SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Theory of Operation
The Hetronic radio remote control system includes a
transmitter and receiver. The transmitter electronically
generates a carrier frequency which allows it to
communicate with the receiver. Each system is
programmed with a unique address code. This code
allows the operation of multiple systems in the same
general vicinity. The receiver only accepts commands
from the transmitter with the same address code.
MFS Transmission Technology
All Hand-Held MFSHL systems utilize Hetronic’s
advanced Multiple Frequency Sharing (MFS)
technology. MFS technology allows for multiple
systems to operate on a single frequency in an
enclosed area with virtually no worry about same
system interference.
H-Link Technology
All Hand-Held MFSHL systems utilize Hetronic’s new
H-Link wireless system access and parameter
programming. H-Link allows for wireless access to all
system programming parameters via a Personal Digital
Assistant (PDA)/Pocket PC.
E-Stop Function
The most important feature of the radio remote control
system is the E-Stop. The transmitter sends the E-stop
status signal along with the specified crane/machine
function. This method confirms that ongoing operations
are safe. When wired correctly, pressing the E-stop
pushbutton opens the main contact output in the
receiver, causing all crane/machine motions to stop.
The receiver immediately goes into E-Stop.To restart
the system, disengage the E-stop button.
The E-Stop responds faster than any other function.
E-Stop must be disengaged before the system will
respond to any other signal.

The E-Stop is self-monitoring. The system performs a
self-test to ensure the E-Stop circuit is working
properly. If an error is detected, the system
automatically goes into Safe mode.
When the transmitter is turned on, it performs a
self-test to ensure that the circuitry is within designated
parameters. If an error is detected, the transmitter will
not transmit any signals.
Receiver Safe Mode
The following conditions cause the receiver to go into
its Safe mode:
• Radio signal interference
• Transmitter out of operating range
• E-Stop circuit failure
• Low battery sends E-stop after time out
When the transmitter is turned off (batteries removed),
there is no radio communication between the
transmitter and receiver.
Optional Cable Control
If at startup the unit detects that the cable control is
present, the unit will go to cable control mode. In this
mode, a cable is connected between the battery
compartment and the antenna port of the receiver. The
receiver supplies power to the transmitter and receives
data from the transmitter.
SAFETY ALERTS
Look for this symbol to point out
important safety precautions. They
mean:
Attention!
Personal Safety Is Involved!
Become Alert!
Obey The Message!
The safety alert symbol is used in decals on the unit
and with proper operation procedures in this manual.

OPERATION AND WORK AREA SAFETY
The work area must be free from obstacles, debris or
other tripping hazards. Avoid uneven work areas and
any rough terrain. Always be sure of your footing.
Be aware of overhead obstacles that may interfere with
crane/machine operation.
PROTECTIVE FEATURES
This radio remote control system is equipped with
electronic and mechanical safety features. Processing
control signals transmitted from other transmitters is
not possible, since transmission coding is unique to
each system.
These safety features help protect the operator, as well
as others within the work area. The crane/machine
functions can be stopped by pushing the emergency
stop button on the transmitter control panel
(EMERGENCY STOP).
NOTE: The receiver goes into E-stop immediately
after the E-stop button on the transmitter is activated.

Receiver Housing
The receiver wiring is critical for proper system
operation. Make all connections with good quality
contacts or solder joints to ensure proper electrical
contact.
Supply voltage and ground wiring are crucial and must
be connected to reliable connecting circuitry. Do not
use a chassis ground for this equipment. The ground
wire must be connected directly to the crane/machine’s
ground.
The output control signals to proportional controls
should be routed separately from any wiring that could
produce transient voltage interference. Interference or
"induced voltage spikes" could cause erratic
performance of the controls.
EXTERNAL ANTENNA INSTALLATION
If the receiver is to be mounted inside a control panel
or other enclosure, an external antenna will be
required. It can also be used where a standard antenna
is difficult to mount. For the best reception, the antenna
should point upward.
NOTE: Improper installation of the antenna can cause
intermittent signal loss.
Standard Antenna Extension
1. Unscrew the antenna from the receiver housing.
2. Connect the antenna to the antenna extension
assembly by the housing block.
3. Connect the otherend of the antenna cable to the
antenna base on the receiver housing.
4. Insert the mounting screws through the holes in
the housing block and tighten into the mounting
surface.
5. Bundle any excess antenna cable and secure
with tie wraps or equivalent.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT run the antenna cable with
power or control wiring. Intermittent signal loss will
result.
