The micron 5-3 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 14 control commands plus the
integrated safety 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 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 broadcasts in either a 30 cm or 70 cm bandwidth. The transmitter is equipped
with < 5 mW or < 10 mW transmitting power.
Operating the transmitter using a different frequency range or transmitting power
requires the approval of the competent regulative authorities for telecommunication.
High-quality radio technology pursuant to the guidelines laid down by the German
Regulative Authorities for Telecommunications and Postal Services and the Regulations
For The Prevention of Accidents combined with perfected microprocessor technology
guarantees the highest degree of operative safety, service quality and serviceable life.

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 Use the enclosed belt-clip to carry the transmitter. To operate, hold the transmitter
securely in your hand. Use the 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.
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, and
allow the control elements to return to their zero position. Press the 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.

3.1 Battery and Battery Charger
3.1.1 FuB 3A Transmitter Battery
The age and ambient temperature are decisive for the
length of 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 (20 °C or 68 °F).
3.1.2 FLG 105 Battery Charger
Recharging batteries
1. Connect battery charger to mains (refer to nameplate on
battery charger for operating voltage).
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).
