If the DISPLAY pushbutton is pressed again, it switches back to Manual mode.It is not possible to scroll the lines if icons only are displayed.The display lighting stays on for a time set by the Machine Manufacturer.No function other than the above mentioned functions must be given to the display pushbutton when the Unit is installed.AUTEC - AIR SERIESGeneral operating instructions 25LIULK6N03_eng-00
8.6 Enabling switchA three-position actuator, called "Enabling switch", can be present on the left side of the Transmitting Unit.The "Enabling switch" is an actuator that needs to be activated at the same time as other actuators in order to consent to send the corresponding commands to the Machine. The Manufacturer and/ or the Installer decide which actuators need to have the "Enabling switch" activated to send commands to the Machine.AAAEnabling switchThese are the three possible positions for the "Enabling switch":1. not pressed (OFF),2. half pressed (ON),3. completely pressed (OFF).The "Enabling switch" is only activated when it is in position "2".When you release the "Enabling switch" from position "3", you will skip position "2" and go directly to position "1".NEVER USE TAPE, ELASTIC BANDS OR OTHER OBJECTS TO INTERFERE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE "ENABLING SWITCH". DOING SO COULD DAMAGE THE UNIT, PREVENTS THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE UNIT AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.The "Enabling switch" can only be associated to the enabling function to activate other commands, and cannot be connected to any other start up or movement function of the Machine.26LIULK6N03_eng-00General operating instructionsAUTEC - AIR SERIES
8.7 BatteryThe Air series' Transmitting Units can only be powered by Autec rechargeable batteries.For any warnings and instructions regarding the battery, see "Part E" in the Instruction Manual.8.7.1 Battery insertionPush the battery towards the contacts on the Transmitting Unit (1) and insert it inside the housing (2).12The battery slides easily into place and ensures that the positive (+) and negative (-) poles are correctly connected only if it is inserted with the plate facing its housing, so that the battery's contacts match the Transmitting Unit's contacts.8.7.2 Battery removalPush the battery towards the contacts on the Transmitting Unit (3) and remove it from the housing (4).34When the Transmitting Unit is not in use, remove the battery if possible.8.7.3 Indication of the battery charge level in the LK NEO 6 DF Transmitting Unit (Model LKN Type DA1DM)See paragraph 7.2.2 to check the battery charge level in the LK NEO 6 DF Transmitting Unit.AUTEC - AIR SERIESGeneral operating instructions 27LIULK6N03_eng-00
8.7.4 Indication of the battery charge level in the LK NEO 6 and LK NEO 8 Transmitting Unit (Model LKN Type LA1CM)Perform the following procedure to check the charge level of the battery in the LK NEO 6 and LK NEO 8 Transmitting Units:1. switch o the Transmitting Unit and unlock the STOP pushbutton,2. activate command S1 (check in the Technical Data Sheet which actuator it corresponds to) and press the START pushbutton until LED 1, LED 2 and LED 3 (indicating battery level) illuminate: -1 LED on: low level -2 LEDs on: medium level. -3 LEDs on: maximum level.The charge level indication disappears after some seconds.Commands associated to the actuators that are activated during the procedure to check the battery charge level are not sent to the Machine.8.8 ID internal tx memoryThe "ID internal tx memory" is a key containing the address that is used to code messages exchanged between the Transmitting Unit and the Receiving Unit.This key, if present, is inside the Transmitting Unit.LK NEO 6 and LK NEO 8 (Model LKN Type LA1CM)S/N:XXXXXXXS/N:XXXXXXXS/N:XXXXXXXALK NEO 6 DF (Model LKN Type DA1DM)S/N:XXXXXXXS/N:XXXXXXXS/N:XXXXXXXAAID internal tx memoryAID internal tx memoryWhen the Transmitting Unit does not have the"Key ID 0-1" (see paragraph 8.1.2), the Technical Data Sheet shows if an "ID internal tx memory" is present (DIP switch 2 is set in the ON position).28LIULK6N03_eng-00General operating instructionsAUTEC - AIR SERIES
