Radio Control Operator’s Duties – E.O.T. Crane.
WARNINGS:
ALL EQUIPMENT MUST HAVE A MAINLINE (ML) CONTACTOR
INSTALLED AND ALL TRACKED EQUIPMENT (i.e. CRANES) HAVE A
BRAKE INSTALLED.
THE REMOTE CONTROL OPERATE (OPR) RELAY MUST BE
CONNECTED TO THE MAINLINE SO THAT STOP COMMANDS OR
FAULT CONDITIONS MONITORED BY AUTOMATIC SAFETY
OVERRIDE (ASO) CIRCUITRY WILL DE-ENERGIZE THE MAINLINE
CONTACTOR AND SET THE EQUIPMENT BRAKE.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONNEL AND DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT.
WARNING:
DUE TO FCC PART 15 AND DOC RSS-210 RADIO TRANSMIT
REGULATIONS, THE OPR OUTPUT TO WHICH YOUR CONTROLLED
EQUIPMENT’S MAINLINE CONTACTOR IS CONNECTED WILL
REMAIN ENERGIZED FOR TEN MINUTES AFTER THE CONTROLLER
POWER IS SET TO ‘OFF’, OR FOR TEN MINUTES AFTER THE LAST
TIME A PUSHBUTTON IS DEPRESSED. CONSEQUENTLY, SPECIAL
CARE MUST BE TAKEN IF THE CRANE OR TRACKED MACHINE IS
EQUIPPED WITH A PARKING BRAKE THAT IS CONFIGURED TO
ENGAGE WHEN THE MAINLINE CONTACTOR DE-ENERGIZES.
TO PREVENT A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION, YOU
SHOULD IMMEDIATELY PRESS THE RED ‘STOP’ BUTTON ON YOUR
REMOTE CONTROLLER AFTER COMPLETION OF CRANE
OPERATIONS. SUCH ACTION WILL INSURE THE PARKING BRAKE
(IF EQUIPPED AND CONFIGURED AS ABOVE) IS SET, PREVENTING
UNINTENTIONAL MOVEMENT OF THE CRANE OR TRACKED
MACHINE.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONNEL AND DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT.
