Turn the Green Rotary Key Switch to the OFF position and remove the key from the transmitter. 3. Switch off the main power to the crane. 4. Contact your distributor or installer. NOTE: Read ALL safety information before you operate this product. 2.1 Emergency Procedures If the F22 unit detects an error or system fault, it will issue an emergency STOP command and deactivate all systems programmed for a STOP command. It is therefore important to install the F22 system correctly so that if it detects a fault, it can perform an emergency stop and the crane will shut down safely. 2.2 General Safety Information This manual is intended for the user as a general reference only. Please consult your distributor for installation or assistance with specific technical issues. In an industrial environment, safety must always be a top priority. Persons responsible for installation, operation, and maintenance must make certain that both their actions and the equipment on which they work are safe. This chapter includes a list of safety rules that must be followed when working with TELECRANE products, as well as cranes in general. This list is not intended to be all-inclusive. General industrial safety rules must always be followed. If there is any doubt about how to proceed, always take the safest course of action. 2.3 Installation Safety Only qualified personnel should install this product. For installation instructions and safety information, refer to Part 2 of this manual. 2.4 Operational Safety • Operating any piece of equipment in an industrial facility can be dangerous; therefore, provide adequate training to operators of cranes that use this equipment. • At least once each shift, check the amount of power remaining in the transmitter batteries (see Section 4.1.3, “Checking Battery Power”). If it is low, change all four batteries before beginning operation. Operating the unit with excessively discharged batteries can be unsafe.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Page 4 of 87 Chapter 2 • If the transmitter battery power becomes insufficient, the transmitter will send out an Emergency Stop signal (EMS). This signal will stop all actions previously set to shut down when a STOP signal is received. The LED on the transmitter will illuminate red continuously and the buzzer on the transmitter will buzz continuously until the batteries are removed. If this occurs, replace all four batteries before using the product again. • The magnetic safety key should be removed from the transmitter whenever it is not in use and should only be issued to authorized personnel. • All TELECRANE F22 Radio Remote Controls are tested before they leave the factory. However, they should not be used in dangerous situations or in a manner such that damage might result. • Although the transmitter is very durable and weather-resistant, precautions should always be taken to limit its exposure to weather, physical impact, and corrosives. • After use, or if the unit will not be used for a long interval, turn off the power to the crane and remove the magnetic safety key from the transmitter. • Remove the batteries from the transmitter if the transmitter will not be used for two weeks or longer. • Transmitters that are not in use, including spare transmitters, should be secured to prevent accidental operation. • Before each shift, check that the limit switches on the crane function correctly. • Before each shift, check that the movement of the crane corresponds to the button being pressed on the transmitter. • Do not use the product during lightning storms or high electrical interference conditions. 2.5 Safety When Performing User Maintenance Before performing any maintenance on this product, review Chapter 5, “User Maintenance.”

Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 4 Page 11 of 87 Chapter 4 Operation of the F22 Series Industrial Radio Remote Controller Note: Operating industrial equipment can be hazardous. Use TELECRANE equipment only in accordance with the directions specified in this manual and follow all safety guidelines. Only trained personnel should use TELECRANE equipment. 4.1 Normal Operation of the Handheld and Joystick Models The F22 Series Industrial Radio Remote Controls offer flexibility for a variety of applications and functions that can be specified and set at the factory. The system consists of a receiver and two transmitters, and uses a series of pushbuttons and other controls to operate a crane or industrial equipment. This chapter describes the general operation of the TELECRANE system, and provides specific information related to both the handheld and joystick models. 4.1.1 Pre-Operational Checks Before you operate this product, perform the following checks to ensure that the unit is in proper working order: Periodically inspect the limit switches on the crane and ensure that they actuate correctly and stop the motion they control. Inspect the position and location of the equipment to ensure that the transmitter and receiver are not exposed to a damaging environment such as high temperatures or high impact. 