1 Radio remote control description
1.1 How the radio remote control works
Industrial radio remote controls are used to control machines from a distance, without physical
connection between the user and the machine (i.e. wires or connecting cables). They consist
of a portable transmitting unit, from which the user remotely controls the machine, and a
receiving unit installed on board the machine itself.

AUTEC - Dynamic Series
1.3 Applications
Dynamic series radio remote controls can be installed on hoisting and material handling
machines and on machines for moving, raising and transporting people (e.g. hydraulic cranes,
aerial work platforms, telehandlers, concrete pumps).
Dynamic series radio remote controls cannot be installed:
-on machines working in zones with risk of explosion
-on machines where the receiving unit power supply does not come from
a battery or from a power supply unit with safety isolating transformer
-on machines that control loads that are not isolated from AC power
supply (if that is the case)
-on machines that may generate dangerous situations if they stop due
to the loss of radio link
-on machines for which a risk assessment (see chapter 2) is not possible
or gave negative results.
Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is installed on forbidden
applications.
1.4 Radio link
The transmitting unit constantly communicates with the receiving unit through a radio link.
This is an essential requirement to ensure safety for the radio remote controlled machine.
The two units use messages coded through an address that is unique (produced by Autec
only once), univocal (speci󰘰c for each radio remote control) and cannot be reproduced. Each
unit can only decode messages coming from the unit with the same address.
This prevents messages from other radio equipment from activating any "machine+radio
remote control" system function.
The units send coded messages to one another:
-messages sent by the transmitting unit contain operational commands to be carried out
by the machine
-messages sent by the receiving unit contain information useful for the automatic
management of the working frequency and information about measurements collected
from the machine (Data Feedback function).

LIDYNE00-07
1.5 Classi󰄈cationofcommands
Commands sent by the transmitting unit are classi󰘰ed according to their type.
1.5.1 Command type: analogue, digital or direction command
Commands sent by the transmitting unit can either be analogue or digital.
Analogue commands generate proportional outputs as a function of the position of the
corresponding actuator.
Digital commands switch the status of their corresponding output, according to the position
of the related actuator. This status can either be on or o󰘯.
Direction commands are digital commands paired with analogue commands, and are used
to specify the movement direction.
1.5.2 Name of commands
All commands sent by the transmitting unit are identi󰘰ed by abbreviations, which are written in
the technical data sheet to highlight the match between commands sent and machine functions.
1.6 Safety functions
Autec radio remote controls are equipped with some functions that provide high safety levels,
in order to safeguard the safety of people and property.
1.6.1 Stop function
The stop function brings the machine to a safe state every time it is necessary to stop it due
to a potentially hazardous situation. This function is either voluntarily enabled by the user
(active stop), as appropriate, or it cuts in automatically and autonomously (passive stop).
Active stop
Active stop is a function enabled by the STOP pushbutton (see paragraph 6.5) .
The transmitting unit sends to the receiving unit a command that immediately stops the
machine. When the STOP pushbutton is pressed, the machine stops in shorter time than
when passive stop cuts in.
Passive stop
Passive stop is a function that cuts in when a fault occurs during operation. When the radio
link is incorrect or interrupted, the receiving unit autonomously stops the radio remote control.
The cut-in time of this function (passive stop cut-in time) is set by the machine manufacturer
(see technical data sheet).

LIDYNE00-07
Radio remote control description
AUTEC - Dynamic Series
1.6.2 Protection against unintended movements from the standstill position (UMFS)
This safety function protects the system “machine+radio remote control” from unintended
movements, namely machine movements not activated intentionally by the user, but resulting
from possible electrical and mechanical failure of the radio remote control.
Such safety function checks the neutral (rest) position of the actuators that control the
machine's movements. Each time one of those actuators is operated, the transmitting unit
sends both the movement command and the “SAFETY” command. Depending on the speci󰘰c
application, and according to the receiving unit, outputs related to movement and SAFETY
command are wired in series; alternatively the SAFETY command's outputs drive the safety
device provided on the machine.
1.7 Identifying the radio remote control
As required by standard IEC 60204-32, each radio remote control is uniquely identi󰘰ed
through a serial number (S/N).
The serial number is provided in the identi󰘰cation plate on each radio remote control unit.
This is the only reference to be used both for maintenance operations and for declarations
to competent bodies.
Plates on the units must not be:
-removed from their position (removal voids the guarantee)
-altered or damaged (contact Autec for replacement)

