Activating the Remote Control
To activate the remote control upon arriving at the job site,
proceed as follows (see Figure 4-12
):
1. Remove the remote control (1) from the storage
compartment on the side of the operator cab.
2. Using the key provided, turn the external engine switch
(6) CLOCKWISE to the RUN position.
3. Turn the power switch on the side of the remote control
CLOCKWISE to the ON (I) position. The communication
light on the remote will flash green.
4. Press the communication switch on the side of the
remote control for approximately one second and
release it. The function light on the remote control for the
last function used will glow green.
The remote control will remain active until the external
engine switch (6) is turned COUNTERCLOCKWISE to the
STOP position or the remote control is deactivated in the
Remote Control Selection Screen in the Main Display (see
MLC650 Main Display Operation Manual).
The remote control will “go to sleep” after 10 minutes of non-
use. If this happens, press the communication switch on the
side of the remote control for approximately one second and
release it to re-establish communication.
NOTE The remote control can also be activated in the
Remote Control Selection Screen in the Main
Display (see Main Display Operation Manual).
Starting Engine with Remote Control
To start the engine using the remote control:
1. Activate the remote control as instructed in activating the
remote control.
2. Read the Startup Procedures in Section 3 of this
manual.
3. Turn the engine ignition switch on the remote control
CLOCKWISE to the START position to start the engine.
4. Release the power switch to the ON (I) position as soon
as the engine starts.
NOTE: To stop the engine when using the remote control,
turn the external engine switch (6) COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE to the STOP position.
Rotating Bed Jacking Cylinders Function
When the ALL jacking cylinders function is selected, all of the
rotating bed jacking cylinders will extend or retract at the
same time. The cranes programmable controller will
automatically adjust the jacks to keep the rotating bed in the
same relative position that it starts out in. If the rotating bed is
level, the jacks will adjust to keep it level.
The ALL jacking cylinders function is disabled and an error
indicator light on the remote (AMBER LED) will illuminate if:
• The controller senses the roll (left/right) is out of level by
4.5 degrees.
• The pitch (front/rear) is out of level by 3.0 degrees.
Use the INDIVIDUAL jacking cylinders function to bring the
crane back to level or to level the crane in the event of a
faulty level sensor.
SETUP MODE
To operate in the setup mode during crane assembly and
disassembly, perform the following steps:
• Select the live mast configuration in the RCL/RCI
Display. See the RCL/RCI Display Operation Manual for
instructions.
This step allows the boom control handle to raise and
lower the live mast and the center drum control handle to
extend and retract the self-erect cylinder.
• For current production cranes (CCM-10 software
version 0.022 and newer), activate the self-erect
cylinder in the Mode Selection Group of the Main
Display. See the Main Display Operation Manual for
instructions.
• Activate the remote control in the Mode Selection Group
of the Main Display. See the Main Display Operation
Manual for instructions.
NOTE All of these steps are performed automatically when
the remote control is turned on using the procedure
under the topic Activating the Remote Control
.
