72 Safety instructions2.1 Symbols These symbols are used to warn against potential safety hazards or causes of damage or provide useful information.Hazard warningThis symbol appears in the operating instructions next to all instructions relating to safety at work wherever a potential danger to life and limb exists.Follow these instructions at all times and be particularly vigilant and cautious.Pass on safety instructions to all persons entrusted with working on the product including the power supply.In addition, observe all general safety regulations at all times.Warning against dangerous electrical voltageContact with live parts can result in immediate death. Protective covers (e.g. covers and enclosures) marked with this sign may only be opened by qualified electricians. Before opening, all relevant operating, control, feed or other voltages must be disconnected.Operating hazard for the installationThis symbol in the operating instructions indicates all warnings which, if not complied with, may result in damage to the product.The DRC-J joystick control system is intended to be used as an operating unit and transmitter station for the DRC-DR and DRC-MP radio receivers. The scope of functions is preferably designed for wireless control of crane installations, travelling hoist units, chain and rope hoists, transfer carriages and similar applications.The operator can position himself as required. He can control loads and move-ments from a safe distance. He must always select a location to ensure that all movements of the load and the crane can be monitored and any hazardous move-ment can be switched off within an appropriate time. Before starting a crane move-ment by actuating the operating element, the operator must determine which crane is being controlled. The display of the DRC-J joystick control unit shows the identi-fication/crane number of the controlled crane. The radio-controlled crane must be identified by means of the identification/crane number in a way clearly visible to the operator. If required, a signal must be actuated prior to a crane movement for acoustic control.2.2 Appropriate use
8DRC transmitters and receivers meet the requirements of the standards and regulations listed in the EC conformity declaration. The specified EC conformity declaration is an integral part of the relevant operating instructions.Transmitters and receivers of the DRC range can be operated without any registration or operating fee. The benefits that this provides for the user are also utilised by some other manufacturers of devices for communications and telemetry applications. The consequence of this is that the relevant approved frequency ranges may be used by many transmitters at the same time, depending on the time and location. The transmission method used by Demag is designed for the most robust and interference-resistant radio transmission between the transmitters and receivers of the DRC range. The state-of-the-art transmission method is provided with technical features (e.g. frequency hopping) which are intended to ensure a minimum of conflicts for radio operation together with other transmitter and receiver devices which use the same frequency range. Despite all of the technical precautions taken by Demag, it cannot be entirely ex-cluded that the transmission characteristics of other radio systems are impaired, in particular devices supplied by other manufacturers that use the same frequency range, or that the transmission characteristics of the system supplied by Demag are negatively affected. In such cases, interference or radio connection interrup-tions may occur, which disrupt the communication and function of a system sup-plied by Demag or other manufacturers. Such impairment or interference does not constitute a defect on the part of DRC transmitters and receivers. Demag will only accept liability for wilful or grossly negligent behaviour on its part.The number of transmitters that operate without any interference in a given area depends on the relevant radio solution design of all systems and the selectivity of each individual system. If this limit is exceeded continuously or for certain periods, additional technical measures may be necessary in order to ensure simultaneous and interference-free operation of the radio systems. Whether and to which extent such measures are required can only be determined by means of suitable measurements on site or when the system is put into operation. Demag is not responsible for such addi-tional technical measures.Radio remote control systems of the DRC range are exclusively intended for single-transmitter operation; i.e. there is always a clear assignment between a specific transmitter and the corresponding receiver.The DRC-J joystick control system may only be operated when in perfect working order by trained personnel in accordance with the relevant safety and accident prevention regulations. This also includes compliance with operating and mainte-nance conditions specified in the operating instructions.In Germany, the owner of a crane installation with radio control system is responsible for compliance with accident prevention regulations BGV D6. DRC-J joystick control units that are ready for operation must not be left unattended They must be protected against unauthorized use.For appropriate use, the information in the operating instructions for the receiver used (DRC-DR/DRC-MP) and the machine/crane installation to be controlled must be complied with in addition to the information contained in these operating instructions.Serious personal injury or damage to property may occur in the event of: unauthorized removal of covers, inappropriate use of the product/system, incorrect operation, insufficient maintenance, working on live parts.

The owner must instruct his personnel appropri-ately. If the safety instructions given are not observed in any way, personal injury or even death can result.Observe general statutory and other obligatory regulations relating to accident prevention and environmental protection and basic health and safety requirements in addition to those included in these operating instructions.Such requirements may also relate, for example, to the handling of hazardous materials or the provision/wearing of personal protection equipment.Comply with these regulations and general accident regulations relevant for the place at which the system is used and follow the instructions therein when working with the system.The system may still constitute a danger to life and limb if it is not installed, oper-ated, maintained or used appropriately by personnel which have not been trained or specially instructed.The safety instructions must, if required, be supplemented by the owner with in-structions and information (e.g. factory regulations) relating to organization of work, working procedures, operating personnel, etc. Supervising and reporting obliga-tions as well as special operating conditions must also be taken into consideration. Supervising and reporting obligations as well as special operating conditions must also be taken into consideration.Personnel assigned to working with the system must have read the operating in-structions and the safety instructions. All activities relating to the system which are not described in the operating instructions may only be carried out by specifically trained specialist personnel.The owner must ensure that personnel work in a safety and hazard-conscious manner in compliance with the operating instructions.The owner must ensure that the system is only operated when in proper working order and that all relevant safety requirements and regulations are complied with.
