3 System Description
The LRC-S Operator Control Unit (OCU) is part of a remote control system that can be made to serve a wide
range of applications, from standard electric overhead traveling (EOT) cranes through highly customized cranes
and machines.
The LRC-S OCU and its chosen, matching Machine Control Unit (MCU) can be factory manufactured to match
the exact requirements of an individual customer.
LRC-S remote control systems offer the safety and dependability required for industrial control applications with
reversing motor control such as overhead cranes, conveyors, etc. The remote control system described in this
manual incorporates high-performance, safety-critical design for maximum safety. Each system includes one or
more OCUs and one or more MCUs.
3.1 The Hand-Held Operator Control Unit (OCU)
The LRC-S OCU is a lightweight, ergonomic, hand-held OCU designed to withstand tough industrial environments
which may include humidity, oil, vibrations, shock and wide temperature fluctuations.
Each OCU is configured and manufactured to satisfy a specific control application. Referring to Figure 1, an
LRC-S1 OCU incorporates the following controls and indicators:
•Two joysticks
•One ‘STOP’ switch
•Five definable pushbutton switches
•One multicolor ‘STATUS’ LED
•Six function LEDs
•One predefined ‘HORN’ pushbutton switch
•One predefined Power ‘ON/OFF’ pushbutton switch
•One internal acoustic buzzer
•One optional LCD screen
Each OCU comes with a sheet of adhesive labels (Part Number 3LBL-9121-B102), shown in Figure 2, that can be
used to identify the product’s switches and features. Remove each applicable label and adhere it to the
appropriate area of the OCU membrane as illustrated in Figure 3.

Version 2.0
Note: Do not swap the OCU and MCU TransKeys. The OCU (transmitter) TransKey is black. The MCU
(receiver) TransKey is yellow. Swapping TransKeys results in OCU/MCU fault indications and the
system will not operate.
LRC-S OCUs are equipped with an internal antenna with a typical operating range in excess of 120 m (400 ft)
uninterrupted line-of-sight. Understand that the operating range varies with environmental conditions and the
selected radio module. Should the OCU go out of operating range, all motions on the crane or controlled machine
will stop.
All LRC-S OCUs are powered by rechargeable 4.8 V, 1600 mAh, Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery packs.
A worldwide, all-purpose, plug-in battery pack charger, complete with battery adapter, is provided with the unit.
This allows Ni-MH battery packs to charge from a power source between 100 to 240 VAC at 50-60 Hz.
LRC-S OCUs are normally hand carried by the operator. Referring to Figure 5, an optional body carrying strap
(Part Number MT 006-00295) is available on request.
