18LIUDTH000_eng-00Radio Remote Control featuresAUTEC - Dynamic Plus series4 Radio Remote Control featuresDynamic Plus series' Radio Remote Controls are used to control Machines from a distance, without physical connection (by way of example: wires or connecting cables) between the Transmitting Unit handled by the User and the Receiving Unit installed on the Machine, hence between the User and the Machine.They consist of a portable Transmitting Unit, from which the User can remotely control a Machine, and a Receiving Unit installed on board the Machine itself.Images of the single Units belonging to the Radio Remote Control can be found in the specic manual that refers to each Unit.4.1 Description of radio linkThe Transmitting Unit communicates with the Receiving Unit through a radio link. Such link must be continuous to promote safety in the use of the Machine. Each time this link is incorrect or interrupted, the Receiving Unit stops the Radio Remote Control command and instructs the Machine to stop: the Machine stops only if the wiring between the Receiving Unit and the Machine itself is made in a correct manner.The two Units in a Radio Remote Control code their messages through an address that is unique (produced by Autec only once and non repeatable for other Radio Remote Controls) and univocal (specic for each Radio Remote Control and associated to it).Each Unit can only decode messages coming from the Unit with the same address.This prevents messages from other radio equipment from activating any "Machine+Radio Remote Control" system function.The radio link is interrupted in the following cases: -stop (see paragraph 4.2.2), -low battery, -automatic switch o, -no power supply in the Receiving Unit, -out of working range condition (see paragraph 4.3), -presence of metal obstructions.WARNING: The maximum working range may vary significantly and unpredictably when special conditions occur in the working environment (by way of example: temporary presence of electromagnetic interference and/or metal obstructions).When a radio link is interrupted: -all outputs in the Receiving Unit are disabled, -it is not possible to enable or disable the Machine commands through the Transmitting Unit until the Radio Remote Control is started up again.
AUTEC - Dynamic Plus seriesRadio Remote Control features 19LIUDTH000_eng-004.2 Control devices4.2.1 Start up and switch oStart up and switch o functions are described in chapter "General instructions for operation" included in "Part C" of the Instruction Manual. Therefore, please refer to that part of the Manual.4.2.2 StopThe stop is a safety function that brings the Machine to a safe state every time it is necessary to stop it due to a potentially hazardous situation.The stop function may activate: -Manually (active stop): the User activates the stop function pressing the red STOP pushbutton on the Transmitting Unit. -Automatically (passive stop): the Receiving Unit autonomously activates the stop function if the radio link is incorrect or interrupted.THE USER MUST AT ALL TIMES PAY FULL ATTENTION TO THE SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE MACHINE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS PROVIDED IN THIS MANUAL AND WITH THE MANUAL, INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS FOR THE MACHINE AND WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS, EVEN LOCAL.ACTIVATING THE STOP PUSHBUTTON OR RETURNING THE ACTUATORS TO THE REST POSITION MAY NOT RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE STOPPING OF THE MACHINE.THE STOP PUSHBUTTON MAY NOT ACTIVATE A BRAKE. FURTHERMORE, DIFFERENT MACHINES HAVE DIFFERENT RESPONSE TIMES AND STOPPING DISTANCES. WHILE THE STOP FEATURE IS HELPFUL, THE USER MUST BE FULLY AWARE OF THE MOVEMENTS AND OPERATING ZONES OF THE MACHINE AND MUST ALLOW FOR SUFFICIENT SAFE FUNCTIONING OF THE MACHINE, INCLUDING SUCH RESPONSE TIMES AND STOPPING DISTANCES.FAILURE TO DO SO CONTINUOUSLY AND CORRECTLY MAY RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
20LIUDTH000_eng-00Radio Remote Control featuresAUTEC - Dynamic Plus seriesThe stop function by means of Radio Remote Control is available only if the Radio Remote Control is started up (see "Starting up the Radio Remote Control" in the "Part C" of the Manual).Never leave the Transmitting Unit unguarded in order to avoid uncertainty about the availability or unavailability of the stop function.The “life time”, as dened in international standards and requirements, of the stop function is 20 years. In any case, the Radio Remote Control must be replaced within this period. The “life time” must not be considered as a warranty period.After the activation of the STOP on the Transmitting Unit, the Machine is not controlled by the Radio Remote Control any more. Any possible risks that may arise from the activation of the stop function must be taken into account by the Installer and the User of the Radio Remote Control, and by the Manufacturer and the Owner of the Machine where the Radio Remote Control is installed.
