Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. • • • • • • • • • • If the transmitter battery power becomes insufficient, the transmitter will send out an Emergency Stop signal (EMS). This signal will stop all actions previously set to shut down when a STOP signal is received. The LED on the transmitter will illuminate red continuously and the buzzer on the transmitter will buzz continuously until the batteries are removed. If this occurs, replace all four batteries before using the product again.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 3 Overview of Parts and Features This Chapter describes the major parts and features of the F22 Series Industrial Radio Remote Controller. F22 Series radio remote controls are available in different styles to meet different needs. The two basic configurations are handheld and joystick. Handheld controllers are available in two configurations: “Mini-Style” and “N1-Style.” The MiniStyle handhelds are new, advanced designs that are sleek and compact.

Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 4 Operation of the F22 Series Industrial Radio Remote Controller Note: Operating industrial equipment can be hazardous. Use TELECRANE equipment only in accordance with the directions specified in this manual and follow all safety guidelines. Only trained personnel should use TELECRANE equipment. 4.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. At the start of each shift, perform the following safety checks: 1. Confirm that there is sufficient battery power EMS Start to operate the transmitter: If the LED color Button Key during the power-on procedure was green, then there is sufficient battery power to operate the transmitter. If the LED color was yellow or red, then battery power is low and all four batteries should be replaced immediately. See Table 4-1-3 below for more details. 2.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. 4.1.4 Pushbutton Operation The F22 Series transmitters can control a large number of motions and include factory programming customized to your application. As a result, the specific function of each button will vary depending on the application. See Chapter 10 of this manual for descriptions of the standard and custom button functions that are available. Operate the transmitter by pressing the appropriate motion and auxiliary buttons for your application.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. 4.2 Special Functions of Handheld Models 4.2.1 Entering a Password (Optional) The F22 Series Handheld models provide the ability to require a four-character password before use. This feature helps prevent unauthorized or inadvertent use of industrial equipment. This feature must be enabled, and the password set, at the factory. If this option has been enabled, then the operator will be required to enter a four-character password before operating the transmitter.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. 3. To reduce the speed, press the “ratchet down” button once. Repeated pressing will reduce the speed to the lowest speed of the ratcheting feature. To get to the lowest speed, lift the motion button from the second step to the first step. Note: When accelerating or decelerating with the ratchet function, the motion button must be fully depressed. If the motion button is fully released, then the speed will return to zero.

Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 5 5.1 • • • • • • • User Maintenance Safety Aspects of User Maintenance In general, maintenance on this product should only be performed by your installer, distributor, or ITL. Ensure that anyone performing maintenance on the unit is thoroughly familiar with its operation. The crane’s power sources should be shut off before any maintenance begins, unless absolutely required for troubleshooting the unit. When the power to the crane is on, use extreme caution.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 6 6.1 Basic Troubleshooting Reliability The F22 Series of remote controllers are designed for high reliability in an industrial environment.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. If the receiver appears to be damaged or malfunctioning, then ensure that the green carrier light illuminates when a button on a working transmitter is pressed. This light is one of the LED’s on the front cover of the receiver. If the carrier light does not illuminate, contact your distributor. Both the transmitter and receiver are equipped with self-diagnostics. If either one detects a malfunction, it will sound an error message in Morse code.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Part 2: Technician’s Manual Chapter 7 Safe Installation Emergency Procedure In case of emergency, perform these steps IN ORDER: 1. Press the Red STOP Button. 2. Turn the Green Rotary Key Switch to the OFF position and remove the key from the transmitter. 3. Switch off the main power to the crane. 4. Contact your distributor or installer. NOTE: Read ALL safety information before you install or operate this product. 7.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. • • • • • • • Before installation, be certain to understand the electrical functioning of the crane, including the order and relationship of motions and contactors. Fall prevention devices should be used when anyone is working on the crane. The receiver must be securely attached and located where it will not be hit by any moving part of the building, crane, or load.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 8 8.1 Installation Transmitter Installation No special installation is required for F22 Series Industrial Radio Remote Controller transmitters. However, before the unit can be operated, check the battery power (see Section 4.1.3). If fresh batteries are required, install them as described below: 8.1.1 Battery Installation (Handheld Models Only) 1. Unscrew the cover of the battery compartment. 2. If present, remove and discard the old batteries. 3.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. • • If possible, select a place where you can see the receiver or antenna during operation. Select a place away from motors, relays, high-voltage wiring, magnetic switches, and power cables. • The receiver must be at least 3 cm away from any obstacles. 2. Determine the available power source. The standard input voltage for the handheld’s receiver is 120 VAC, 60 Hz (240 VAC and 12 or 24 V, AC or DC, are also available).
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 9 9.1 Programming By Computer Overview The Telecrane F22 Series Radio Remote Controls use a Windows based application program to read, write, and change their programming. This programming is generally performed at the factory when a unit is ordered, and is selected by the customer from the options in Chapter 10 and communicated by means of the “Programming Sheets” in Chapter 14.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 10 Function Settings Industrial Radio Remote Controllers are used in diverse operating environments and have a wide range of applications and uses. This creates a need for flexibility and control over the setting of the functions designed into these controllers. Default parameters are set at the factory, but many functions and parameters can be customized to provide particular operating functions.

Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 11 Alarm Codes This Chapter provides a listing of Alarm Codes to be used during diagnostics and repair activities. Please refer to Chapter 6 for troubleshooting information. 1. If the F22 detects an error, an alarm tone may sound. The alarm tones are given in Morse code, where “.” (dot) indicates a short alarm for a duration of 0.26 second and “—” (dash) a long alarm for a duration of 0.78 second. The interval between each alarm tone is 0.26 second. 2.

Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. Chapter 12 Principles of Operation of Major Subcomponents This Chapter provides an overview of the major functions of the F22 Series, including a description of the transmitter, the receiver, and the major parts of each. 12.1 Transmitter The most important components of the transmitter are the Encoder/Button printed circuit board, the RF Module, and an EEPROM. 12.1.1 Encoder/Button PCB This module is the heart of the transmitter.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. 12.2 Receiver The most important components of the receiver are the Receiver/Decoder Module, the Relay printed circuit board, the LED printed circuit board, the EEPROM, the Mainline Indicator printed circuit board, and the Run/Test Switch. 12.2.
Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. 12.2.4 Mainline Indicator Lamp PCB This module indicates, by means of several bright red LEDs, when the mainline relay is activated and the unit is ready to operate. 12.2.5 Run/Test Switch This switch, part of the Relay PCB, interrupts the flow of power to the operating coils of the relays, thus rendering them inoperative. The LED PCB is unaffected by this switch, and can be used to test the equipment without movement of the crane.