AUTEC - Dynamic Series
Risk assessment 11
LIDYNE00-07
2 Risk assessment
When using and installing an industrial radio remote control it is therefore always necessary
to evaluate if the machine can be radio remote controlled.
In fact, as required by standards ISO 12100 and ISO 14121, all machines must undergo risk
assessment and related analysis.
The radio remote control can only be installed and used if this assessment gives positive results.
The machine manufacturer and/or the person who decides upon radio
remote control installation and use is responsible for this risk assessment.
Autec cannot be held responsible if this assessment has not been carried out correctly
or is incomplete.
If required by the risk assessment, implement protection measures to prevent, reduce and
report potential hazardous situations.
2.1 Risk assessment for radio remote controlled machines
When carrying out risk assessment for the machine or for the system where the radio remote
control is installed, the following must be considered:
-some machines cannot be radio remote controlled: check for forbidden applications (see
paragraph 1.3)
-the radio link between the two units may be interrupted due to persistent disturbance
or interference.
-all warnings related to installation, use and maintenance provided by Autec must be
taken into account
2.1.1 Aspects related to radio link
Whenever the radio link is interrupted (i.e. stop, low battery, automatic switch o󰘯, receiving
unit not powered):
-all outputs of the receiving unit are disabled
-it is not possible to enable or disable the machine commands through the transmitting
unit until the radio remote control is started up again.
2.1.2 Delay in command response time
Due to the characteristics of radio propagation (i.e.: EM interference, out-
of-working-range condition), a delay up to the "Passive stop time" may
occasionally occur from the moment a command in the transmitting unit
is released to the moment its corresponding output in the receiving unit
is deactivated.
Those who decide upon the installation of the radio remote control must make sure that this
delay never leads to a dangerous situation in the speci󰘰c uses.

Risk assessment
AUTEC - Dynamic Series
2.1.3 Protection from unintended activation
The transmitting unit housing is manufactured so that it protects the actuators from unintentional
activation, while meeting at the same time the operating needs, the comfort requirements
and law limits.
Assessment shall be made to establish possible additional protection measures for the
actuators (i.e. commands requiring two-hand operation, “dead-man” function) if particular
environments, equipment and working modes could cause accidental bumps to the actuators.
2.1.4 Command activation and loss of command
Please consider that it is possible to unintentionally activate a command and/or involuntarily
lose the selection of a command. Such anomalous events may be caused by electro-mechanical
or mechanical damages in the "machine+radio remote control" system.
Carefully evaluate the possible consequences of such malfunction.
If required by the risk assessment, implement protection measures to prevent, reduce and
report potential hazardous situations.
2.2 Sta󰓐training
All installation, usage and maintenance operations must be carried out by quali󰘰ed technicians
who are suitably trained with respect to:
-warnings resulting from risk assessment
-regulations and reference laws
-instructions and warnings provided in the documents related to the industrial radio remote
control and to the radio remote controlled machine
-instructions provided by those who install the radio remote control on the machine and
by the person in charge for safety in the workplace where the system "machine+radio
remote control" is used
2.3 Working conditions
To guarantee correct radio remote control operation, all current regulations regarding safety at
work and accident prevention should be respected. Furthermore, always respect all national
regulations regarding the use of both the machine and the radio remote control valid in the
country where the "machine+radio remote control" system is used.
Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is used in unlawful
working conditions.

