2.1 Safety Considerations
1. The safety guidelines in this manual are not intended to replace any rules or regulations or any applicable
local, state, or federal governing laws. The following information is intended to be used in conjunction with
other rules or regulations already in existence. It is important to read all safety information before operating
any wireless radio remote control system.
2. Only properly trained persons designated by management should be permitted to operate wireless radio
controlled equipment. Wireless radio controlled equipment should not be operated by any person who
cannot read or understand signs, notices and operating instructions that pertain to the equipment.
3. Wireless radio controlled equipment should not be operated by any person with insufficient eyesight or
hearing or by any person who may be suffering from a disorder or illness or is taking any medication that
may impair judgment or the ability to operate equipment.
4. Do not use this device during electrical storms or under conditions of electrical interference, due to the
potential for equipment communication issues. Ensure transmitter batteries are in good condition and power
for receiver is correct. Installation and maintenance should be done only while the controlled equipment
main power and receiver’s power are off and locked out to prevent electrical shock.
5. Any person operating wireless radio controlled equipment should possess the following knowledge
and/or skills:
• Knowledge of hazards particular to the equipment being operated
• Knowledge of safety rules for radio controlled equipment
• Knowledge of standard methods of hand and/or non-verbal signaling
• Knowledge of the radio transmitter
• Limit switch test procedure
• Proper clearance of all moving parts on the radio controlled equipment
• Proper storage space for radio control transmitter when not in use
• Transferring radio control transmitter to another person
• Reporting unsafe or unusual operating conditions
• Remote controlled equipment capacity and limitations
• Procedures for testing controlled equipment
6. Aisles between equipment, stock, etc., should be free of obstructions so the radio control operator can
move freely. These aisles should meet local regulations.
7. Radio controlled operators should always position themselves for the best view of the equipment they are
controlling. The equipment should never be operated blindly. The operator should always remain at a safe
distance, without losing line of sight with the equipment.
8. Transmitter switches should never be mechanically blocked ON or OFF for any equipment motion. When
not in use turn the transmitter OFF (RED MUSHROOM PUSHBUTTON) and remove the transmitter key.
9. After daily operation, shut off main power in crane/machine, the power to the receiver, and remove
transmitter key. A secure storage space should be designated for the transmitter unit especially when not in
use. This precaution is intended to prevent unauthorized use of the equipment.
10. The equipment operator should keep all body parts away from any moving parts and should never be
positioned under a lifted load. Do not make a lift or move a load if anyone is in a location where they could

4.0 Installation Procedures
4.1 General Precautions
1. Observe all safety precautions when climbing or working on the machine.
2. Turn off the main power source of crane/machines before installation to avoid electric shock.
Lockout/tagout the main power source.
3. Receiver must be installed as to not touch any part of the crane/machine or structure during the operation,
except for mounting provisions.
4. The receiver must be fastened securely via shock-proof mount provided.
5. Before installation, inspect the crane/machine’s safety devices and make sure everything is in proper
working condition.
6. Make sure you understand the crane/machine circuits and power distribution as well as the function
setting of this remote controller, to avoid incorrect wiring.
7. To avoid any interference, the receiver must be located away from motors, frequency drives, and power
cables (shown below).
8. Coil suppressors are recommended on all contactor coils and relay coils. Control Chief
recommends RC type suppressors. (Control Chief part number 0700-8002)
9. The receiver should be installed on the exterior surface of the electrical control box. Mounting the
receiver inside the electrical control box is not correct. An external antenna kit must be used when the
receiver is installed in a metal enclosure.
4.2 Receiver Preparation
4.2.1 Installation Preparation
1. Read through the following steps and procure all proper tools to complete this installation.
2. Select a proper location.
a. Select a stable place free from electrical
noise, vibration, excessive heat, etc.
b. Select a place where you can see the
receiver or antenna from the operator’s
position.
c. Select a place where there is no
interference (e.g. keep away from motors,
relays, magnetic switch, and power
cables).
d. Keep away from high voltage wiring and
devices.
e. The Receiver’s box must be at least
1.5” (4cm) away from other
obstacles.
3. Receiver Power Supply
NOTE 1: The input power source for the receiver
can be 48VAC, 110VAC, 220VAC 50/60Hz
(For 12/24VDC please contact Control
Chief).
NOTE 2: The Factory Default is 110VAC
a. Measure your supply voltage, it must be within 10% of the selected nominal
voltages; failure to do so will void the warranty.
b. Modify Power Supply Connection: After the desired power supply is confirmed,
disconnect the transformer plug from the 110V connector, located in the lower left
corner of the relay module board, and insert it into the correct connector on the relay
module. Verify the plug is inserted correctly.

WARNING
All / any receiver generated magnet lifting functions will be momentary in nature and cannot be maintained
in the event of a power loss or fault condition. Customer MUST supply externally latching magnet circuit.
The primary supply and control voltage for any external latching magnet circuit should be derived from a
separately fused source. This supply should not be drawn from the receiver or any circuit controlled by
the MLC (Main Line Contactor).

4.2.2 Installation Procedure
1. Turn off the main power for crane or device.
2. Find a proper place for the receiver as detailed in the previous section.
3. Drill a hole for the 8mm stud; mount the receiver with 8mm diameter hex nut.
4. Connect wires to the control circuit of crane according to the receiver’s wiring diagram and
control circuit diagram. The best place to connect the receiver is usually where the manual
controls are connected to the machine controls.
5. Secure the cables between the receiver and crane so that the cable sheath will not wear out due
to vibration of the crane. Check all connections. Properly terminate unused wires.
6. Turn on the main power for crane.
7. Install transmitter batteries per section 4.4 and then operate the transmitter to test every function
and make sure all motions are correct (read by LED indicator).
8. This completes the installation of receiver.
4.3 Radio Schematics
Figure 4.3
4.4 Transmitter Setup
1. Place batteries into the transmitter in the proper direction.
NOTE:
It is necessary to provide
proper external fusing on
all required commons in
accordance with the
relay’s power handling to
avoid damage to the
receiver and voiding of the
warranty.
