1 Introduction
The Flex Duo™ radio remote control systems are designed for control of industrial equipment and machinery such
as electric hoists, winches, monorails, conveyor belts, mining equipment, hydraulic valves controlled by electric
solenoids, and all other material handling equipment where wireless control is preferred.
Each Flex Duo system consists of a transmitter handset and a receiver unit. Other standard-equipped accessories
include transmitter lanyard, vinyl pouch, pushbutton labels, output cable, and quick start guide.
This manual covers both FCC/IC and CE versions of the Flex Duo. All settings and functions listed within
this manual are the same between the two versions except where noted inside specific sections where the
two versions perform differently.
