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 and the display of the transmitter have to go out. If the status LED and the display don’t 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.

Nevertheless, the device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. IC notes RSS-GEN – User Manual Statements (English/French) Licence exempt This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. this device may not cause interference, and 2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: 1. l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et 2. l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
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. When activating the transmitter and if the radio connection is interrupted (e. g. if the connection is lost or the transmission range is exceeded), the transmitter reacts with the so-called enforced zero-position. Release all operating elements so they can return to the zero-position and actuate the Start-button. The machine will not react if the operating elements are not in zero-position. This prevents uncontrolled machine movements after the radio connection has been interrupted. Activating the Transmitter With standard 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. ENTER START-SEQ is now shown in the display. 2. Press the button for a short time. The symbol appears in the display. Release the button. The transmitter will switch off if the button is pressed for longer than half a second! 3. Press the button again. The symbol appears in the display. Keep the button pressed until the status LED flashes green. Then release the button. 4. The symbols and two text lines appear in the display. The transmitter is now ready for operation. Note: The transmitter switches off when  the button is pressed for longer than half a second in step 2 of the start sequence.  the start sequence is not completed within 4 seconds.  another button is pressed during the start sequence. In such cases, press the STOP switch and repeat the entire start sequence! Example  STOP switch Start button  Status LED  radiomatic® iLOG

Deactivating the Transmitter Press the STOP switch. Note: Replace the battery when the battery display flashes red, an acoustic signal sounds, the status LED flashes red 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.
Display Status Display Field strength (only for systems with feedback) The field strength indication provides information about the quality of the radio connection. With a perfect connection quality, all 5 bars of the indication are displayed green. The field strength indication is always visible when the transmitter is turned on. Field strength is indicated in the following degrees: Perfect reception signal Weak reception signal Symbol flashes: Feedback failure. The transmitter is not receiving signals from the receiver. Note: If the field strength is displayed in red or a feedback failure is displayed, the risk of losing radio connection is imminent. In this case, ensure that the radio connection is not impaired by an obstacle (e.g. a building). Also take care that you are within the range of the radio system. It may be necessary to change the working position. Battery The battery indication provides information about the current condition of the battery. It is always visible when the transmitter is turned on. The battery status is displayed in the following degrees: Battery charged. Forewarning: The battery needs to be charged soon. Warning: The battery has to be charged. About 30 minutes remain until the automated shut-down. Field strength Battery
Feedback The feedback function is used to transmit various information and data from the machine or the radio receiver to the radio transmitter. A number of symbols as well as two lines of text with 6 and 10 digits respectively are available for displaying feedback information. Feedback via symbols Symbol shines after the transmitter has been activated. The symbol disappears if there is a feedback or interface failure, an error notification or customer-specific warning message, or if the symbol is displayed. Symbol shines constantly or flashes. This symbol is defined by the customer. Symbol flashes: Feedback failure. The transmitter is not receiving signals from the receiver. Symbol flashes: There is an interface failure. Symbol shines constantly or flashes: Warning! This symbol is defined by the customer. Symbol shines constantly or flashes. This symbol is defined by the customer. Note: A detailed description of the displayed customer-specific feedback information has to be part of the operating manual of the specific machine in use. All instructions the operator has to follow in connection with the feedback information have to be written there as well. Feedback via text lines The customer’s demand determines which feedback information is to be displayed. For example, line 1 can display the payload and line 2 simultaneously the crane capacity. If only one line is needed for feedback information, the other line can be used for status information, for example the crane number. Error notifications The display enables the indication of diverse error notifications that are directly connected to the radio system. If such an error occurs, the symbol is displayed. Simultaneously one of the following texts is displayed: ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ADCON iLOG KEYBOARD SI2COMMAND In case of such an error notification immediately contact the responsible service technician! Beispiel

Battery and Battery Charger NiMH Battery The battery capacity (= the ability to store electric current) and the battery charge (= the actual amount of stored current) depend on the age of the battery and the environment temperature. Older batteries begin to lose capacity over time. If the temperatures are below 0 °C or above 40 °C, the charge decreases faster. Note:  In all cases, charge the batteries completely before initial use and at intervals not exceeding 6 months if they are stored. This ensures that the batteries have their full capacity in use, even after long storage. Please refer to the date on the battery’s packaging.  Charge the battery fully before storing it for a prolonged period. Otherwise total discharge may occur.  Use only the associated HBC charger to charge the battery  Charge the battery at an ambient temperature of 0 – 40 °C (32 – 104 °F).  Charge the battery only when the battery display flashes red, an acoustic signal sounds, the status LED flashes red and the transmitter vibrates (option).  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 Battery Charger Depending on customer selection, an AC or DC charger is available. Ensure that you observe the following instructions:  Use this charger only to charge the batteries specified on the type plate.  The charger may not be used in hazardous areas.  The charger has to be operated with the voltage indicated on the back.  The charger has to be used in vehicles or indoors only.  Use the charger only within the specified temperature range.  Protect the charger against heat, dust and humidity.  Do not cover the charger while it is in use.  Disconnect the charger from the power supply when it is not in use.  In case of any fault of the charger or the connecting cable disconnect it immediately and put it out of operation.  Do not make technical changes to the charger or the connecting cable.  Defects must be repaired by qualified personnel only. Three LEDs indicate the actual operating state of the battery. LED green: Illuminates when battery is charged. LED orange: Illuminates when battery is charging. LED red: Illuminates when battery is deep discharged or defective. Note: If a deep discharged battery is inserted into the charger, the red LED will illuminate for a few seconds before charging is started (LED orange illuminates).

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 can store 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 radio system 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 radio channel is already assigned to another user. Frequency Selection via Scanner Transmitter and receiver are equipped with four frequencies (refer to wiring diagrams). If the radio channel is occupied, you can switch to another radio 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 radio 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 radio channel is free. If the radio channel is occupied, the system automatically finds and saves a free radio channel. If the radio 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 radio 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 radio channels constantly. If the radio channel currently in use is occupied by another radio control system, radiomatic® AFM switches automatically to a free radio 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 machines are selected at the transmitter via a rotary switch: A only machine A A+B machine A + machine B B only machine B Tandem Operation T2 The radio system consists of 2 transmitters and 2 receivers for 2 machines. Both transmitters are master transmitters and can control the machines individually or in parallel. During normal operation transmitter 1 controls machine A and transmitter 2 controls machine B. In order to be able to switch to machine B or A+B at transmitter 1, for example, the key must be removed from transmitter 2 and inserted in transmitter 1. 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 transmitter 1. 1.Switch transmitter 1 and 2 off and remove the key from transmitter 2. 2.Insert the key from transmitter 2 in transmitter 1. Machine selection via transmitter 1 is activated. 3.Turn the rotary switch of transmitter 1 to A+B. 4.Switch transmitter 1 on and actuate the start button. 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.
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. Machine selection via master transmitter is activated. 3.Turn the rotary switch of master transmitter to A+B. 4.Switch master transmitter on and actuate the start button. 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.
