmitter unit is altered via simple dip-switch setting inside the transmitter (refer to page 13), you must then also change the frequency RF channel in the receiver (refer to page 15~16). Since the receiver is equipped with frequency channel auto-scanning feature, after changing the frequency channel in the transmitter, you must then press and hold the START pushbutton for up to 20 seconds after turning “on” the transmitter power in order for the auto-scanning receiver to identify the newly selected channel.
24 9.2 Dual Hoist/Trolley Operation For system with dual hoist/trolley operation, use the 3-stage mechanical selector switch located between the two joysticks (refer to diagram below) to select which hoist and/or trolley to operate. At position “I”, the main hoist and/or trolley are activated. At position “II”, the auxiliary hoist and/or trolley are activated. At position “I+II”, both main and auxiliary hoists and/or trolleys are activated with simultaneous travel movement. During system wiring, make sure to connect the Select-I output to the main hoist and/or trolley and Select-II output to auxiliary hoist and/or trolley. When the selector switch is at position “I”, Select-I contact relay will close. At position “II”, Select-II contact relay will close. At position “I+II”, both Select-I and Select-II contact relay will close. For system wiring, please refer to the system wiring schematic located on the last page of this manual or on the inner side of the receiver cover.

Transmitter Status LED Display Transmitter Battery Power LED Display POWER DISPLAY REASON Constant Green Battery level normal Slow Blinking Red Low battery power (1st warning) Fast Blinking Red Low battery power (2nd warning) Transmitter unit will stop transmitting at anytime Constant Red Low battery power (3rd warning) Transmitter power and receiver MAIN relay deactivated Transmitter Status LED Display STATUS DISPLAY REASON No Light Displayed Transmitter in sleep mode with receiver MAIN relay deactivatedSlow Blinks (Green) Transmitter on standby Fast Blinks (Green) Transmitter active Constant Red Light Jammed or defective pushbutton, switch or joystick contacts Fast Blinks (Red) The contact point currently in use is operative (refer to note A) 3 Fast Blinks (Red) PLL TX module defective 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.
26 10.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 desired (strongly recommended for 600mA NiCd battery pack), press the “DISCHARGE” button. 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. 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 (600mA NiCd battery pack), it is recommended that the battery pack be fully discharged prior to every re-charging.