Warnings for use 13
LIDYNE00-07
3 Warnings for use
In addition to all instructions provided by the machine manufacturer, by the installer of the
radio remote control and by the person responsible for the safety of the work area, users
shall always respect the following warnings.
3.1 Before starting to work
Stand in a position that allows the direct supervision of the remote controlled
machine and its load, and stay in a place ensuring the user's safety conditions
in respect of other operations and/or activities and/or processes that are
carried out in the working environment.
Always check that the mechanical operation of the STOP pushbutton is
correct.Ifitisimpossibleordi󰓑culttopressthispushbutton,donotuse
the radio remote control.
Never start up or use the transmitting unit if the working conditions present
the risk of losing balance or tripping.
Only start up the transmitting unit when starting work: improper use may
cause hazardous situations.
Never start up or use the transmitting unit in closed spaces, with the machine
not in sight, or outside the radio remote control working range: in such
cases it is in fact still possible to build a radio link, thus causing the risk
that unwanted commands be carried out by the machine.
Get familiar with the correspondence between the actuators and the
machine's movements (this is indicated in the attached technical data
sheet) and learn symbols on the transmitting unit's panel (symbols used
arede󰄈nedbythemachinemanufacturerand/orinstallerdependingonthe
machine's operation and functions).
3.2 During normal operation
Pay attention to the entire work area. Immediately press the STOP pushbutton
when a hazardous situation occurs.

14
LIDYNE00-07
Warnings for use
AUTEC - Dynamic Series
Visually and directly follow all movements of the machine and its load and
remain inside the radio remote control working range.
Pay particular attention to warnings and visual and acoustic signals, and
take all measurements and steps to avoid that movements of the remote
controlled machine may lead to hazardous situations for people and/or
property.
In case of malfunction, disable the system “machine+radio remote control”
until the problem has been completely solved.
Use the transmitting unit in a simple and comfortable way, avoiding accidental
falls. The waist belt and the shoulder harness provided with the radio remote
control are used for that purpose.
Do not touch the receiving unit’s metal parts as they may reach high,
potentially dangerous temperatures.
3.3 After using the radio remote control
Switch off the transmitting unit when work is stopped or temporarily
interrupted. Do not leave the load hanging (even when changing the battery).
Never leave the transmitting unit unguarded in order to prevent unauthorised
use.
If an "Key ID 0-1" is in the transmitting unit, always store it in a safe place
each time it is removed. If this key is lost, the radio remote control cannot
work, since the transmitting unit needs the address stored in the key to
work with its receiving unit.

LIDYNE00-07
Before any maintenance operation, remove the battery from the transmitting
unit and disconnect power supply from the receiving unit.
After each maintenance operation, always make sure that all commands sent
by the transmitting unit only activate the corresponding expected operations.
In case of malfunction or damaged parts, disable the system “machine+radio
remote control” until the problem has been completely solved.
After each maintenance operation, if a unit has been opened, close it
correctly, in order not to endanger its protection degree from dust and
water: check that the gasket is intact, correctly overlay the two parts of the
housing and tighten the screws.
4.4.1 Routine maintenance
Routine maintenance consists of operations needed to preserve the radio remote control
normal usage conditions, thus implementing 󰘰ne-tuning, checks, planned replacement actions
that necessarily arise from the normal use of the product.
All given instructions must be followed correctly at each commissioning, that is:
-whenever the radio remote control and/or the machine is installed or assembled
-whenever the machine location/position changes
-after special maintenance.
Routine maintenance carried out as described in this manual is fundamental for using the
radio remote control safely.
Special applications may need more speci󰘰c routine maintenance actions to be carried out
at di󰘯erent periods (i.e. if the working environment is particularly dirty, in case of heavy
applications or if the system is used very frequently, some maintenance actions may be
required more frequently, depending on the decision of the person in charge for safety in
the work site).
4.4.2 Daily routine maintenance

1 month If dirt and impurities are found,
and once a year anyway
Contacts of transmitting unit,
battery charger and battery weekly
If dirt and impurities are found,
and once every three months
anyway
Key ID 0-1 weekly
If dirt and impurities are found,
and once every three months
anyway
c. It is recommended to disconnect the cable control cable and to store it in a protected place when
it is not in use.
When carrying out this kind of maintenance operations, follow these recommendations:
-make sure that the surface of electrical connections is covered with a layer of grease
and add it if necessary
-contact the support service of the machine's manufacturer if evident oxidation is detected.
