IntroductionThe Flex radio remote control systems are designed for control of industrial equipment and machinery such asoverhead traveling cranes, jib cranes, gantry cranes, tower cranes, electric hoists, winches, monorails,conveyor belts, mining equipment and other material handling equipment where wireless control is preferred.Each Flex system consists of a transmitter handset and receiver unit. Other standard-equipped accessoriesinclude transmitter waist belt, spare transmitter power key, clear vinyl pouch, “AA” alkaline batteries, compassdirection decal sheet and user’s manual.List of notable features include:*62 user-programmable channels – Advanced synthesized RF controls with 62 built-in channels;there are no more fixed channel and fragile quartz crystals to break.*Automatic channel scanning receiver – No more hassle of climbing up the crane to change receiverchannels.*Over one million unique ID codes (20bit) – Each and every Flex system has its own unique IDcodes and serial number; no repeats.*Advanced controls – The Flex system utilizes advanced microprocessor controls with 32bit CRC andHamming Code, which provide ultra fast, safe, precise, and error-free encoding and decoding.*Unique I-CHIP design – The I-CHIP functions in a way that is very similar to SIM cards used onmobile phones, with the ability to transfer system information and settings from one transmitter toanother without the hassle of resetting the spares.*Reliable push buttons – The in-house designed push buttons with gold-plated contacts are rated formore than one million press cycles.*Low power consumption – Requires only two “AA” Alkaline batteries for more than 150 hours ofoperating time between replacements.*Ultra-durable nylon and fiberglass composite enclosures – Highly resistant to breakage anddeformation even in the most abusive environments.*Full compliance – All systems are fully compliant with the FCC Part-15 Rules, European Directives(Safety, EMC, R&TTE, and Machinery), and Industry Canada Specifications (IC).
Flex 12EX System Instruction ManualJune 20094 of 402. Radio Controlled SafetyFlex radio remote control systems should be operated by persons with sufficient amount of knowledge andskill in crane operation and safety. Persons being trained to operate a radio remote controlled crane shouldpossess the knowledge of all hazards peculiar to radio remote controlled crane operation, ability to judgedistance and moving objects, equipment capacity and radio remote controlled safety rules. Radio remotecontrolled cranes should not be operated by any person with insufficient eyesight/hearing, anysevere/debilitating illness, or under influence of drugs and medications that may cause loss of cranecontrol.Below are some general operating safety tips that should be strictly followed when operating a radio remotecontrolled crane.1. Always check the transmitter handset for any damage that might inhibit proper crane operationprior to crane operation.2. Always check if the red emergency stop button is working properly prior to crane operation.3. Check the Status LED on the transmitter for any signs of low battery power (refer to page 37).4. Check the Status LED on the transmitter for any signs of irregularities (refer to page 37).5. The crane limit switches should be checked prior to crane operation or at the beginning of eachshift. When checking limit switches the hoist should be centered over an area free of personneland equipment.6. If the power to the crane is removed, the operator should turn off the transmitter powerimmediately until the power to the crane is restored.7. If the crane fails to respond properly to operator’s command the operator should stop operation,turn the transmitter power off, and then report the condition to their supervisor.8. The transmitter power should be turned off after each use. If the transmitter handset is not in usealways turn the power off and store it in a safe or designated location. Never leave thetransmitter handset unattended in the working area.9. Make sure the system is not set to the same channel as any other Flex systems in use within adistance of 300 meters (900 feet).10. Never operate a crane or equipment with two transmitter handsets at the same time unless theyare programmed with “Pitch & Catch” function. For information on the “Pitch & Catch” feature,please refer to page 25 and page 36 of this manual.

