Radio System
1Description
The micron 4 transmitter is designed to transmit command instructions for controlling industrial
cranes and hoists as well as operating machines and plants.
Depending on the type and version selected, up to 24 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 micron 4 transmitter, two rechargeable NiCd
batteries, a battery charger and a receiver with antenna. The receiver housing with
integrated antenna is made of ABS plastic.
The micron 4 is a hand-held transmitter. The observance of handling instructions
ensures operator and worker safety as well as preventing transmitter wear.
The transmitter is powered by 2 rechargeable batteries. The batteries and memory
effect-free battery charger are included.
The transmitter has general telecommunications approvals. It is not necessary to have
or to apply for a license to operate the micron 4 transmitter with the respective receiver.
The transmitter must be operated in the 433,100 MHz to 434,750 MHz range or 869 MHz
to 870 MHz bandwidth. The transmitter is equipped with < 10 mW (average) transmitting
power.
Operating the micron 4 using a different frequency range or transmitting power requires
the approval of the competent regulative authorities for telecommunication.
The following radio receivers may be used in conjunction with the micron 4 transmitter:
FSE 716 FSE 722 B FSE 735
Note:
The improper use, operation or deployment of the device renders the manufacturer
guarantee void of any legal substance!

2.2 General Safety Instructions
Radio controls facilitate and increase the operating efficiency of cranes and machines.
Nevertheless, the operator must thoroughly understand and be in a position to properly
use a radio control system !
Ø Read the Operating Instructions Manual carefully and thoroughly before working with
the transmitter for the first time !
Ø 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.
Ø Keep this manual on location and readily available at all times!
Ø Only authorized and properly trained personnel may operate the transmitter.
Ø 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.
Ø Before switching the transmitter on ensure that no-one is or can be endangered by
the initiated operation.
Ø 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 !
Ø Defects must be repaired and sources of interference must be removed
immediately !
Ø A defective transmitter may only be repaired by qualified and competent personnel.
Use only original HBC spare parts. The use of any other spares will render the
technical inspectorate approval invalid as well as substantially impede operative
safety.
Ø Observe all periodical tests and inspections that are required by law or
recommended in the present operating instructions !
Ø When using the micron 4 transmitter always observe the regulations and instructions
stipulated in the authoritative worker safety and accident prevention regulations
(VBG 9)
– The micron 4 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 micron 4 transmitter has been tested and approved in accordance with EMC
guidelines and complies with the authoritative standards for emitted interference
and interference immunity.

2.3 Operator Safety Instructions
Ø Before beginning crane operation, position yourself so that you have a clear and
complete overview of the working radius of the crane or machine.
Ø To operate, hold the transmitter securely in your hand. Use the optional wrist strap.
Follow these instructions to ensure personal safety.
Ø 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.
Ø 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 !
Ø 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.
Ø 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 (so-
called "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 "ON/Horn" 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.

3Operation
1. Before commissioning the transmitter or initial
operation, insert the FuB 3A battery into battery
compartment at the back of the transmitter
(inscription must be visible). The battery supplies
the necessary working voltage (6 V DC).
2. Pull STOP pushbutton (pos. À) to unlock.
3. Turn key switch (pos. Á) to the right (position "1").
4. Switch ON transmitter and crane or machine with
"ON/Horn" (pos. Â) pushbutton. The green LED
(pos.Ã) begins to flash, i.e. the transmitter is
operable.
Important Information :
After switching ON the transmitter and before
operating the crane or machine you must always :
– trigger the acoustic signal by pressing the button
"ON/Horn (pos. Â). This warns all colleagues
that the crane or machine is about to move;
– test the operativeness of the STOP pushbutton.
After switching on the transmitter the instrument
indicates a successful radio link to the receiver when
the red LED "HF/RF/H.F./HF" extinguishes and the
green LED "Si" lights up (refer to control light panel on
receiver). The radio control system is ready for use. The
operator can now issue control commands using the
transmitter control elements.
When the battery is nearly empty, the red LED (pos. Ã)
lights up or an acoustic signal sounds. The drained
battery must be immediately replaced by a fully
charged battery and then inserted into the battery charger for recharging (refer to
chapter "Battery and Battery Charger" for further details).
Note :
The transmitter will automatically switch OFF within a few minutes if the operator fails
to replace the drained battery.
Should the operator – intentionally or unintentionally – switch OFF the transmitter with
the STOP pushbutton, proceed as follows to restart the transmitter :
1. Pull STOP pushbutton (pos. À) to unlock.
2. Switch transmitter ON with the "ON/Horn" pushbutton (pos. Â).
Note :
Always use the key switch (pos. Á) to switch the transmitter ON or OFF. Do not
use the STOP pushbutton !

