Radio System
3.2.2 Pitch – Catch – Tandem Mode
The "Pitch – Catch – Tandem Mode"
enables two or more crane operators
equipped with one transmitter each to
independently use several cranes.
Each crane is equipped with a radio
receiver that can receive and monitor
transmitter frequencies. After
activating the receivers all
transmitters have equal access to the
control system.
Releasing the crane ("Pitch")
The crane(s) must be released as
follows in order to set the control
system to the starting position :
1. Turn rotary switch (pos. Á) on
transmitter 1 or transmitter 2 to
"0 = Pitch" and hold the switch in this position for at
least one second.
All cranes under control can be accessed by other
transmitters.
2. For safety reasons we recommend switching OFF
transmitter 1 or transmitter 2 (pos. À). This will avoid
operator errors.
The respective transmitter 1 or transmitter 2 now has
no access to the crane control system.
Taking over control of the crane ("Catch")
To take control over a released crane / the released
cranes:
1. Turn rotary switch (pos. Á) on transmitter 1 or
transmitter 2 to the respective position ("A" or "B" or
"A+B" or "B+A").
2. Actuate the pushbutton "ON / Horn" (pos. Â) to take
control over the crane.
The transmitter with control over the crane retains the access to the receiver
(transmitter 1 or transmitter 2) until the operator has issued the "Pitch" statement.
(switch position "0").
Example :
Transmitter 2 has control over the crane(s). Transmitter 1 is to be given control over a
crane/both cranes. The operators must continue as follows :
1. Turn rotary switch (pos. Á) on transmitter 2 to the "0 = Pitch" position.
2. For safety reasons deactivate transmitter 2, i.e. turn the key switch (pos. À) to the
"0 = OFF" position.
3. Activate transmitter 1, i.e. turn the key switch (pos. À) to the "1 = ON" position.
4. Turn the rotary switch (pos. Á) on transmitter 1 to the position "A" or "B" or "A+B" or
"B+A".
Transmitter 1 now has sole access to all crane functions.
