9211 266 44.indd/151014    © Terex MHPS GmbH2 SafetyThe “Safety” chapter provides an overview of all important safety aspects for optimum protection of personnel as well as safe and trouble-free operation of DRC-10 hand-held transmitters.At the time of its development and manufacture, the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter was built according to generally accepted engineering standards and is considered to be safe to operate. The DRC-10 hand-held transmitter may still be a cause of danger if it is not used correctly or as intended by suitably trained personnel.Knowledge of the contents of the operating/assembly instructions is one of the requirements necessary to protect personnel from hazards and to avoid malfunctions and, therefore, to operate the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter safely and reliably.Any conversions, modifications or additions to the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter are prohibited unless approved in writing by Terex MH.The DRC-10 hand-held transmitter is intended to be used as a control unit and transmitter station for DRC-DR and DRC-MP radio receivers. The scope of func-tions is designed preferably 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 movements 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 movement can be switched off in good time. Before starting any crane movement by actuating the operating element, the operator must determine which crane is being controlled. The display of the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter shows the identification/crane number of the crane under control. 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.DRC 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/assembly instructions.DRC transmitters and receivers do not require any registration or operating fees, see section 4.2 “International postal approval”. The benefits that this provides for the user are also utilised by some other manufacturers of devices for communi-cations 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 Terex MH 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 (frequency hopping) which are designed 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 Terex MH, it cannot be entirely excluded 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 Terex MH are negatively affected.In such cases, interference or radio connection interruptions may occur, which disrupt the communication and function of a system supplied by Terex MH or other manufacturers. Such impairment or interference does not constitute a defect on the part of DRC transmitters and receivers. Terex MH accepts no liability for wilful or grossly negligent behaviour.2.1 General2.2 Intended use
10211 266 44.indd/151014    © Terex MHPS GmbHThe 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. Terex MH is not responsible for such additional technical measures.DRC D3 transmitters and receivers can be used for multiple transmitter operation as well as multiple receiver operation. Refer to the corresponding operating and assembly instructions for details.DRC-10 hand-held transmitters 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 the operating and maintenance conditions specified in the operating/assembly instructions.National occupational safety and health regulations must be observed and followed.DRC-10 hand-held transmitters that are ready for operation must not be left unattended. They must be protected against unauthorised use.For intended use, the information in the operating/assembly instructions for the radio 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/assembly instructions (see accompanying documents, page 3).Serious personal injury or damage to property may occur in the event of:•  unauthorised removal of covers,•  inappropriate use of the product/system,• incorrect operation,• insufficient maintenance,•  working on live parts.

17211 266 44.indd/151014    © Terex MHPS GmbH6  Design and functionDemag DRC radio control systems are designed for wireless control of hoist units and cranes. They are the man/machine interface for manually controlled crane installations. The relevant EU directives and standards are complied with for this application.A DRC D3 radio control system consists of one or more transmitters as well as at least one or more receivers.These operating/assembly instructions refer to DRC-10 hand-held transmitters in combination with the matching DRC-DR D3 or DRC-MP D3 radio receivers.•  The Demag DRC-DR radio receiver is a PCB that is designed to be installed in the electric equipment cover of a DR hoist unit. The interface of this transmitter component to the crane control system is the CAN safety bus and the power supply via the DR electric equipment. The DRC-DR radio receiver is only suit-able 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 variable-speed crane drives. The DRC-MP radio receiver can be used for a wide range of applications.Demag DRC-DR and DRC-MP radio receivers are equipped for bi-directional radio transmission and transmit information to the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter. This increases the safety and reliability of the radio system. Status information for the crane control system and the receiver is shown on the display of the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter.Frequencies in the so-called 2,4 Ghz ISM band are used for transmission of radio signals between transmitters and receivers. The new proprietary radio transmission method used for DRC D3 meets the most demanding requirements in terms of transmitter density and co-existence with other equipment that operates in the 2,4 GHz ISM band. The radio transmission method combines various transmission mechanisms: A frequency-hopping system ensures that radio transmission is robust and highly resistant to interference – an adaptive characteristic (LBT) combined with this enables interference with neighbouring radio applications to be effectively eliminated.6.1 Transmitter/receiver interface6.2 Transmission method
18211 266 44.indd/151014    © Terex MHPS GmbHDRC-10 hand-held transmitters are supplied with power by the rechargeable bat-tery pack included in the scope of delivery or by two AA (LR6) NiMh rechargeable batteries. The batteries must be charged in good time by means of the appropriate plug-in charger. The ambient temperature must be between +10° C and +45° C for the charging process.The battery capacity is shown on the display of the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter. The charging status of the battery corresponds to the dark surface of the battery icon.For a new battery, the full battery icon represents a useful operating period for the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter of approx. 5 days when it is switched on.If only a residual charge is displayed, connect the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter to the charger at the next opportunity. If the battery icon is empty, the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter must be connected to the charger immediately.The operating time that can be achieved by a DRC-10 hand-held transmitter with one battery charge depends on the operating mode of the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter, the ambient temperature and the age of the batteries. Approx. 5 days of operation can be achieved with one battery charge if the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter is continuously switched on.The following measures reduce power consumption:•  Change to Standby during breaks in operation (see section 8.3 on page 47).•  Switch the transmitter off (see section 8.3 on page 47).Further measures to reduce power consumption include switching off the back-ground illumination and the vibration alarm (see page 58).When this battery icon is displayed, immediately charge the integrated batteries using the plug-in charger included in the supply. If the batteries are not charged immediately, the battery icon will start to flash and the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter will switch off after a few seconds 1).Quick charging of the batteries with the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter is only possible at ambient temperatures from +10 °C to +45 °C. If the temperature is higher or lower than this range, the charging process is aborted and the system automatically switches over to trickle charging.6.3  Power supply for DRC-10 hand-held transmitters6.3.1  Display of available battery capacity6.3.2  Charging the batteriesCharging socketPlug-in charger 110-230 V 50/60 Hz42658244.eps 42660244.epsImportant:The rechargeable batteries integrated in the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter may only be charged with the original plug-in charger unit. The use of other charger units may result in permanent damage to the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter.1) A low battery capacity may also be indicated by the vibration alarm.LED
19211 266 44.indd/151014    © Terex MHPS GmbHThe charging process is monitored and controlled by the electronic charging system in the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter. Partly discharged batteries can also be charged.To charge the batteries, proceed as follows: – Plug the charger unit into a power socket. – Plug the connecting cable into the charger socket of the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter.The hand-held transmitter will be charged.The   icon will appear on the display.The green LED fl ashes at 2 Hz.The DRC-10 hand-held transmitter generates an acoustic signal.The DRC-10 hand-held transmitter changes to standby mode. The crane cannot be operated.The charging process comprises quick charging and trickle charging modes. Quick charging:  This process takes approx. 2 hours if the battery is empty, it charges the battery to approx. 100%.Trickle charging:  At the end of the quick-charging phase, the system switches over to trickle charging mode with a lower charging current. The DRC-10 hand-held transmitter can remain connected to the charger for any period of time. This also indicated by an acoustic signal.Icon when the charging process has been completed. The green LED is continuously on.Icon for battery errors.Icon to show there is no battery fitted.This icon appears if a battery problem occurs, e.g.:•  batteries are defective,•  batteries are too old,•  attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.Defective batteries must be replaced by new ones (see section 6.3.3)Important:  To ensure sufficient charging of empty batteries, the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter must be connected to the charger for at least 2 hours.
