Safety Instructions
Read through these operating instructions carefully before working with the radio system. This applies in
particular to the installation, commissioning and maintenance of the radio system.
The operating instructions are a constituent part of the radio control system and must always be kept
close at hand for the responsible personnel.
The term ‘machine’ is used in the operating instructions for the different possible uses of the radio
system.
Intended Use
The radio system serves to control machines and for data transfer. Observe the job safety and
accident prevention regulations applicable to each application.
The intended use also includes reading the operating instructions and adhering to all safety
information contained therein.
The radio system must not be used in areas where there is a risk of explosion, nor for the control of
machines used to convey persons, unless it is explicitly approved by the manufacturer for these
uses.
Modifications to the radio system may only be carried out by specialist personnel who have been
trained and authorized by HBC-radiomatic. All modifications must be documented at the factory in
the radio control master file.
The radio control system safety devices must not be modified, removed or bypassed. In particular,
modifications to any part of the radio system's complete emergency-stop system are impermissible.
Safety Instructions for Installation and Operation
The electrical connection per the accompanying output wiring diagram must be established by a
qualified electrician exclusively.
The receiver may only be opened by trained personnel. Components inside the receiver can be
energized at life-threatening voltages. The supply voltage for the machine must be deactivated
before the receiver is opened.
Please also note with radio systems, that the presence of persons in the danger zone - in particular
beneath the load (cranes!) - is prohibited in every instance.
Select a safe location for radio control, from which you have a good and complete view of the
working movements of the machine, the load movements and the surrounding working conditions.
It is not permissible to put a radio transmitter unattended to one side whilst activated. Always switch
the radio transmitter off when it is not required. This applies in particular if you change location,
when working without radio control, during breaks and at the end of work. Always safeguard the
radio transmitter against use by unauthorized persons, for example by locking it away.
In the event of an emergency and with all faults, switch the radio transmitter off immediately by
pressing the STOP switch.
Only operate the radio system when it is in perfect working order. Faults and defects that could
influence safety must be rectified before the system is put back into operation, by specialists who
have been trained and authorized by HBC-radiomatic.
Note that the operational directions of the operating elements may appear inverted depending on
location and viewing angle to the machine. This applies in particular to rotary cranes, if your location
changes from inside to outside the radius of the crane. The operator must make himself familiar with
the directional markings on the machine before the start of work.
Repairs may only be carried out by specialist personnel who have been trained and authorized by
HBC-radiomatic. Use original replacement parts and accessories (e.g. rechargeable batteries)
exclusively; otherwise it is possible that the equipment safety can no longer be guaranteed and our
extended warranty will be voided.
Remain vigilant when working with the radio system and familiarize yourself with its functions. This
applies in particular if you are working with it for the first time or if you work with it only occasionally.
Check each time before starting work the function of the STOP switch.
When you press the STOP switch with the transmitter on, the status LED of the transmitter has to go
out. If the status LED does not go out then you have to disable the radio control system immediately.
Remove the battery and the radiomatic® iLOG from the transmitter and inform a service technician.

RF Exposure Statement
Radiofrequency radiation exposure information
The radiated output power of the device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, the device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during
normal operation is minimized.
Operation
The transmitter is equipped with an electronic radiomatic® iLOG key. radiomatic® iLOG contains all the
data required for operating the transmitter. Operation is not possible without radiomatic® iLOG!
Depending on the version the radiomatic® iLOG can also be used for operation of replacement
transmitters of identical construction.
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 and allow the control elements to return to their
zero position. After that the machine can react again to control commands. This feature hinders any
uncontrolled or unwanted machine movement, should the radio link be interrupted.
Note:
If the machine is equipped with a main contactor you must actuate the start button before the
machine can react again to control commands.
Activating the Transmitter
With start sequence
Insert a charged battery into the battery compartment.
The following steps need to be carried out within 4 seconds:
1. Pull the STOP switch.
2. Shortly actuate the start button and then release. The transmitter will
switch off if the button is pressed for longer than half a second!
3. Actuate the start button again until the status LED flashes green. Then
release the button.
The transmitter is now ready for operation.
