6 General operating instructions
Starting up the radio remote control consists in building a radio link between the transmitting
and the receiving unit.
6.1 Starting up the radio remote control
As required by standard IEC 60204-32, the radio remote control start up is
protected in order to prevent unauthorised use of the machine.
A removable key called Air-KEY guarantees such protection. The radio
remote control cannot work without it.
If the risk assessment requires further protection of the radio remote control
start up, the PIN CODE may be activated.
6.1.1 Start up through Air-KEY (factory setting)
When the receiving unit is powered on, perform the following procedure:
1. Insert a charged battery in the transmitting unit (see paragraph 7.1.1)
2. insert the Air-KEY in the transmitting unit (see paragraph 7.2.1)
3. press the START pushbutton until the green LED blinks slowly.
6.1.2 Start up through Air-KEY and PIN CODE
The PIN CODE provides further protection against unauthorized use of the radio remote control.
It consists of a sequence of commands to be carried out by activating the corresponding
actuators during start-up. The radio remote control will start up only with the correct sequence.
The procedure to enable and modify a PIN CODE is provided in the document “Menu of
Transmitting Unit (MTU)”; you can 󰘰nd this document in the dedicated section on Autec's
website.
When the receiving unit is powered on, perform the following procedure:
1. Insert a charged battery in the transmitting unit (see paragraph 7.1.1)
2. insert the Air-KEY in the transmitting unit (see paragraph 7.2.1).
Consider that the transmitting unit will switch o󰘯 if more than 3 seconds have
passed between the activation of an actuator and the following one.
3. press the START pushbutton until the green LED illuminates
4. activate the commands corresponding to PIN CODE in the correct sequence (PIN 1, PIN
2 and PIN 3 given in the technical data sheet).
a. PIN 1 shall not be included in the start up procedure if it coincides with the START
command.
b. PIN 3 shall not be included in the start up procedure if it coincides with the START
command.
5. press the START pushbutton until the green LED blinks slowly.

LIAJSE00-00

6.2 Command activation
With the radio remote control started, act on the joysticks, pushbuttons and switches
corresponding to the command to be performed.
The user must be properly trained about the symbols on the transmitting unit panel, to be
aware of the matching between actuators and movements on the machine (symbols used are
de󰘰ned by the machine manufacturer according to the functions of the machine).
6.3 Data Feedback Function
The user receives information and/or signals concerning the controlled machine by means
of the Data Feedback function.
During normal radio remote control operation, pay particular attention to the indications
displayed and signalled by the display or through the LEDs: they can be helpful to evaluate
the machine working status.
Any information shown and signalled on the display or through the LEDs
can never be considered or used as a safety signal or for legal metrology.
When operating and moving the machine, remember that the radio remote
control does not intervene autonomously when potential hazardous situations
are displayed and signalled.
6.3.1 Operation with display
If the transmitting unit has a display, it is possible to show signal icons, measurements
collected from the machine and their description.
Information displayed and how it is displayed (icons and/or measurements and/or descriptions)
depend on the settings chosen by the machine manufacturer.
The battery level and the quality of the radio link are also always indicated.
6.3.2 Operation with LED
If the transmitting unit has an LED array, speci󰘰c machine conditions are signalled if they
are on (i.e. load limits, limit switch, …).
The signalled conditions depend on the settings chosen by the machine manufacturer.

6.4 Radio link interruption
When the radio link is incorrect or interrupted, the receiving unit autonomously stops the
radio remote control.
The green LED on the transmitting unit switches from blinking slowly to fast blinking or
steady on.
Press the START pushbutton to start the radio remote control.
6.5 Transmitting unit automatic switch o󰓐
The transmitting unit automatically switches o󰘯 when:
-the battery is 󰘱at (see paragraph 6.5.1)
-the radio remote control is not used for a certain time (see paragraph 6.5.2)
Press the START pushbutton to start the radio remote control.
6.5.1 Low battery
The transmitting unit indicates if the battery is not su󰘲ciently charged (the red LED blinks fast).
-The red LED blinks slowly (one blink per second): the battery has a 2 hour run time from
the 󰘰rst signal.
-the red LED blinks fast: the battery has a 10 minute run time from the 󰘰rst signal, after
which the transmitting unit automatically switches o󰘯.
The battery needs to be replaced with a charged one (see paragraph 7.1).
6.5.2 When the transmitting unit is not used
If the transmitting units remains started with no enabled commands, it will automatically
switch o󰘯 after a predetermined time frame.This time frame is provided in the technical data
sheet (SWITCH-OFF).
Before the transmitting unit switches o󰘯 automatically, the green and red LEDs blink alternating
for 30 seconds.
6.6 Switching o󰓐 the transmitting unit
The transmitting unit shall be switched o󰘯 each time work is stopped: remove the Air-KEY
(see paragraph 7.2.2) and always store it in a safe place.

7.2 Air-KEY
In the transmitting unit, the radio remote control address is stored in the Air-KEY. For this
reason, the radio remote control cannot work without this key.
The Air-KEY can only be used in the transmitting unit of the radio remote
control where it belongs.
As the radio remote control address is stored in the Air-KEY, use it with
utmost care to reduce risks that may result from incorrect handling.
7.2.1 Air-KEY insertion
Perform the following operations to insert the Air-KEY:
1. push the Air-KEY inside the corresponding housing
2. rotate the Air-KEY clockwise.
7.2.2 Air-KEY removal
Perform the following operations to insert the Air-KEY:
3. rotate the Air-KEY anticlockwise
4. pull the Air-KEY to remove it from the corresponding housing.
7.2.3 BACK-UP UNIT
If the main transmitting unit cannot be used because it has been lost or damaged, it can be
replaced with a transmitting unit called "BACK-UP UNIT".
It is identical to the unit that cannot be used anymore; the only di󰘯erence is the presence of
the plate “BACK-UP UNIT” on the battery housing.
Insert in the "BACK-UP UNIT" the Air-KEY of the transmitting unit that cannot
be used any longer and perform the address storage procedure.

Address storage
When the battery is charged and the Air-KEY is in the "BACK-UP UNIT", perform the following
procedure to store the address:
1. press the START pushbutton until the green and the red LEDs illuminate and an acoustic
signal sounds
2. wait until the green LED blinks slowly
3. within 3 seconds, activate in sequence the commands corresponding to PIN 1, PIN 2 and
PIN 3 that compose the PIN code given in the technical data sheet.
If the PIN code is incorrect, the red LED illuminates and the transmitting unit switches o󰘯. In
this case, the storage procedure shall be repeated.
If the PIN code is correct, the green LED turns steady on and the transmitting units switches
o󰘯: this indicates that the address has been stored in the "BACK-UP UNIT". It is now
possible to start the radio remote control and control the machine with the "BACK-UP UNIT"
transmitting unit.
7.3 START pushbutton
