Scanreco – Service Manual G6 Radio Remote Control System
PART 2: INSTALLATION, TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
6. Installation
A typical Scanreco G6 radio remote control system consists of one portable battery-operated
transmitter carried by the operator and one fixed receiver that is installed on the crane or
machine that is being remote controlled. The communication between the Scanreco transmitter
and receiver is wireless via a radio link. As an optional back-up solution, a tether cable can be
installed between the transmitter and receiver, this automatically disables the radio communi-
cation and switches to serial communication via the cable.
The aim of this chapter is to present:
1. The inputs and outputs of the Scanreco radio remote control system.
2. Preparations before installation.
3. How to install the receiver.
4. How to setup and pair the transmitter.
5. How to install the battery charger.
WARNING!
• Read the safety instructions in chapter 2 carefully before proceeding with the installation.
• It is the responsibility of the system installer to correctly implement and install the Scanreco G6
radio remote control system for a specific machine.
• The system installer also has the responsibility to make sure that the system is installed in
accordance with all country, federal, state, local and private safety and health regulations,
codes, and standards. Scanreco does not take responsibility for any damage or injury caused
by inadequate safety implementations.
• If the G6 system is used in a safety critical application, the system installer must do the appro-
priate testing and analysis of the final application to prevent injury to the end user.