Note:
The transmitter switches off when
the start button is actuated for longer than half a second (see
above, point 2).
switching on takes over 4 seconds.
another button is pressed when switching on.
You must then press the STOP switch and repeat steps 1 to 3.

is about to move.
Deactivating the Transmitter
Press the STOP switch.
Note:
Replace the battery when the status LED in the transmitter flashes red, an acoustic signal sounds
and the transmitter vibrates (option). Otherwise, the transmitter will switch off in a few minutes.
Recharge the empty battery in the respective charger.
Automatic Switch-OFF (APO Function)
For safety reasons we have equipped the transmitter with an automatic switch-OFF (APO function).
The transmitter is automatically put out of circuit after approx. 15 minutes of non-use.
The automatic switch-OFF also saves battery power.
After an automatic switch-OFF you must reactivate the transmitter as described in chapter Operation.
Caution:
The automatic switch-OFF does not relieve the operator of his responsibility to turn off the
transmitter with the STOP switch when not in use.
Battery and Battery Charger
NiMH Battery
The battery capacity depends on the age of the battery and the ambient temperature. Older batteries
lose their capacity over time. The battery capacity diminishes more quickly at temperatures below 0 °C
(32 °F) and above 40 °C (104 °F).
Note:
Charge the battery fully before initial use and/or after storing for longer than 6 months. When
doing so note that the battery will only reach its full capacity after 3 - 5 charge cycles
(complete charging and discharging)
Use only the associated HBC charger to charge the battery
Charge the battery at an ambient temperature of 0 – 40 °C (32 – 104 °F).
Recharge the battery only when the status LED on the transmitter flashes red, the acoustic
signal sounds and the transmitter vibrates (option).
Charge the battery fully before storing it for a prolonged period. Otherwise total discharge may
occur.
Always store rechargeable batteries at room temperature.
Protect the battery from short circuits and always store it in the protective cover provided.
When handled properly the battery can exceed 500 charging cycles

Options
The availability of the following functions depends on the design and configuration of your radio control
system.
Safety Features
radiomatic® shock-off / roll-detect / zero-g / inclination switch
The safety features enable a quick shut-down of the radio control in specific emergency situations.
Therefore, these intelligent functions prevent a dangerous unintended command from being given to the
crane or machine.
radiomatic® shock-off can trigger a quick automatic shut-down of the radio control in
case of an impact to the transmitter – e. g. if the transmitter is being hit by a massive
object thereby getting out of control.
radiomatic® roll-detect can automatically detect rolling of the transmitter and, in this
case, initiate a quick shut-down of the radio control.
radiomatic® zero-g can automatically detect if the transmitter is dropped or being
thrown to another user. In such cases, zero-g can trigger a quick automatic shut-down
of the transmitter.
inclination switch can deactivate the transmitter, if it exceeds an inclination angle of
approx. 130° – 170° for a certain time and/or if it is placed front side down.
When the transmitter was shut down with radiomatic® shock-off/roll-detect/zero-g or
inclination switch, the start button has to be activated until the status LED flashes
green. Then the transmitter is ready to operate again.
The safety features do not relieve the operator of his responsibility to turn off
the transmitter with the STOP switch when not in use.
radiomatic® infrakey
The radio system can only be activated via an infrared
link between the transmitter and the receiver. This
increases the safety of operation, i.e. the machine can
not become inadvertently enabled.
radiomatic® infrakey operates either with an infrared
module in the receiver housing (radiomatic® infrakey
internal) or with the offset infrared antenna focus I
(radiomatic® infrakey external).
To activate radiomatic® infrakey, actuate the start button
on the transmitter.
Function of radiomatic® infrakey with focus I
Notes:
The range of the infrared beam is max. 20 m (66 ft).
The angle of radiation is 30°.
The front panel of the receiver must be visible (only radiomatic® infrakey internal).
Joystick with Deadman Function
In order that it is possible to issue control commands the button integrated into the joystick must be
pressed before the joystick is moved. The function then reverts to self-locking and remains effective until
the joystick is back in the zero position. This enables the avoidance of potential risks through the
unintentional actuation of the joystick.
Vibration Alarm
With the vibration alarm, the operator can be informed of an impending need to change the battery
and/or potential dangers on the machine through the vibration of the transmitter. This information can be
for example pre-warnings for high wind speeds or threatening excess crane loads.
