Flex 12EX System Instruction Manual June 2009 2 of 40 1. Introduction The Flex radio remote control systems are designed for control of industrial equipment and machinery such as overhead 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 accessories include transmitter waist belt, spare transmitter power key, clear vinyl pouch, “AA” alkaline batteries, compass direction 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 receiver channels. Over one million unique ID codes (20bit) – Each and every Flex system has its own unique ID codes and serial number; no repeats. Advanced controls – The Flex system utilizes advanced microprocessor controls with 32bit CRC and Hamming 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 on mobile phones, with the ability to transfer system information and settings from one transmitter to another without the hassle of resetting the spares. Reliable push buttons – The in-house designed push buttons with gold-plated contacts are rated for more than one million press cycles. Low power consumption – Requires only two “AA” Alkaline batteries for more than 150 hours of operating time between replacements. Ultra-durable nylon and fiberglass composite enclosures – Highly resistant to breakage and deformation 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 Manual June 2009 3 of 40 2. Radio Controlled Safety Flex radio remote control systems should be operated by persons with sufficient amount of knowledge and skill in crane operation and safety. Persons being trained to operate a radio remote controlled crane should possess the knowledge of all hazards peculiar to radio remote controlled crane operation, ability to judge distance and moving objects, equipment capacity and radio remote controlled safety rules. Radio remote controlled cranes should not be operated by any person with insufficient eyesight/hearing, any severe/debilitating illness, or under influence of drugs and medications that may cause loss of crane control. Below are some general operating safety tips that should be strictly followed when operating a radio remote controlled crane. 1. Always check the transmitter handset for any damage that might inhibit proper crane operation prior 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 each shift. When checking limit switches the hoist should be centered over an area free of personnel and equipment. 6. If the power to the crane is removed, the operator should turn off the transmitter power immediately 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 use always turn the power off and store it in a safe or designated location. Never leave the transmitter 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 a distance of 300 meters (900 feet). 10. Never operate a crane or equipment with two transmitter handsets at the same time unless they are programmed with “Pitch & Catch” function. For information on the “Pitch & Catch” feature, please refer to page 25 and page 36 of this manual. Flex 12EX System Instruction Manual June 2009 4 of 40 3. General System Information A.

Channel Change via Push Buttons Other than CHANNEL dip-switch on the encoder board, the transmitter channel can also be changed directly on the push buttons. Please refer to the instruction below on how to change the transmitter channel via push buttons. a. Press and hold PB1, PB2 and PB3 and rotate the power key to START position at the same time. A series of green and red blinks will appear on the Status LED showing the current channel 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 increment the 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 of green 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 and page 36 on how to change receiver channel. f. Please note that when the CHANNEL dip-switch inside the transmitter is changed, the priority will 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 Manual June 2009 18 of 40 4. Program 4-Digit Security Code Prior to rotating the transmitter power key-switch to the START position to begin operation, you must first enter a 4-digit security code in order to proceed further. When this 4-digit security code is input correctly, a green light will appear on the Status LED. Please refer to the instruction below on how 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 the same time. b. A constant orange light will appear on the Status LED telling you that you are in the security code 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 LED on the transmitter will blink orange slowly telling you that the 4 digits entered is correct. Then select 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 LED telling you to reconfirm the 4-digit security code you have just entered. A green light will appear once you have re-entered the same 4-digit security code again (programming completed). If a red light is shown on the Status LED after you have re-entered the security code (incorrect input), then you must reset the transmitter power and then repeat steps a, b and 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 security code again → green light. d. If you wish to cancel the security code function, then repeat steps a, b, and c above and press 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 or distributor for further assistance. Flex 12EX System Instruction Manual June 2009 19 of 40 5. I-CHIP The I-CHIP functions in a way that is very similar to a SIM card inside a mobile phone, which stores system information such as your telephone number, account number, phone book and other settings. The I-CHIP works exactly the same way, as it stores information such as system serial 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 it into the new one (refer to Fig. 11 below). For a complete information transfer, make sure both the Channel and Function dip-switch is set to all “1”. If both dip-switches are set to all “1”, then the transmitter will operate according to the push button configurations and channel stored inside the I-CHIP. If both the Channel and Function dip-switch is set to other values other than all “1”, then the transmitter will operate according to the channel and push button configurations set on these two dip-switches, not the ones stored inside the I-CHIP. Every time the settings on these two dipswitches are changed, the new settings will be stored into the I-CHIP automatically. In this case the previous channel and push button configurations stored inside the I-CHIP will be erased and be replaced by the new settings. For safety purposes, the system serial number/ID code stored inside the I-CHIP cannot be changed directly on the transmitter encoder board. Only channels and push button configurations can be changed directly on the encoder board via Channel and Function dipswitches. There are only two ways that you can change a transmitter serial number/ID code: via the I-CHIP programming port located on the decoder module inside the receiver unit, please refer to page 29 on how to program the I-CHIP (serial number/ID code) via receiver unit; or via an external I-CHIP programmer or duplicator unit available from the factory. Please ask your local dealers for assistance if your system requires serial number/ID code adjustments. (Fig. 11) Flex 12EX System Instruction Manual June 2009 20 of 40 B. RECEIVER UNIT 1. System Channel Settings EXT INT (Fig. 12) Even though the Flex system is equipped with an automatic channel scanning receiver, the user can also set the receiver channel manually. Please refer to page 36 on how the automatic channel scanning receiver works. Set the receiver channel by adjusting the channel dip-switch located on the receiver module (refer to Fig. 12 above), only the first six (6) positions are used for channel programming (refer to Fig. 13 below). The system channels table located on page 30 illustrates which dip-switch setting corresponds to which channel. Once the receiver channel is altered make sure to change the transmitter channel as well. The channel on both the transmitter and receiver must be identical in order for the system to work. To change the transmitter channel please refer to page 9.

