INTRODUCTION TO E16 SERIES
Each E16 series radio remote control is in conformity
with the R&TTE 99/05/CE Directive and all its essential requisites.
Each radio remote control is also in conformity with the norms
given in the EC conformity declaration present in this manual.
Page 2
!
PERMITTED
USES: Material
lifting machines
(construction cranes,
industrial bridge cranes,
concrete pumps,
machines for
moving material in
general, . . . )
Industrial radio remote controls of the E16 series are
used to command machines from a distance. Each
industrial radio remote control is made up of a portable
transmitting unit, from which the user can remotely
control the machine, and a receiving unit installed on
board the machine itself.
The transmitting unit uses radio frequencies to
transmit a coded message which contains a value
called address. Each receiving unit can only decode
the messages coming from a transmitting unit with the
same address.
This excludes the possibility of an interference
activating any system function. If the radio frequency
transmission is disturbed, incorrect or interrupted, the
receiving unit autonomously stops the whole system.
To guarantee correct radio remote control operation, all current regulations regarding
safety at work and accident prevention should be respected. All current user country
national laws regarding the use of both the machine and the radio remote control MUST
ALWAYS be respected.
Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is installed on
applications that are different from those permitted or if used in working
conditions that do not respect prescribed standard.
LIE16MU1
!FORBIDDEN
USES: Machines
installed in areas
where equipment with
explosion-proof charac-
teristics are being used
Machines for moving,
raising and
transporting
people

!In any cases
of emergencies,
faults or damaged
parts, ALWAYS stop
the “machine + radio
remote control”
system until the
problem has
been solved.
!
Any
damaged parts
can ONLY be
replaced by authorised
Autec personnel, and
only using original
Autec spare
parts.

LIMITATIONS & AUTHORISATIONS
It should be remembered that in some countries
must be respected rules which control:
- the use and/or possession of a radio remote
control;
- the use of operational frequencies which have
not yet been harmonised in Europe.
!All the
indications that
must be observed
can be found in the
"Limitations & Autho-
risations" document,
which is included
in the product’s

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
CERTIFICATE OF GUARANTEE
TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
IDENTIFICATION PLATES
The conditions of the radio remote control guarantee are given in the “Certificate of
Guarantee” contained in this manual.
The electronic components which have a 3 year guarantee are: E16TXEU_,
E16RXEU_ and E16CHEU_.
The technical data sheet shows the wiring system between the receiving unit and the
machine. It should be compiled and checked by the installer, who has the responsibility
of correct wiring. Once all necessary checks have taken place the installer must sign the
technical data sheet, which must be kept with the user's manual (always keep a copy of
this data sheet in case it is needed for administrative purposes).
The radio remote control identification and approval data is given on plates that are on
both the transmitting unit and the receiving unit.
The plates MUST NOT be removed from where they are placed or damaged
otherwise the warranty will be forfeited.

SERVICE
!
No particular maintenance needs to be carried out on the transmitting unit, but the
following should be done in order to always keep it reliable and safe:
1) always store the unitin a clean dry place,
2) remove dust or accumulations of other material from the transmitting unit (never use
solvents or flammable and corrosive products),
3) make sure that the gaskets, bellows and the actuator hoods (joystick, selectors
and pushbuttons) are whole, soft and elastic, and that the symbols on the panel can
be seen clearly
4) make sure that thebattery seat is always clean
5) make sure that thebattery contacts are clean
6) check for signs ofdamage.
SERVICE
When it is necessary to carry out special maintenance (radio remote control repair and
replacement of damaged or faulty parts), do not contact anyone other than our
Assistance Service. In order to make the intervention faster and more reliable, please
help us identify the radio remote control correctly and completely by giving:
- the serial number
- the purchase date (given on the guarantee)
- description of the problem found
- the address and telephone number of the place where the radio remote control is being
used
- the name of the person to be contacted
- the name of the company that supplied the radio remote control.
Before calling the Assistance technicians, it is advisable to make sure that the
given instructions have been followed correctly.

To recharge a flat battery, proceed as
follows:
1. Insert the battery into its proper
battery charger, which should be
positioned in an area having a
temperature of between +5°C and
+35°C. The battery now starts charging,
a state signalled by the lighting up of the
“ON CHARGING” pilot light.
After a maximum of 4÷5 hours the
"END OF CHARGE" indicator switches
off: the battery is fully charged. Remove
the battery from the charger (if the battery
is not removed, charging continues in
maintenance mode).
2.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
The transmitting unit should be switched off each time
work is stopped by turning the ignition key to "O" and
extracting it (always put the key in a safe place).
The unit may also switch off if the battery is not sufficiently
charged and/or when the radio remote control is not used for
more than 7 minutes.

FREQUENCIES
With the transmitter unit ON
(flashing green LED), press
the STOP button.
Working frequency change process
Turn the STOP button in the
direction indicated and repeat
the power on and starting
procedure.
WORKING FREQUENCIES
AUTOMATIC SCANNING MODE
The radio remote control is usually programmed by the manufacturer in this mode: it can
therefore work in any of the available frequencies. In cases of interference or conflict with
other systems, this mode makes it possible to move the working frequency (see the
process explained below) without having to intervene inside either the transmitting or the
receiving units.
Each working radio frequency to which a
radio remote control can be programmed
belongs to the set of frequencies permitted
by national standards that are valid at the
moment of entry into the market.
Each radio remote control is programmed by
the producer in the AUTOMATIC scanning or
MANUAL selection mode.
!The
use of
433.050÷434.790 Mhz
band frequencies
has not yet been
harmonised in Europe:
check for possible
user’s country
limitations.
MANUAL SELECTION MODE
A radio remote control operating in MANUAL selection mode can operate at a specific
frequency.
In order to set the frequency selected the dip switch on the transmitter and receiver units
must be set.
To activate this means of operation contact authorisedAutec personnel.
N.B.: During the work frequency
changing process, the receiving
unit loses radioelectric
connection with the transmitting
unit. After starting, some
seconds may be necessary to
reset connection, therefore
keep the START button
pressed for about 8÷10
seconds.

TRANSMITTING UNIT DIAGNOSTIC
If the “machine+radio remote control” system does not start, check if the problem is caused
by the radio remote control or the machine. Before carrying out any verifications, check the
functioning of the machine with the cable control panel:
- if it does not switch on, the problem lies with the machine itself
- if it does switch on, the problem lies with the radio remote control. In this case, proceed as
follows:
ENGLISH
Is the led on with
a steady light?
Is the STOP
button or one
of the movement
actuator inserted?
Release it/them
The battery is
discharged:
replace it with one
that is charged.
