7.1.1 General Operating Procedure
a.
Reset the red emergency stop button located on the top left hand side of the transmitter
handset by rotating it either clockwise or counter clockwise. The red button will pop up.
b.
Turn on the transmitter power by inserting the black-colored key into the power key slot
located on the top right hand side of the transmitter handset and rotate it clockwise to “On”
position.
c.
After turning on the transmitter power, check the Status LED on the transmitter handset for any
sign of system irregularities (refer to “Status Light Indicators & Warnings” on page 33). If the
system is normal the Status LED will light up green for two (2) seconds.
d.
If there are no signs of any system irregularities, then rotate the power key further clockwise
to “Start” position for up to 2 seconds. This will activate the receiver MAIN (depends on JP3
setting on page 23). Thereafter, the same “Start” position will become an auxiliary function
outputted via K26 FUNCTION output relay (wire #5).
e.
Now press any push button on the transmitter handset to operate the crane or equipment.
During transmitter inactivity (push buttons not pressed), the transmitter will automatically
switch to standby mode, with an orange blink on the Status LED every 4-second interval.