Channel Change via Push ButtonsOther than CHANNEL dip-switch on the encoder board, the transmitter channel can also bechanged directly on the push buttons. Please refer to the instruction below on how to change thetransmitter channel via push buttons.a. Press and hold PB1, PB2 and PB3 and rotate the power key to START position at the sametime. A series of green and red blinks will appear on the Status LED showing the currentchannel setting. A green blink represents the tens (+10) and a red blink represents the units(+1).Examples: 2 green blinks followed by 5 red blinks represents channel 25.6 red blinks represents channel 06.+b. Select a new channel by pressing PB1 and PB2 on the transmitter. Press PB1 to incrementthe units (+1) and PB2 to increment the tens (+10).Examples: Press PB2 two times and then PB1 four times will give you channel 24.Press PB1 nine times with give you channel 09.c. When finished, the newly selected channel will appear on the Status LED via a series ofgreen and red blinks again.d. Exit the channel programming by turning off the transmitter power.e. Make sure the receiver channel is set identical to the transmitter. Please refer to page 21 andpage 36 on how to change receiver channel.f. Please note that when the CHANNEL dip-switch inside the transmitter is changed, the prioritywill revert back to the new channel set on the CHANNEL dip-switch.g. Please note that when channel is set beyond channel 62 via PB1 and PB2 (i.e. channel 63,68, 88, etc…), the system will recognize it as channel 62.
Flex 12EX System Instruction ManualJune 200919 of 404. Program 4-Digit Security CodePrior to rotating the transmitter power key-switch to the START position to begin operation, youmust first enter a 4-digit security code in order to proceed further. When this 4-digit security code isinput correctly, a green light will appear on the Status LED. Please refer to the instruction below onhow to program the 4-digit security code.a. Press and hold PB1, PB2, PB3 and PB4 and rotate the power key to START position at thesame time. +b. A constant orange light will appear on the Status LED telling you that you are in the securitycode programming mode.c. For newly purchased system with the security code function deactivated (default setting),press PB1 four times (1111) to activate the security code function. At this time the Status LEDon the transmitter will blink orange slowly telling you that the 4 digits entered is correct. Thenselect your own 4-digit security code by pressing PB1, PB2, PB3 or PB4 on the transmitter(four presses randomly). At this time fast orange blinks are displayed on the Status LEDtelling you to reconfirm the 4-digit security code you have just entered. A green light willappear once you have re-entered the same 4-digit security code again (programmingcompleted). If a red light is shown on the Status LED after you have re-entered the securitycode (incorrect input), then you must reset the transmitter power and then repeat steps a, band c again.Steps: Press and hold PB1-PB4 and rotate power key to START position → constant orange→ press PB1 four times (for new systems) or 4-digit security code → slow orange blinks →enter the new 4-digit security code → fast orange blinks → re-enter the same 4-digit securitycode again → green light.d. If you wish to cancel the security code function, then repeat steps a, b, and c above andpress PB1 four times as your new security code (security code function disabled).e. If you do not remember the 4-digit security code, then you must contact your dealer ordistributor for further assistance.
Flex 12EX System Instruction ManualJune 200920 of 405. I-CHIPThe I-CHIP functions in a way that is very similar to a SIM card inside a mobile phone, whichstores system information such as your telephone number, account number, phone book andother settings. The I-CHIP works exactly the same way, as it stores information such as systemserial number/ID code, channel and push button configurations.When replacing a transmitter handset, just take the I-CHIP out of the old transmitter and install itinto the new one (refer to Fig. 11 below). For a complete information transfer, make sure both theChannel and Function dip-switch is set to all “1”. If both dip-switches are set to all “1”, then thetransmitter will operate according to the push button configurations and channel stored inside theI-CHIP. If both the Channel and Function dip-switch is set to other values other than all “1”, thenthe transmitter will operate according to the channel and push button configurations set on thesetwo dip-switches, not the ones stored inside the I-CHIP. Every time the settings on these two dip-switches are changed, the new settings will be stored into the I-CHIP automatically. In this casethe previous channel and push button configurations stored inside the I-CHIP will be erased andbe replaced by the new settings.For safety purposes, the system serial number/ID code stored inside the I-CHIP cannot bechanged directly on the transmitter encoder board. Only channels and push buttonconfigurations can be changed directly on the encoder board via Channel and Function dip-switches. There are only two ways that you can change a transmitter serial number/ID code: viathe I-CHIP programming port located on the decoder module inside the receiver unit, pleaserefer to page 29 on how to program the I-CHIP (serial number/ID code) via receiver unit; or viaan external I-CHIP programmer or duplicator unit available from the factory. Please ask yourlocal dealers for assistance if your system requires serial number/ID code adjustments.(Fig. 11)