102.5 Safety instructions for installation and disas-semblyThe system must be taken out of service immediately if functional defects or irregularities are detected.In the event of a stoppage (e.g. if defects regarding safe and reliable operation are detected, in emergency situations, in the event of operating malfunctions, for main-tenance purposes, if damage is detected or after finishing work), the operator/ex-perienced technician must carry out all prescribed safety measures or observe that they are automatically carried out.Personal protective clothing must be worn as necessary or as required by regula-tions. Personnel must not wear loose clothing, jewellery including rings or long hair loose. Injury may occur, for example, by being caught or drawn into the mecha-nism.All safety and hazard warnings on the product, its access routes and mains con-nection switches must be preserved completely and in legible condition.Modifications, additions to and conversions of the product which might impair safety in any way must not be carried out without the approval of Demag.Safety devices must not be rendered inoperative.Only genuine Demag spare parts may be used. Observe prescribed deadlines or those specified in the operating instructions for routine checks/inspections. Installation and disassembly work may only be performed by experienced technicians. Installation and disassembly work must be co-ordinated by the person carrying out the work and the owner within the scope of their responsibility. The assembly zone must be made safe. The installation must be isolated in accordance with the relevant electrical regulations. Customer-specific regulations must be observed. Only appropriate, tested and calibrated tools may be used.In the case of disassembly, any waste material must be disposed of by the owner in an environmentally compatible way in compliance with the valid regulations.
112.6 Safety instructions when first putting the unit into service after completing installation The working area must be made safe. First check that the voltage and frequency specified on the type plates match the owner s mains power supply. In the course of putting the product into service, it may be necessary to render safety devices or features inoperative when carrying out adjustments or function checks. When putting the machine into service, it may be necessary to perform work in the danger zone, therefore, it must be ensured that only appropriately trained personnel are employed for this work.Before putting the crane into operation, the operating personnel must be satisfied that the radio control system is in safe and correct operating condition.In addition, the safety instructions and measures contained in the operating in-structions of the crane must be applied.The clear assignment between the DRC-J joystick control system to the radio receiver (DRC-DR/DRC-MP) on the crane is the precondition for safe wireless remote control of a crane. This unique assignment is created by the exchange of the address features between transmitter and receiver when a DRC-J joystick control system is put into operation. The operating personnel recognises which crane is controlled by means of the crane identification shown in the display of the joystick control unit. Before switching on/putting into operation of the crane/machine controlled by the radio control system with the DRC-J joystick control system, it must be ensured that nobody is endangered by operation of this crane.If the operator notices persons who may be exposed to a risk to health or personal safety by operation of the equipment, he must suspend operation immediately and may not resume operation again until the persons are outside the danger zone.STOP key functionActuation of the red STOP key activates the emergency-stop function in the radio receiver on the crane. The emergency-stop function stops any potentially danger-ous movement of the crane. For use of the emergency-stop function, in particu-lar the instructions contained in the operating instructions of the crane must be complied with. When the STOP key has been actuated, the radio system is in the !STOP" operating mode. No movement commands are transmitted. The STOP key latches when actuated. To quit the EMERGENCY stop function, first turn the STOP key to unlock it and then actuate the Start/Horn key. This may only be done after the operator has made sure that the hazardous situation which resulted in actuation of the STOP key has been eliminated.Warning device functionRadio-controlled cranes must be provided with a warning device (acoustic or optical). The crane operator can activate this warning device by means of the horn key to warn persons in the vicinity of the crane and/or load before starting the crane movements. The warning device must also be used if the crane operator intends to check the assignment between the joystick control unit and the crane receiver by means of a joystick control command. Range of the radio remote control systemThe crane operator may only use the range of the radio control system to the ex-tent that he can freely monitor the danger zone of the crane movements.The range of the hand-held radio transmitter is limited and can be additionally reduced by ambient conditions. The range may also be limited by utilization of the available frequency range by other radio transmitters. The quality of the radio signal is shown in the display of the joystick control unit. If poor connection quality is displayed, unintended interruptions of the controlled movements may occur.2.7 Safety instructions for operation
