1. INTRODUCTION
The Flex radio remote control systems are designed for control of industrial equipment and machinery such as
overhead traveling cranes, jib cranes, gantry cranes, tower cranes, electric hoists, winches, monorails,
conveyor belts, mining equipment and other material handling equipment where wireless control is preferred.
Each Flex system consists of a transmitter handset and receiver unit. Other standard-equipped accessories
include transmitter waist belt, spare transmitter power key, clear vinyl pouch, “AA” alkaline batteries, compass
direction decal sheet and user’s manual.
List of notable features include:
* 62 user-programmable channels – Advanced synthesized RF controls with 62 built-in channels;
there are no more fixed channel and fragile quartz crystals to break.
* Automatic channel scanning receiver – No more hassle of climbing up the crane to change receiver
channels.
* Over one million unique ID codes (20bit) – Each and every Flex system has its own unique ID
codes and serial number; no repeats.
* Advanced controls – The Flex system utilizes advanced microprocessor controls with 32bit CRC and
Hamming Code, which provide ultra-fast, safe, precise, and error-free encoding and decoding.
* Unique I-CHIP design – The I-CHIP functions in a way that is very similar to SIM cards used on
mobile phones, with the ability to transfer system information and settings from one transmitter to
another without the hassle of resetting the spares.
* Reliable push buttons – The in-house designed push buttons with gold-plated contacts are rated for
more than one million press cycles.
* Low power consumption – Requires only two “AA” Alkaline batteries for more than 100 hours of
operating time between replacements.
* Ultra-durable nylon and fiberglass composite enclosures – Highly resistant to breakage and
deformation even in the most abusive environments.
* Full compliance – All systems are fully compliant with the FCC Part-15 Rules, European Directives
(Safety, EMC, R&TTE, and Machinery), and Industry Canada Specifications (IC).

EQUIPMENT, ETC. A MECHANICALLY LOCKING INTERMEDIATE RELAY SYSTEM WITH SEPARATE POWER
CONSIDERATIONS MUST BE PROVIDED. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
2.2 GENERAL
Radio controlled material handling equipment operates in several directions. Cranes, hoists, lifting devices and other
material handling equipment can be large, and operate at high speeds. Quite frequently, the equipment is operated in
areas where people are working in close proximity to the material handling equipment. The operator must exercise
extreme caution at all times. Workers must constantly be alert to avoid accidents. The following recommendations have
been included to indicate how careful and thoughtful actions may prevent injuries, damage to equipment, or even save a
life.
2.3 PERSONS AUTHORIZED TO OPERATE RADIO CONTROLLED
CRANES
Only properly trained persons designated by management should be permitted to operate radio controlled equipment.
Radio controlled cranes, hoists, lifting devices and other material handling equipment should not be operated by any per-
son who cannot read or understand signs, notices and operating instructions that pertain to the equipment.
Radio controlled equipment should not be operated by any person with insufficient eyesight or hearing or by any person
who may be suffering from a disorder or illness, is taking any medication that may cause loss of equipment control, or is
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Flex 12EX System Instruction Manual

2.4 SAFETY INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDED TRAINING FOR
RADIO CONTROLLED EQUIPMENT OPERATORS
Anyone being trained to operate radio controlled equipment should possess as a minimum the following knowledge and
skills before using the radio controlled equipment.
The operator should:
have knowledge of hazards pertaining to equipment operation
have knowledge of safety rules for radio controlled equipment
have the ability to judge distance of moving objects
know how to properly test prior to operation
be trained in the safe operation of the radio transmitter as it pertains to the crane, hoist, lifting device or other
material handling equipment being operated
have knowledge of the use of equipment warning lights and alarms
have knowledge of the proper storage space for a radio control transmitter when not in use
be trained in transferring a radio control transmitter to another person
be trained how and when to report unsafe or unusual operating conditions
test the transmitter emergency stop and all warning devices prior to operation; testing should be done on each
shift, without a load
be thoroughly trained and knowledgeable in proper and safe operation of the crane, hoist, lifting device, or other
material handling equipment that utilizes the radio control
know how to keep the operator and other people clear of lifted loads and to avoid “pinch” points
continuously watch and monitor status of lifted loads
know and follow cable and hook inspection procedures
know and follow the local lockout and tagout procedures when servicing radio controlled equipment
know and follow all applicable operating and maintenance manuals, safety procedures, regulatory requirements,
and industry standards and codes
The operator shall not:
lift or move more than the rated load
operate the material handling equipment if the direction of travel or function engaged does not agree with what is
indicated on the controller
use the crane, hoist or lifting device to lift, support or transport people
lift or carry any loads over people
operate the crane, hoist or lifting device unless all persons, including the operator, are and remain clear of the
supported load and any potential pinch points
operate a crane, hoist or lifting device when the device is not centered over the load

Flex 12EX System Instruction Manual
December 2013
Page 10 of 48
operate a crane, hoist or lifting device if the chain or wire rope is not seated properly in the sprockets, drum or
sheave
operate any damaged or malfunctioning crane, hoist, lifting device or other material handling equipment
change any settings or controls without authorization and proper training
remove or obscure any warning or safety labels or tags
leave any load unattended while lifted
leave power on the radio controlled equipment when the equipment is not in operation
operate any material handling equipment using a damaged controller because the unit may be unsafe
operate manual motions with other than manual power
operate radio controlled equipment when low battery indicator is on
WARNING
THE OPERATOR SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR ANY RADIO CONTROLLER. IF ANY PRODUCT
PERFORMANCE OR SAFETY CONCERNS ARE OBSERVED, THE EQUIPMENT SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BE TAKEN
OUT OF SERVICE AND BE REPORTED TO THE SUPERVISOR. DAMAGED AND INOPERABLE RADIO
CONTROLLER EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE RETURNED TO MAGNETEK FOR EVALUATION AND REPAIR. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
2.5 TRANSMITTER UNIT
Transmitter switches should never be mechanically blocked ON or OFF. When not in use, the operator should turn the
transmitter OFF. A secure storage space should be provided for the transmitter unit, and the transmitter unit should always
be placed there when not in use. This precaution will help prevent unauthorized people from operating the material
handling equipment.
Spare transmitters should be stored in a secure storage space and only removed from the storage space after the current
transmitter in use has been turned OFF, taken out of the service area and secured.
2.6 PRE-OPERATION TEST
At the start of each work shift, or when a new operator takes control of the crane, operators should do, as a minimum, the
following steps before making lifts with any crane or hoist:
Test all warning devices.
Test all direction and speed controls.
Test the transmitter emergency stop.

4.1.1 System Channel Settings
(Fig. 07)
Set the transmitter channel by adjusting the channel dip-switch located on the backside of the
transmitter encoder board (refer to Fig. 07 above). Only the first six (6) positions are used for
channel programming (refer to Fig. 08 below). The system channels table located on page 38
illustrates which dip-switch setting corresponds to which channel. Once the transmitter channel
is altered make sure to change the receiver channel as well. The channel on both the transmitter
and receiver must be identical in order for the system to work. To change the receiver channel
please refer to page 29.
Example: Top slot →“1”
Bottom slot →“0”
(Fig. 08)
The above dip-switch setting “1 0 0 1 0 0” corresponds to “channel 36” in the system channels
table on page 38.