AUTEC - Dynamic Plus seriesRadio Remote Control features 21LIUDTH000_eng-004.2.3 Protection against unintended movements from the standstill position (UMFS)Unintended movements of the Machine, that is Machine movements that are not activated by movements of the actuators, may occur due to electrical or mechanical failure or malfunction that may aect the Radio Remote Control.The Autec Radio Remote Control includes a function that seeks to protect the Machine from such unintended movements by electronically checking the rest position of actuators in the Radio Remote Control. The rest position of the actuators on the Transmitting Unit is the neutral position. When the actuators are in such neutral position, no command from the Transmitting Unit directing a Machine movement is being sent.Each time one of the actuators is moved, the Transmitting Unit sends both the movement command and the “SAFETY” command through this function. This feature is designed to check whether the actuator is in fact out of the neutral position: if the Radio Remote Control detects that the actuator is in the neutral position, it ignores the command.UNINTENDED MOVEMENT MAY RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. FAILURE TO INSTALL AND WIRE THE SAFETY OUTPUTS ON THE RECEIVING UNIT CORRECTLY WILL CAUSE THIS FEATURE TO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY AND WILL INCREASE THE RISK AND OPPORTUNITY FOR UNINTENDED MOVEMENT.MOVEMENT OF THE MACHINE WILL OCCUR WHENEVER THE ACTUATOR IS MOVED FROM ITS NEUTRAL (CENTRAL REST) POSITION ON THE TRANSMITTING UNIT .

Therefore, please refer to that part of the Manual.6.1 ApplicationsAn Autec Dynamic Plus series' Radio Remote Control can be used for several applications: the Machine's Manufacturer must establish if the Radio Remote Control is suitable for each dierent application, with specic regard to safety. The Dynamic Plus series is used most frequently for the following type of Machines: -Machines for lifting and moving materials, objects, general loads (by way of example: hydraulic cranes, concrete pumps), -Machines for raising and moving people (by way of example: elevated work platforms, telehandlers), -Drilling Machines.The Autec Radio Remote Control may not be installed on Machines where it is used for applications or functions not permitted under this Manual and applicable Laws, Regulations and Standards, even local. INSTALLATION OF AN AUTEC RADIO REMOTE CONTROL ON OTHER MACHINE OR FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.Autec is not and cannot be held responsible if the Radio Remote Control is used in unsafe or poor safety conditions. Assessment shall be made by the Machine Manufacturer to establish possible additional protection measures for the actuators (by way of example: commands requiring two-hand operation, “dead-man” function) if particular environments, equipment and working modes could cause accidental bumps to the actuators.
AUTEC - Dynamic Plus seriesInstallation 25LIUDTH000_eng-00In addition to the above, Dynamic Plus series' Radio Remote Controls cannot be installed: -On Machines that are intended for the use in environments requiring explosion-proof features or in any usage situation that may pose the risk of explosion. -on Machines where the Receiving Unit power supply does not come from a battery or from a power supply unit with safety isolating transformer; -On Machines that control loads that are not isolated from alternating current (AC) power supply (if that is the case); -On Machines that create or can create dangerous situations if they stop due to the loss of radio link. -On Machines that do not allow a risk-free installation of a Radio Remote Control, due to their functions or features and/or to the risks related to their use. -On any kind of lifting accessory (by way of example: magnets, grippers, suction cups) whenever the loss of radio link or the deactivation of commands may cause the release of the load, resulting in the risk of damage to people and/or property. The Machine Manufacturer may allow the installation and use of the Radio Remote Control for such applications under their own responsibility. -If the applicable safety-related laws in the country where the Machine is used, regulations and standards (even local ones), even concerning safety in the workplace, do not allow the use of Radio Remote Controls to control the Machines.INSTALLATION OF AN AUTEC RADIO REMOTE CONTROL ON MACHINES AND IN THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SITUATIONS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

The antenna must not be placed inside closed metal containers. Install the antenna at least 50 cm far from metal objects in the surroundings, in a free area of the Machine; protections, panels, parts, surfaces or anything else should not be present, so that shields, structures or materials do not obstruct the radio link.NO YES