4.1.2 Power-On Procedure Inspect the transmitter and receiver at the start of each work day to ensure safe operation of this product. Note: If the password feature has been enabled, follow the Power-On procedure described in Section 4.2.1. (Password feature available only on handheld models). To turn on the transmitter: 1. Retrieve the green Rotary Key and place it in the transmitter. 2. Disable the Emergency Stop by turning the red EMS button clockwise until it pops out, then releasing. 3. Turn the green Rotary Key Switch clockwise past “ON” to the “START” position, note the LED color, then release. The switch will spring back to the ON position and a tone will sound. The transmitter is now active.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Page 12 of 87 Chapter 4 At the start of each shift, perform the following safety checks: 1. Confirm that there is sufficient battery power to operate the transmitter: If the LED color during the power-on procedure was green, then there is sufficient battery power to operate the transmitter. If the LED color was yellow or red, then battery power is low and all four batteries should be replaced immediately. See Table 4-1-3 below for more details. 2. Test the emergency stop function by pressing the red EMS button (shown in Figure 7). A tone will sound and the LED will flash red and green alternately to indicate actuation of the emergency stop. If this does not occur, do not use the transmitter. If the emergency stop function works correctly, then restart the transmitter. 3. Confirm that the movement of the crane or other equipment corresponds to the appropriate control being activated on the transmitter. 4.1.3 Checking Battery Power The transmitter will not work properly unless sufficient battery power is available. Before each use, check the battery power and, if needed, replace the batteries following the battery changing procedure in Section 5.3 (handheld models) or 5.4 (joystick model). Remaining battery power is indicated by the color of the transmitter’s LED display (the circular light adjacent to the green Rotary Key Switch). When the unit is turned on and whenever any button is pressed, the LED will turn green, yellow, or red to indicate the remaining power. To avoid motion of the crane or other equipment, use the Rotary Key Switch during a manual battery check. To do this, turn the green Rotary Key Switch clockwise past “ON” to the “START” position and hold it there. The LED will indicate the remaining power according to Table 4-1-3 below (Note: Ensure that the R0 Relay is not connected to any device because this step will activate that relay): Table 4-1-3 Battery Power Indicator LED Color Battery Power Level Green Sufficient power to operate. Yellow Battery power is too low. Change the batteries as soon as it is safe to do so. A warning beep will sound every 4 seconds when any button is depressed. Follow the battery changing procedure in Chapter 1, Section 5.3 (handheld models) or 5.4 (joystick model). Red There is insufficient power to operate normally and the transmitter will send an emergency stop signal to the receiver. Follow the battery changing procedure in Chapter 1, Section 5.3 (handheld models) or 5.4 (joystick model). Figure 7: EMS Button and Start Key EMS Button Start Key
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 4 Page 13 of 87 4.1.4 Pushbutton Operation The F22 Series transmitters can control a large number of motions and include factory programming customized to your application. As a result, the specific function of each button will vary depending on the application. See Chapter 10 of this manual for descriptions of the standard and custom button functions that are available. Operate the transmitter by pressing the appropriate motion and auxiliary buttons for your application. Depending on which model you select, some or all of the following types of pushbuttons are available: Table 4-1-4. Pushbutton Types and Descriptions Pushbutton Type Description Normal (Non-Interlocked) Non-interlocked pushbuttons are standard ON/OFF pushbuttons. The relay is ON when the pushbutton is pressed and held, and OFF when the pushbutton is released. A typical application for a non-interlocked button would be a horn. Normal (Interlocked) Interlocked pushbuttons are pairs of buttons programmed to prevent simultaneous operation of certain relays. A typical example of interlocked pushbuttons would be to prevent simultaneous operation of relays that actuate EAST and WEST motions of a trolley. If two interlocked pushbuttons are pressed at the same time, then both relays are switched OFF. Toggle The relay is switched ON when the button is pressed once and released. The relay is switched OFF when the same button is pressed again and released. A typical application for a toggle button would be lights. On-Off A set of two buttons where one latches the relay ON and the other latches the relay OFF. A typical application for on-off buttons would be a magnet. 