Transmitter System USER’S MANUAL Modular 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.

English 2 INTRODUCTION Industrial radio remote controls of the Modular series are used to command 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; therefore it is 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.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT The following minimum documentation is supplied with each radio remote control: - transmitting unit manual - receiving unit manual - battery charger manual - a guarantee certificate - the radio remote control technical data sheet. English Make sure that the following documents have been supplied: if they are not, request them from Autec. Please specify the radio remote control serial number.
3 MJ TRANSMITTING UNIT These transmitting units can be used with one of the following receiving units: - Type R102 - Type R202.
The Modular series radio remote controls are equipped with a redundant control that protects the “radio remote control + machine” system, when it is in neutral (neutral position), from involuntary movements caused by possible radio remote control faults. This occurs only if the wiring indications indicated in the technical data sheet have been respected (paragraph "Technical data sheet" on page 5) as well as the indications for correct installation (see paragraph 4.3 or paragraph 5.3). .
! 4 WARNINGS FOR USE . THE OPERATOR MUST ALWAYS VISUALLY FOLLOW all movements of the machine and its load remaining inside radio remote control typical working range. BE POSITIONED in a way that permits him to see the “machine + radio remote control” system, and above all the load, in the best possible way. Before using the radio remote control ALWAYS MAKE SURE that the STOP push-button 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. English Any faults should be repaired by authorised Autec personnel using original Autec spare parts only. All control and maintenance interventions carried out on the radio remote control must be verified and recorded by the person in charge of carrying out maintenance on the machine.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE The following instructions allow to maintain the radio remote control in a perfect condition, guaranteeing it to function safely and correctly for a long period. Special applications may need more specific routine maintenance interventions to be carried out at different periods. These instructions do not in any case substitute the norms and laws that regulate work safety, nor do they limit the responsibility of the purchaser and user of the radio remote control.
SPECIAL MAINTENANCE English ! Any fault should be repaired by authorised Autec personnel (contact Service), using original Autec spare parts only. AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER When it is necessary to carry out special maintenance (radio remote control repair and replacement of damaged or faulty parts), do not contact anyone other than our Authorized Service Center.
6 MJ TRANSMITTING UNIT OPERATION POWER AND STARTING To switch on the transmitting unit, insert the starting key and turn it to "I". To start the radio remote control functions, press the “START” button for 1-2 seconds. After starting, the green signalling LED always lights up. COMMAND ACTIVATION Activate the joystick and/or selector actuators relevant to whatever movement or selection command is to be carried out.
English SWITCHING OFF The transmitting unit should be switched off each time work is stopped by turning the starting key to "O" and extracting it (always put the key in a safe place). The unit may also switch off if the battery is not sufficiently charged and/or when the radio remote control is not used for more than 3 and half minutes (set DIP nr. 1: refer to paragraph 8 "Programming").
7 FREQUENCIES The radio frequency of AUTEC radio remote controls is included in the group of frequencies permitted by regulations that are current at the moment of radio remote control entry onto the market. Each radio remote control is programmed by the producer in the AUTOMATIC scan mode (producer's standard programming) or MANUAL selection mode.
8 PROGRAMMING ! The dip switches must be programmed with the battery removed from the transmitting unit and can be done only by authorised personnel. The incorrect closure of the transmitting unit can compromise seal between the casings and thereby the protection grade from dust and water. English DIP SWITCHES ON E16STXUS1 RADIO TRANSMITTING MODULE The group of eight dip switches found in the module is necessary for programming some operations and setting the operating frequency.
9 MJ TRANSMITTING UNIT DIAGNOSTICS If the “machine+radio remote control” system does not start, check if the problem is caused by the radio remote control or the machine. Before carrying out any verifications, check the functioning of the machine with the cable control panel: - if it does not switch on, the problem lies with the machine itself - if it does switch on, the problem lies with the radio remote control.