Front Panel Lighting
With the front panel lighting potential dangers resulting from incorrect operation, based on poor visibility,
can be prevented. The operator simply switches on multiple LEDs, which are integrated into the rollover
bar, with a switch or button on the transmitter.
Shut-off on Implausible Control Commands
The automatic shut-off will activate after a sequence of multiple questionable movement commands. If,
for example, one or more joysticks on the transmitter are actuated successively in different directions in
an irregular manner, the system switches off automatically.
This function protects the operator and the whole work environment from potential dangers as well as
the machine from wear resulting from rapid and erratic movements.
After an automatic switch-off you must reactivate the transmitter as described in chapter Operation.
Micro Drive
With the micro drive function the speed of the machine is limited to a preselected level. Even at full
movement of the joystick/linear lever, the operator can not exceed this speed limit. In this manner
demanding drive maneuvers can be managed and inexperienced users can be protected from potential
dangers that can result from “speeding”.
Orthogonal Drive (Electronic Cross Gate)
With the orthogonal drive function dangerous situations, caused by unintentional diagonal movements
are being prevented. The operator will have to return the joystick back to zero position before another
directional command can be activated. This function is suitable for example for situations where the
operator has to make precision commands in confined areas. Diagonal movements are not possible.
User identification
The "user identification" function with the HBC Smart Card enables a simple personalization of the radio
system as well as the storage of all user profiles in the radio system. Safety relevant functions can be
released to authorized personnel only and unauthorized users can be protected of potentially dangerous
situations. In addition the radio system stores user-related all operating processes as well as the
respective on time of the radio system. This data can be read from the radio system and shows how long
the machine was in use and how the individual operators used the various functions of the radio system.
Frequency Management
Fixed Frequency
If the identification plate in the battery compartment of the transmitter shows a frequency value (e.g.
433,500 MHz), the transmitter operates with a fixed frequency.
Please contact you service department if the frequency has to be changed because the frequency
channel is already assigned to another operator.
Frequency Selection via Scanner
Transmitter and receiver are equipped with four frequencies (refer to wiring diagrams).
If the frequency channel is occupied, you can switch to another frequency channel by using the rotary
switch on the transmitter. The scanner in the receiver automatically resets the transmitter to the new
frequency selected within one second.
Manual Frequency Switching
If the identification plate in the battery compartment of the transmitter shows the label man, the
transmitter features manual frequency switching.
This function can be used to change the frequency channel during radio operation.
Actuate the start button into the first step until an acoustic signal sounds. Then release the button.
Please contact your service department if all available frequencies are occupied.
radiomatic® AFS
If the identification plate in the battery compartment of the transmitter shows the label AFS, the
transmitter is equipped with radiomatic® AFS (Automatic Frequency Selection).
When activating the transmitter radiomatic® AFS will check if the present frequency channel is free. If the
frequency channel is occupied, the system automatically finds and saves a free frequency channel.
If the frequency channel currently in use is occupied by another radio control system, you must switch
the transmitter off and on again in order to allow radiomatic® AFS to switch to a free frequency channel.
The radiomatic® AFS option also includes the manual frequency switching function.
Note:
If radiomatic® AFS is to perform optimally, all the other radio systems in the immediate working
environment (e.g. the factory hall or building site) should be switched on before starting to use the
radio system for the first time. This allows radiomatic® AFS to detect automatically which radio
channels are already being used in the working area, and thereby to choose a suitable free
channel for its own use.
In addition, when switching the radio system on for the first time, the user should make sure that
his distance from the radio receiver and from the machine is a realistic reflection of the working
situation.
radiomatic® AFM
If the identification plate in the battery compartment of the transmitter shows the label AFM the
transmitter is equipped with radiomatic® AFM (Automatic Frequency Management).
radiomatic® AFM detects available frequency channels constantly. If the frequency channel currently in
use is occupied by another radio control system, radiomatic® AFM switches automatically to a free
frequency channel.
Catch-Release
Via the Catch-Release option two or more transmitters can control a
machine alternately.
When the receiver is switched on, the machine can initially be
controlled via any associated transmitter. Once the receiver was taken
over by one transmitter, the other transmitters no longer have access.
