2.7 INFORMATION FOR MAINTENANCE
Please remember that the receiving unit should be disconnected from power supply and the transmitting unit should be
powered off during maintenance procedures.
The Radio Remote Control System requires minimal maintenance, however, following these few simple tips will help
keep it in good working order.
TRANSMITTING UNIT
Periodically
- clean unit with a brush and wet cloth; avoid using alcohol, solvents or detergents
- ensure the battery charge contacts are clean
- check housing and rubber parts for damage
In addition, DO NOT:
- expose unit to jets of water or heavy rain
- leave unit exposed to sun radiation
- clean unit with jets of water or blow with compressed air
- immerse in water
- Before storing the system away for long periods, fully charge the battery
RECEIVING UNIT
Periodically
- clean unit with a brush and wet cloth; avoid using alcohol, solvents or detergents;
- check housing and rubber parts for damage.
- check any connectors and/or cable glands for proper tightening.
In addition, DO NOT:
- clean unit with jets of water or blow with compressed air.
2.8 INFORMATION FOR THE PROPER INSTALLATION OF THE RADIO
REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
System must be installed and serviced by qualied and trained personnel.
Proper installation of the radio remote control is critical to ensuring proper operation and ease of maintenance.
Following are a few recommendations to be followed before and after installation:
- Perform a careful risk analysis to determine whether the machine is suitable for working in conjunction with a radio
remote control and identify any residual risks.The manufacturer of the machine and / or the installer of radio remote
control is responsible for this analysis. The ELCA Company can not be held responsible for the operation of its system
on applications where the risk analysis was not carried out properly.
- Be aware that in case of interruption of the radio link for active stop, auto power off, low battery, power failure of the
receiver, radio range exceeded, interference, etc.. all the outputs of the receiver are turned off and it is no longer
possible to control the equipment until a further restart of the radio remote control. Carefully consider whether this can
be a danger.
- Where it is not already provided, it is necessary to limit the maximum current on the power supply circuit to 10 Amps
- In case on the relay contacts you use dangerous voltages, higher than 42.4 Volt AC or higher than 60 Volt DC, you
need to consider also power supply circuit as connected to dangerous voltages. In this case it is necessary to provide
a power circuit dedicated to the feeding of the receiver with suitable connections as regards the exhisting dangerous
voltage.
- In case of dangerous voltages inside the receiver, it is not allowed to use the external antenna.
- To obtain the maximum range, install the receiving unit between 2 and 10 metres above the ground and where there
are no obstacles between transmitter and receiver;
- install the receiving unit housing within easy reach to ensure safe access by repair or maintenance technicians;
- use multi-pin connectors to connect receiver to machine so as to facilitate replacement in the event of a failure;
- the place selected for receiving unit installation should be free from vibration: where this is not possible, use vibration
dampers;
