OPERATION MANUAL
The protected zone and maximum range function is an elec-
tronic safety feature designed to prevent the loss of visual con-
tact between the operator and the machine and excessive prox-
imity of the operator to the machine.
A machine equipped with remote control contains sensors de-
termining the safe distance of the operator from the working
machine. This creates a protected zone and a safe zone.
The protected zone is the area marked in orange (1), at a dis-
tance of 0–2 m from the sensors located on the bonnet.
The safe zone is the area marked in grey (2A), at a distance of
2–20 m, when using the remote control, see gure 557031A.
The maximum range of the remote control is 20 m. If this dis-
tance is exceeded, the machine automatically stops and does
not respond to operator commands.
When using the remote control, the operator is allowed to move
only within the safe zone.
The safe zone is the area marked in grey (2A), at a distance of
2– 5 m, when using the remote control and cable, see gure
557032A. The maximum range of the cable is limited by the ca-
ble length (5m).
When using the remote control and cable, the operator is al-
lowed to move only within the safe zone.
It is forbidden to operate the machine from the striped area (2B).
The sense of the controls does not correspond to the movement
of the machine.
Limits of the protected zone and maximum range
Remote control
and cable
Remote control
Stop zone 0,5 0,5 m
Protected zone (1) approx. 0-2 m approx. 0-2 m
Safe zone (2A) approx. 2-5 m approx. 2-20 m
Maximum range approx. 0–2 m approx. 20 m
If the operator leaves the safe zone, the machine halts. The en-
gine keeps running, but all other functions are disabled. In order
to reactivate the machine, the operator must be located in the
safe zone according to specic conditions, with the cable con-
nected more than 2m from the machine and when controlling
via the remote control (2–20m).
The stop zone is the area at a distance of 0–0.5 m from the sen-
sor (10), not from the machine frame! The stop zone is still active
regardless of the settings and functions of the machine.
When using the dead man function, the protected zone
is deactivated.
Use extra caution. There is a risk of injury or death by be-
ing run over by the machine!
The distances of the individual zones are stated from
the sensors (10) located on the bonnet, not from the ma-
chine frame!
The sensors do not react to people approaching the ma-
chine, only to the remote control.
During the operation of the machine, do not enter the
protected zone of two metres.
The limit of the two-metre protected zone may be dis-
torted by ±10% from the nominal value.
Do not use the remote control in the protected 2-metre
zone or if there is insucient visual contact between the
machine and the operator or the remote control, unless
stated otherwise.
Operate the machine exclusively from the area in grey,
i.e. from the safe zone. Outside the safe zone, the control
switches of control elements do not correspond to direc-
tions of machine movements.
When the machine is controlled using the remote control
and the cable, the maximum distance from the machine
is limited by the cable length.
It is forbidden to extend the remote control cable to a
distance longer than 5metres.
Extending the cable to more than 5m may pull the re-
mote control out of the operator’s hand, or the cable or
remote control may be damaged.
