5. - USING THE RADIO
To ensure correct use of the equipment, follow the instructions below:
Make sure the transmitter you are going to use is the right one, identifying the
machine on the identification label.
Attach the belt to the transmitter unit. Its use is recommended to prevent the
equipment from falling.
Insert a charged battery, turn the contact key and activate the transmitter.
To activate the system, you must first pull out the STOP button, the LED
should then give an orange-green pulse; then press the START button. If you
find that the STOP button has already been pulled out, it is necessary to push
it in and then pull it out again, as this sequence will allow the check in of the
STOP circuit. If the unit has experienced a time-out auto-disconnection, it is
not necessary to repeat the STOP button procedure, simply push the START
button for 1 second.
The green LED should light up, indicating that the transmitter has started
transmitting. From now on, if any of the transmitter’s command buttons are
pressed, the corresponding motion will be activated.
To be able to start up the transmitter, all the command controls associated with
active motion must be in the neutral position (not activated). This is not
the case for the selection functions.
When 4 minutes have passed and no active motion command has been
activated, the transmitter automatically goes to STAND BY mode, indicated by
green pulses each 3 seconds. To start it up once more, press the start button.
The transmitter is equipped with a circuit for monitoring the battery level. When
this level drops below a pre-established limit, the transmitter LED starts to
flash in red; 5 minutes later the transmitter switches off, and the machine’s
main contactor is deactivated. During this time, the load has to be located on a
safe position. If the STOP button is activated during this time, transmitter will
not start again, unless battery is replaced.
To switch off the transmitter, press the STOP button or turn off the contact key.
Remember that you are going to remote control a moving piece of
machinery. The safety instructions described in chapter 2 of this
manual must be strictly adhered to.