R1 ↓ F2 R2 F1 R1 F2 R2 ON/OFF Push Button Function The user can set any of the two adjacent push buttons on the transmitter to behave like a mechanical ON & OFF rocker switch (refer to page 26 on how to set to this function). When “On” output relay is closed (“On” push button pressed), the “Off” output relay will open automatically, or vice versa. OFF ON Flex 12EX System Instruction Manual June 2009 23 of 40 d. START/AUX Function After initiating the START function the Start position will become an auxiliary function with momentary contact. For auxiliary applications such as a horn or a buzzer, please connect it to the FUNC output relay (wire #6) located inside the receiver unit. e. Magnet ON/OFF Push Button Function The user can set any of the two adjacent push buttons on the transmitter to control a magnet. To activate the magnet just press the push button with the Magnet symbol. To deactivate the magnet, for safety purpose, you must first press and hold the Magnet push button and then press the OFF push button. Pressing the OFF push button by itself can not deactivate the magnet (refer to page 26 on how to set to this function). OFF f. Brake Function When the transmitter push button is released from 2nd speed up to 1st speed, both 1st and 2nd speed output relays will open for up to 1.0 second and then with 1st speed output relay closed thereafter (refer to page 26 on how to set to this function). g. Momentary Contact When 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 to external application such as horns or buzzers. h. Toggled Contact When the push button is released the output relay corresponds to that push button will remain closed (maintained contact) until the next time the user presses the same push button again (refer to page 27 on how to set to this function). This type of contact is usually applied to external application such as lights. i. 3rd Speed Push Button Function This function allows the crane to travel an additional step beyond 2nd speed. For example, if the operator is pressing the “UP” push button down to 2nd speed, pressing the 3rd speed push button (with “UP” push button still hold at 2nd speed) will toggle between the 2nd speed and 3rd speed (refer to page 27 on how to set to this function). 3rd SPEED Flex 12EX System Instruction Manual June 2009 24 of 40 j. Auxiliary STOP Push Button Function The auxiliary STOP function acts as a 2nd emergency stop button. Other than by emergency stop button and transmitter power key switch, the receiver MAIN is also deactivated when this auxiliary stop push button is pressed (refer to page 27 on how to set to this function). Aux STOP k. Pitch & Catch Function This function allows two operators to control one crane from opposite ends of a cross or long 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 be set to “01”, this will allow the receiver to scan only Ch.01 and Ch.02 (please refer to the illustration below). On the other hand, since there are only 62 available channels on the Flex system, the system preset at channel 62 is ineffective because the 2nd transmitter can not be set to Ch.63. If your system is preset at Ch.62 make sure to change it to another channel. 3.