8.9 Zero-G sensorThe Transmitting Unit is equipped with a Zero-G sensor only upon request of the Machine Manufacturer and/or of the Installer, who are responsible for the decision on the conditions for the Zero-G sensor to activate.The Zero-G sensor can activate for one or more of the following causes: -Impact: the Zero-G sensor activates when the Transmitting Unit impacts with at least a 30-centimetre movement and with an acceleration higher than 2g. -Fall: the Zero-G sensor activates when the Transmitting Unit falls from higher than 1 meter. -Tilt: the Zero-G sensor activates when the Transmitting Unit is tilted for more than one second by a dened angle with respect to the ground. The value of the tilting angle is set by Autec, but it is decided by the Machine Manufacturer and/or by the Installer (possible options: 45°/60°/90°).The Zero-G sensor may also activate if the Transmitting Unit is thrown or is rolling. In this case the Zero-G sensor activates due to the rst detected event among the above-mentioned ones (impact, fall, tilt).Autec sets the system so that when the Zero-G sensor activates, one of the following behavior occur: -the Transmitting Unit switches o, -all the Radio Remote Control's commands are deactivated, except one particular Machine function, which is activated at the same time (e.g. horn).The Machine Manufacturer and/or the Installer have the responsibility to decide the behaviour of the Zero-G sensor. Before using the Machine, the User must be aware of the expected behaviour and make sure that it works correctly.8.10 Vibration alarmThe LK NEO 6 DF Transmitting Unit (Model LKN Type DA1DM) can be equipped with the "Vibration alarm".The "Vibration alarm" activates the Transmitting Unit's vibration if specic signals coming from the Machine are shown on the display.The Transmitting Unit's vibration aims at drawing the User's attention to the corresponding signal shown on the display.The Transmitting Unit can be equipped with the "Vibration alarm" upon request of the Machine Manufacturer and/or the Installer.The Machine Manufacturer and/or the Installer decide which signals shown in the display must cause the vibration of the Transmitting Unit.AUTEC - AIR SERIESGeneral operating instructions 29LIULK6N03_eng-00
8.11 Starting up the Radio Remote ControlStarting up the Radio Remote Control consists in establishing a radio link between the Transmitting Unit and the Receiving Unit.The Radio Remote Control start up is protected by means of a power keyswitch and/or a PIN code to prevent unauthorised use of the Machine.To start up the Radio Remote Control, you need to insert the power keyswitch and\or to key in the PIN code according to the procedure provided in paragraph 8.11.1,8.11.2 or 8.11.3.The PIN code is not a sequence of numbers, but it consists in the sequential activation of actuators.Commands associated to the actuators that are activated while inserting the PIN code are not sent to the Machine.If the Transmitting Unit does not have a power keyswitch, the Radio Remote Control start up is protected by PIN code.On the contrary, when the Transmitting Unit needs a power keyswitch, Radio Remote Control start up is protected by the power keyswitch itself. If the risk assessment requires further protection of the Radio Remote Control start up, the PIN code can be activated too.8.11.1 Power keyswitch start up (no PIN code)When the Receiving Unit is powered on correctly, perform the following procedure:1. Insert a charged battery in the Transmitting Unit (see paragraph 8.7.1),2. insert the power keyswitch in the Transmitting Unit (see paragraph 8.1.3),3. press the START pushbutton and hold it down until the green LED blinks quickly.4. release the START pushbutton.When the green LED blinks slowly, the Radio Remote Control is active and it can send commands and activate the Machine.30LIULK6N03_eng-00General operating instructionsAUTEC - AIR SERIES
8.11.2 PIN code start up (no power keyswitch)When the Receiving Unit is correctly powered on, perform the following procedure; press each pushbutton within 3 seconds after releasing the previous one:1. Insert a charged battery in the Transmitting Unit (see paragraph 8.7.1),2. press the START pushbutton and hold it down until the green LED illuminates,3. activate the commands corresponding to PIN code in the correct sequence (PIN 1, PIN 2 and PIN 3 given in the Technical Data Sheet).a. PIN 1 shall not be included in the start up procedure if it coincides with the START pushbutton.b. PIN 3 shall not be included in the start up procedure if it coincides with the START pushbutton.4. press the START pushbutton and hold it down until the green LED blinks quickly.5. release the START pushbutton.When the green LED blinks slowly, the Radio Remote Control is active and it can send commands and activate the Machine.Note: default PIN code set by AUTEC is: -PIN 1=START pushbutton. -PIN 2=FUNCTION pushbutton. -PIN 3=START pushbutton.Autec will set a customized PIN code only upon request by the Machine Manufacturer or the Installer.8.11.3 Power keyswitch + PIN code start upWhen the Receiving