Take over machine
1.Switch the transmitter on.
2.Enter the "Catch" command on the transmitter and actuate the
start button.
The access rights for the machine remain with that transmitter until the
"Release" command is issued by that transmitter.
Release machine
1.Enter the "Release" command on the transmitter.
2.Switch the transmitter off.
The access rights for the machine are cancelled. Machine control can be taken over by another
transmitter.
Operating Example:
Transmitter 1 has taken over the machine. Transmitter 2 is to be given control.
1.Enter the "Release" command on transmitter 1.
2.Switch transmitter 1 off.
3.Switch transmitter 2 on.
4.Enter the "Catch" command on transmitter 2 and actuate the start button.
Transmitter 2 now has sole access to all machine functions.
Notes:
If a receiver has already been adopted by a transmitter can be displayed via a lamp on the
machine.
If the operating voltage of the receiver fails, the receiver returns to the starting condition in
which it can be adopted by any transmitter. If necessary, the receiver must be adopted anew.
If the transmitter is deactivated without the command "Release" having been issued, the other
transmitters have no access to the receiver. The starting condition described above can only
be resumed by deactivating the operating voltage at the receiver.
Tandem Operation
Tandem Operation T1
The radio system consists of 1 transmitter and 2 receivers for 2
machines. The transmitter can control the machines individually or in
parallel

The spare key must be stored at a superior, authoritative position and only be handed out in
clarified cases.
Tandem Operation TM/TS
The radio system consists of 2 transmitters and 2 receivers for 2 machines. One transmitter is a master
transmitter and can control the machines individually or in parallel. The other transmitter is a slave
transmitter and can only control machine B.
In order to be able to switch to machine B or A+B at the master transmitter, the key must be removed
from the slave transmitter and inserted in the master transmitter.
The machines are selected at the transmitter via a rotary switch:
A only machine A
A+B machine A + machine B
B only machine B
Operating Example: Control of machine A + B via master transmitter.
1.Switch master and slave transmitter off and remove the key from slave transmitter.
2.Insert the key from slave transmitter in master transmitter.

The radio system now operates in tandem mode.
Warning:
For safety reasons, it is imperatively required that only one key is available for each transmitter.
The spare key must be stored at a superior, authoritative position and only be handed out in
clarified cases.
Catch-Release-Tandem Operation
With the Catch-Release-Tandem Operation two or more transmitters can control several machines
alternately.
Each machine is equipped with a receiver that can receiver and monitor all transmitter frequencies.
After activating the receivers all transmitters have equal access to the radio control system.
Take over machine
1.Switch the transmitter on.
2.Turn rotary switch on the transmitter to the respective position.
3.Enter the "Catch" command on the transmitter and actuate the start button.
The transmitter with control over the machine(s) retains the access to the receiver until the operator has
issued the "Release" command.
Release machine
1.Enter the "Release" command on the transmitter.
2.Switch the transmitter off.
The access rights for the machine(s) are cancelled. Machine control can be taken over by another
transmitter.
Operating Example:
Transmitter 1 has taken over machine A. Transmitter 2 is to be given control over machine A+B.
1.Enter the "Release" command on transmitter 1.
2.Switch transmitter 1 off.
3.Switch transmitter 2 on.
4.Turn rotary switch on transmitter 2 to A+B.
5.Enter the "Catch" command on transmitter 2 and actuate the start button.
Transmitter 2 now has sole access to all machine functions.
Notes:
If a receiver has already been adopted by a transmitter can be displayed via a lamp on the
machine.
If the operating voltage of the receiver fails, the receiver returns to the starting condition in
which it can be adopted by any transmitter. If necessary, the receiver must be adopted anew.
If the transmitter is deactivated without the command "Release" having been issued, the other
transmitters have no access to the receiver. The starting condition described above can only
be resumed by deactivating the operating voltage at the receiver.
Cable Control
With a cable you can generate a direct data connection
between the transmitter and receiver. The radio
transmission is disabled. At the same time, the power
supply of the transmitter is provided through the cable, as
well.
Connecting the cable
1.Switch the transmitter off.