2-Step A 2-step button has two ON positions: Half- and fully-depressed. A typical application for a 2-step button is to control a 2-speed motion; the half-depressed position could correspond to a slow speed and the fully-depressed position could correspond to a faster speed. They can also control variable speed drives as well, such as “infinitely variable” type applications. 4.1.5 Power-Down Procedures To turn off the transmitter: 1. Press the red Emergency Stop (EMS) button. 2. Rotate the green Rotary Key Switch counterclockwise to the OFF position. 3. Remove the key and store it in a secure place. 4. If the transmitter will not be used for two weeks or longer, then remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dry place.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Page 14 of 87 Chapter 4 4.2 Special Functions of Handheld Models 4.2.1 Entering a Password (Optional) The F22 Series Handheld models provide the ability to require a four-character password before use. This feature helps prevent unauthorized or inadvertent use of industrial equipment. This feature must be enabled, and the password set, at the factory. If this option has been enabled, then the operator will be required to enter a four-character password before operating the transmitter. To enter a password, follow the steps below during normal power-on (Note: Do not follow the steps listed in Section 4.1.2): 1. Rotate the red EMS Button clockwise 45° and pull out. 2. Turn the green Rotary Key Switch clockwise to the ON position (Note: Do not turn the switch all the way to START). 3. While the LED is flashing green, press the pushbuttons sequentially to enter the four-character password (Note: There is a 10-second time limit). 4. If the password was entered correctly, then the buzzer will sound one long tone. 5. After the buzzer stops, turn the Rotary Key Switch to the START position and release. It will spring back to the ON position. The transmitter is now ready for normal use. 6. If the password was entered incorrectly, then the buzzer will sound two short and one long tone. 7. After the buzzer stops, re-enter the correct password. Table 4-2-1. Signals for Correct / Incorrect Password Correct Password Transmitter Sounds 1 Long Tone, LED Lights Green Incorrect Password Transmitter Sounds 2 Short and 1 Long Tone. Try again. Note: The password must be re-entered to return to normal operation if either: 1. The EMS Button is pressed; OR 2. An emergency stop signal is sent to the receiver due to a (factory-settable) period of inactivity (see Sections 10.4 and 10.5 for a description of the Auto-Shutdown feature). 4.2.2 Ratcheting Operation Ratcheting is the ability to increase or decrease speed in discrete steps. This function is available on handheld models F22-10D1, F22-12D, F22-6D and F22-6D1. The “ratchet up” button is 5 on F22-10D1 and F22-12D, and South on F22-6D and F22-6D1. The “ratchet down” button is 6 on F22-10D1 and F22-12D, and North on F22-6D and F22-6D1. To use ratcheting: 1. Press and hold the button controlling the desired motion, then press the “ratchet up” pushbutton to incrementally increase the speed of the equipment, or the “ratchet down” pushbutton to incrementally decrease the speed of the equipment. 2. When a motion button is fully depressed, one touch of the “ratchet up” button will move to the next highest speed. Repeated touches will increase the speed up to four more times (six total speeds, including the initial 2-step button press).
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 4 Page 15 of 87 3. To reduce the speed, press the “ratchet down” button once. Repeated pressing will reduce the speed to the lowest speed of the ratcheting feature. To get to the lowest speed, lift the motion button from the second step to the first step. Note: When accelerating or decelerating with the ratchet function, the motion button must be fully depressed. If the motion button is fully released, then the speed will return to zero. If a two-step motion button is partially released, then the speed will return to the lowest setting. Table 4-2-2 Pushbuttons for Ratcheting Any Motion Button/Second Speed + Pushbutton 5 or South Increase Speed Any Motion Button/Second Speed + Pushbutton 6 or North Decrease Speed 4.2.3 Inching Operation Inching is the ability to move a load in small increments so that it can be more precisely controlled, without requiring the user to press and release buttons very rapidly. This function is available on all handheld models with pushbutton 5. To use the inching function: 1. Ensure that all pushbuttons are released and that the equipment is motionless. 2. Press and hold the 5 pushbutton. 3. Press the applicable motion pushbutton to move the load a small distance in that direction. 4.3 Special Functions of Joystick Models The Model F22-J Joystick Type Remote Controller offers broad flexibility on a variety of applications through user-specific, customizable functions that are pre-programmed at the factory. The system includes a transmitter and a spare transmitter, each with two joysticks, six pushbuttons, and four rotary dials. The F22-J controller transmitter offers the most flexibility for a wide range of applications. 