Radio Control System
1 Description
The eco L transmitter is designed to transmit command instructions for controlling small
and medium loading cranes, hoists and working machines in construction and industry.
Depending on the type and version selected, up to 6 control commands plus the
integrated STOP commands are available to the operator.
A non-interchangeable system address ensures the functional safety of the radio control
system when operating cranes or machines. This feature is particularly important when
several cranes or machines are in use, for example in halls and shops. The system
address is exclusively allocated to each HBC radio transmitter and its respective
receiver.
It is not possible to activate crane or machine functions using a radio control
system allocated to another crane or machine.
The radio control system consists of the eco L radio transmitter, two rechargeable NiCd
batteries, a battery charger and a receiver with external antenna.
The transmitter housing with integrated antenna is made of glass-fiber reinforced ABS
plastic.
The transmitter is powered by 2 rechargeable NiCd batteries. The batteries and memory
effect-free battery charger are included.
High-quality radio technology in compliance with the current European guidelines and
the relevant regulations regarding on-the-job safety and accident prevention as well as
the use of mature microprocessor-based technology guarantee optimal safety of
operation, high availability and a long service life.
In most European Union countries, the radio transmitter and accompanying receiver can
be operated free of charge – please observe the appropriate national regulations. To be
operated free of charge, the transmitter must be operated in the frequency ranges from
433,100 MHz to 434,750 MHz or 869 MHz to 870 MHz and with a transmitting power of,
typically, <5 to <10 mW. Operation in other frequency ranges and / or with a different
transmitting power is only allowed with the authorization of the responsible authorities.
Operating the radio transmitter using different frequency ranges or transmitting powers
requires the approval of the competent regulative authorities for telecommunication.
The following radio receivers may be used in conjunction with the eco L transmitter :
FSE 717
Note :
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user´s authority to operate the equipment.
