1.0 Warranty: Intercontinental Technologies, Ltd. (ITL) guarantees that this product meets its published specifications at the time of shipment. This equipment is warranted against defects in material and manufacturing for a period of one year from the date of shipment.

For warranty service, the product must ultimately be returned to ITL.
2.0 Installation Instructions: 1. The receiver should be mounted in a location that is convenient to the control box and is securely attached to the equipment. The receiver is mounted by drilling four ¼” (6mm) holes (see diagram below). Mount the receiver using the supplied hardware. It is best to keep the receiver as far away as possible (approximately 6 feet) from variable frequency drives and the motors and cables attached to them to avoid interference. F24-J-RX Receiver Mounting Diagram 2.
4. Put 4 AA alkaline batteries into each transmitter. To insert the batteries in the F24-J-TX (transmitter), unscrew and open the hinged battery cover on the bottom of the unit. Remove the battery pack. Insert the batteries as indicated on the label inside the battery pack noting polarity markings. Insert the battery pack into the bottom of the transmitter. Replace the cover and tighten the thumbscrew until the cover is fully seated against the transmitter body. 5.
6. Turn the green key to OFF and remove it whenever the transmitter is not in use to prevent unintentional operation. 7. The receiver has an extra relay labeled R0. Pushing the green start button after the equipment has already been started will close this relay. This relay will not engage the first time the Start pushbutton is pressed when starting up the equipment. See section 8.0 for detailed information on this option. 4.0 Safety: EMERGENCY PROCEDURE: In case of emergency, perform these steps IN ORDER.
- - - - - - Fall prevention devices should be used when anyone is working at an elevated height. The receiver must be securely attached and located where it will not be hit by any moving part of the building, crane, or load. The crane or hoist must be equipped with limit switches for each motion and a main power contactor that cuts off all power to the motors of the crane when it is de-energized.
- - - 5.0 Ensure that anyone performing maintenance on the unit is thoroughly familiar with its operation. Power should be shut off to the crane or equipment before any maintenance begins, unless absolutely required for troubleshooting the unit. When the power is on, use extreme caution. High voltage or unexpected movement could cause death or severe injury. Only certified maintenance personnel should attempt a repair more involved than the swapping of printed circuit boards.
2. Cleaning A. External 1. Case- general 2. Emergency stop knob. 3. Start key and socket. Remove key and blow out socket with low-pressure compressed air. 4. Around dials and buttons. B. Internal 1.
