Transmitter System USER’S MANUAL Light Series
Follow the indications and warnings given by the machine producer regarding the machine controlled by the radio remote control. The information contained in this manual considers a representative configuration of the radio remote control: please find radio remote control real configuration in the technical data sheet (attached to the manual). If this manual is lost or damaged, ask for a copy from AUTEC. Please specify the serial number of the relative radio remote control.

2 INTRODUCTION Industrial radio remote controls of the Light series are used to control machines from a distance. Each industrial radio remote control is made up of a portable transmitting unit, from which the user can remotely control the machine, and a receiving unit installed on board the machine itself. The transmitting unit uses radio frequencies to transmit a coded message which contains a value called address.
All machines must undergo a risk analysis: it is therefore necessary to evaluate, within the limits of this analysis, if the machine can be radio remote controlled. The machine producer and/or the person who decides upon radio remote control use and installation is responsible for this analysis. Autec cannot be held responsible if the risk analysis is not carried out correctly.
Identification plates The radio remote control identification and approval data is given on plates that are on both the transmitting unit and the receiving unit. These plates MUST NOT be: - removed from their position - altered or damaged (contact Autec for replacement) 2.2 GENERAL TECHNICAL DATA Frequency band...................................................................................... 902 - 928 MHz Available radio channels..........................................................................
3 LK TRANSMITTING UNIT These transmitting units can be used with one of the following receiving units: - Type R102 - Type R202 - Type R302 - Type R402. D E F C B G A H I A starting keyswitch F STOP pushbutton B START pushbutton G technical data plate C signalling LED H battery D pushbuttons I identification plate (in the battery housing) E selector (optional) LILKNPA1-01 - AmEn.
The number of pushbuttons in the LK transmitting unit varies depending on its configuration. The receiving units of the Light series are equipped with a safety function called SAFETY that protects the system “machine+radio remote control”, when it is in neutral (rest) position, from unintended movements caused by possible radio remote control faults. For this to happen, both the wiring instructions in the technical data sheet and the prescriptions for correct installation. 3.
4 WARNINGS FOR USE The user MUST ALWAYS respect the following warnings: VISUALLY FOLLOW all movements of the machine and its load remaining inside the typical working range of the radio remote control. BE POSITIONED in a way that permits him to see the system “machine+radio remote control”, and above all the load, in the best possible way. Before using the radio remote control ALWAYS MAKE SURE that the STOP pushbutton can be pressed and released: if it does not work, do not use the radio remote control.
5 WARNINGS FOR MAINTENANCE ENSURE THAT THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE TRANSMITTING UNIT BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE WORK. All control and maintenance actions carried out on the radio remote control must be verified and recorded by the person in charge of carrying out maintenance on the machine. Before carrying out maintenance and/or diagnostics it is recommended to replace the battery with a charged one and ensure the efficiency of the starting keyswitch.
Half yearly maintenance Make sure that all the relay contacts of the receiving unit operate correctly, and check that the contact closes when the corresponding manoeuvre is enabled and opens when the manoeuvre is disabled 5.2 SPECIAL MAINTENANCE (AUTEC SERVICE) Any fault should be repaired by authorised personnel (contact AUTEC SERVICE), using original Autec spare parts only.
6 WORKING MODE OF THE LK TRANSMITTING UNIT POWER ON AND START UP 1. To switch on the transmitting unit, insert the starting keyswitch in the appropriate slot. 2. To start the radio remote control functions, press the START pushbutton for 1-2 seconds. COMMAND ACTIVATION Activate the pushbuttons and/or selectors related to any of the movement or selection commands to be carried out. After starting, the green signalling LED always lights up.
STOP The STOP pushbutton should be pressed when it is necessary to stop the machine immediately when a dangerous condition should occur. To stop the machine immediately, press the STOP pushbutton. To start working again, after checking that the working conditions are safe, turn the STOP pushbutton in the direction indicated to deactivate it and repeat the starting procedure. BATTERY To recharge a low battery, proceed as follows: 1.
7 FREQUENCIES Radio frequency transmission of AUTEC radio remote controls operates inside frequency bands permitted by European regulations that are valid when the radio remote control is placed on the market. Each radio remote control is programmed by the producer in the AUTOMATIC scan mode (producer's standard programming) or MANUAL selection mode. 7.
8 PROGRAMMING The dip switches must be programmed when the battery is removed from the transmitting unit. Programming must only be carried out by authorised personnel. The incorrect closure of the transmitting unit can compromise the seal between the casings and thereby the protection degree from dust and water. For the correct functioning, the group of 8 dip switches (excluding DIP 1) for the radio modules E16STXUS1 (transmitting unit) and E16SRXUS1 (receiving unit) must be set in the same way. 8.
9 LK TRANSMITTING UNIT DIAGNOSTICS If the system “machine+radio remote control” does not start, check if the problem is caused by the radio remote control or the machine. Therefore, before carrying out any verification connect the cable control unit: if the machine does not start, the problem lies with the machine itself. If, on the other hand, the machine only starts using the cable control panel, the problem lies with the radio remote control.
