1-3. General.
Radio controlled overhead cranes and other ma-
terial handling equipment operates in several di-
rections. They are large, bulky pieces of equip-
ment that handle heavy loads efficiently at high
speeds. Quite frequently, the equipment is oper-
ated in areas where people are working on the
floor below. The crane operator must exercise
extreme caution at all times. Workers must con-
stantly be alert to avoid accidents. The following
rules have been included to indicate how your
careful and thoughtful actions may prevent inju-
ries, damage to equipment, or even save a life. If
radio controlled material-handling equipment is
operated from the cab, special care must be taken
to secure the transmitter. Refer to section titled
Section 2-8. Boarding The Crane for specific
safety rules.
1-4. Persons Authorized To Operate Radio
Controlled Cranes.
Only properly trained persons designated by
management should be permitted to operate ra-
dio-controlled cranes.
Radio controlled cranes should not be operated
by any person who cannot read or understand
signs, notices and operating instructions that
pertain to the crane.
Radio controlled cranes should not be operated
by any person with insufficient eyesight or
hearing or by any person who may be suffering
from a disorder or illness or is taking any medi-
cation that may cause loss of crane control.
1-5. Training Checklist For Crane Operators.
Anyone being trained to operate a radio-con-
trolled crane should possess as a minimum the
following knowledge and skills before operating
the crane:
The operator should have knowledge of hazards
pertaining to crane operation.
The operator should have knowledge of the
safety rules for radio-controlled cranes.
The operator should have the ability to judge
distance of moving objects.
The operator should have knowledge of the radio
transmitter.
The operator should know the limit switch test
procedure.
The operator should know, where authorized,
instructions for plugging motions.
The operator should have knowledge of the use
of crane warning lights and alarms.
The operator should have knowledge of
observing crane signal lights.
The operator should be trained to avoid striking
any obstructions.
The operator should have knowledge of the
proper clearance of lifts or hooks before moving
bridge or trolley.
The operator should have knowledge of the
proper storage space for radio control box when
not in use.
The operator should be trained in transferring
radio control box to another person.
The operator should be trained how and when to
report unsafe or unusual operating conditions.
The operator should be trained how to exhibit
caution in approaching bridge or trolley bump-
ers.
The operator should know equipment capacity.
The operator should be trained in making lifts
below floor level.
Telemotive SLTX Transmitter Instruction Manual—3/1/06

The operator should be trained in making side
pulls.
The operator should know how to keep himself
and other people clear of lifts and to avoid
"pinch" points.
The operator should know cable and hook
inspection procedures.
The operator should know procedures for testing
hoist, trolley, and bridge brakes.
The operator should know and follow the local
lockout and tagout procedures.
1-6. Operating Area.
Aisles between equipment, stock, etc., should be
free of obstructions so the crane operator can
move freely. These aisles should be a minimum
of three feet (one meter) wide, or meet local
regulations.
Crane operators should always position them-
selves for the best view of the crane they are
controlling. The crane should never be operated
blindly. The operator should stay as close to the
crane load as possible. Operators should never
position themselves in a "pinch" point.
1-7. Transmitter Unit.
Transmitter switches should never be mechani-
cally blocked ON or OFF for any crane motion.
When not in use turn the transmitter OFF. A se-
cure storage space should be provided for the
transmitter unit and the transmitter unit should
always be placed there when not in use. This
precaution will prevent unauthorized people
from operating the crane.
Spare transmitters should be stored in a secure
storage space and only removed from the storage
space after the current transmitter in use has been
turned OFF, taken out of the service area and
secured.
1-8. Operating The Crane.
1-9. Pre-operation Test.
At the start of each work shift, or when a new
operator takes control of the crane, operators
shall do, as a minimum, the following steps
before making lifts with any crane or hoist:
Test the upper-limit switch. Slowly raise the
unloaded hook block until the limit switch trips.
When checking limit switches the hoist should
be centered over an area free of personnel and
equipment.
Visually inspect the hook, load lines, trolley, and
bridge as much as possible from the operator's
station; in most instances, this will be the floor of
the building.
The bridge and trolley brakes should be tested.
On transmitter units equipped with two or more
speeds, use the "lowest" speed when testing
braking devices.
When lifting maximum loads, the crane operator
should test the hoist brakes by raising the load a
few inches from the floor. If the brakes do not
hold, the load should immediately be lowered to
the floor.
If provided, test the lower-limit switch.
Test all warning devices.
Test all direction and speed controls for both
bridge and trolley travel.
Test all bridge and trolley limit switches, where
provided, if operation will bring the equipment
in close proximity to the limit switches.
Test the transmitter emergency stop.
