OPERATION AND WORK AREA SAFETY
The work area must be free from obstacles, debris or
other tripping hazards. Avoid uneven work areas and
any rough terrain. Always be sure of your footing.
Be aware of overhead obstacles that may interfere with
crane/machine operation.
PROTECTIVE FEATURES
This radio remote control system is equipped with
electronic and mechanical safety features. Processing
control signals transmitted from other transmitters is
not possible, since transmission coding is unique to
each system.
These safety features help protect the operator, as well
as others within the work area. The crane/machine
functions can be stopped by pushing the emergency
stop button on the transmitter control panel
(EMERGENCY STOP).
NOTE:
The receiver goes into E-stop immediately
after the E-stop button on the transmitter is activated.
TO STOP IN AN EMERGENCY
1. Press the red "EMERGENCY STOP" pushbutton.
2. Wait for all moving crane/machine parts to stop.
3. Refer to crane/machine’s operator manual for
further instructions.
MAINTENANCE
Always shut off power to the crane/machine and the
radio remote control system before any assembly,
maintenance or repair.
IMPORTANT:
AVOID SYSTEM DAMAGE - ALWAYS
disconnect receiver power supply and control wiring
before welding on any part of the crane/machine.
RECEIVER LOCATION
Select a position for the receiver that is easily
accessible and provides protection from violent impact
from debris or thrown materials. The receiver housing
is rated IP65 and can withstand direct water jet spray
and is protected against penetration of dust. All
receivers must be free from metal obstructions on at
least 3 sides with the antenna pointing straight up.
•
Receiver must be protected from corrosive gases
or liquids
•
Receiver must be protected from ambient
temperatures outside the range of -18
º
to 158

Receiver Production Number
Locate the Hetronic Production number decal on the
receiver housing. This number is required when
Hetronic is called for any service or parts information.
Be sure the decal is easily accessible when the
receiver is mounted to the equipment. Please make a
note of the Production and System numbers in the
boxes provided in the Introduction Section of this
manual.
MOUNTING THE RECEIVER
1. Determine the receiver position.
2. If the receiver is to be mounted inside a control
panel or other enclosure, an external antenna
with antenna extension is required.
3. Be sure there is clearance for connectors and
components that need to be wired.
4. Drill holes into the mounting surface according to
the dimensions shown.
5. Insert the mounting screws through the holes in
the receiver housing and tighten into the
mounting surface.
6. Please refer to the appropriate illustration for
mounting dimensions. Contact Hetronic for more
information or if you have questions.
7. Lay out the wire runs. Use #16 AWG (size 1.5
mm
2
metric) minimum for power wiring.
8. The area around the receiver should be free of
obstructions, especially metal.
WARNING:
Accidental start-up can cause
serious injury or death. NEVER remove or
modify any safety feature.