AUTEC - Dynamic Plus seriesInstallation 31LIUDTH000_eng-006.4.4 WiringWiring is understood as the electrical cable connections that can be found: -inside the Receiving Unit, -between the Receiving Unit and the Machine.ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE PERFORMED AND MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE AND ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS, EVEN LOCAL. IF INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY AUTEC ARE INCONSISTENT WITH SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS, REGULATIONS OR STANDARDS, DO NOT INSTALL THE AUTEC RADIO REMOTE CONTROL WITHOUT CONSULTATION WITH AUTEC. AUTEC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY MALFUNCTIONS OR ACCIDENTS THAT MAY OCCUR DUE TO ANY IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN ITS INSTRUCTIONS AND SUCH LAWS, REGULATIONS OR STANDARDS.FAILURE TO INSTALL THE AUTEC RADIO REMOTE CONTROL CORRECTLY MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.The power supply of the Receiving Unit must have a switch that allows power supply disconnection during installation, wiring and/or maintenance operations. Connect the Receiving Unit immediately downstream of the Machine main switch or of the electrical panel main switch (see the Installation Manual).The Receiving Unit's power supply must be protected against short circuit by means of an external device (by way of example: fuse, thermal magnetic circuit breaker). Such device must be able to interrupt the maximum fault current (including the short circuit current) allowed in the circuit.Make sure that the Receiving Unit's power supply is protected against short circuits and is supplied either by a battery or by a power supply unit with safety isolating transformer. Limits provided in the technical data must be observed (see chapter "Technical Data" in "Part D" of the Instruction Manual).Never connect power supply positive or negative pole to the outputs. Such connections damage the outputs and make ineective the UMFS and STOP safety functions. In this case the Machine may be in a dangerous condition, out of the User's control.
32LIUDTH000_eng-00InstallationAUTEC - Dynamic Plus seriesThe Installer must avoid that a power supply positive or negative pole is connected to the outputs.If a Receiving Unit's output is connected to a direct current inductive load (by way of example: solenoid valves, relays), it is advisable to connect a freewheeling diode in anti-parallel with the driven load, to reduce the eects of demagnetizing currents.A voltage of 12 or 24 V must always be applied to the power supply input of the solid state commands.Common wire related to diodes of solid state commands must be connected with the common of all the Machine's freewheeling diodes. If that is not possible, connect it to the Receiving Unit's power supply negative.Pay special attention to the currents owing in the STOP and SAFETY outputs: they shall not exceed the maximum permitted values (see chapter "Technical Data" in "Part D" of the Instruction Manual) .Wiring of STOP outputs is crucial to dene the safety level for the STOP function (see the Installation Manual).Wiring of SAFETY outputs is crucial to dene the safety level for the UMFS protection function (see the Installation Manual).The Installer is in any case responsible for carrying out wiring in such a way as to ensure the safety level required according to the risk analysis; in particular, the connection of power supply's positive or negative pole to the STOP outputs must be avoided.
AUTEC - Dynamic Plus seriesInstallation 33LIUDTH000_eng-006.4.5 At the end of installationMake sure that during installation the protection measures on the Radio Remote Control and/or in the Machine have not been made ineective by improper installation works.Look up in the Technical Data Sheet and check that the frequency band set in the Radio Remote Control is permitted in the country of use.6.4.6 TestingThe Installer must check and complete the Technical Data Sheet in all its parts, adding the date the system has been put into service, his stamp and signature.After installing and wiring the Receiving Unit, test the Machine controlled by the Radio Remote Control and verify that the operations carried out correspond exactly to the commands sent, including in particular but not limited to the functionality of the STOP command.Make sure that the SAFETY outputs (of UMFS function) only activate after the Radio Remote Control has started, and when a movement command is sent to the Machine.In case of malfunction, disable the system “Machine+Radio Remote Control” until the problem has been completely solved and the installation and functionality is conrmed to be correct..
