4 Radio Remote Control features
Dynamic+ series' Radio Remote Controls are used to control Machines from a distance,
without physical connection (by way of example: wires or connecting cables) between the
Transmitting Unit handled by the User and the Receiving Unit installed on the Machine, hence
between the User and the Machine.
They consist of a portable Transmitting Unit, from which the User can remotely control a
Machine, and a Receiving Unit installed on board the Machine itself.
Images of the single Units belonging to the Radio Remote Control can be found in the speci󰘰c
manual that refers to each Unit.
4.1 Description of radio link
The Transmitting Unit communicates with the Receiving Unit through a radio link. Such
link must be continuous to promote safety in the use of the Machine. Each time this link is
incorrect or interrupted, the Receiving Unit stops the Radio Remote Control command and
instructs the Machine to stop: the Machine stops only if the wiring between the Receiving
Unit and the Machine itself is made in a correct manner.
The two Units in a Radio Remote Control encode their messages through an address that is
unique (produced by Autec only once and non repeatable for other Radio Remote Controls)
and univocal (speci󰘰c for each Radio Remote Control and associated to it).
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 radio link is interrupted in the following cases:
-stop (see paragraph 4.2.2),
-low battery,
-automatic switch o󰘯,
-no power supply in the Receiving Unit,
-out of working range condition (see paragraph 4.3),
-presence of metal obstructions.
WARNING: The maximum working range may vary significantly and
unpredictably when special conditions occur in the working environment
(by way of example: temporary presence of electromagnetic interference
and/or metal obstructions).
When a radio link is interrupted:
-all outputs in 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.

Radio Remote Control features
AUTEC - Dynamic+ series

4.2 Control devices
4.2.1 Start up and switch o󰓐
Start up and switch o󰘯 functions are described in chapter "General instructions for operation"
included in "Part C" of the Instruction Manual. Therefore, please refer to that part of the Manual.
4.2.2 Stop
The stop is a safety function that brings the Machine to a safe state every time it is necessary
to stop it due to a potentially hazardous situation.
The stop function may activate:
-Manually (active stop): the User activates the stop function pressing the red STOP
pushbutton on the Transmitting Unit.
-Automatically (passive stop): the Receiving Unit autonomously activates the stop function
if the radio link is incorrect or interrupted.
THE USER MUST AT ALL TIMES PAY FULL ATTENTION TO THE SAFE

INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS PROVIDED IN THIS MANUAL AND WITH THE
MANUAL, INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS FOR THE MACHINE AND WITH

The stop function by means of Radio Remote Control is available only if the Radio
Remote Control is started up (see "Starting up the Radio Remote Control" in the
"Part C" of the Manual).
Never leave the Transmitting Unit unguarded in order to avoid uncertainty
about the availability or unavailability of the stop function.
The “life time”, as de󰄈ned in international standards and requirements, of
the stop function is 20 years. In any case, the Radio Remote Control must
be replaced within this period. The “life time” must not be considered as
a warranty period.
After the activation of the STOP on the Transmitting Unit, the Machine is
not controlled by the Radio Remote Control any more. Any possible risks
that may arise from the activation of the stop function must be taken into
account by the Installer and the User of the Radio Remote Control, and by
the Manufacturer and the Owner of the Machine where the Radio Remote
Control is installed.