4.3.1 Buttons on the Joystick Controller The Joystick controller includes pushbuttons similar to those on the F22 Series Handheld units. The pushbuttons can control motion or auxiliary functions and are custom-programmed at the factory for your specific application. See Chapter 10 for detailed descriptions of the functions that are available, and Section 10.2 for a discussion of button types. 4.3.2 Joystick Operation: Direction of Movement The F22-J includes two joysticks, each of which can control four primary directions of motion. The directions of motion can be combined so that, for example, a bridge/trolley combination can move North and East simultaneously. The functions for axial movements of Joystick 1 and Joystick 2 are preset at the factory based on your application. A typical setting might be:
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Page 16 of 87 Chapter 4 Joystick 1 (Controls Bridge and Trolley) Joystick 2 (Controls Hoists) Direction Motion Direction Motion Forward Bridge moves North Forward Hoist moves UP Back Bridge moves South Back Hoist moves DOWN Left Trolley moves West Left Aux Hoist moves DOWN Right Trolley moves East Right Aux Hoist moves UP 4.3.3 Joystick Operation: Speed Settings In each of the four directions of motion, the joysticks can have up to five detent positions. For example, there could be five detents in the forward direction, each of which could be associated to a speed setting. A smaller number of detent positions can also be specified and set at the factory. The time elapsed between a change from one speed to the next can be customized for your particular application. 4.3.4 Joystick Operation: Rotary Switch Operation The F22-J joystick type transmitter is supplied with four rotary switches labeled A, B, C, and D. Rotary switches A and D are simple ON/OFF switches designed to control items like magnets and lights. The B and C switches are three-position switches normally used to switch between different systems. For example, rotary switch B could control Hoist 1, Hoist 2, or both Hoist 1 and Hoist 2 simultaneously. The table below summarizes the available switches and switch positions: Switch A Switch B* Switch C* Switch D Available Positions On Off A (A+B) or Neither B A (A+B) or Neither B On Off *Three-position switch Note that the names of Switches A and B are not related in any way to the names of Positions A and B.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 5 Page 17 of 87 Chapter 5 User Maintenance 5.1 Safety Aspects of User Maintenance • In general, maintenance on this product should only be performed by your installer, distributor, or ITL. • Ensure that anyone performing maintenance on the unit is thoroughly familiar with its operation. • The crane’s power sources should be shut off before any maintenance begins, unless absolutely required for troubleshooting the unit. When the power to the crane is on, use extreme caution. High voltage or unexpected movement of the crane can cause death or severe injury. • Fall prevention devices should be used when anyone is working on the crane at an elevated height. • Only ITL-certified maintenance personnel should attempt a repair more involved than the swapping of printed circuit boards. Improper repair can compromise the built-in safety features and can cause unexpected operation and damage. • This product uses four AA alkaline batteries. When replacing batteries, all four must be replaced at the same time. • ITL does not recommend use of nickel-cadmium batteries due to voltage characteristics that cause a sudden loss of power when discharged. They also have less capacity than AA alkaline batteries. 5.2 Unusual Alarms The F22 Series Industrial Radio Remote Controller is equipped with a self-diagnostic program. If a malfunction is detected during the operation of the equipment, the system will sound an alarm on the receiver to indicate a receiver malfunction, or a buzzer on the transmitter to indicate a transmitter malfunction. If this occurs, review Chapter 6 of the Operator’s Manual, “Basic Troubleshooting.” 5.3 Battery Changing Procedure (Handheld Models) 1. Unscrew the cover of the battery compartment. 2. Remove and discard the old batteries. 3. Install 4 new AA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment, noting the polarity markings. 4. Replace the cover of the battery compartment. 5. Confirm proper installation: If the batteries were installed correctly, the transmitter will beep twice. If the transmitter does not beep twice, check battery polarity. 5.4 Battery Changing Procedure (Joystick Models) 1. Unscrew and open the hinged battery cover. 2. Remove the battery caddy and discard the old batteries. 3. Install 4 new AA alkaline batteries into the battery caddy noting the polarity markings. 4. Replace the battery caddy and close the hinged battery cover. 5. Confirm proper installation: If the batteries were installed correctly, the transmitter will beep twice. If the transmitter does not beep twice, check battery polarity.