2.Remove the screw lock on the transmitter and
receiver.
3.Connect the transmitter and the receiver with the
cable. Ensure that the connector is locked.
4.Switch the transmitter on.
Notes:
If you connect the cable while working with the system, the transmitter will switch off
automatically. Actuate the start button to switch to cable operation.
When the system is in cable mode the transmitter will receive the supply voltage from the
receiver, i.e. the transmitter can be used without the battery.
If you disconnect the cable from the transmitter and receiver, the system will switch off
automatically. Actuate the start button to switch back to radio operation.
radiomatic® masterkey
This option offers the possibility for the operator to easily exchange a defective transmitter for a spare
transmitter. radiomatic® masterkey (key) holds all the pertaining system information such as frequency
and address code. When the radiomatic® masterkey is inserted into the spare transmitter all necessary
information is transmitted.
Data transfer only works with transmitters that are equipped with this option. Otherwise the radiomatic®
masterkey is only used for switching the transmitter on or off.
If a transmitter without radiomatic® masterkey preparation is operated with a radiomatic® masterkey
(mechanically the key has the same function), it will therefore continue to function with "its" internally
programmed receiver (see type plate).
Address Changeover via Coding Plug
The coding plug activates a preselected frequency and address coding in the transmitter which
corresponds with the data of the respective receiver.
If the coding plug is inserted in a spare transmitter, it will receive the same data as the original
transmitter. The spare transmitter can therefore now access the receiver
Changing the coding plug:
Turn the union nut to the left
and pull out the coding plug.
Put the coding plug into the socket of
the spare transmitter and lock it by
turning the union nut to the right.
Notes:
Operation is not possible without coding plug.
If the coding plug is removed during operation the transmitter switches off immediately.
The coding plug is labeled with the fabrication number of the respective receiver.
Utilization of Button as Shift Key
The RPM+ and RPM– buttons have a dual function.
If the button is kept depressed and the RPM+ resp. RPM– button is also activated, the Motor Start
resp. Motor Stop command will be output.
Enabling of the Proportional Outputs
The start button must be depressed after the system has been activated and enabled via Si1 (at the
receiver). It is not until this has been done that the function of the compact linear levers at the receiver
will be enabled.
Rotary Switch for Preselected Speed
Using the rotary switch it is possible to choose between four maximum machine speeds, which are set in
accordance with the customer’s requirements.
The symbols for the speed adaptation have the following meanings:
= maximum speed 100 %
= maximum speed, limited to 75 %
= maximum speed, limited to 50 %
= maximum speed, limited to 25 %
Slewing Gear Release
Note:
Whenever the command "slewing gear release" is actuated by means of the radio control, it is
important that the respective check be made.
Due to the above, a clearly visible indicator lamp should be installed on the machine.
Feedback by LED
Using this function, system or machine data can be displayed on the transmitter by
LEDs.
RF-amplifier
If the transmitter is equipped with an RF-amplifier, please refer to the transmitter wiring diagram. There
you can also find the directions on how to activate the RF-amplifier.
Pre-selection of Trolley or Hoist
The operator is able to select the trolley or hoist that he wishes to control. It is also possible to
simultaneously control both trolleys/hoists, for example in order to transport particularly long or wide
loads.
Transmitter Key up
With the transmitter key up function, radio commands are only transmitted at the touch of a key and the
transmitter will automatically be switched off after 7 seconds of non-use. For example, self-monitoring
gates can thus be opened or closed by several operators.
During longer breaks the transmitter must be switched off by pressing the STOP switch.
The "transmitter key up" function also saves battery power.
Caution:
The transmitter key up function does not relieve the operator of his responsibility to turn off the
transmitter with the STOP switch when not in use.

Maintenance
The radio control system is virtually maintenance-free. Please observe the following points:
Check the STOP switch functionality at regular intervals. Dirt deposits on the switch can hinder the
mechanism and impair the function.
Check the rubber bellows or rubber seals of the operating elements at regular intervals for leak-
tightness. Replace immediately if cracks appear since the penetration of dirt and humidity may
damage the function of the operating elements.
Never use a high-pressure cleaner or sharp or pointed objects to clean the transmitter.
Charge and discharge transmitter batteries regularly.