Unit is correctly powered on, perform the following procedure; press each pushbutton within 3 seconds after releasing the previous one:1. Insert a charged battery in the Transmitting Unit (see paragraph 8.7.1),2. insert the power keyswitch in the Transmitting Unit (see paragraph 8.1.3),3. press the START pushbutton and hold it down until the green LED illuminates,4. activate the commands corresponding to PIN code in the correct sequence (PIN 1, PIN 2 and PIN 3 given in the Technical Data Sheet).a. PIN 1 shall not be included in the start up procedure if it coincides with the START pushbutton.b. PIN 3 shall not be included in the start up procedure if it coincides with the START pushbutton.5. press the START pushbutton and hold it down until the green LED blinks quickly.6. release the START pushbutton.When the green LED blinks slowly, the Radio Remote Control is active and it can send commands and activate the Machine.AUTEC - AIR SERIESGeneral operating instructions 31LIULK6N03_eng-00
8.11.4 Procedure to modify the PIN codeIf a PIN code is needed for the Transmitting Unit, it can be modied to limit the use of the Radio Remote Control.To modify the PIN code, perform the following procedure with the Transmitting Unit switched o and the STOP pushbutton released.1. Press pushbuttons FUNCTION and START and hold them down until the green LED blinks (1 blink per second).2. Activate the commands of the PIN code sequence provided in the Technical Data Sheet.3. Activate command S1 (see Technical Data Sheet) repeatedly until LED 2 illuminates.4. Activate command S2 (see Technical Data Sheet) to conrm your selection (green LED blinks twice per second). You can choose the 3 commands you want to set as PIN code amongst all the commands on the Unit. If you want to start the Radio Remote Control with: -a single-command PIN code: press the START pushbutton as PIN 1 and PIN 3; -two-command PIN code: press the START pushbutton as PIN 1 or PIN 3.5. Activate the command you want to allocate as PIN 1 (LED 1 and green LED are steady on).6. Activate the command you want to allocate as PIN 2 (LED 2 and green LED are steady on).7. Activate the command you want to allocate as PIN 3 (LED 3 and green LED are steady on). PIN code is saved automatically.8.12 Command activationWhen the Radio Remote Control is started, it is possible to activate movements, functions and commands on the Machine by acting on the related pushbuttons or switches, whose functions and symbols are decided by the Manufacturer and/or the Installer. To identify the relation between the actuators and the corresponding Machine movements, the Machine Manufacturer and/or the Installer shall provide relevant instructions and the User shall be properly trained.8.13 Radio link interruptionWhen the radio link is incorrect or interrupted, the automatic stop function activates (see paragraph "Control devices" in the Instruction Manual's general part).The green LED of the Transmitting Unit signals this interruption by switching from slow blinking to one of the following statuses (see chapter 11): -fast blink; -on with steady light; -two blinks and a pause; -three blinks and a pause.8.14 Transmitting Unit automatic switch oThe Transmitting Unit automatically switches o when: -the battery is at (see paragraph 8.14.1), -the Radio Remote Control is not used for a certain time (see paragraph 8.14.2).To start the Radio Remote Control, see paragraph 8.11.32LIULK6N03_eng-00General operating instructionsAUTEC - AIR SERIES
8.14.1 Low batteryThe Transmitting Unit indicates if the battery is not suciently charged. -the red LED blinks slowly (one blink per second): the battery has less than 1h run time. -The red LED blinks fast: the battery has a 10 minute run time from the rst signal, after which the Transmitting Unit automatically switches o.It is necessary to bring the Machine to a safe state and replace the battery with a charged one (see paragraph 8.7).8.14.2 When the Transmitting Unit is not usedIf the Transmitting Unit remains started with no enabled commands, it will automatically switch o after a predetermined time frame. This time frame is specied in the Technical Data Sheet (SWITCH-OFF).Before the Transmitting Unit switches o automatically, the green and red LEDs blink alternating for 30 seconds.Activating any actuator corresponding to a movement command reduces the predetermined automatic switch-o time (SWITCH-OFF) to zero.Setting or removal of the automatic switch o time (SWITCH-OFF) is done by Autec and decided by the Machine Manufacturer or by the Installer, depending on the operation and functions they need on the Machine.8.15 Switching o the Transmitting UnitSwitch o the Transmitting Unit when not actively using the Radio Remote Control to operate the Machine, or when work is otherwise interrupted, even for short periods. Do not leave the load hanging or the Machine in dangerous conditions (even when charging the Unit or changing the battery).FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.Voluntary switch o of the Transmitting Unit occurs in the following cases: -when the power keyswitch (if present) is turned anti-clockwise or removed; -when battery is removed (see paragraph 8.7.2); -when the STOP pushbutton is pressed.AUTEC - AIR SERIESGeneral operating instructions 33LIULK6N03_eng-00
