Description
The PM NTU transmitter is designed to transmit command instructions for controlling construction, industrial
and mobile cranes, hoists and machines.
Depending on the type and version selected, up to 32 digital or 8 analog + 24 digital 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 < 10 mW transmitting power.
Operating the PM NTU transmitter using a different frequency range or transmitting power requires
the approval of the competent regulative authorities for telecommunication.
The radio control system consists of the PM NTU transmitter, two rechargeable NiCd batteries, a
battery charger and a receiver with antenna. The transmitter housing with integrated antenna is
made of glass-fiber reinforced plastic.
State of the art radio technology complying with the latest guidelines of the FCC and the use of
highly developed microprocessor technology guarantees optimal operating safety, availability and
longevity.
The following radio receivers may be used in conjunction with the PM NTU transmitter:
−
FSE 722 B
−
FSE 735
−
FSE 770
Note :
The improper use, operation or deployment of the device renders the manufacturer guarantee
void of any legal substance !

Operator Safety Instructions
Before beginning crane operation, position yourself so that you have a clear and complete
overview of the working radius of the crane or machine.
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 the STOP button. Should the transmitter show signs
of technical failure or breakdown, disconnect the radio control system immediately !
Always switch OFF the transmitter during breaks and after finishing work to avoid operating
errors or any accidental actuation of operator control elements.
– 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 (e. g. VBG 9).
Ø
Ø
Ø
Ø
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. Reactivate the radio control system by
pressing the "ON/OFF" toggle switch. 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.

Toggle Switch "Mast Speed Selection" (Pos. À)
The toggle switch "mast speed selection" enables the operator to operate the mast with one of the
factory-set motion rates. The mast can be operated at 100% speed in "rabbit" position and at 50% in
"snail" position.
The momentary contact / toggle switch "set mast speed" (pos. Á) must be in "rabbit" position (lower
position).
Momentary Contact / Toggle Switch "Set Mast Speed" (Pos. Á)
The momentary contact switch / toggle switch "set mast speed" has three different positions :
Set the toggle switch to this position to program operator-defined mast speeds.
Set the toggle switch to this position to operate the mast with operator-defined
speeds.
Set the toggle switch to this position to operate the mast with factory-set speeds.
Setting Operator-Defined Mast Speeds
Each mast function must be set separately !
Ø Hold momentary contact toggle switch (pos. Á) in up position.
Ø Use joystick (pos. Â) to operate selected mast function at maximum speed and maximum
excursion of the joy stick as is required for later use.
Ø Release momentary contact toggle switch and then joystick (observe sequence).
To operate mast functions at operator-defined speeds set toggle switch (pos. Á) to center
position and actuate joystick at maximum excursion. The mast now moves at programmed speed.
The rate of motion is proportionate to joystick excursion, i.e. reducing joystick excursion
reduces mast speed.

3.1
Battery and Battery Charger
3.1.1
FuB 10 AA Transmitter Battery
The age and ambient temperature are decisive for
the length of the battery charge. 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 10 AA battery 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 102 Battery Charger
Recharging batteries
1. Connect battery charger to mains (refer to nameplate
on battery charger for details).
2. Switch ON the battery charger via the rocker switch
(pos. À).
3. Insert battery with the nameplate facing up into the
battery compartment (pos. Á).
Charging indicator (red LED ; pos. Â )
LED lit: .................................... battery charging.
LED off or flashing: .................. battery full, i.e. operable.
LED flashes when
inserting battery: ...................... battery totally discharged
or defective.
Note :
– A discharged FuB 10 AA battery recharges in
approx. 4 hours. The 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 50 °F and
104 °F (+10 °C and +40 °C).
– Protect battery contacts against short circuits. Never store batteries in 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 and protect it from extreme heat (direct sun).