Design features include: • Heavy duty, shock-resistant design • Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials • Button life in excess of 2,000,000 cycles • Self-diagnostics to simplify troubleshooting and maintenance In addition to these features, all handheld and joystick models are delivered with two complete transmitters. This provides the ultimate in reliability; in the event that one transmitter is damaged, you can switch to the backup transmitter. 6.2 Self-Diagnostics and Error Codes Both the transmitter and receiver of the F22 Series are designed with sophisticated self-diagnostics to simplify troubleshooting and maintenance. This allows for detection of malfunctions in the pushbuttons, joystick, RF circuit, and relay driver circuits. The system will sound an alarm signal in Morse Code if a malfunction occurs in either the transmitter or receiver (see Chapter 11 for a table of error codes). If an error message is detected by the self-diagnostic program, then the appropriate alarm signal will sound and a Power-Off of the system will be initiated. Until the malfunction is corrected, the system will remain shut down (see Section 7.1 for more information). 6.3 User Troubleshooting In the event that a problem occurs, follow the listed steps in order until the unit is functioning normally. If you are unable to solve the problem, then return the unit to your distributor for service. 1. Check the EMS switch. If it is depressed, reset it by rotating clockwise until it pops up. 2. Check the green Rotary Start Switch. If it is missing, replace it. If it is present, turn it to OFF. Then turn it clockwise past “ON” to the “START” position, then release. The switch will spring back to the ON position and a tone should sound. 3. Ensure that the batteries are present and charged (see Section 4.1.3) and replace if necessary. 4. Turn off the transmitter and try using the backup transmitter. (Note: Before using the backup transmitter, check its battery power (see Section 4.1.3) and replace batteries if necessary). If use of the backup transmitter solves the problem, return the malfunctioning transmitter to your distributor for service. If the backup transmitter does not work, then the problem may be with the receiver. If the transmitter is damaged or malfunctioning, then return it to your distributor for service and use the backup transmitter in the meantime.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Page 20 of 87 Chapter 6 If the receiver appears to be damaged or malfunctioning, then ensure that the green carrier light illuminates when a button on a working transmitter is pressed. This light is one of the LED’s on the front cover of the receiver. If the carrier light does not illuminate, contact your distributor. Both the transmitter and receiver are equipped with self-diagnostics. If either one detects a malfunction, it will sound an error message in Morse code. If this occurs, record the error message (a series of long and short tones) and inform your distributor.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 7 Page 21 of 87 Part 2: Technician’s Manual Chapter 7 Safe Installation Emergency Procedure In case of emergency, perform these steps IN ORDER: 1. Press the Red STOP Button. 2. Turn the Green Rotary Key Switch to the OFF position and remove the key from the transmitter. 3. Switch off the main power to the crane. 4. Contact your distributor or installer. NOTE: Read ALL safety information before you install or operate this product. 7.1 Emergency Procedures If the F22 unit detects an error or system fault, it will issue an emergency STOP command and deactivate all systems programmed for a STOP command. It is therefore important to install the F22 system correctly so that if it detects a fault, it can perform an emergency stop and the crane will shut down safely. 7.2 General Safety Information In an industrial environment, safety must always be a top priority. Persons responsible for installation, operation, and maintenance must make certain that both their actions and the equipment on which they work are safe. This chapter includes a list of safety rules that must be followed when working with TELECRANE products, as well as cranes in general. This list is not intended to be all-inclusive. General industrial safety rules must always be followed. If there is any doubt about how to proceed, always take the safest course of action. 7.3 Installation Safety • Before installing or operating this product, read this manual thoroughly. If you have any questions, please contact ITL. • Only qualified personnel who are familiar with the product and who have read these safety instructions should install TELECRANE products. • All sources of power to the crane or controlled equipment must be de-energized and applicable lockout/tag out procedures executed before installing the unit. • Before installing the receiver, energize it in a controlled environment (for example, an office) where it can be tested and set up properly before it is mounted in the field.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Page 22 of 87 Chapter 7 • Before installation, be certain to understand the electrical functioning of the crane, including the order and relationship of motions and contactors. • Fall prevention devices should be used when anyone is working on the crane. • The receiver must be securely attached and located where it will not be hit by any moving part of the building, crane, or load. • The crane must be equipped with limit switches for each motion and a main power contactor that cuts off all power to the motors of the crane when it is de-energized. • Special care must be taken for magnets and other load-carrying devices; ensure that if the crane is de-energized the load remains supported. • The receiver must be located so that it receives sufficient signal strength from the transmitter. The preferred location is in sight of the operator. However, if this is not possible (e.g., if the receiver unit is in a metal box), then an external antenna should be mounted such that it is in sight of the operator. • Test the unit before placing it in service. If the crane does not work exactly as intended, fix the problem and test it again.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 8 Page 23 of 87 Chapter 8 Installation 8.1 Transmitter Installation No special installation is required for F22 Series Industrial Radio Remote Controller transmitters.