Test the hoist brake to verify there is no drift
without a load.
If any crane or hoist fails any of the above tests
notify the supervisor and lock out and tagout for
repair.
1-10. General Rules For Operation.
Consult the crane manufacturer, local and
governmental regulations for complete rules of
operation. In general the following rules apply to
remotely controlled cranes:
The limit switches should never be used as a
regular stopping device. They are intended to be
protective devices.
Do not make lifts in excess of the equipment
rated capacity.
Telemotive SLTX Transmitter Instruction Manual—3/1/06
6
The bridge and trolley should be centered di-
rectly over the load when the load is raised to
prevent swinging when making lifts.
A crane designed for this purpose and only with
supervisor permission should make side pulls.
When a lift is being made, the crane operator
should not be positioned in the line of travel. The
crane or hoist should be operated from a position
either to the side or opposite from the direction
of travel.
When raising or lowering a load, proceed slowly
and make certain the load is under control. Tag
lines should be used for handling unusual lengths
or bulky loads. Remove slack from chains or
slings gradually. Make certain all personnel are
clear before making a lift.
The crane operator should keep all body parts
away from the lift and should never be posi-
tioned under the lift.
Do not make a lift or move a load if anyone is in
a location where they could be struck by the
crane or the load.
If the crane operator is being assisted, the crane
should not be moved until the assistant signals
they are clear of the crane and its load.
When a load is hanging from the crane hook and
the crane is being moved, the crane operator
should sound all warning devices frequently.
Loads should not be carried over workers heads.
If a worker is in the path of crane travel, the
crane operator should stop the crane and clear
the area before proceeding.
Runway stops or other cranes should never be
bumped into.
When moving the crane, the crane operator
should be sure that the hook block and attach-
ments or cables will not catch on nearby
equipment. Slings, chains, or cables should never
be dragged along the floor.
Unless required for operator safety, gloves
should not be worn when operating the trans-
mitter unit.
All loose materials or parts should be removed
from the load before starting the lift.
The crane operator should always hoist lifts high
enough to clear all equipment and workers.
The crane operator should never permit anyone
to ride on the load or hook except when author-
ized by the supervisor.
When another crane on the same runway is sta-
tionary with a load hanging, the crane operator
should maintain a safe distance between the sta-
tionary crane and the one under their control.
Never leave suspended loads unattended. In an
emergency, if the crane is inoperative and a load
suspended, notify the supervisor immediately,
barricade and post signs on the floor beneath
crane and load.
If power to the crane is removed, the crane op-
erator should turn the transmitter unit OFF and
keep it OFF until power is restored.
If the crane fails to respond properly, the crane
operator should stop operation, turn the trans-
mitter unit OFF and immediately report the con-
dition to their supervisor.
Outdoor cranes, which are subject to movement
by wind, should be securely anchored when left
unattended. If the crane is equipped with bridge
brakes, the parking brake should be set immedi-
ately.
1-11. Boarding The Crane.
The crane should not be boarded without permis-
sion of the supervisor.
The crane operator should turn off the transmitter
and take it with them when boarding the crane.
If more than one person is boarding the crane,
one person should be made responsible for en-
suring all personnel are off the crane before the
system is returned to operation.
1-12. Crane Maintenance And Repair.
Qualified personnel must maintain a regularly,
i.e., such as monthly, scheduled crane inspection.
During this crane inspection the functionality
and safety of the crane remote control must also
be tested. The inspection shall include, but not
be limited to items listed in Section 2-11.
Condition of The Radio Controlled Crane.
Consult crane manufacturer, local and
governmental regulations for recommended
Telemotive SLTX Transmitter Instruction Manual—3/1/06
7
inspection intervals and proper inspection
procedures. Problems noted during this
inspection must be repaired before using the
crane or the remote control.
Minor repairs include routine maintenance and
repairs such as greasing, cleaning and control
troubleshooting. All other repairs should be con-
sidered major. If the repair crew consists of more
than one person, one person should be desig-
nated as the repair crew leader with the follow-
ing responsibilities. If the repair crew consists of
only one person, that person has the following
responsibilities:
For minor repairs, warning signs should be
placed on the floor beneath the crane or sus-
pended from the crane. For major repairs, the
floor area below the crane should be roped off.
When major repairs are to take place, all persons
operating other cranes on the same or adjacent
runways, must be notified prior to starting
repairs. Notification should include the nature of
the repair, safeguards provided, and movement
limitations while repairs are in progress.
When practical, radio controlled cranes which
cannot be moved during repairs must be pro-
tected against being bumped by other cranes on
the runway. Bumpers should be installed on the
exposed side or sides of the crane under repair.
They should be placed as far away as possible.