34LIUDTH000_eng-00SafetyAUTEC - Dynamic Plus series7 Safety7.1 Risk assessment for radio remote controlled MachinesThe Manufacturer of the Machine on which the Autec Radio Remote Control is to be installed, and its design professionals shall make a full and proper risk assessment to determine whether the use and installation of the Autec Radio Remote Control is appropriate for the safe and eective operation of the Machine by a Radio Remote Control in the facility and for the purposes intended, and that the installation, maintenance and operation of the Autec Radio Remote Control and all of its components are done solely and completely in accordance with this Manual, and with all local applicable laws, safety rules and standards (all of the foregoing referred to herein as “Laws, Regulations and Standards”).When carrying out its risk assessment to determine whether the Radio Remote Control may be installed on a Machine, the Manufacturer and Installer must comply with all Laws, Regulations and Standards, even local, regarding risk assessment and safety of the Machine and/or the installation , as well as the following recommendations: -Some Machines may not be operated with a Radio Remote Control, such as set forth in paragraph 6.1). Consider any other conditions that may restrict, forbid or impose conditions on the use of a Radio Remote Control on the Machine, or that may aect its correct use or its safety. -The radio link between the two Units may be interrupted (see paragraph 4.1). -All warnings for installation, use and maintenance provided by Autec must be considered (see chapters 6, 8 and 9). -There is a delay between the release of a command in the Transmitting Unit and the deactivation of the corresponding output in the Receiving Unit (see paragraph 7.2). -There is a delay between the activation of a command in the Transmitting Unit and the activation of the corresponding output in the Receiving Unit (see paragraph 7.2). -Additional protection measures for the actuators may be necessary (see paragraph 7.3). -it is possible that a command be enabled or disabled due to electrical and/or mechanical failure (see paragraph 7.4).7.2 Delay in command response timeUnder normal conditions, the delay between the activation of a command in the Transmitting Unit and the activation of the corresponding output in the Receiving Unit requires the "Command response time" indicated in the Technical Data (see paragraph 4.3).Under poor radio link conditions (by way of example: interference, working range been reached) such delay may extend up to the "Passive stop time" indicated in the Technical Data (see paragraph 4.3).
AUTEC - Dynamic Plus seriesSafety 35LIUDTH000_eng-00Please consider that, due to the characteristics of radio propagation (by way of example: EM interference, out-of-working-range condition), a delay up to the "Passive stop time" indicated in the Technical Data (see paragraph 4.3) may occasionally occur from the moment a command in the Transmitting Unit is released to the moment its corresponding output in the Receiving Unit is deactivated. As for the SAFETY outputs only, the "UMFS cut-in time" (see technical data in "Part D" of the Instruction Manual) adds up to this time.The Manufacturer, the Installer, the Owner, the User and/or the Maintenance Technician, must make sure that these delays never lead to a dangerous situation in the specic uses.7.3 Inadvertent activation of commandsThe User shall operate with the Transmitting Unit in a correct manner, in accordance with the instructions for use and maintenance.If the Unit is used correctly, accidental contact with the User's body parts or with external bodies does not cause inadvertent activation of the actuators.Any action carried out on the Transmitting Unit, or on part of it, aiming at activating the actuators in a dierent way from the one indicated in the instructions for use constitutes an improper use of the Radio Remote Control.The User must use the Radio Remote Control in conformity with the instruction for use and maintenance and with all the Laws, the Regulations and the Standards, even local, in force in the country where the Radio Remote Control and the Machine are used; moreover, the User must always have the control of the Radio Remote Control and remain in the usage position, as described in the relevant specic part concerning the Transmitting Unit.The Machine Manufacturer and/or the Installer must assess and adopt possible additional protection measures for the actuators (by way of example: commands requiring two-hand operation, “dead-man” function) if particular environments, equipment and working modes could generate risk situations, and if Laws, Regulations and Standards in force in the country where the Radio Remote Control and the Machine are used should require it.
36LIUDTH000_eng-00SafetyAUTEC - Dynamic Plus series7.4 Activation and/or deactivation of commands due to failureIt is possible that a command be activated or deactivated due to electrical and/or mechanical failure, that may aect the Radio Remote Control and/or the Machine.The Machine Manufacturer and/or the Installer of the Radio Remote Control must carefully evaluate the possible consequences of such malfunction. If required by the risk assessment, implement protection measures to prevent, reduce and report potential hazardous situations.For further information, see paragraph 4.2.3.If a command is activated and/or deactivated due to electrical and/or mechanical failure: -press the STOP pushbutton to bring the Machine to a safe state, -disable the Radio Remote Control and stop using the system "Machine+Radio Remote Control" until the problem has been solved by implementing the necessary technical operations.