Radio System
For safety reasons we have equipped the transmitter with an automatic switch-OFF. The
transmitter is automatically put out of circuit after 15 minutes of non-use.
The automatic switch-OFF also saves battery power.
Note:
The automatic switch-OFF does not relieve the operator of his responsibility to turn
OFF the transmitter when not in use !
The micron 4 can be reactivate by means of the "On/Horn“ pushbutton (refer to
illustration on page 8, pos. Â).
Scanner (Frequency Selector)
The transmitter and receiver are equipped with a "Scanner"
(frequency selector) operating mode with 4 radio
frequencies (refer to wiring diagrams).
In the event that a particular channel is being used by
another operator, the transmitter can be programmed to a
different channel by means of the rotary selector switch
located inside the transmitter. The receiver scanner
automatically adjusts the receiver to the selected radio
frequency.
Changing radio control system frequencies :
1. Switch OFF transmitter with "OFF" switch (turn switch
to “0” position).
2. Remove protective cap from the back of the
transmitter.
3. To select a new frequency, use a screwdriver (size 0)
and turn the switch clockwise (one step).
4. Replace protective cap.
5. Switch ON transmitter with "ON/Horn" switch (turn
switch to “1” position).
After turning ON the transmitter (do not forget to unlock
STOP pushbutton), the receiver automatically resets the
system to the new frequency selected in less than a
second.

3.1 Battery and Battery Charger
3.1.1 FuB 3A Transmitter Battery
The age and ambient temperature are decisive for the
length of the battery application. Older batteries lose
capacity over time. Temperatures under zero also have a
negative effect on battery charge.
The length of serviceable battery life depends on how the
battery is treated. When handled properly the FuB 3A can
exceed 500 charging cycles. Do not totally discharge or
short-circuit contacts as this can permanently destroy the battery.
We recommend recharging the battery only when it is empty, i.e. when the red LED
blinks or an acoustic signal sounds. Always store rechargeable batteries at room
temperature.
3.1.2 FLG 105 Battery Charger
Recharging batteries
1. Connect battery charger to mains (refer to nameplate on
battery charger for details).
2. Insert the adapter for the FuB 3A battery in the charging
compartment of the battery charger.
3. Insert battery with the nameplate facing up into the battery
compartment (pos. Á).
Charging indicator (red LED ; pos. ÀÀ )
LED lit : ..................................... battery charging.
LED off or blinking : .................... battery full, i.e. operable.
LED blinks
when inserting battery : ............... battery totally discharged
or defective.
Note :
– A discharged FuB 3A battery recharges in approx. 2 hours.
Electronics in the battery charger ensure that charging does
not exceed 5 hours.
– The quick charging of NiCd batteries should only take place
at temperatures between +10 °C and +40 °C (50 °F and
104 °F).
– Protect battery contacts against short circuits. Never store
batteries in a tool box or trouser pockets. A bunch of keys
is enough to short the battery. Always use the protective
cap included.
– Use the charger at room temperature (20 °C or 68 °F) and
protect it from extreme heat (direct sun).

3.2 Special Operating Modes (Optional)
This chapter describes special operating modes that are not available with all crane
systems.
If your radio control system is not equipped with the features described, you may ignore
the following and continue with the next chapter.
3.2.1 Pitch – Catch
The "Pitch – Catch" operating mode
allows two or more crane operators
equipped with one transmitter each to
independently use the same crane.
The crane is equipped with a radio
receiver that can receive and monitor
transmitter frequencies.
After activating the receiver all
transmitters have equal access to the
control system.
Releasing the crane ("Pitch")
To release the crane :
1. Turn rotary switch (pos. Á) on
transmitter 1 or transmitter 2 to the
"Pitch" position.
2. For safety reasons we recommend switching OFF
transmitter 1 or transmitter 2 (pos. À). This will avoid
operator errors.
The respective transmitter 1 or transmitter 2 now has no
access to the crane control system.
Taking over control of the crane ("Catch")
To take over the control of the crane turn the rotary
switch (pos. Á) on transmitter 1 or transmitter 2 to the
"Catch" position.
The transmitter with control over the crane retains the
access to the receiver (transmitter 1 or transmitter 2) until
the operator has issued the "Pitch" statement.
Example :
Transmitter 2 has control over the crane control system.
Transmitter 1 is to be given control. The operators must
continue as follows :
1. Turn rotary switch (pos. Á) on transmitter 2 to the "Pitch" position.
2. For safety reasons deactivate transmitter 2, i.e. turn the key switch (pos. À) to the
"0 = OFF" position.
3. Activate transmitter 1, i.e. turn the key switch (pos. À) to the "1 = ON" position.
4. Turn the rotary switch (pos. Á) on transmitter 1 to the "Catch" position.
Transmitter 1 now has sole access to all crane functions.
