Frequency Management
Fixed Frequency
If the identification plate in the battery compartment of the transmitter shows a frequency value (e.g.
433,500 MHz), the transmitter operates with a fixed frequency.
Please contact your service department if the frequency has to be changed because the radio channel is
already assigned to another user.
Manual Frequency Switching
If the identification plate in the battery compartment of the transmitter shows the label man, the transmitter
features manual frequency switching.
This function can be used to change the radio channel during radio operation.
Depending on the version move the cursor to the corresponding softkey and press the radiomatic
®
iCON
until an acoustic signal sounds. Then release the radiomatic
®
iCON. Or press the button until
an acoustic signal sounds. Then release the button.
Please contact your service department if all available frequencies are occupied.
radiomatic
®
AFS
If the identification plate in the battery compartment of the transmitter shows the label AFS, the transmitter
is equipped with radiomatic
®
AFS (Automatic Frequency Selection).
When activating the transmitter radiomatic
®
AFS will check if the present radio channel is free. If the radio
channel is occupied, the system automatically finds and saves a free radio channel.
If the radio channel currently in use is occupied by another radio control system, you must switch the
transmitter off and on again in order to allow radiomatic
®
AFS to switch to a free radio channel.
The radiomatic
®
AFS option also includes the manual frequency switching function.
Note:
If radiomatic
®
AFS is to perform optimally, all the other radio systems in the immediate working
environment (e.g. the factory hall or building site) should be switched on before starting to use the
radio system for the first time. This allows radiomatic
®
AFS to detect automatically which radio
channels are already being used in the working area, and thereby to choose a suitable free channel
for its own use.
In addition, when switching the radio system on for the first time, the user should make sure that
his distance from the radio receiver and from the machine is a realistic reflection of the working
situation.
2.4 GHz technology
2.4 GHz technology works with automatic frequency coordination and thus ensures interruption -free
working in areas with many radio users. Manual frequency coordination is not necessary. With the
worldwide frequency band, 2.4 GHz technology can be used all over the world.
DECT
DECT technology is an extremely convenient method for uninterrupted radio control without frequency
conflicts. The operator always works on a free radio channel and does not need to make manual settings.