AUTEC - Dynamic Plus seriesMaintenance 43LIUDTH000_eng-00In case of malfunction, switch o the Transmitting Unit and disconnect power supply from the Receiving Unit: this way, the system "Machine+Radio Remote Control" is disabled; it cannot be used until the problem has been solved by implementing the necessary technical operations.After each maintenance operation, if a Unit has been opened, close it correctly, in order to maintain the protection degree from dust, contaminants and water: -make sure that the gasket is intact and correctly seated, -check that the housing parts correctly t so that they overlap, -tighten the screws.9.2 Routine maintenanceRoutine maintenance consists of operations needed to preserve the Radio Remote Control normal usage conditions, thus implementing ne-tuning, checks, planned replacement actions that necessarily arise from the normal use of the product.All given instructions must be followed correctly at each commissioning, that is: -whenever the Radio Remote Control and/or the Machine is installed or assembled, -whenever the Machine location/position changes, -after special maintenance.Routine maintenance carried out as described in this Manual is fundamental for using the Radio Remote Control safely.Special applications may require more specic routine maintenance actions to be carried out at dierent periods [by way of example: if the working environment is particularly dirty, or temperature is very high or very low (see limits provided in paragraph 8.3), or in case of heavy application, or if it is used very frequently, some maintenance actions may be required more frequently depending on the instructions provided by the Machine Manufacturer and/or by the Installer).When carrying out maintenance on the Machine, always disconnect power supply from the Receiving Unit. In the event of necessary maintenance on the Machine (by way of example: welding), disconnect all the electrical connections of the Receiving Unit.
44LIUDTH000_eng-00MaintenanceAUTEC - Dynamic Plus series9.2.1 Daily routine maintenanceBefore starting to work: -Make sure that the symbols on panel on the Transmitting Unit and on the Receiving Unit are clearly visible and replace the panel if necessary. -Make sure that the plates on the Transmitting Unit and on the Receiving Unit are readable and intact (refer to the specic part in the Manual concerning the Transmitting Unit and the Receiving Unit). -Make sure that the mechanical operation of the STOP pushbutton is correct. -Make sure that the Transmitting Unit and the Receiving Unit are whole in all their parts. -Check the Receiving Unit status and remove any material from it (dust, remnants, object, etc.): never use solvents or ammable/corrosive materials for cleaning, and do not use high-pressure water cleaners or steam cleaners. -Check that the wiring of the Receiving Unit is intact and connected.During normal operation: -Do not damage the Transmitting Unit (avoid falls, bumps, contact with water, uids or liquids, etc.). -Pay attention not to let materials (by way of example: concrete, sand, grease, dirt, lime, dust, etc.) deposit on the Transmitting Unit because they can compromise its use and safety.After using the Radio Remote Control: -Clean the Transmitting Unit: never use solvents or ammable/corrosive materials and do not use water jet cleaners, or air pressure or steam pressure cleaners. -Store the Transmitting Unit in clean and dry places.9.2.2 Three-month routine maintenanceAt least every three months: -Check the correct correspondence between the commands that are sent and the manoeuvres that are carried out by the Machine. -Make sure that the SAFETY outputs (of UMFS function) only activate after the Radio Remote Control has started, and when a movement command is sent to the Machine. This is safety critical maintenance: it is necessary to keep a record (date, signature, comments) showing that this check has been regularly carried out. Keep the record together with other installation documents. -Make sure that all the outputs in the Receiving Unit operate correctly, and check that each output activates when the corresponding operation is enabled and deactivates when the operation is disabled. -Start up the Radio Remote Control and check in the Receiving Unit that the STOP outputs activate. Then, press the STOP pushbutton and check in the Receiving Unit that the STOP outputs deactivate.Before testing the STOP outputs, make sure that no dangerous situations may arise due to the activation of the STOP outputs in the Receiving Unit.
AUTEC - Dynamic Plus seriesMaintenance 45LIUDTH000_eng-009.3 Special maintenanceSpecial maintenance consists of repairs needed due to Radio Remote Control failure, damage or malfunction, and their aim is to restore the original usage and working conditions.Special maintenance may be performed only by qualied Maintenance Technicians, that is to say, by skilled technical Personnel with specic competence and knowledge of Autec Radio Remote Control, belonging to the Autec's service network, or explicitly authorised by Autec.When performing special maintenance operations, the Instruction Manual for the use and maintenance of the Autec Radio Remote Control must be available and whole in all its parts.Only original Autec spare parts and materials provided by Autec shall be used for the replacement of parts and/or for special maintenance operations.When seeking assistance or parts from Autec or its authorized distributors or service centres, the following must be provided: -Radio Remote Control serial number, -purchase date (written on the certicate of guarantee), -description of the problem found, -address and telephone number of the place where the Radio Remote Control is being used (with the name of the Person to contact), -local Radio Remote Control supplier.
