Safety Instructions
Read through these operating instructions carefully before working with the radio system. This applies in
particular to the installation, commissioning and maintenance of the radio system.
The operating instructions are a constituent part of the radio control system and must always be kept
close at hand for the responsible personnel.
The term ‘machine’ is used in the operating instructions for the different possible uses of the radio
system.
Intended Use
The radio system serves to control machines and for data transfer. Observe the job safety and
accident prevention regulations applicable to each application.
The intended use also includes reading the operating instructions and adhering to all safety
information contained therein.
The radio system must not be used in areas where there is a risk of explosion, nor for the control of
machines used to convey persons, unless it is explicitly approved by the manufacturer for these
uses.
Modifications to the radio system may only be carried out by specialist personnel who have been
trained and authorized by HBC-radiomatic. All modifications must be documented at the factory in
the radio control master file.
The radio control system safety devices must not be modified, removed or bypassed. In particular,
modifications to any part of the radio system's complete emergency-stop system are impermissible.
In the event of an interruption of the radio link during a working cycle – what can occasionally happen –
both transmitter and receiver automatically shut down (so-called "compulsory switch-off").
To reactivate the system release all operator controls and allow the control elements to return to their
zero position. After that the machine can react again to control commands. This feature hinders any
uncontrolled or unwanted machine movement, should the radio link be interrupted.
Note:
If the machine is equipped with a main contactor you must actuate the start button before the
machine can react again to control commands.
The transmitter is equipped with a start button. Depending on the version this is either the button
or position 3 of the rotary switch on the left.
Note:
The transmitter switches off when
the start button is actuated for longer than half a second (see
above, point 2).
switching on takes over 4 seconds.
another button is pressed when switching on.
You must then press the STOP switch and repeat steps 1 to 3.
Caution:
Before starting work always trigger the acoustic signal. This warns
all colleagues that the machine is about to move.
STOP switch
/ Start button
Deactivating the Transmitter Status LED
Press the STOP switch.
radiomatic ® iON
Note:
Replace the battery when the status LED in the transmitter flashes red and an acoustic signal
sounds. Otherwise, the transmitter will switch off in a few minutes.
Recharge the empty battery in the respective charger.
Automatic Switch-OFF (APO Function)
For safety reasons we have equipped the transmitter with an automatic switch-OFF (APO function).
The transmitter is automatically put out of circuit after approx. 15 minutes of non-use.
The automatic switch-OFF also saves battery power.
After an automatic switch-Off you must reactivate the transmitter by means of the start button.
Caution:
The automatic switch-OFF does not relieve the operator of his responsibility to turn off the
transmitter with the STOP switch when not in use.
Battery and Battery Charger
NiMH Battery
The battery capacity depends on the age of the battery and the ambient temperature. Older batteries
lose their capacity over time. The battery capacity diminishes more quickly at temperatures below 0 °C
(32 °F) and above 40 °C (104 °F).
Note:
Charge the battery fully before initial use and/or after storing for longer than 6 months. When
doing so note that the battery will only reach its full capacity after 3 - 5 charge cycles
(complete charging and discharging)
Use only the associated HBC charger to charge the battery
Charge the battery at an ambient temperature of 0 – 40 °C (32 – 104 °F).
Recharge the battery only when the status LED on the transmitter flashes red and the
acoustic signal sounds.
Charge the battery fully before storing it for a prolonged period. Otherwise total discharge may
occur.
Always store rechargeable batteries at room temperature.
Protect the battery from short circuits and always store it in the protective cover provided.
When handled properly the battery can exceed 500 charging cycles
Battery Charger
Depending on customer selection, an AC or DC charger is available.
Note:
If a deep discharged battery is inserted into the charger, the red LED will illuminate for a few
seconds before charging is started (LED orange illuminates).

Options
The availability of the following functions depends on the design and configuration of your radio control
system.
Safety Features
The safety features enable a quick shut-down of the radio control in specific emergency situations.
Therefore, these intelligent functions prevent a dangerous unintended command from being given to the
crane or machine.
radiomatic ® shock-off can trigger a quick automatic shut-down of the radio control
in case of an impact to the transmitter – e. g. if the transmitter is being hit by a
massive object thereby getting out of control.
radiomatic ® roll-detect can automatically detect rolling of the transmitter and, in this
case, initiate a quick shut-down of the radio control.
