RADIO REMOTE CONTROL DESCRIPTION

Industrial radio remote controls are used to
command machines from a distance. Each in-
dustrial radio remote control is made up of a
portable transmitting unit, from which the user
can remotely control the machine, and a recei-
ving unit installed on board the machine itself.
The transmitting unit sends a coded message
over radio frequency transmission. This mes-
sage contains a value called address, which lets
the receiving unit decode only the messages
coming from its own transmitting unit (the one
that has the same address).
This ensures that no interference can activate
any command. If the radio frequency transmis-
sion is disturbed, incorrect or interrupted, the
receiving unit autonomously stops the whole
system.

WARNINGS REGARDING INSTALLATION

General
indications Respect the machine operational characteristics when connecting the Radio remote
control. The safety circuits on the radio remote control and/or present on the
machine should not be bypassed (or excluded).
The receiving unit wiring can be configured very easily, therefore it can be installed
without having to modify the machine. Do not modify the machine electric panel
without the machine manufacturer authorisation.
Installation
The receiving unit must be placed in a position that favours reception of the
signals issued by the transmitting unit. It should therefore be assembled verti-
cally (antenna upwards). The receiving unit should also be easily accessible to permit
working in safe conditions.
If the receiving unit is covered by metal structures or installed inside metal panels,
use the relative extension kit for external antennas.
The antenna must never come into contact with metal parts.
It is forbidden to pierce the receiving unit container. Doing so compromises
the protection degree against external agents (level IP65).
The vehicle creates vibrations, therefore antivibration blocks must always be used to
reduce the effect that these vibrations have on the receiving unit.
The receiving unit must be positioned away from heat sources (exhaust pipes, alter-
nators, etc.)
Wiring
Most machines are connected to the receiving unit by multiple-pole plugs which let
the radio remote control be disconnected quickly whenever necessary and replaced
by a cable command. This connecting technique is advisable even if the machine is
not originally equipped for it.
Installation must only be carried out by qualified people and in ac-
cordance with installation country rules. Only a correct installation
can ensure the necessary level of safety during subsequent radio re-
mote control use.
Disconnect the receiving unit by detaching all the electrical connec-
tions each time the machine is welded.
