1、Safety instructions
¾Read through these operating -manual carefully before working with the radio control system.
¾As an integral part of the radio control system, the operating instructions shall be always kept
by -responsible personnel.
¾The term “machine” used in the operating manual refers to various equipment controlled by
the radio control system in general;
1.1 Intended Use
¾The radio control system is used to control machines and for data transfer. Observe the job
safety and accident prevention regulations applicable to each application.
¾The use also includes reading the operating instructions and adhering to all safety
information contained therein.
¾The radio control system must not be used in areas where there is a risk of explosion, nor for
the control of machines used to convey persons, unless it is explicitly approved by the
manufacturer for these uses.
¾Modifications to the radio control system must only be carried out by specialist personnel who
have been trained and authorized by OHM. All modifications must be documented at the
factory in the form of documents.
¾The safety devices of radio control system must not be modified, removed or bypassed. It is
absolutely forbidden to make modifications to any part of complete emergency stop link of the
radio control system.
1.2 Safety instructions for installation and operation
¾The electrical connection for the receiver can only made by professional electricians. It shall
be connected as per bundled output wire diagram.
¾The receiver can only be opened by trained personnel. Live parts inside the system may have
life-threatening voltage. Make sure to cut off the power supply to the machine before opening.
¾Note that the presence of persons in the danger zone-in particular beneath the load of
cranes-is prohibited in every instance.
¾Select a safe operation location for the radio control system, from which you have a good and
complete view of the working movements of the machine, the load movements and the

surrounding working conditions.
¾It is not permissible to put a radio transmitter unattended to one side. Always switch the radio
transmitter off when it is not required. This applies in particular if you change location, when
working without radio control, during breaks and at the end of work. Always safeguard the
radio transmitter against use by unauthorized persons, for example by locking it away.
¾In the event of an emergency or a fault of the crane or machine, make sure to immediately
-push emergency stop switch on the transmitter.
¾Only operate the radio system when it is in perfect working order. Faults and defects that
could influence safety must be rectified before the system is put back into operation, by
specialists who have been trained and authorized by OHM.
¾Note that the operational directions of the machine may appear inverted depending on
operating location and viewing angle to the machine. This will apply in particular to rotary
cranes, if your location changes from inside to outside the radius of the crane. The operator
must make himself familiar with directional markings on the machine before the start of work.
¾Repairs to the radio control system may only be carried out by specialist personnel who have
been trained and authorized by OHM. Use original replacement parts and accessories;
otherwise safety of the radio control system can no longer be guaranteed and our extended
warranty will be avoided.
¾Remain vigilant when working with the radio system and familiarize yourself with its functions.
This applies in particular if you are working with it for the first time or if you work with it only
occasionally.
¾Check each time before starting work the function of the emergency stop switch. If you start
the transmitter with the emergency stop switch pressed, the status LED will go out. If the
status LED does not go out, you will have to disable the radio control system immediately by
removing the battery from the transmitter and contact the radio control system service
engineer.
1.3 Precautions
¾Always check housing and buttons of the transmitter. In case of damage found, immediately
replace it.
¾Always pay attention to and check voltage of the transmitter; in case of no power or
insufficient voltage, immediately replace the battery.
¾Make sure emergency stop switch is working order before working.
¾In case of any abnormal condition, immediately push the emergency stop switch.

¾Do not use 2 (or more) transmitters to operate the same set of equipment at same time.
¾Do not use the same frequency within the same one factory area (or 300m scope) to avoid
mutual interference.
