4-1. Pre-Installation Considerations.
To ensure reliable and safe operation of the system,
the following items must be considered before
installing the receiver unit.
WARNING
THE RECEIVER UNIT OR RELAYS ARE NOT
RATED AS EXPLOSION PROOF. THE
RECEIVER UNIT MUST NOT BE INSTALLED
IN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS UNLESS
APPROPRIATE SECONDARY ENCLOSURE
MEASURES ARE TAKEN. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND DAMAGE
TO EQUIPMENT.
4-2.
Receiver Unit Mounting Location
Considerations.
Ensure the mounting location is as far as possible
from exposed trolley wires and sources of
electromagnetic or radiated noise
The receiver cabinet is approximately 8" (20 cm)
wide by 12" (30 cm) high. A depth of at least 13"
(35 cm) must be provided to allow the cabinet door
to open.
The mounting surface must be smooth and
continuous. Mounting the cabinet on uneven
surfaces could cause warpage or stress internal
components.
The receiver unit may be mounted in any position.
The greatest radio control range is obtained when
the receiver unit is mounted with the antenna at the
top.
If possible, avoid installing receiver unit to a
surface where high vibration or shock is present. If
this cannot be avoided, use appropriate shock
mounts.
4-3. Antenna Mounting Considerations.
It is best to mount the antenna so that it is visible to
the operator. Usually, this is accomplished by
mounting the antenna under the crane and pointed
down. You should always try and avoid power
sources, motors, drives, brakes, etc. If necessary
we offer an external antenna kit.
4-4. Line Input Considerations.
WARNING
THE UNIT MUST BE WIRED TO THE COR-
RECT VOLTAGE, AND BE CONNECTED TO
THE CORRECT TERMINAL AS REQUIRED BY
THE ACTUAL LINE VOLTAGE. FAILURE
FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND DAMAGE
TO EQUIPMENT.
The receiver unit has direct connect provisions for
operation from 115 VAC (nominal), 60 Hz power.
For applications where the line voltage is not
between 95-130 VAC or if 260 VAC or 440 VAC
power is used, a step up or step down transformer
must be used.
NOTE
THE RECEIVER UNIT SHOULD NOT BE CON-
NECTED TO LINES CONTAINING EXCESSIVE
POWER UP TRANSIENTS OR CONTINUOUS
COMMUTATOR NOISE. A LINE
CONDITIONER MAY BE NECESSARY IN
SOME INSTALLATIONS.
4-5. Wiring Considerations.
1. Read this manual before installation.
2. Please observe appropriate local and National
Electrical Codes when wiring electrical devices.
3. Do not connect or disconnect wiring, or
perform circuit checks while the power is turned
on.
4. The motor wiring should be in a separate
metal conduit from the power wiring, which should
also be in metal conduit.
5. Low voltage wires shall be wired with proper
low voltage class wiring procedures.
