8.15 Cable control
The cable control is used:
- in particular working conditions, established by the Machine Manufacturer
- when it is not possible to build a radio link between the Radio Remote Control Units,
- when working in environments where using radio frequencies is not allowed or is dangerous,
- when a fully charged battery is not available.
ATTENTION: The use of the cable control entails risk of electric shock when
working near overhead or underground power line's cables.
8.15.1 Description
The cable control connects the Transmitting Unit to the Receiving Unit through a cable that
replaces the radio link. The cable shall be plugged in the suitable connectors, one on the
Transmitting Unit and the other on the Receiving Unit (or placed where established by the
Machine Manufacturer).
When using the cable control, the working features (i.e. the meaning of actuators and the
Data Feedback function) do not change.
8.15.2 Operation
Before starting to work, make sure that the cable and the corresponding
connectors are intact.
Work organisation, Machines' position, passages, etc. shall be planned
so as to avoid that the cable control 's cable may be damaged by moving
trolleys or by the ongoing operations.
Do not use the cable control's cable to lift the Transmitting Unit.
Lay the cable in such a way as to prevent it from being squashed or strained
by people or objects. Avoid contact with sharp or cutting objects that can
cut the cable's protective sheath.
The cable control cannot be used if the Radio Remote Control is installed
on a Machine that controls loads that are not isolated from AC power supply
(if applicable).
Using the cable control at the same time as the waist belt or the shoulder
harness means that there is a physical connection between the User and
the Machine: therefore, the User must constantly check that the Machine's
movements, especially in case of loss of control (by way of example: risk of
overturning, of cable dragging by other Machinery), do not cause hazards.
In such situations, the User must pull out the belt or open it by unfastening
its buckle(s).
