Safety Instructions
Read these operating instructions carefully before working with the radio system. This applies in particular
to the installation, commissioning and maintenance of the radio system.
The operating instructions are a constituent part of the radio control system and must always be kept close
at hand for the responsible personnel.
The term ‘machine’ is used in the operating instructions for the different possible uses of the radio system.
Intended Use
x The radio system is used for the control of machines and for data transfer. Observe the occupational
safety and accident prevention regulations applicable to each application.
x The intended use also includes reading the operating instructions and adhering to all safety information
contained therein.
x The radio system must not be used in areas where there is a risk of explosion, nor for the control of
machines used to convey persons, unless it is explicitly approved for these uses by the manufacturer.
x Modifications to the radio system may only be carried out by specialist personnel who have been
trained and authorized by HBC-radiomatic. All modifications must be documented at the factory in the
radio control master file.
x The safety devices of the radio control system must not be modified, removed or bypassed. In
particular, modifications to any part of the radio system's complete E-STOP system are not allowed.
Safety Instructions for Installation and Operation
x The electrical connection according to the enclosed output wiring diagram must be established by a
qualified electrician exclusively.
x The receiver may only be opened by trained personnel. Components inside the receiver can be
energized at life-threatening voltages. The supply voltage for the machine must be disconnected
before the receiver is opened.
x Please also note that, with radio systems, the presence of persons in the danger zone – in particular
beneath the load (cranes!) – is prohibited in all cases.
x Select a safe location for radio control, from which you have a good and complete view of the working
movements of the machine, the load movements and the surrounding working conditions.
x It is not permissible to leave a radio transmitter unattended when it is activated. Always switch off the
radio transmitter when it is not required. This applies in particular if you change location, when working
without radio control, during breaks and at the end of work. Always protect the radio transmitter against
use by unauthorized persons, for example by locking it away.
x In the event of an emergency and with all faults, switch off the radio transmitter immediately by
pressing the STOP switch.
x Only operate the radio system when it is in perfect working order. Faults and defects that could
influence safety must be rectified by specialists who have been trained and authorized by HBC-
radiomatic before the system is put back into operation.
x Note that the operational directions of the operating elements may appear inverted depending on
location and viewing angle to the machine. This applies in particular to rotary cranes if your location
changes from inside to outside the radius of the crane. The operator must make himself familiar with
the directional markings on the machine before starting to work.
x Repairs may only be carried out by specialist personnel who have been trained and authorized by
HBC-radiomatic. Use original replacement parts and accessories (e.g. rechargeable batteries)
exclusively; otherwise it is possible that the equipment safety can no longer be guaranteed and our
extended warranty will be voided.
x Remain vigilant when working with the radio system and familiarize yourself with its functions. This
applies in particular if you are working with it for the first time or if you work with it only occasionally.
x Before starting to work, examine the STOP switch for mechanical ease of motion and electronic
function at least once a day:
When you press the STOP switch with the transmitter on, the display of the transmitter has to go out.
If the display does not go out then you have to disable the radio control system immediately.
