4.2.2.10 Pitch & Catch Function (EX System only)
This function allows two operators to control one crane from opposite ends of a
cross or long travel (
see Section 4.2.4 on page 39
on how to set to this function).
When set to “Pitch & Catch,” make sure the 2nd transmitter is set to the next-highest
channel (channel X*+1). For example, if the system is preset at Ch. 01 then the
channel of the 2nd transmitter should be set to Ch. 02. Furthermore, dipswitch
positions #7 and #8 on the receiving module should be set to “10”. This will allow the
receiver to scan only Ch. 01 and Ch. 02. On the other hand, since there are only 62
available channels on the Flex system, the system preset at channel 62 is ineffective
because the 2nd transmitter cannot be set to Ch. 63. If your system is preset at Ch.
62, be sure to change it to another channel.

Receiver Auto-Scanning Settings
Receiver Channel Dipswitch
Example:
If the first 6 dipswitch positions on the receiving module are set to Ch. 01
(“000000” or “000001”), when set to 2-channel scanning (type 3 above), then the
receiver will only scan Ch. 01 and Ch. 02.
