Safety philosophy
The control system fulls stringent safety require-
ments in terms of reliability and operational safety.
The controller and radio decoder contains radio
modules, FCC ID: MCQ-XBSX and IC: 1846A-
XBSX.
The radio devices complies with part 15 of FCC
rules and ICES-003.
Olsbergs radio remote control system has been
developed to provide operators with continual
feedback via its displays on the hand controller.
The hand controller’s standard menu selection
system utilises the displays to provide the oper-
ator with real time information about the chosen
menu, battery status, reception conditions etc.
The hand controller contains a two-way communi-
cation radio enabling information to be sent both to
it and from it. The radio decoder contains a corre-
sponding unit to handle trafc at the other end.
The hand controller utilises 915 Mhz radio with max.
e.r.p of 22 mW, which is operating in the ISM 902–
928 Mhz frequency band, a free band approved
by the Federal Communications Commission, and
Industry Canada.
Introduction
3
- This means that no license is needed and the radio
can in principle be used everywhere in north
America including over national boundaries. For
detailed information about free band use see
www.fcc.gov and www.ic.gc.ca
The side displays show the symbol for the function
each lever activates in the chosen menu. When the
operator changes menu, the symbols change to the
functions that become active.
The centre display provides information about which
menu has been chosen, as well as indicating the
radio reception conditions, battery status, fault infor-
mation, micro, manual extension and so on. Further-
more information about VSL+ and stability diagram
is displayed in the centre display.
Technical description

The radio decoder contains one of the radio
units. The decoder translates the radio trafc,
consisting of lever and button data from the
hand controller, to the CAN bus.

Technical description
For safety reasons, it is extremely important that
data is not corrupted, therefor the decoder has
dual micro-processors which monitor each other to
ensure accuracy in the translation. The controller
and the decoder must be “paired” with each other
to establish a connection. A unique code is loaded
and stored in each unit. The pairing procedure is
described elsewhere in this documentation.

The hand controller is the device that the
operator uses to control his crane and his
vehicle.
The hand controller has six levers. The functions
of each lever may be the same or different in
different menus, however only one function can
exist per lever at any one time. If a lever is faulty,
or if it is deected on starting, it is disabled. The
other levers operate as usual.
Activating the micro-button enables the operator
to set the levers to two preset values e.g. 50% or
20% of normal speed thus enabling the crane to
be operated with increased precision.

Getting started
Installing the battery
Install a fully-charged battery in the hand controller
as shown on the right. (1)
The battery must be installed correctly (2) or the
hand controller will not start.
A fully-charged 1700 mAh battery provides approxi-
mately 8 hours of operation.
Activating the system on the crane
To turn on the crane’s control unit press the on but-
ton on the Space X4 RC Box. The LED above the
button will then start to blink. (3)
Then press the remote control button on the Space
X4 RC Box. The LED above this button will rst start
blinking and when the radio connection is estab-
lished it will light steadily. (4)
The decoder starts when remote control operation
is selected and the decoder’s yellow LED starts to
blinks.
The crane’s control and safety system is now ready
to be connected with the hand controller.
Activating the controller
To activate the hand controller pull the stop button
out by turning it clockwise (2). The hand controller is
powered up and starts to establish a radio link with
the decoder on the crane. While radio contact is
being established a ashing hourglass and the text
“Wait” is shown on the centre display. (6)
Remaining battery power is displayed and the signal
strength symbol ashes when radio communication
is established but the hand controller and decoder
are still exchanging connection data.

Technical description
Connection time for a cold-start can be up to 5
seconds. A cold-start occurs when the hand control-
ler or decoder on the crane have been off for the
last 10 minutes. When restarting within 10 minutes
of turning off the hand controller, the radio link is still
established and the hand controller is ready for use
immediately.
The factory setting for the period of time the hand
controller maintains contact with the decoder after
pressing the stop button is 10 minutes.

Getting started
Radio link established
When the radio connection is established the
yellow LED on the decoder shines steadily
and the green LED blinks rapidly. (5)
The hourglass symbol on the hand controller
disappears and the text “Wait” (6) is replaced
by “CRANE 1”. (7)
The radio signal strength is now shown with-
out blinking.
If the radio connection is disrupted for longer
than 0.5 of a second, then “CRANE 1” is
replaced by the “RESTART” symbol (8) and
the signal strength symbol will either disap-
pears or start blinking.
To restart the controller press in the stop but-
ton and pull it out again by turning it clock-
wise. (2)
If the hand controller has been turned off it
will always restart in “CRANE 1”. (9)

Menu system
8
Olsbergs hand controllers are equipped with a
menu selection system as standard.
There are three main menus which can be easily
accessed via three push buttons.
The main menus are:
the CRANE menu
the EXTRA menu
the ON-OFF menu
In each of the main menus the operator can select
sub-menus by repeatedly pressing the same button,
e.g. 1-2-3 and then back to 1 again.
The sum of Crane and Extra menus may not ex-
ceed 4. For a 6-lever hand controller, the maximum
number of On-Off menus are 3 with on/off functions
on lever 2,3,4 and 5.
The system with main menus enables the operator
to change quickly from crane operation to outrig-
ger operation and back again. The hand controller
always restarts in menu CRANE 1.

The sub-menus in “CRANE” mode are cong-
ured when the crane is tted to the vehicle.
The right and left side displays show symbols
representing the functions controlled by the
corresponding levers.
When the crane menu changes, the symbols and
texts change to match the functions available via the
current menu.
“Crane menu” button
The left-hand button in the top row
on the bar, facing towards the opera-
tor. When the operator pulls out the
start button on the hand controller,
it always starts in menu CRANE 1.
The symbols are stored in a symbol library.
If the library does not contain the required symbol,
a description of the function can be written instead.
Only Arabic numerals and letters from the English
alphabet can be used in the descriptions.
Symbols and texts can be congured via the safety
system.

The “EXTRA” main menu contains additional
hydraulic proportional functions that do not
belong to the crane itself, such as outriggers
front and rear, boat supports, levelling etc.
The symbols are stored in a symbol library. If the
library does not contain the required symbol, a
description of the function can be written instead.
Only Arabic numerals and letters from the English
alphabet can be used in the descriptions.
The symbols and descriptions are congured in
the same way as the “CRANE” main menu and the
same method is used for stepping between the sub-
menus.
