Operating Procedure – PS Controller, continued.

WARNING:

ON CAB AND REMOTE OPERATED CRANES OR CARRIERS AN AUDIBLE

OR VISUAL WARNING MEANS SHALL BE PROVIDED. IN ADDITION,

ALL EQUIPMENT SHALL HAVE AUDIO OR VISUAL ALARM

INDICATIONS MEETING GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. FAILURE

TO IMPLEMENT THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY

OR DEATH TO PERSONNEL AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.

CAUTION:

All control functions will be stopped if the PS Controller is used or left standing

in an upright position during heavy rain, or in hostile environments where water

could fill the top of the controller and cover the ‘i-Key’. To resume control

functions, simply invert and shake the controller to remove excess water. There

is no need to remove the ‘i-Key’. Ideally, to prevent such occurences in wet

weather and water spray environments, the controller should (1) never be left

standing upright, (2) be carried by the shoulder strap, and (3) operated in a near

horizontal position.

1. Insert correct color-coded ‘i-Key’. This coded electronic key sets the unique operating

parameters for a given control system. In the PSAT family of controllers, these parameters

include, address code, operating frequency and function key (pushbutton) configurations,

whereas in the PSEZ and PSCS families of controllers the ‘i-key’ only defines and enables the

pushbutton operating functions for a specific PRC system. The ‘i-key’ is simply installed by

pressing into its receptacle and may be further secured to the controller using the metal stud

located behind the rubber bumper. Note that a Pendant Station Controller will not operate

without an ‘i-Key’ installed.

2. Set red STOP Switch to ‘RUN’. Pulling this switch upward enables power to be applied to the

PS controller. If the switch has been pushed down to the ‘STOP’ position, you will first have to

unlatch the switch knob by rotating in a clockwise direction.

3. Set Power ON/OFF Switch to ‘ON’. Rotating this switch clockwise applies power to the PS

controller. Two quick ‘beeps’ with the green TRANSMIT LED flashing rhythmically indicates

the controller is ready for use and a power up message has been sent to the target

receiver/decoder. The targeted receiver/decoder will respond by energizing the mainline

contactor of your controlled equipment.
