The function of this system is only ensured with the components in
the specified layout to one another. Otherwise, severe malfunctions
may occur. Thus, the installation information on the following pages
must be followed.
The local installation regulations ensure the safety of electrical
systems. They are not considered in these operating instructions.
However, they must be met.
Electrical connections must be implemented by an expert.
All system components are sensitive components that can be
damaged in the case of improper installation! Installation must be
performed by trained service personnel!

3 Product Information
3.1 Functional Description
The FMS-cradleGUARD consists of two different system components. A transmission module
(FMS-cradleGUARD.T) per cradle contains terminal blocks for up to 3 sensors and the radio
module. The radio frequencies can be clearly separated and ensure operational safety. The
receiver module (FMS-cradleGUARD.R) outside of the machine receives the signals of the
individual transmission modules and indicates their status in plain text on the display. The
integrated relay outputs can be connected directly to the PLC and a warning indicator. The
system can be conveniently configured via the web interface using a browser.
3.2 System Requirements
The FMS-cradleGUARD is an independent system. Respective sensors must be present on the
machine.

4 Installation
4.1 As-delivered Condition
FMS-cradleGUARD.R Receiver Module
- IP address 192.168.000.090
- Radio channel preset
FMS-cradleGUARD.T Transmission Module(s)
- Radio channel preset
- To keep them apart, the individual transmission modules are labeled with individual ID.
The ID can be found on a label on the housing.
- The batteries are enclosed and must be inserted.
4.2 Preparation
When installing the system components, the following conditions must be met to ensure
proper function.
The components may not be subjected to loads outside of the
specified values during installation and operation later.
The fastening points for supporting the components must be
designed correctly. Pay attention to proper installation of the FMS-
cradleGUARD.T transmission modules on the machine.
The sensors must be connected electrically correctly.
4.3 Installation of the FMS-cradleGUARD.T Transmission Module
The receiver modules must be installed on the cradle on a flat surface. The contact surfaces
must be as even as possible.
Use the enclosed fastening brackets for installation.

cradleGUARD.R
Item Description
1 Cover in front of battery compartment
2 Mounting bracket (2 pcs)
3 Cover with PG gland for electrical connections
Table 2: FMS-cradleGUARD.R
Battery access
Ensure easy access to the battery when selecting the installation
location.
Installation direction
During alignment of the housing, make sure that the side with the
electrical connections points downward if possible.
In the case of small machines and light
-
weight cradles, make sure
that the additional weight of the transmission module may have to
be compensated to avoid any imbalance.
We recommend a centered installation of the receiver modules on
the cradle to avoid this effect.
4.4 Electrical Connection of the FMS-cradleGUARD.T Transmission Module
We recommend a cable with 3 x 0.5 mm
2
for the sensor connection. The cables must be
routed separately from power cables.
If you choose to use the 24 VDC power supply, please make sure to use a cable 3 x 0.5 mm
2
.
First, remove the cover on the connection side. Next, the board with the terminal blocks can
be pulled as far as it goes.

connection.
4.4.1 Connection of Sensors and Switches
Proximity switch
When proximity switches are used, the time delay before availability)
must be ≤50 ms.
The power supply to the switch is 12 VDC. Switches with a typical
power supply (e.g. 10 to 30 VDC) can be used.
