2. USE INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The ELCA Radio System Type MITO is an innovative family of low-power industrial radio remote controls, used to control
appliances that do not require Stop safety function.
The ELCA Radio Remote Control System Type MITO is comprised of two main Units:
- a Transmitting Unit (AT) that sends the command selected by operator in the form of a sequence of digital data;
- a Receiving Unit (AR) that decodes the sequence of digital data for the machine to perform selected command.
The radio control system allows the operator free movement around the machine. The transmitting unit requires no cable
connections and the operator can stand at a safe distance from the machine, in a position affording a better view of
machine movements.
Each Radio remote control uses a unique identier code set at the factory that cannot be modied. This way, each
transmitting unit can only operate with the associated receiving units and will not conict with other radio remote controls.
One or more transmitting units can be associated to a given receiving unit through the identier code learn procedure.
Working frequency is automatically selected when the transmitter is activated from available low-noise frequencies. In
service, any persistent radio noise will automatically trigger a frequency change without interrupting operation.
The special LBT (Listen Before Transmit) Full Duplex technology used by the MITO system allows the selection of low-
noise frequencies, and also provides a 2-way communication link between transmitter and receiver, i.e. is capable of
handling feedback information from the receiver. Such two-way communication ensures full control of the machine, as
the receiver sends back an “acknowledge” signal after receiving each command to conrm that the command has been
carried out. If the transmitter receives no “acknowledge” signal, it stops transmission alerting operator to the fact the safe
transmission is not ensured.
The sophisticated signal coding / decoding protocol used by the system ensures high reliability of transmission data with
a Hamming distance of 10 and above.
Product not suitable for use on machines for lifting things, people and all those applications which require a STOP
command with safety function.
2.2 APPLICATIONS AND USE CONDITIONS NOT PERMITTED
The Radio Remote Control MITO, should NOT be used:
- for the control of devices in which both require the presence of a Stop safety command;
- for the control of devices for lifting persons;
- on machines that require the capability to operate in explosive atmosphere (ATEX);
- on equipment where the stop of the remote control is not sufcient to put in safety conditions the
driven machine, which can then be a possible cause of danger;
- on machines where risk analysis is not possible or has given negative results;

2.3 INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER AND SAFE USE
IMPORTANT ! Radio remote control user MUST:
-Check the correct mechanical operation of the STOP button before every operation.
-Check the correct operation of the control devices.
If there is a deterioration in the correct operation of the STOP button or functional abnormalities in the control devices, the
use of the radio remote control must be prohibited until the full restoration of the system’s functionality.
-Use the transmitter unit by holding it or fastening it to the body in a safe and stable manner to avoid it accidentally
falling.
-Be thoroughly familiar with the functions and features of the radio remote control and of the machine the receiving
unit is connected to.
-Before activating any movement of the machine, ensure that the operator’s position is such to ensure that:
-There is NO danger of tripping
-There is NO danger of loss of balance
-Allow to follow the movements of the machine and the load in view.
-Guarantee the safety conditions concerning those engaged in other operations, activities or work in the
work area of the machine and operator.
-Turn off the transmitting unit whenever the work is suspended, even momentarily, even if the device is equipped
with automatic shut-off.
-Switch-off the transmitting unit and disconnect the power supply of the receiver before performing any maintenance
on the radio remote control or on the machinery.
-Do not leave the transmitting unit unattended and switched on.
-Remember that the transmitting unit can operate the machine even when placed indoors and far from the receiving
unit, so improper use can cause severe damage to people and property
-Never wash the units with water jets, use a damp cloth only
-Do not use in shielded environments (e.g. inside the drum of the mixer).
-Charge the batteries in an environment that is not too hot, too cold, too humid or dusty.
-Keeping the batteries partially charged at all times can extend their useful life.
-Do not leave the batteries discharged for long periods.
-Charge the batteries at least once a year even if the unit has not been used since the last charge.
IMPORTANT ! The installer of the radio remote control must:
-Carry out a thorough risk assessment on the use of the machine with the radio remote control.
-Assess that there are no hazardous conditions in the event the radio remote control stops due to the loss of the
radio link.
-Do not install the radio remote control on machines to which the safety of moving, lifting or transporting people is
entrusted to the radio remote control.
-Do not install the radio remote control where explosion-proof characteristics are required of the radio remote
control (EX).
-Secure the receiver so that it is facing the transmitter in normal use.
-Ensure that there are no metal obstacles between the transmitter and receiver or obstacles that may interfere with
the transmission of electromagnetic waves.
-Choose the installation of the receiver in a vertical position and easily accessible for maintenance operations.
-Avoid that the receiver is subjected to strong vibrations. Use vibration dampers if necessary.
-Always make sure that the value of the supply voltage complies with the rated voltage indicated on the rating plate
of the receiver.
-Use multi-pole connectors for the electrical connection of the receiver to the machinery to allow easy removal if
required.
-Use cables of suitable section, max. 2.5 mm2.
-Connect the Stop circuit making sure that the current circulating therein does not exceed the value of the protection
fuse.
-Distribute the common wire to the functions interposing always the Safety relay.
-After installation check that the stop circuit works correctly.
-Check that all limit switched or load limiters are functioning correctly.
-Ensure that all manoeuvres are functioning correctly and are consistent with the symbols placed on the transmitter.

