4-3. Genera Operation
1) Turn on the main power switch of the equipment (Crane).
) Install four AA size batteries in the transmitter make sure the “+”and
“-” direction are correct.
3)Rotate “EMS” mushroom clockwise 45∘and pull out.
4)Turn the rotary key clockwise to "ON" position, then press the “Start”
pushbutton to Power-On.
5) Operate normally according to the function setting has done.
6) Please proceed the following procedure after operation.
a) Press EMS mushroom and turn the rotary key of the transmitter to

the key.
b) Switch off the main power switch of the equipment (Crane).
c) Remove the batteries when the equipment is not going to be in use
for a long period of time.
Note:
A) Four AA size batteries are required for the transmitter. There is a 3-
stage power indicating function with LED display.
“Green co or”: Sufficient power to operate transmitter.
“Ye ow co or”: Power is depleting. Operation must be stopped
immediately (for example: down the goods to ground) to replace
batteries.
“Red co or”: Insufficient power. Transmitter will send out an
emergency stop signal to the receiver due to insufficient power.
Operator should avoid this situation in order to maintain the safety of
operation.
B) Turn the rotary key of the transmitter to "OFF" position; it will not only
shut off the motion of the receiver but also save the power. Otherwise,
the transmitter will keep staying in the standby mode and causing
more power consumption.

4-4. The function of Copier
One can use the copier to pair a new transmitter or receiver, procedures as
follows:
1. Insert the six pins female plug of copier into the male socket inside the TX
or RX of SAGA1-L40.
. For copying and saving the data from TX or RX, put on the magnetic key
onto the receptor to connect; for transferring the saved data from copier
to TX or RX, release the magnetic key from the receptor.
3. Press and release “1” pushbutton (or , 3) to copy and save the data
(When magnetic key is on) from TX or RX, after the green indicator light
has flashed, the transfer is finished, disconnect the plug. Proceed the

magnetic key is off)
Note:
1. Make sure the power of TX or RX is “OFF” when copying.
.The copier for SAGA1- L40 (dual colors on the appearance) can also
be used for existing SAGA1-L4/6/8/6B/8B/L10/L1 .
3.The copier can copy both function settings and ID-Code, but to pair the
crystal is still essential to match both TX and RX for communicating
each other.