The location of these bumpers should be indi-
cated by red lights placed so that they are clearly
visible to other crane operators traveling on the
same runway. When it is not possible to use
bumpers, red lights must be placed so they are
clearly visible to other crane operators traveling
on the same runway to indicate the restricted
travel zone. All crane operators on the same
runway must be informed of the repair effort and
thoroughly instructed to what their operations are
limited to and informed they will be notified
when repairs are completed.
If any hazard involving the repairmen exists
when there is a runway adjacent to the crane un-
der repair, the adjacent runway should be
blocked off as described above. When it is nec-
essary to continue crane operation on the adja-
cent runways, warning lights must be installed
and be visible to operators of cranes on those
runways. All cranes should come to a complete
stop prior to entering the restricted area and
should proceed through this area only after re-
ceiving permission from a signal person desig-
nated for this purpose. Access of persons to and
from the crane being repaired should be under
control of the repair crew leader.
When boarding the crane, the transmitter should
be turned OFF and the transmitter should remain
with the repair crew leader. The leader should
board the crane first, open and lock out the main
switch, and then signal the other members of the
crew it is safe to board the crane.
If work on the crane is to be done in areas not
protected by standard handrails, the repair crew
should wear approved safety belts.
All tools and equipment should be moved onto
the crane by the use of hand lines. The tools and
equipment should be adequately secured to the
hand lines.
If it is necessary to have the crane control cir-
cuits energized, all power circuits for crane
movement must be opened prior to energizing
the control circuits.
All personnel and tools should be moved to a
safe spot before moving the crane during repairs.
Headroom is at a minimum in some crane cabs
and on some crane walkways. Caution should be
exercised when boarding or working on cranes.
Hard hats should be worn whenever possible.
When repairs are finished, all personnel, tools
and repair equipment should be removed before
energizing the crane circuits.
1-13. Using The Crane As A Work Platform.
When the crane is to be used as a stationary work
platform, follow all rules provided in Section 2-
9. Crane Maintenance and Repair. When it is
necessary for the crane to be moved from time to
time, the crane operator should board the crane
with the transmitter unit. The crane operator
should ensure all personnel working on the crane
are in a secure position before moving the crane
to the next workstation. It should also be the
crane operator’s responsibility to ensure the main
switch is open and locked down before work is
resumed.

CAUTION
Before operating the transmitter, familiarize yourself with all safety information in this manual
and any other local, state, or federal rules or regulations already in existence.
3-1. Power “ON-OFF” Switch (Turns transmitter and receiver ON and OFF).
With the key switch (optional) engaged, pressing the ON/OFF push-button switch (Part 15) starts
the transmitter, pushing it again starts the receiver; or toggling the ON/OFF toggle switch (Part
90) turns the transmitter and the receiver ON. If the transmitter is ON the BATT MONITOR light
is ON or flashing. Pushing the ON/OFF button again (Part 15), or resetting the toggle switch to
OFF (Part 90), will turn the transmitter and receiver OFF.
3-2. E-STOP (For Emergency Stopping only).
When depressed, the MCR relay is opened, the receiver shuts down, and power to the equipment
is immediately stopped. Under normal operating conditions, the E-STOP must be in the
raised position. The transmitter must be turned OFF and ON again to restore normal operation.
To be used for emergency stopping only, not for normal system shut down. The E-STOP will not
function with the optional key switch turned OFF.
3-3. Motion Push Buttons, Levers.
To activate motor functions, press and hold the push-button or lever that corresponds to the
desired motion. The extent to which the push-button or lever is pushed, dictates the speed of the
motor function.
3-4. Transmitter LED Indicator.
The transmitter LED (red) indicates the transmitter is on, or transmitting, or has a low battery
voltage. A slow flash rate indicates the unit is ON. A rapid flash rate indicates the unit is
transmitting (when a function or control is activated). If the battery goes below a safe level, the
LED will not light. Replace battery soon.
3-5. Time-Out-Timer.
Unless this function is disabled, the transmitter will turn itself OFF if not used for 15 minutes.
3-6. Key Switch. (For Part 15 Models not using active ESTOP, disables power to
transmitter circuitry only).
For models so equipped, turning the key OFF and removing it will disable the transmitter. If the
key switch is turned OFF with the transmitter and receiver on, the key switch must be turned ON
again to use the on/off pushbutton or E-STOP. Turning the key switch to ON enables power to
the transmitter unit, but does not activate the transmitter controls or turn ON the receiver. The
ON/OFF push button must be pushed to turn the transmitter and receiver ON or OFF. Under
normal procedures it is recommended that the unit be turned OFF with the ON/OFF push button
before turning OFF the key switch.