GENERAL FEATURES.
• Battery charge indication.
CONTINUOUS and DISCONTINUOUS Transmission mode (CT and DT).
When the battery is charged, the Check light blinks quickly (1 ash per second).
When battery charge is close to the limit under which safe command transmission is not ensured, the Check light
will blink more slowly than usual (approximately 1 ash every 2 seconds) for approximately 10 minutes before the
transmitter switches off. The transmitter will not switch on as long as battery charge is not sufcient to ensure safe
command transmission. Keeping the battery charged helps to increase its life cycles..
• Two different transmission modes:
CONTINUOUS Transmission mode (CT). DISCONTINUOUS Transmission mode (DT).
Command T12 (Start) activates radio transmission.
Command T1 (Stop) terminates radio transmission
and any output commands being sent by the receiver.
Transmission may also terminate automatically after 3 or
10 minutes of system inactivity, depending on preset auto-
shutdown time (see Paragraph 3.3).
Note: The START command involves turning on the
transmitter and the activation of the relays T12 and T1 on
the receiver. T1 (STOP) remains held until the end of the
transmission.
Operating any command when the transmitter is off will
activate radio transmission.
Commands T12 and T1 lose their Start / Stop signicance
and operate just like any other command. Transmission
terminates after 10 or 180 seconds of system inactivity,
depending on preset auto-shutdown time (see Paragraph
3.3).

2.6 STORING ACCESS CODES
In order to associate a transmitter to receiver, the transmitter access code needs to be stored in the receiver memory. The
access code is a unique code set at the factory that prevents the receiver installed on the machinery from responding to
any unauthorised transmitters. When several transmitters are registered in a receiver’s memory, the receiver will handle
transmitters on a rst-come-rst-served basis and the current transmitter will have exclusive access to the receiver until
transmission is terminated. Up to 20 access codes can be stored.

In addition, DO NOT:
- clean unit with jets of water or blow with compressed air.
2.8 INFORMATION FOR THE PROPER INSTALLATION OF THE RADIO
REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
System must be installed and serviced by qualied and trained personnel.
Proper installation of the radio remote control is critical to ensuring proper operation and ease of maintenance.
Following are a few recommendations to be followed before and after installation:
- Perform a careful risk analysis to determine whether the machine is suitable for working in conjunction with a radio
remote control and identify any residual risks. The manufacturer of the machine and / or the installer of radio remote
control is responsible for this analysis. The ELCA Company can not be held responsible for the operation of its system
on applications where the risk analysis was not carried out properly.
- Be aware that in case of interruption of the radio link for active stop, auto power off, low battery, power failure of the
receiver, radio range exceeded, interference, etc.. all the outputs of the receiver are turned off and it is no longer
possible to control the equipment until a further restart of the radio remote control. Carefully consider whether this can
be a danger.
- To obtain the maximum range, install the receiving unit between 2 and 10 metres above the ground and where there
are no obstacles between transmitter and receiver;
- install the receiving unit housing within easy reach to ensure safe access by repair or maintenance technicians;
- use multi-pin connectors to connect receiver to machine so as to facilitate replacement in the event of a failure;
- the place selected for receiving unit installation should be free from vibration: where this is not possible, use vibration
dampers;
- do not install the receiving unit inside metal casings that could affect its operation;
- ensure that there are no obstacles that could affect transmission between transmitting and receiving units: where
any obstacles cannot be eliminated, use the optional external antenna (special kit available) to ensure proper radio
communication;
- use cables with suitable cross-section area for wiring connections;
- be sure to connect power supply to the proper terminal;
- check for proper operation after installation.

Be careful when programming functions other than the original ones in customised radio remote controls or units that are
already installed on a machine, as the new functions might lead to abnormal operation of the machine. We advise against
programming or making programming tests on radio remote controls that are already installed on a machine.
In every MITO-MINI-915 with 4 buttons and in some MITO-MINI-915 with 8 buttons customized for specic applications,
access to programming mode is disabled. The programmable functions, if necessary, are preset by the manufacturer.