The safety features do not relieve the operator of his responsibility to turn off
the transmitter with the STOP switch when not in use.
Frequency Selection
Fixed Frequency
If the identification plate in the battery compartment of the transmitter shows a frequency value (e.g.
433,500 MHz), the transmitter operates with a fixed frequency.
Please contact you service department if the frequency has to be changed because the frequency
channel is already assigned to another operator.
radiomatic ® AFS
If the identification plate in the battery compartment of the transmitter shows the label AFS, the
transmitter is equipped with radiomatic ® AFS (Automatic Frequency Selection).
When activating the transmitter radiomatic ® AFS will check if the present frequency channel is free. If the
frequency channel is occupied, the system automatically finds and saves a free frequency channel.
If the frequency channel currently in use is occupied by another radio control system, you must switch
the transmitter off and on again in order to allow radiomatic ® AFS to switch to a free frequency channel.
The radiomatic ® AFS option also includes the manual frequency switching function.
Note:
If radiomatic ® AFS is to perform optimally, all the other radio systems in the immediate working
environment (e.g. the factory hall or building site) should be switched on before starting to use the
radio system for the first time. This allows radiomatic ® AFS to detect automatically which radio
channels are already being used in the working area, and thereby to choose a suitable free
channel for its own use.
In addition, when switching the radio system on for the first time, the user should make sure that
his distance from the radio receiver and from the machine is a realistic reflection of the working
situation.
radiomatic ® AFM
If the identification plate in the battery compartment of the transmitter shows the label AFM the
transmitter is equipped with radiomatic ® AFM (Automatic Frequency Management).
radiomatic ® AFM detects available frequency channels constantly. If the frequency channel currently in
use is occupied by another radio control system, radiomatic ® AFM switches automatically to a free
frequency channel.
Catch-Release
Via the Catch-Release option two or more transmitters can control a
machine alternately.
When the receiver is switched on, the machine can initially be
controlled via any associated transmitter. Once the receiver was taken
over by one transmitter, the other transmitters no longer have access.
Release machine
1. Enter the "Release" command on the transmitter.
2. Switch the transmitter off.
The access rights for the machine are cancelled. Machine control can be taken over by another
transmitter.
Operating Example:
Transmitter 1 has taken over the machine. Transmitter 2 is to be given control.
1. Enter the "Release" command on transmitter 1.
2. Switch transmitter 1 off.
3. Switch transmitter 2 on.
4. Enter the "Catch" command on transmitter 2 and actuate the start button.
Transmitter 2 now has sole access to all machine functions.
Notes:
If a receiver has already been adopted by a transmitter can be displayed via a lamp on the
machine.
If the operating voltage of the receiver fails, the receiver returns to the starting condition in
which it can be adopted by any transmitter. If necessary, the receiver must be adopted anew.
If the transmitter is deactivated without the command "Release" having been issued, the other
transmitters have no access to the receiver. The starting condition described above can only
be resumed by deactivating the operating voltage at the receiver.
Tandem Operation
Tandem Operation T1
The radio system consists of 1 transmitter and 2 receivers for 2
machines. The transmitter can control the machines individually or in
parallel
Tandem Operation T2
The radio system consists of 2 transmitters and 2 receivers for 2
machines. Both transmitters are master transmitters and can control the machines individually or in
parallel.
During normal operation transmitter 1 controls machine A and transmitter 2 controls machine B. In order
to be able to switch to machine B or A+B at transmitter 1, for example, the key must be removed from
transmitter 2 and inserted in transmitter 1.
Release machine
1. Turn the rotary switch to position "0 = Release".
Leave the rotary switch in this position for at least one second
The release applies to all active machines.
2. Switch the transmitter off.
The access rights for the machine(s) are cancelled. Machine control can be taken over by another
transmitter.
Operating Example:
Transmitter 1 has taken over machine A. Transmitter 2 is to be given control over machine A+B.
1. Turn the rotary switch on transmitter 1 to position "0 = Release".
Leave the rotary switch in this position for at least one second.
2. Switch transmitter 1 off.
3. Switch transmitter 2 on.
4. Turn rotary switch on transmitter 2 to A+B.
5. Actuate the start button.
Transmitter 2 now has sole access to all machine functions.
