OPERATING MANUAL JUPITER ERA 100/150J
!The equipment has to be controlled by a qualied operator
1 MAINTENANCE
To maintain availability and operational safety, a regular maintenance is
necessary on the system.
Daily Maintenance
Before each use of the transmitter, check the following items for faults or damages:
• Visual inspection of rubber sealing around levers
• Broken/faulty switches or controls
• Visual inspection of transmitter housing (cracks, dents)
• Visual inspection of carrying device
• Visual inspection of battery (cracks, dents)
• Test that the battery lock is functioning normally
• Test of safety stop button (it shall be intact and easy to move)
Check function of:
• Check function of transmitter status indicator, continious yellow at power up
If there is any damage or fault contact an authorised service technician.
Weekly Maintenance
• Clean the battery contacts and the contacts on the transmitter and charger
• Clean the transmitters control panel and check that the print is still readable
!For cleaning use a dry cleaning cloth, if necessary use a wet cleaning cloth
and a soap solution. Never use an alcohol-based product for cleaning;
it can seriously damage the plastic.

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.

6 SELECTION 1, 2, A, B OR 1+2+A+B (Era 150J only)
Set toggle switch / / / to ON (1) for selection 1/2/A/B.
For deselecting, reset the corresponding switch to OFF (0).
7 SIREN
A signal can be emitted at any time during the run and sounds as long as the
push button is depressed.
!
Risk of high sound level, hearing protection required.
8 TRANSMITTER & MAIN CONTACTOR OFF
To deactivate the MC press down the on/o button once time quickly. To
turn o the transmitter press down an hold down the on/o button which
switches o the transmitter, and also the main contactor in the receiver is
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.
• Removethebatteryfromthechargerwhenthepowersupplyisturnedo󰀨
• A well maintained battery is necessary for faultless operation.
!The battery must not be charged if the temperature is lower than
+10ºC or higher than +45ºC.
!Only use chargers approved by Åkerströms.

Warning! If an incorrect battery type is used in the unit,
the battery may explode.
