Frequency Management
Fixed Frequency
If the identification plate in the battery compartment of the transmitter shows a frequency value (e.g.
433,500 MHz), the transmitter operates with a fixed frequency.
Please contact you service department if the frequency has to be changed because the radio channel is
already assigned to another user.
Frequency Selection via Scanner
Transmitter and receiver are equipped with four frequencies (refer to wiring diagrams).
If the radio channel is occupied, you can switch to another radio channel by using the rotary switch on
the transmitter. The scanner in the receiver automatically resets the transmitter to the new frequency
selected within one second.
Manual Frequency Switching
If the identification plate in the battery compartment of the transmitter shows the label
man
, the
transmitter features manual frequency switching.
This function can be used to change the radio channel during radio operation.
Actuate the start button into the first step until an acoustic signal sounds. Then release the button.
Please contact your service department if all available frequencies are occupied.

AFS
If the identification plate in the battery compartment of the transmitter shows the label
AFS
, the
transmitter is equipped with radiomatic
®
AFS (Automatic Frequency Selection).
When activating the transmitter radiomatic
®
AFS will check if the present radio channel is free. If the
radio channel is occupied, the system automatically finds and saves a free radio channel.
If the radio channel currently in use is occupied by another radio control system, you must switch the
transmitter off and on again in order to allow radiomatic
®
AFS to switch to a free radio channel.
The radiomatic
®
AFS option also includes the manual frequency switching function.
Note:
If radiomatic
®
AFS is to perform optimally, all the other radio systems in the immediate working
environment (e.g. the factory hall or building site) should be switched on before starting to use the
radio system for the first time. This allows radiomatic
®
AFS to detect automatically which radio
channels are already being used in the working area, and thereby to choose a suitable free
channel for its own use.
In addition, when switching the radio system on for the first time, the user should make sure that
his distance from the radio receiver and from the machine is a realistic reflection of the working
situation.

AFM
If the identification plate in the battery compartment of the transmitter shows the label
AFM
the
transmitter is equipped with radiomatic
®
AFM (Automatic Frequency Management).
radiomatic
®
AFM detects available radio channels constantly. If the radio channel currently in use is
occupied by another radio control system, radiomatic
®
AFM switches automatically to a free radio
channel.
