6.4.2 Remote Control Box
The remote control box for single-hand use was designed to give the operator an ergonomic, practical
remote control device, and to optimize the several crane functions.
It is essentially consisting of a plastic container with
protected control panel completely connected to an
ergonomic handgrip.
On the panel are located the crane operating selectors
(S) in radial arrangement.
The pendant panel is fitted with an essential symbology
for the different functions on a green background,
which is very agreeable and intuitive for the operator.
On the cable end, which can keep its flexibility and
handling even under extreme conditions, is applied the
connector to the control unit.
All moving operations are carried out by the remote
control box.
The pendant controller is supplied by plugging the
connector on the socket placed by the side on the
control casing,(see pict 8).
Operation is as follows:
1) push and hold the button P
2) operate the toggle switch selector of the
choosen function
3) the green led lights up and the crane starts
moving
On the pendant control box the following controls are
available, as shown in pict.9
A - crane slewing
B - boom raising/lowering
C - boom extension in/out
D - winch raising/lowering
P - power button

6.5 WIRING (pict.10)
The system is consisting of two fully independent wiring
systems, which are connected to the electronic control
unit through tight multipolar connectors (1) fitted with
a quick coupling system.
The first wiring (2) includes the solenoids for the
connection, of the operation valves which are located
on the hydraulic unit, to the electronic control unit. The
second wiring (3) connects the control unit to the safety
stop ends (FA – FB – FV), to the pressure switch (PM),
to the engine start/stop and to the power supply.