12Radio receiverDRC-DR Radio receiverDRC-MPJoystick control unitDRC J The Demag DRC-DR radio receiver is a pluggable PCB for installation in the electrical equipment cover of the DR hoist unit. The interface of this receiver component to the crane control system and power supply by the DR electrical equipment is the CAN safety bus. The DRC-DR radio receiver is exclusively suitable for operation with a DR hoist unit. The Demag DRC-MP radio receiver is a complete unit with its own enclosure and power supply from the control voltage network of the crane installation. Relay contacts for the individual control commands and the EMERGENCY stop circuit form the interface of this unit to the crane control system. An additional semiconductor output with pulse width modulation is provided for infinitely vari-able crane drives. The DRC-MP radio receiver is suitable for a wide range of applications.Demag radio receivers are provided for duplex operation and transmit information to the DRC-J joystick control system. This increases safety of the radio system. Status information of the crane control system and the receiver are shown in the display of the DRC-J joystick control unit.The so-called ISM band (433 MHz) is used for transmitting the radio signals between transmitter and receiver. Witin the ISM band 30 frequencies are used alternately in a defined sequence (so-called frequency hopping). A random-check generator detemines the sequence of the frequencies when radio transmission is started. In order to increase transmission reliability, the information is transmitted several times. This method in connection with frequency hopping provides for a very high immunity to interference.Frequency hopping is used for the first time with Demag DRC radio control system types D1-FH and D2. In the case of the D1 type, the frequency of the radio signal is not changed during a transmission cycle.A decisive advantage of the frequency hopping transmission is that existing in-formation contents are transmitted on several physical channels. This redundant radio transmission 1) provides for an exceptionally high insensitivity of radio transmission against other transmitters or electromagnetic interference.3 General descriptionDemag DRC radio control systems are designed for wireless control of hoist units and cranes. They are the interface for manually controlled crane installations. The applicable EC directives and standards are complied with for this application.Demag DRC radio control systems consist of a radio transmitter/operating unit and a radio receiver with interface to the crane control system.DRC-J joystick control systems in applications in connection with DRC-DR or DRC-MP radio receivers are the subject of these operating instructions.1) Certain information contents are transmitted on up to 5 different frequencies. Only if (theoretically) all frequencies used were occupied or disturbed by other radio systems, communication would be interrupted.3.1 Transmitter/receiver interface3.2 Transmission method

When a new joystick control unit is logged on, the crane identification shown on the joystick control unit must match the coding labels on the crane (see section 5.3).Correct assignment between the transmitter and the crane must be checked by actuating the horn before any crane motion is actuated. If the correct assignment is not checked, unintended crane movements may cause serious damage and injuries, even resulting in death. Log-on of a DRC-J joystick control unit to a DRC-MP or DRC-DR radio receiver establishes the assignment between the relevant joystick control unit, the control-led radio receiver and the crane that is unique world-wide. The transmitter and the receiver are provided with unique address features that are exchanged during the log-on process and ensure clear and unique assignment. During the log-on steps, the crane identification (see sections 5.3 and 6.2.2) is also transmitted from the receiver to the joystick control unit and is saved. DRC-J joystick control units show this crane identification/number so that the operating personnel can identify the controlled crane.Log-on is activated in Run mode or STOP mode.6.2.2 Logging-on the joy-stick control system42694344.eps

To navigate, use the following keys:Key Function Change to display of parameter 004 Change to display of parameter 002 Exit menuThis parameter makes it possible to determine the channel used by the radio control system and, therefore, the frequencies used. If a channel is selected, the radio control system uses it instead of searching for a free channel to establish a connection.The default setting set in the factory is 00, i.e. the radio control system is not locked to a channel. For transmitters with the radio transmission method of frequency hopping, utilization is only with setting 00.The current channel selection is shown in the display. To navigate, use the following keys:Key Function Change to display of parameter 005 Change to display of parameter 003 Exit parameter programming menuF1 Change to entry and selection modeAfter changing to entry and selection mode, the channel can be selected from possibilities 00 to 11:Selection Meaning 00 No lock, search for a free channel to establish a connection. For transmitters with the radio transmission method of frequency hopping, transmission is via all frequencies. 01 Locked to channel 1 (433.300 MHz and 434.300 MHz) 02 Locked to channel 2 (433.325 MHz und 434.325 MHz) 03 Locked to channel 3 (433.350 MHz und 434.350 MHz) 04 Locked to channel 4 (433.375 MHz und 434.375 MHz) 05 Locked to channel 5 (433.400 MHz und 434.400 MHz) 06 Locked to channel 6 (433.425 MHz und 434.425 MHz) 07 Locked to channel 7 (433.450 MHz und 434.450 MHz) 08 Locked to channel 8 (433.475 MHz und 434.475 MHz) 09 Locked to channel 9 (433.500 MHz und 434.500 MHz) 10 Locked to channel 10 (433.525 MHz und 434.525 MHz) 11 Locked to channel 11 (433.550 MHz und 434.550 MHz)To select and to navigate, use the following keys:Key Function Display the next possible value Display the previous possible value Exit parameter programming menuF2 Accept the displayed setting1.4 Displaying the software version of the joystick control system, Parameter code 0021.5 Displaying the hardware version of the joystick control system, Parameter code 0031.6 Display and entry of a fixed frequency channel, Parameter code 0041.6.1 Display mode1.6.2 Entry and selection mode
