The availability of the following functions depends on the design and configuration of your radio control
system.
Safety Features
radiomatic
®
shock-off / zero-g / inclination switch
In specific emergency situations, these safety features can prevent unintended movement commands from
being given to the machine, protecting the operator as well as other personnel in close proximity to the
machine in use.
radiomatic
®
shock-off can react if the transmitter receives a hard impact.
radiomatic
®
zero-g can react if the transmitter is falling down or being thrown.
radiomatic
®
inclination switch can activate if the transmitter exceeds a certain angle
of inclination for a specified time and/or is positioned upside down.
Depending on the ordered version the features can operate in three different ways:
x The complete radio system is shut down.
x Safety-relevant functions are deactivated.
x A previously defined function (e. g. crane horn) is activated.
In addition the symbol for the safety feature is shown in the display, an acoustic signal
sounds and the transmitter vibrates.
To de-activate the safety feature, press the Start button for 2 seconds. Then the
transmitter is ready for operation again.
The safety features do not relieve the operator of his responsibility to turn off the
transmitter with the STOP switch when not in use.

report – User Identification with merlin
®
TUC
The user identification function enables the management of access rights to your machines and protects
them from unauthorized use. The login card merlin
®
TUC (Transmitter User Card) serves as a key to
activate the control (see the description in the chapter “Activation with merlin
®
TUC”). In addition, the card
can be configured individually. In connection with an HBC data logger, which is connected to the radio
receiver, a user-based collection and detailed evaluation of diverse operational data of the radio system
is possible.
Enabling Switch
The two-step enabling switch provides enhanced safety during maintenance and service work on or in the
machine as well as for applications with multiple users. In order to transmit control commands to the
machine, the operator has to keep the switch pushed into the first step. Only then are the other operating
elements activated. If the operator releases the button or pushes it into the second step (e.g. as the result
of a cramp), all machine functions are immediately stopped. With this, the operator is pro tected from
dangerous unintended movements of the machine in case he should lose consciousness or no longer has
control over the transmitter.
If an application is controlled by more than one operator, movement commands can only be performed if
all operators keep the enabling switch pushed into the first step.