Attention:
If e.g. machine B and machine A were taken over (rotary switch position "B+A"), and correction
must be carried out with machine A (rotary switch position "A"), it is not ensured that machine B
remains taken over. If the rotary switch is turned from "B+A" to "A" and held in position "0 =
release" for longer than one second, both machines are released!
Notes:
If a receiver has already been adopted by a transmitter can be displayed via a lamp on the
machine.
If the operating voltage of the receiver fails, the receiver returns to the starting condition in
which it can be adopted by any transmitter. If necessary, the receiver must be adopted anew.
If the transmitter is deactivated without the command "Release" having been issued, the other
transmitters have no access to the receiver. The starting condition described above can only
be resumed by deactivating the operating voltage at the receiver.
radiomatic ® infrakey
The radio system can only be activated via an infrared
link between the transmitter and the receiver. This
increases the safety of operation, i.e. the machine can
not become inadvertently enabled.
®
Function of radiomatic infrakey with focus I
Notes:
The range of the infrared beam is max. 20 m (66 ft).
The angle of radiation is 34°.
The front panel of the receiver must be visible (only radiomatic ® infrakey internal).
Cable Control
With a cable you can generate a direct data connection
between the transmitter and receiver. The radio
transmission is disabled. At the same time, the power
supply of the transmitter is provided through the cable, as
well.
Notes:
If you connect the cable while working with the system, the Actuate the start button to switch
to cable operation.
When the system is in cable mode the transmitter will receive the supply voltage from the
receiver, i.e. the transmitter can be used without the battery.
If you disconnect the cable from the transmitter and receiver, the system will switch off
automatically. Actuate the start button to switch back to radio operation.
radiomatic ® masterkey
This option offers the possibility for the operator to easily exchange a defective transmitter for a spare
transmitter. radiomatic ® masterkey (key) holds all the pertaining system information such as frequency
and address code. When the radiomatic ® masterkey is inserted into the spare transmitter all necessary
information is transmitted.
Data transfer only works with transmitters that are equipped with this option. Otherwise the radiomatic ®
masterkey is only used for switching the transmitter on or off.
If a transmitter without radiomatic ® masterkey preparation is operated with a radiomatic ® masterkey
(mechanically the key has the same function), it will therefore continue to function with "its" internally
programmed receiver (see type plate).
Turn the union nut to the left Put the coding plug into the socket of
and pull out the coding plug. the spare transmitter and lock it by
turning the union nut to the right.
Notes:
Operation is not possible without coding plug.
If the coding plug is removed during operation the transmitter switches off immediately.
The coding plug is labeled with the fabrication number of the respective receiver.
Transmitter Key up
With the transmitter key up function, radio commands are only transmitted at the touch of a key and the
transmitter will automatically be switched off after 7 seconds of non-use. For example, self-monitoring
gates can thus be opened or closed by several operators.
During longer breaks the transmitter must be switched off by pressing the STOP switch.
The "transmitter key up" function also saves battery power.
Caution:
The transmitter key up function does not relieve the operator of his responsibility to turn off the
transmitter with the STOP switch when not in use.
Utilization of Button as Shift Key
The RPM+ and RPM– buttons have a dual function.
If the button is kept depressed and the RPM+ resp. RPM– button is also activated, the Motor Start
resp. Motor Step command will be output.
The symbols for the speed adaptation have the following meanings:
Feedback by LED
Using this function, system or machine data can be displayed on the transmitter by
LEDs.
If none of the measures mentioned resolve the problem, then please contact your service technician,
dealer or HBC-radiomatic GmbH.
Maintenance
The radio control system is virtually maintenance-free. Please observe the following points:
Check the STOP switch functionality at regular intervals. Dirt deposits on the switch can hinder the
mechanism and impair the function.
Check the rubber bellows or rubber seals of the operating elements at regular intervals for leak-
tightness. Replace immediately if cracks appear since the penetration of dirt and humidity may
damage the function of the operating elements.
Never use a high-pressure cleaner or sharp or pointed objects to clean the transmitter.
Charge and discharge transmitter batteries regularly.
Never try to repair the electronics of the radio control system! Opening the transmitter or receiver
housing terminates the manufacturer guarantee.
Send any defective or faulty equipment to your local distributor or to the manufacturer. They are
experts and have the necessary know-how and OEM spare parts.
Always send both transmitter and receiver and enclose a detailed description of the problem.
Do not forget to enclose your address and telephone number so that we can get in touch with
you quickly if necessary.