8.16 "Data Feedback" functionThe "Data Feedback" function acts through the LED array or the display. The User receives information and/or signals concerning some particular situations and the movements of the controlled Machine by means of this function.During normal Radio Remote Control operation, pay particular attention to the indications displayed and signalled by the display or through the LEDs: they can be helpful to evaluate the Machine working status.Any information shown and signalled on the display and/or through the "Data Feedback" LEDs can never be considered or used as a safety signal or for legal metrology.When operating and moving the Machine, remember that the Radio Remote Control does not operate autonomously when potential hazardous situations are displayed and signalled.If the green LED repeats the sequence "three blinks and a pause", there is no information and/or signals coming from the "Data Feedback" function. In this case, bring the Transmitting Unit closer to the Receiving Unit until the green LED blinks slowly.8.16.1 Operation with displayIf the Transmitting Unit has a display, it is possible to show warning icons, the measurements collected from the Machine and their description.The Machine Manufacturer chooses which information are displayed and the way they are displayed (icons and/or measurements and/or descriptions).8.16.2 Operation with LEDIf the Transmitting Unit has an LED array for the "Data Feedback" function, specic Machine conditions are signalled if they are illuminated (by way of example: load limits, limit switch).The signalled conditions depend on the settings chosen by the Machine Manufacturer.34LIULK6N03_eng-00General operating instructionsAUTEC - AIR SERIES
8.17 BACK-UP UNITIf the Transmitting Unit cannot be used, it can be replaced with a Transmitting Unit called "BACK-UP UNIT"; you need to ask for it from Autec.It is identical to the Unit that can no longer be used; the only dierence is the presence of the plate “BACK-UP UNIT” on the battery housing.Set DIP switch 2 in the "BACK-UP UNIT" as shown in the Technical Data Sheet.If no "Key ID 0-1" or "ID internal tx memory" is present in the Transmitting Unit that can no longer be used, perform the PAIR procedure to pair the “BACK-UP UNIT” with a Receiving Unit (the Technical Data Sheet shows which PAIR procedure to use).If a "Key ID 0-1" or an "ID internal tx memory" is present in the Transmitting Unit that can no longer be used, move it to the "BACK-UP UNIT" and perform the address saving procedure described below.As required by standard IEC 60204-32, each Radio Remote Control is uniquely identied through a serial number. Therefore, upon replacement of the Unit, the serial number of the Transmitting Unit to be replaced must be marked on the "BACK-UP UNIT", so that all Units belonging to the Radio Remote Control will show the same serial number.Autec cannot be held responsible if the serial number of the Transmitting Unit to be replaced has not been marked on the "BACK-UP UNIT".AUTEC - AIR SERIESGeneral operating instructions 35LIULK6N03_eng-00
Address storageWith fully charged battery and power keyswitch in the "BACK-UP UNIT", perform this procedure:1. press the START pushbutton and hold it down until the green and red LEDs light up,2. wait until the green LED blinks slowly,3. within 3 seconds, activate in sequence the commands corresponding to PIN 1, PIN 2 and PIN 3 that compose the PIN code given in the Technical Data Sheet.If the PIN code is incorrect, the red LED illuminates and the Transmitting Unit switches o. In this case, the storage procedure shall be repeated.If the PIN code is correct, the green LED turns steady on and the Transmitting Unit switches o: this indicates that the address has been stored in the "BACK-UP UNIT". It is now possible to start the Radio Remote Control and control the Machine with the "BACK-UP UNIT" Transmitting Unit.36LIULK6N03_eng-00General operating instructionsAUTEC - AIR SERIES