Flex 12EX System Instruction Manual June 2009 25 of 40 4. Dip-Switch Settings a. Interlocked Functions Interlocked means the two adjacent push buttons can not be activated simultaneously as they will cancel each other out. Interlocked settings are usually applied to a crane’s forward and reverse motions. Each dip-switch on the decoder module corresponds to one (1) motion or two (2) adjacent push buttons (refer to Fig. 14 & 15 below). Only the first seven (7) dip-switch positions are used (counting from left to right). The 8th dip-switch position (far right) is not used. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (Fig. 14) ▇ Manufacture preset Dip Settings 0000000 0000001 0000010 0000011 (Fig. 15) RELAY FUNCTIONS Function Descriptions # of Relays Used Normal (single speed only, F2 & R2 relays not used) Closed/Closed Relay Action at 2nd Speed (separate 2nd speed relay) Closed/Closed Relay Action at 2nd Speed (shared 2nd speed relay) Opened/Closed Relay Action at 2nd Speed (separate 2nd speed relay) 0000110 On (right button) & Off (left button) 0001000 On & Off affected by the e-stop command.

I-CHIP Programming Port (Fig. 17) The I-CHIP programming port located on the decoder module (refer to Fig. 17 above) inside the receiver is designed for the purpose of transferring system serial number/ID code either from ICHIP 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 Status LED on the decoder module turned constant green (within 2 seconds), and then take the I-CHIP out of the programming port (programming completed). At this time the I-CHIP should also possess the same serial number/ID code as the receiver. If the Status LED on the decoder module displays a constant red light after inserting the I-CHIP (programming failed), then you must reinsert the I-CHIP one more time. On the other hand, if you wish to transfer system information from the I-CHIP to the receiver, then you must first insert JP6 jumper prior to inserting the I-CHIP, then wait for the green light to appear on the Status LED. At this time the receiver should also possess the same system information as the I-CHIP. Please note that the receiver unit must be powered in order to proceed with the programming. 7.

Make sure the transmitter and receiver have identical serial number/ID codes and channels. 2. Make sure the receiver is not set to the same channel as any other systems in use in the surrounding area. 3. Make sure that the crane or equipment is working properly prior to installation. 4. Make sure the power source to the receiver is set correctly. 5. Switch off the main power source to the crane or equipment prior to installation. C. STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION (Fig. 19) 1. For best reception the location of the receiver should be visible to the operator at all time. 2. The location selected should not be exposed to high levels of electric noise. Mounting the receiver next to an unshielded variable frequency drive may cause minor interference. Always locate the receiver as far away from variable frequency drive as possible. Flex 12EX System Instruction Manual June 2009 32 of 40 3. Ensure the selected location has adequate space to accommodate the receiver (refer to Fig. 19 on page 32). If an external antenna is used, to avoid the possibility of antenna damage always locate the receiver where the antenna is free from any obstacles from all directions (refer to diagram at right). 4. When installing an external antenna you must connect the SMA jack located inside the receiver and make sure to set the jumper to “EXT” position (refer to diagram below). 432 mm Control Panel 5. For better reception, make sure the receiver is in an upright position. 6. Drill two holes (10mm in diameter) on the control panel or location where the receiver is to be installed (refer to Fig. 19 on page 32). 7. Make sure the two bolts are tightened after installation. 8. For system wiring please refer to page 31. D. SYSTEM TESTING 1. Turn on the power source to the receiver and test the MAIN relay output by pressing the red emergency stop button and observe that it properly opens and closes the mainline disconnect contactor. 2. Test the operation of each function to ensure it corresponds to the transmitter direction labels or the pendant it is replacing. 3. Test the limit switches (if any) to see if they are working properly. 4. If your new remote control is replacing an existing pendant, make sure it is completely disconnected and placed in a safe location to prevent unwanted control commands.