If fresh batteries are required, install them as described below: 8.1.1 Battery Installation (Handheld Models Only) 1. Unscrew the cover of the battery compartment. 2. If present, remove and discard the old batteries. 3. Install 4 new AA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment, noting the polarity markings. 4. Replace the cover of the battery compartment. 5. Confirm proper installation: If the batteries were installed correctly, the transmitter will beep twice. If the transmitter does not beep twice, check battery polarity. 8.1.2 Battery Installation (Joystick Models Only) 1. Unscrew and open the hinged battery cover. 2. If present, remove the battery caddy and discard the old batteries. 3. Install 4 new AA alkaline batteries into the battery caddy noting the polarity markings. 4. Replace the battery caddy and close the hinged battery cover. 5. Confirm proper installation: If the batteries were installed correctly, the transmitter will beep twice. If the transmitter does not beep twice, check battery polarity. 8.2 Receiver Installation Precautions During Receiver Installation 1. Observe all safety precautions and use fall protection devices when climbing the crane. 2. Turn off the main power source to the crane before installation to prevent electrical shock. 3. Securely fasten the receiver to the crane and ensure that it is located such that it does not touch any part of the building during operation. 4. Inspect the crane’s limit switches and other applicable safety devices before installation to ensure that they are in proper working condition. 5. Understand the crane power and control circuits and the function settings of the remote controller before installation. 6. Locate the receiver away from motors, frequency converters, and power cables to avoid radio interference. 7. Use an extended antenna if the receiver is installed in a metal enclosure. 8.2.1 Preparing for Receiver Installation 1. Select a proper location. • Select a stable place.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Page 24 of 87 Chapter 8 • If possible, select a place where you can see the receiver or antenna during operation. • Select a place away from motors, relays, high-voltage wiring, magnetic switches, and power cables. • The receiver must be at least 3 cm away from any obstacles. 2. Determine the available power source. The standard input voltage for the handheld’s receiver is 120 VAC, 60 Hz (240 VAC and 12 or 24 V, AC or DC, are also available). The joystick’s receiver auto-detects the power source and can accept either 120 VAC, 60 Hz or 240 VAC, 60 Hz, with no action required by the installer. 8.2.2 Mounting and Connecting the Receiver To mount and connect the receiver, perform the following steps: 1. Turn off the main power of the crane. 2. Drill the holes for the mounting screws, install the receiver, and then mount the receiver using 6mm nuts on the vibration-resistant rubber stand-offs. Refer to the Technical Sheet for the receiver for the size and location of the mounting holes. 3. Connect the wires from the cable to the control circuit of the crane. Refer to the Technical Sheets in Chapter 14 for a schematic diagram of the receiver (or see the schematic on the front of the receiver itself). Note that the numbers in parentheses on the schematic correspond to the wire number in the cable. 4. Secure the cables to avoid wear due to the vibration of the crane or other factors. 5. Twist and pull out the red Stop button on the receiver. 8.2.3 Receiver Installation Test Plan The Run/Test toggle switch inside the receiver is provided to enable testing of the unit before it is placed in service. When the switch is in the RUN position, the unit functions normally. When the switch is in the TEST position, relay power is interrupted; the LEDs will light but the relays will not actuate. To test the unit: 1. Open the top cover of the receiver and set the Run/Test switch to the TEST position (see Section 12.2.5). 2. Turn on the main power for crane. 3. Using the transmitter, test each button and function; the relays will not actuate but the LEDs will illuminate. 4. After testing, set the Run/Test switch to the RUN position and replace the top cover of the receiver. 8.3 Installation of Optional Accessories For installation of any optional accessories such as the Extended Antenna Kit, refer to the accessory’s Technical Sheet in Chapter 14.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 9 Page 25 of 87 Chapter 9 Programming By Computer 9.1 Overview The Telecrane F22 Series Radio Remote Controls use a Windows based application program to read, write, and change their programming. This programming is generally performed at the factory when a unit is ordered, and is selected by the customer from the options in Chapter 10 and communicated by means of the “Programming Sheets” in Chapter 14. In some specific cases, for example, when a large distributor wishes to stock a number of units, for which the programming requirements are not known when the units are ordered from ITL, this programming must be accomplished outside the factory. ITL can provide to such a distributor a laptop computer, preloaded with the application program and other required programs. Instructions for use of the computer and program are provided with the unit.

Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 11 Page 35 of 87 Chapter 11 Alarm Codes This Chapter provides a listing of Alarm Codes to be used during diagnostics and repair activities. Please refer to Chapter 6 for troubleshooting information. 1. If the F22 detects an error, an alarm tone may sound. The alarm tones are given in Morse code, where “.” (dot) indicates a short alarm for a duration of 0.26 second and “—” (dash) a long alarm for a duration of 0.78 second. The interval between each alarm tone is 0.26 second. 2. If the unit’s self-diagnostics detect an error and sound the alarm tones, then the unit will be disabled and will not function until the malfunction is corrected. Maintenance technicians can use these error codes for troubleshooting, however the best solution is usually replacement of the defective module.

Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 12 Page 39 of 87 Chapter 12 Principles of Operation of Major Subcomponents This Chapter provides an overview of the major functions of the F22 Series, including a description of the transmitter, the receiver, and the major parts of each. 12.1 Transmitter The most important components of the transmitter are the Encoder/Button printed circuit board, the RF Module, and an EEPROM. 12.1.1 Encoder/Button PCB This module is the heart of the transmitter. It contains the pushbuttons, power control circuitry, micro-controller, and EEPROM (see Figure 8). The micro-controller encodes the information from the pushbuttons, along with security code and error correction data, into a serial data stream. This data stream, after passing through an audio-frequency-shift-keying circuit, is sent to the transmitter RF module. 12.1.2 Transmitter RF Module This module is a narrowband FM transmitter with a digitally synthesized frequency output using a phase locked loop circuit (see Figure 9). 12.1.3 EEPROM This component, found on both the Encoder/Button PCB and Receiver/Decoder Module, contains all of the programming and security code information used by the micro-controller. It is a non-volatile memory device, meaning that it does not require constant supply of power to hold its contents. Figure 8: Encoder/Button PCB Figure 9: Transmitter RF Module
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Page 40 of 87 Chapter 12 12.2 Receiver The most important components of the receiver are the Receiver/Decoder Module, the Relay printed circuit board, the LED printed circuit board, the EEPROM, the Mainline Indicator printed circuit board, and the Run/Test Switch. 12.2.1 Receiver/Decoder Module This module combines a narrowband FM receiver, the frequency of which is digitally synthesized, with a decoder circuit, which converts the audio signal from the receiver to a serial data stream of relay commands. It contains a micro-controller, which examines the incoming signal and determines, by means of the security code and other information, whether it contains valid commands to change the state of the relays. It then issues these commands to the Relay PCB. 12.2.2 Relay PCB This module latches the serial relay command data and drives the output relays. It also contains the power supply for the rest of the receiver. 12.2.3 LED PCB This module displays the state of all of the receiver’s relays by means of green LEDs (see Figure 10). Figure 10: LED Printed Circuit Board on Joystick Receiver
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 12 Page 41 of 87 12.2.4 Mainline Indicator Lamp PCB This module indicates, by means of several bright red LEDs, when the mainline relay is activated and the unit is ready to operate. 12.2.5 Run/Test Switch This switch, part of the Relay PCB, interrupts the flow of power to the operating coils of the relays, thus rendering them inoperative. The LED PCB is unaffected by this switch, and can be used to test the equipment without movement of the crane. The switch functions in the same manner for both the handheld and joystick models (see Figures 11 and 12). Run/Test Switch Figure 11: Location of Run/Test Switch in Receiver for Handhelds