46LIUDTH000_eng-00MaintenanceAUTEC - Dynamic Plus series9.4 Additional maintenance operations in environments with corrosive agentsIf the Radio Remote Control is used in environments where corrosive agents are present (by way of example: sea water, salt fog, salt...), apply grease to the electrical connections to protect them.Only use electrically non-conductive, polyalphaolen and silicate-based grease for electrical contacts.Do not use polyether-, polyoilester- and polyphenyl ether-based grease.Macon Research's Electric Grease CN 4070 can be used.Check and replace grease as frequently as shown in the following table:Type of connection Grease check frequency Re-greasing frequencyConnector for external antenna every 4-6 months If dirt and impurities are foundReceiving Unit's plug every 4-6 months If dirt and impurities are foundConnectors for Transmitting Unit's and Receiving Unit's cable control h1 month If dirt and impurities are found, and once a year anywayContacts of Transmitting Unit, Battery Charger and battery weeklyIf dirt and impurities are found, and once every three months anywayKey ID 0-1 weeklyIf dirt and impurities are found, and once every three months anywayh. It is recommended to disconnect the cable control cable and to store it in a protected place when it is not in use.When carrying out this kind of maintenance operations, follow these recommendations: -make sure that the surface of electrical connections is covered with a layer of grease and add it if necessary, -contact the support service of the Machine's Manufacturer if evident oxidation is detected.
AUTEC - Dynamic Plus seriesMaintenance 47LIUDTH000_eng-009.5 Preventive replacement of actuators (joysticks, pushbuttons and selectors)As provided by the Manufacturer of each actuator in the corresponding technical specication, each actuator of the Transmitting Unit can be used for a dened “maximum number of operations”, as shown in the table below. The “maximum number of operations” must not be considered as a warranty period.Replace joysticks, pushbuttons and selectors on the Transmitting Unit before they reach the maximum number of operations, even though they are still working.This replacement prevents possible failure and dangerous situations (by way of example: inadvertent activation and/or deactivation of the command activated by the actuator).Actuator Max. operations Actuator Max. operations5x1065x1065x1061063x1066x1065x104106106
48LIUDTH000_eng-00TroubleshootingAUTEC - Dynamic Plus series10 TroubleshootingIf the Radio Remote Control does not work correctly, carry out the following preliminary checks: -Move all other Transmitting Units in the working area away from the Autec Transmitting Unit in use to avoid possible radio interference. -Bring the Autec Transmitting Unit closer to the matching Autec Receiving Unit to avoid possible radio interference, always positioning yourself in a safe place and with full view of the Machine, its operational area and the load, if any. -Determine if the problem lies with the Radio Remote Control or with the Machine: to that purpose, you need to try to control the Machine with another control station (if any),dierent from the Radio Remote Control. If the problem persists after this attempt, you need to x the Machine: follow the instructions provided by the Machine Manufacturer. Otherwise, the problem lies with the Autec Radio Remote Control, so you need to carry out further checks (see paragraph 10.3).10.1 Radio Remote Controls with "Data Feedback" functionIt is still possible that the Transmitting Unit sends commands to control the Machine even if the Data Feedback function does not work properly (refer to "Data Feedback function" in "Part C" of the Manual), or if there is no information and/or signals coming from it.When the display or the LED array does not work, please contact the support service of the Machine Manufacturer, even if none of the problems indicated in paragraph 10.3 has been detected.10.2 Radio Remote Controls with cable controlPossibly use the wire control to check if radio interference occurs.On the contrary, if you want to check that the wire control works properly: -connect the cable to the Transmitting Unit and to the Receiving Unit, -check that the movement carried out by the Machine correspond to the commands sent by the Transmitting Unit.10.3 Solutions in case of malfunctionLook up in “Part C” and/or in “Part D” of the Manual to identify the Radio Remote Control malfunction signalled by light signals on the Units.If the problem persists after attempting the suggested solution, contact the support service of the Machine Manufacturer.