For auxiliary applications such as a horn or a buzzer, please connect it tothe FUNC output relay (wire #6) located inside the receiver unit.e. Magnet ON/OFF Push Button FunctionThe user can set any of the two adjacent push buttons on the transmitter to control amagnet. To activate the magnet just press the push button with the Magnet symbol. Todeactivate the magnet, for safety purpose, you must first press and hold the Magnet pushbutton and then press the OFF push button. Pressing the OFF push button by itself can notdeactivate the magnet (refer to page 26 on how to set to this function).f. Brake FunctionWhen the transmitter push button is released from 2nd speed up to 1st speed, both 1st and 2ndspeed output relays will open for up to 1.0 second and then with 1st speed output relay closedthereafter (refer to page 26 on how to set to this function).g. Momentary ContactWhen push button is released the output relay corresponds to that push button will open(refer to page 27 on how to set to this function). This type of contact is usually applies toexternal application such as horns or buzzers.h. Toggled ContactWhen the push button is released the output relay corresponds to that push button willremain closed (maintained contact) until the next time the user presses the same pushbutton again (refer to page 27 on how to set to this function). This type of contact is usuallyapplied to external application such as lights.i. 3rd Speed Push Button FunctionThis function allows the crane to travel an additional step beyond 2nd speed. For example, ifthe operator is pressing the “UP” push button down to 2nd speed, pressing the 3rd speed pushbutton (with “UP” push button still hold at 2nd speed) will toggle between the 2nd speed and 3rdspeed (refer to page 27 on how to set to this function).

Auxiliary STOP Push Button FunctionThe auxiliary STOP function acts as a 2nd emergency stop button. Other than byemergency stop button and transmitter power key switch, the receiver MAIN is alsodeactivated when this auxiliary stop push button is pressed (refer to page 27 on how toset to this function).k. Pitch & Catch FunctionThis function allows two operators to control one crane from opposite ends of a cross orlong travel (refer to page 27 on how to set to this function). When set to “Pitch & Catch”make sure the 2nd transmitter is set to the next upper channel (channel X*+1). For example,if the system is preset at “Ch.01” then the channel of the 2nd transmitter should be set to“Ch.02”. Furthermore, the dip-switch position #7 and #8 on the receiving module should beset to “01”, this will allow the receiver to scan only Ch.01 and Ch.02 (please refer to theillustration below). On the other hand, since there are only 62 available channels on theFlex system, the system preset at channel 62 is ineffective because the 2nd transmitter cannot be set to Ch.63. If your system is preset at Ch.62 make sure to change it to anotherchannel.3.

Flex 12EX System Instruction ManualJune 200929 of 40COM 12346. I-CHIP Programming Port(Fig. 17)The I-CHIP programming port located on the decoder module (refer to Fig. 17 above) inside thereceiver is designed for the purpose of transferring system serial number/ID code either from I-CHIP to receiver or vice versa. If you wish to transfer system information from receiver to I-CHIP,just insert the I-CHIP onto the programming port (JP6 jumper not inserted), wait until the StatusLED on the decoder module turned constant green (within 2 seconds), and then take the I-CHIPout of the programming port (programming completed). At this time the I-CHIP should alsopossess the same serial number/ID code as the receiver. If the Status LED on the decodermodule displays a constant red light after inserting the I-CHIP (programming failed), then youmust reinsert the I-CHIP one more time. On the other hand, if you wish to transfer systeminformation from the I-CHIP to the receiver, then you must first insert JP6 jumper prior toinserting the I-CHIP, then wait for the green light to appear on the Status LED. At this time thereceiver should also possess the same system information as the I-CHIP. Please note that thereceiver unit must be powered in order to proceed with the programming.7.