4-1. SLTX Transmitter Board Setup Information.
The SLTX Transmitter Board is shown in Figure 4-1. Refer to paragraphs 4-1 through 4-6 for servicing
procedures.
4-2. Access Codes Switches. (SW1 and SW2). Setting Access Code (for units with no external code
plug only).
For Part 90 systems the 12 bit access code is assigned starting with position A1 through A8 then B1
through B4. For 8 bit access codes switch B is not used.
The access code is set at the factory and should not be changed unless absolutely necessary. If a spare
transmitter unit is used, the receiver unit access code should be changed to match the access code of the
spare transmitter unit. For Part 15 systems the access codes are printed on a white label on the outside of
any transmitter and may be matched to “A” and “B” on the receiver CPU Board without having to open the
transmitter housing.
Switch SW2 (B) in the transmitter must match switch (B) on the receiver CPU Board and switch SW1 (A)
in the transmitter must match switch (A) on the receiver CPU Board.
If the codes do not match you will get an error light DS9 on the receiver CPU Board while transmitting.
If you are reprogramming a spare transmitter make sure the other transmitter is securely taken out of
service.

WARNING
TWO OPERATIONAL TRANSMITTERS WITH THE SAME ACCESS CODES OPERATING AT THE
SAME TIME IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
Telemotive receivers are shipped with the access code settings for the transmitter marked on the receiver
door.
Also a label on the transmitter lists the access code settings inside. The positions on the transmitter label
match the switch settings. The “1” by A1 means the switch position A1 should be ”ON” and “0” means A1
should be “OFF”.
WARNING
AFTER CHANGING THE ACCESS CODES ON THE TRANSMITTER, TEST THE UNIT BY
TURNING IT ON AND OFF NEAR THE APPROPRIATE RECEIVER. IF THE RECEIVER DOES NOT
RESPOND, DO NOT ACTIVATE A FUNCTION BUTTON! THE TRANSMITTER MAY HAVE THE
WRONG ACCESS CODE, WHICH COULD MOVE ANOTHER CRANE. RE-CHECK THE ACCESS
CODE IN THE TRANSMITTER AND RETEST. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.

SW3 position 8 disables the time-out-timer. Turning SW3-8 “ON” disables the time-out-timer.
2) Transmitter programming SW4.
a) Position 1-2 Mode Enable. (Standard Mode 1, keep 1-2 turned “OFF”).
Mode 1, SW4 1-2 all “OFF”. The 10K12 single speed system comes standard configured this way from the
factory with three motion controls and six auxiliaries (controlled by the toggle switches). The 10K12 2-

speed system comes standard configured this way from the factory with three 2-speed controls and three
auxiliaries (controlled by the toggle switches, the rotary is non-functional).
Mode 2, SW4 1 turned “OFF” and SW4 2 turned “ON”. The 10K12 2-speed system configured this way is
able to control four 2-speed motion controls and no auxiliaries. This gives you bridge, trolley, main and aux
hoist. The rotary selector switch functions are H1 main hoist, H2 aux hoist and B both main and aux hoist
(the toggle switches are non-functional).
Mode 3, SW4 1 and 2 turned “ON”. The 10K12 2-speed system will control up to 5 motors using the
rotary selector switch. This mode reconfigures two of the 10K12 auxiliary outputs (Aux 1 and Aux 2) to be
external motor select functions by the rotary switch. In this mode the auxiliary toggle switches Aux 1 and
Aux 2 are disabled. When the rotary switch is in the H1 or H2 position Aux 1 relay or Aux 2 relay will pull
in respectively whenever trolley or hoist pushbuttons are pressed. When the rotary switch is in B position
both Aux 1 and Aux 2 relays will pull in.
b) Position 3 Disable Tandem for Hoist and Trolley. (Normally keep turned “OFF”).
For cranes with auxiliary hoists and/or trolleys, turning this switch “ON” disables the transmitter selector
switch “B” position (BOTH function) that selects tandem operation of hoist or trolley.
c) Position 4 Invert Crane Select Aux. Outputs. (Normally keep turned “OFF”).
For cranes that use the select function only, turning this switch “ON” inverts the select function operation
so that the relay closes for the unselected function.
d) Positions 5-7 Extended Crane Control Configurations. (Standard all “OFF”, otherwise
see the appropriate receiver manual).
The 10K12/18 SLTX transmitter is available with extended crane control configurations. These options are
switch configurable on the transmitter. The eight-position dip switches SW3 and SW4 on the transmitter
can provide all configurations with a single transmitter CPU EPROM for the 2-speed transmitter. See your
receiver manual for available configurations and the switch programming needed to provide them.
e) Position 8 No Function (keep turned off).
