Radio Control System 2003-03-11 Operating Instructions Radio Transmitter cubix Page 4 / 18 BE-CUBIX_V1.3-FCC.doc.DOC [ Word 2000 ] MB Description The cubix transmitter is designed to transmit command instructions for controlling industrial cranes, hoists and machines. 10 control commands plus the integrated STOP commands are available to the operator. A non-interchangeable system address ensures the functional safety of the radio control system when operating cranes or machines. This feature is particularly important when several cranes or machines are in use, for example in halls and shops. The system address is exclusively allocated to each HBC radio transmitter and its respective receiver. It is not possible to activate crane or machine functions using a radio control system allocated to another crane or machine. The radio control system consists of the cubix transmitter an internal rechargeable NiMh batteries, a battery charging-power-supply and a receiver. The transmitter housing with integrated antenna is made of impact resistant plastic. The transmitter is powered by rechargeable batteries, charged with a memory effect-free technology. State of the art radio technology complying with the latest guidelines of the regulations on labor safety and the use of highly developed microprocessor technology guarantees optimal operating safety, availability and long life time. The transmitter has general telecommunications approvals. It is not necessary to have or to apply for a license to operate the transmitter with the respective receiver. The transmitter must be operated in USA in the 902 MHz to 918 MHz range or 910 MHz to 928 MHz bandwidth. For Europe we offer the 869 bandwidth. Operating the radio transmitter using a different frequency range or transmitting power requires the approval of the competent regulative authorities for telecommunication. Note : The improper use, operation or deployment of the device renders the manufacturer guarantee void of any legal substance !

Nevertheless, the operator must thoroughly understand and be in a position to properly use a radio control system ! Read the operating instructions manual carefully and thoroughly before working with the transmitter for the first time ! The operator undertakes to strictly adhere to the instructions and proceedings described in this manual, as well as to follow the general rules and regulations for worker safety and accident prevention. Ignoring any such instructions or regulations could pose a fatal threat to the operator or others. Keep this manual on location and readily available at all times ! Only authorized and properly trained personnel may operate the transmitter. Anyone who is under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that has a detrimental effect on a person's reactions may at no time commission, operate, maintain or repair the transmitter. Before switching on the transmitter ensure that no-one is or can be endangered by the initiated operation. With the first signs of any malfunction related to the operative safety and reliability of the device the operator must immediately shut down or not activate the transmitter. For the purpose of the present manual "shut down" implies : – switching OFF the transmitter, – storing the transmitter in a safe place and ensuring no unauthorized access, – de-energizing the receiver, – unplugging the connection cable on the receiver ! Defects must be repaired and sources of interference must be removed immediately ! A defective transmitter may only be repaired by qualified and competent personnel. Use only original HBC-radiomatic spare parts. The use of any other spares will render the technical inspectorate approval invalid as well as substantially impede operative safety. Observe all periodical tests and inspections that are required by law or recommended in the present operating instructions ! When using the cubix transmitter always observe the regulations and instructions stipulated in the authoritative worker safety and accident prevention regulations (VBG 9) – The cubix transmitter has been manufactured in accordance with the regulations and guidelines stipulated in the German Trade Association's "Safety and Accident Prevention Regulations for Operating Cranes by Radio Controls" (VBG 9; ZH 1/547) and pr EN 12077-1. – The cubix transmitter has been tested and approved in accordance with EMC guidelines and complies with the authoritative standards for emitted interference and interference immunity.

Operating Instructions Radio Transmitter cubix BE-CUBIX_V1.3-FCC.doc.DOC [ Word 2000 ] MB 2.3 Page 7 / 18 Operator Safety Instructions Before beginning crane operation, position yourself so that you have a clear and complete overview of the working radius of the crane or machine. To operate, hold the transmitter securely in your hand. Use the optional belt-clip. Follow these instructions to ensure personal safety. Depending on your angle or position to the crane or machine, the transmitter control commands “trolley left” and “trolley right” appear to interchange ! It is essential that you take your bearings to the crane or machine into due consideration before operating equipment. In case of an emergency or any disturbances within the working range of the crane or machine, switch the transmitter off immediately by pressing the STOP pushbutton. Should the transmitter show signs of technical failure or breakdown, disconnect the radio control system immediately ! Switch the transmitter OFF during breaks and after finishing work to avoid any misoperation of crane or machine by unintended activation of the operator controls. – These precautions are particularly important whenever changing your position or climbing over an obstacle. Never leave an activated transmitter unattended. The operator undertakes to follow and comply with the authoritative regulations for worker safety and accident prevention (e.g. VBG 9). Note : – In the event of an interruption of the radio link during a working cycle – what can occasionally happen – both transmitter and receiver automatically shut down (socalled "compulsory switch-off"). To reactivate the system release all operator controls, such as pushbuttons or momentary contacts, and allow the control elements to return to their zero position. Press the "Start" pushbutton. The system must be reactivated before the crane or machine can react to control commands! This feature hinders any uncontrolled or unwanted crane or machine movement, should the radio link be interrupted. – When operating a crane by means of a radio control system for the first time, you may miss the physical contact to the crane that you were used to in the operating stand. As you are no longer in the crane and can no longer sense the starting of the crane movements as distinctly, crane reactions will appear sluggish or dull.
