Use the optional wrist strap. 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. 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 " 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.

Radio Control System 3 Operation Caution : The operation of the transmitter is permissible only with the carrying set included with the transmitter (possibility of mixing up the operator controls) ! 1. Before commissioning the transmitter or initial operation, insert a fully charged battery (FuB 15 AA, yellow or FuB 10 XL, light blue) into battery compartment (pos. ) at the bottom of the transmitter. The battery supplies the necessary working voltage (6 V DC). 2. Turn STOP pushbutton (pos. ) to unlock. 3. Turn key switch (pos. ) to the right (position "1" = ON). 4. Switch ON transmitter and crane or machine with "ON" pushbutton. The green LED (pos. ) flashes, 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 "Horn" pushbutton. This warns all colleagues that the crane or machine is about to move; – test the operativeness of the STOP pushbutton. A radio connection to the receiver is established when the red LED "HF/RF/H.F./HF" on the receiver will be extinguished and the green LED "Si1" is illuminated (see radio status panel of the receiver), i.e. the radio system is ready to operate and the control commands may be input via the transmitter. If the red LED on the transmitter (fig. above, pos. ) flashes and / or an acoustic signal comes, this indicates that the battery is almost fully discharged. Now, you must replace the discharged battery by a charged one and recharge the discharged battery (refer to chapter "Battery and Battery Charger"). Note : If the discharged battery is not replaced by a charged one, the transmitter will be automatically switched OFF after a few minutes.

Switch off the transmitter via the key switch. 2. Unlock the STOP pushbutton by turning. 3. Switch the transmitter on again via the key switch. 4. Press the “(Crane) On” button. Note : Use the key switch to switch the transmitter on and off. Use the STOP pushbutton only in case of an emergency or any disturbances within the working range Automatic Switch-OFF ( APO Function ) For safety reasons we have equipped the transmitter with an automatic switch-OFF (APO = Automatic Power Off function). 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 (APO function) does not relieve the operator of his responsibility to turn OFF the transmitter when not in use ! The transmitter can be reactivated by means of the "ON“ pushbutton. Slewing Gear Release Note : This function is available only by radio control systems for construction cranes. 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 crane – possibly a flashing one.

Radio Control System 3.2 Special Operating Modes ( Optional ) Note : 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 Option Scanner ( Frequency Selector ) Note : This is a standard function by radio control systems for construction cranes, and available as an option by radio control systems for industrial cranes. 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 the momentarily used radio channel is being used by another operator, the transmitter can be switched over to a different channel by means of the rotary switch. The receiver scanner automatically adjusts the receiver to the selected radio frequency. After turning ON the transmitter (set key switch to "ON" position and do not forget to unlock STOP pushbutton), the receiver automatically resets the system to the new frequency selected in less than a second.

After activating the receiver all transmitters have equal access to the control system. Releasing the crane ( "Pitch" ) To release the crane : 1. Enter the "pitch" command via the rotary switch or pushbutton on transmitter 1 or transmitter 2. 2. For safety reasons we recommend switching OFF transmitter 1 or transmitter 2. This will avoid operator errors. This cancels the access rights of transmitter 1 or transmitter 2 to the crane. Taking over control of the crane ( "Catch" ) To take over the control of the crane, enter the "catch" command via the rotary switch or pushbutton on transmitter 1 or transmitter 2. 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. Operating Example : Transmitter 2 has control over the crane control system. Transmitter 1 is to be given control. The operators must continue as follows : 1. Enter the "pitch" command via the rotary switch or pushbutton on transmitter 2. 2. For safety reasons we recommend switching OFF transmitter 2, i.e. turn the key switch to the "0 = OFF" position. 3. Activate transmitter 1, i.e. turn the key switch to the "1 = ON" position. 4. Enter the "catch" command via the rotary switch or pushbutton on transmitter 1. Transmitter 1 now has sole access to all crane functions. Notes : – A power loss at the receiver-end activates a general reset of the crane system. All transmitters have access to the crane radio controls. This implies that the pitch – catch settings must be readjusted at the transmitter-end. – Should an operator forget to issue the "pitch" statement and shuts down his transmitter (transmitter shut down using the STOP pushbutton or technical failure) the second transmitter has no access to the crane radio control system. In order to give transmitter 2 access to the radio control system the receiver must be cut OFF from the supply voltage (master switch) and the crane control system reactivated as described above. – The "pitch" and "catch" commands should therefore be laid on a rotary switch or a pushbutton. In addition, a lamp that can be mounted on the crane will indicate when the receiver is busy (busy display).

Radio Control System 3.2.3 Option Tandem Operation Tandem Operation T1 Parallel control of two cranes (2 receivers) on one radio frequency is possible with one radio transmitter using the option tandem operation "T1". The individual cranes can be controlled using the rotary switch on the transmitter (fig. right, bottom). The individual switching positions mean : A Access to crane A A+B Access to both cranes B Access to crane B Tandem Operation T2 Operation of two cranes is possible with two complete radio control systems (2 transmitters, 2 receivers) using the option tandem operation "T2", whereby each transmitter is a "master" transmitter. The radio transmitter key for crane A can also be used to switch over the transmitter for crane A to crane B. To do this, the following steps must be carried out : 1. Remove the key from master transmitter 2. This switches OFF master transmitter 2. 2. Put the key from master transmitter 2 into master transmitter 1. This activates the release for crane pre-selection in the transmitter. or 3. Remove the key from master transmitter 1. This switches OFF master transmitter 1. 4. Put the key from master transmitter 1 into master transmitter 2. This activates the release for crane pre-selection in the transmitter. 5. Select the corresponding crane by means of the rotary switch on the master transmitter 1 or master transmitter 2 : either crane A or crane A+B (both cranes) or crane B. The corresponding cranes are now running in the pre-selected operation mode. Note : During tandem operation "T2", each transmitter is a "master" transmitter. It is possible, however, to operate only one "master" and one "slave" transmitter. In this case, only the "master" transmitter is able to control both cranes in tandem operation.

The radio transmitter key for crane B can also be used to switch over the transmitter for crane A to crane B. To do this, the following steps must be carried out : 1. Remove the key from the slave transmitter. This switches OFF the slave transmitter. 2. Put the key from slave transmitter into master transmitter. This activates the release for crane pre-selection in the transmitter. 3. Select the corresponding crane by means of the rotary switch on the master transmitter : either crane A or crane A+B (both cranes) or crane B. The corresponding cranes are now running in the pre-selected operation mode. Note : To ensure safe operation during tandem operation "T2" and "TM / TS", it is imperatively required that only one key is available to the respective crane operators. The extra key supplied with transmitter 2 must therefore be deposited at a superior, authoritative position and only be handed out in clarified cases.
