Dead Man Function
With this function activated, it is necessary to press a
switch at the same time as a joystick/paddle in order for
the crane/machine motion to operate.
Hold Function
This function makes it possible to "Hold" a position of a
joystick without actually holding the joystick in place.
Pressing the "Hold" button when the joystick is in its
desired position allows the operator to release the
joystick while having the crane/machine motion still
active. The crane/machine motion remains active until
the "Hold" button is released.
Optional Feedback
This feature allows the transmitter to receive and
display information such as crane/machine status,
warnings, etc. The feedback can be displayed as visual
graphics or buzzers.
Optional Cable Back-Up
This option makes it possible to operate the
crane/machine with the transmitter connected to the
receiver with a cable. It is useful in situations where
radio interference or the absence of a fully charged
battery make radio remote control impossible. The
cable provides power to the transmitter, so a battery is
not necessary. The system will operate even if a
battery is not present in the battery compartment.
QUICK-SET SYSTEM
The Quick-Set System provides easier installation,
adjustment and service of the radio remote control
system. Quick-Set allows adjustment of all proportional
function speeds (valve travel) from the transmitter. A
red Program Key is provided to control the
programming mode. When adjustments are complete,
remove the Program Key and store it in a secure
location. Function speeds can be readjusted at any
time.
The system includes a base board, or mother board,
which includes all of the common function circuitry
found in most Hetronic receivers. These functions
include power regulation, decoding the received signal,
16 digital output functions, and the Quick-Set function.
The receiver also contains diagnostic Error Codes that
are visible on the outside of the housing to help quickly
diagnose problems.
FUNCTION SPEED ADJUSTMENT
This procedure requires that the receiver is connected
to the machine with power applied, all necessary wiring
is complete and a fully charged battery is in the
transmitter.
IMPORTANT: The crane must be located in an open
area so that sudden or unexpected crane movements
will not damage buildings or property. All power lines
must be out of reach of the boom. Set the outriggers in
the "out and down" position as recommended by the
crane manufacturer and be sure the crane is stable.
For specific instructions, refer to the crane
manufacturer’s operator manual. Allow the truck
engine to run at "Idle".
NOTE: Receiver should be wired to machine’s horn in
order to adjust Quick-Set.
1. Use the crane’s manual controls to raise the
boom from its rest. Extend the boom to a safe
starting point.
2. The transmitter must be attached to the operator
with the belt adjusted to a firm fit.
3. Turn the receiver power "ON".
4. Remove the black key from the transmitter
keyswitch.
5. Insert the red programming key into the
keyswitch.
6. Turn the transmitter "ON".
ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION: AVOID INJURY AND PROPERTY
DAMAGE - The crane may respond differently
with radio remote controls than with manual
controls. During the adjustment procedure,
use extreme caution with joystick/lever
movements. Avoid sudden movements and
observe crane motions carefully. The operator
must be standing on dry, level, stable ground
that is free of oil and debris.
