2 STARTTHETRANSMITTER&ACTIVATETHEMAINCONTACTOR
Press the on/o button (note that the safety STOP button must be pulled
out), the transmitter makes a self-test for 5 seconds. The status indicator
(BAT) starts blinking, the transmitter has been activated.
When the transmitter is activated, press down button . This will activate
the main contactors in the receiver and in turn the main contactor of the crane.
The system is now ready for operation.
3 NORMAL OPERATION
The transmitter is designed with two joysticks:
One for Bridge/Trolley travel and the other for Hoist motions, each direction
being divided into 2 steps (a perceptible resistance) which facilitates the run-
ning at a certain speed. The size and direction of the joysticks movements are
equal to the speed and direction of the objects motions. Bridge and Trolley
can be run simultaneously with the same joystick. The motion stops when the
joystick is brought to neutral, if not depress the safety STOP button.
4 SLOW SPEED (MICRO) OPERATION
Set the selector switch for - Slow/ -Normal/ -Extra in position Slow.
The objects motion will now only operate at a factory pre-set slow speed re-
gardless of the movements of the joystick. The joystick movements are also
interlocked during this time so that only one movement can be operated at a time.
5 EXTRA
This is an optional feature that can be activated in addition to the normal func-
tions. The function is obtained immediately when the toggle switch is actuated
in position. The normal functions are not aected.

deactivated (the main contactor of the crane gets de-energised). The status
indicator light goes out.
9 STOP (EMERGENCY)
Depress the safety STOP button for stop.
10 AUTOMATIC SWITCH-OFF FUNCTION
The transmitter is equipped with an automatic switch-o function, switching
o transmitter after 2, 5, or 15 minutes after the latest use. It is also possible
to set the transmitter for continuous operation. The status indicator for opera-
tion goes out and the main contactor is deactivated upon automatic switch-o.
See the installation manual for instruction how to set the automatic switch-o
time. For renewed activation of the main contactor a restart is required. Low
battery voltage also causes automatic switch-o.

13 BATTERY
The transmitter is equipped with a status indicator showing battery status.
The indicator blinks slowly green when the battery voltage is normal, but
starts to blink rapidly yellow, when it gets low. When the indicator has started
blinking rapidly yellow, the transmitter can be operated for approximately
15-30 minutes before the voltage is so low that the transmitter switches o
automatically.
Disposal of a Li-Ion battery poses a smaller threat to the environ-
ment when compared to other battery types. All used Li-Ion bat-
teries should be immediately sent to a qualied battery collection
centre for recycling.

15 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CRANE OPERATORS
These instructions have to be followed.
!
Check that the radio transmitter operates on the crane that you are going to
operate (ex. give a signal). Check all functions of the radio transmitter.
!
Check that no unauthorized person is on or near the crane when you start to
operate it. Any blocking device at the entry of the crane should be closed.
!
Check the position of the symbols for operating direction (crane-trolley-
travel).
!
At the beginning of each shift the crane operator is to test all brakes, limit
switches and emergency stop functions as well as the STOP button on the
transmitter.
!
The crane operator should when operating the crane stand at a suitable
distance from the crane hoist in order to have adequate overview of the
operation.
!
It is prohibited to move the crane load over oneself or coworkers. Signal in
order to warn others.
!
Avoid driving into end stops since equipment and goods can be damaged.
!
Check your own free passageway in order to avoid tripping over material
on the ground when you operate the crane. Keep the workplace in good
order.
!
If you loose control of the crane movements, release the joysticks to obtain
the zero position in order to stop the crane. If the crane still does not stop,

TANDEM AND MULTI-OPERATOR OPERATION
(Only Era 150J)
16 TANDEM OPERATION
Tandem operation means that two cranes can be operated from the same trans-
mitter, which makes it easier, for example to lift two objects simultaneously
or a big object using two cranes. The function of the transmitter for tandem
operation is dierent from the standard.
17 MULTI-OPERATOR OPERATION
Multi-operator operation means that two transmitters can operate the same
object. This can be benecial, for example, when the view is blocked. The
control of the object can be passed between two transmitters. Active crane
selection and deselection guarantees that only one transmitter is in control of
the object at a time. The function of the transmitter for multi-driver operation
is dierent from the standard.
18 START THE TRANSMITTER & ACTIVATE MC
The following procedure has to be followed when starting the transmitter:
1. Make sure no joysticks are moved.
2. Presstheon/o󰀨button (note that the safety STOP button must
be pulled out).
3. The status indicator should show slow blinking green.
4. Check that the crane/cranes are free to operate.
5. Selectcrane/s.Thersttransmitterthatmaketheselectioncanoperate
the crane/s and the other transmitter will automatically be blocked.
