Safety philosophy
The control system fulls 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 trafc 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 trafc,
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 deected 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)

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.

“On-off menu” button
The right-hand button in the top
row on the bar facing the operator
enables the ON-OFF functions.
The “ON-OFF” main menu contains functions
such as start, stop and throttle. The functions
are congured at the bodybuilder.
No symbols are used for these functions at present,
instead, a description matching the respective func-
tion and lever is shown in the display. Only Arabic
numerals and letters from the English alphabet can
be used in the descriptions.
The hand controller is prepared for the use of sym-
bols for the ON-OFF functions.
The ON-OFF functions are controlled by the 4 levers
located in the middle of the controller. Thus function
1 is controlled by lever 2, function 2 by lever 3 and
so on. The ON-OFF functions are activated irre-
spective of which direction the lever is moved.

Fault
A symbol of a spanner is shown
when the safety system discovers a
fault in the system.
Micro
Indicates that micro operation has
been selected. Micro operation
changes the sensitivity of the levers
as follows: At full lever deection,
μ50% yields 50% of normal speed
and µ20% yields 20% of normal
speed for the crane. The micro
values can be set at any value by
Hiab.
Service
Indicates that the crane requires
service.
Personnel basket or VSL+
Indicates that MEWP-mode
(operation from personnel basket)
has been selected. This requires
greater stability and lower speeds
for crane movement. VSL+
indicates how much extra lifting
capacity the crane has due to load
on the vehicle.
Signal strength
The number of bars shows the
signal strength. Optimum reception
is when all the bars are lled.
When the symbol ashes the radio
is connected but the start criteria
have not been met.
Centre display, view modes
12 Technical description
The centre display is the system’s
information centre. It shows informa-
tion that is not directly related to the
crane’s operation.
The symbols used for this information
are described in detail below.
The images to the right shows the
appearance of the centre display during
normal radio controlled operation of the
crane. LSS indicates that LSS mode has
been chosen. VSL+ indicates the extra
capacity that can be used thanks to load
on the vehicle. The stability diagram
shows eventual limitation of the lifting
capacity.
Main menu
The text shows which main menu
has been selected while the num-
ber shows which sub-menu of
that main menu applies. The main
menus are:
CRANE, EXTRA and ON-OFF.
NOTE! The rst menu number in
EXTRA is one higher than the
highest in CRANE. ON-OFF is
numbered from 1.

Overload protection ”OLP”, warning signals
14 Technical description
Olsbergs hand controllers can provide
information about the pressure in cylin-
ders equipped with pressure sensors.
This information is linked directly to each
function.
The pressure is shown as a percentage of
the maximum pressure permitted, further-
more it also shows if a particular motion is
prohibited or if the crane is subject to over-
load protection, (OLP).
There are three types of OLP:
Crane-OLP: means that the crane has reach
maximum load.
Outrigger-OLP: means that one of the
outriggers of the crane or vehicle has reach
maximum load.
VSL-OLP: means that the stability limit of the
crane or vehicle has been reached.
Overload is shown on the hand controller’s
displays as follows.
Crane-OLP
Indicated by showing 100% for those func-
tions that have pressure sensors in the cylin-
ders. Any movement that would increase the
load is blocked. (1)
Outrigger-OLP
Outrigger-OLP means that one of the out-
riggers has reached maximum load and a
symbol is shown in the centre display with
the actual outrigger crossed.
At outrigger-OLP this symbol is shown
irrespective of which menu is shown in the
centre display. Outrigger-OLP ”front left” or
”front right” are indicated at the same spot on
the symbol in the centre display.
VSL-OLP
VSL-OLP means that the stability limit of the
crane/vehicle has been reached and VSL is
indicated on the centre display.
If outrigger-OLP and VSL-OLP occur at the
same time, VSL is indicated in the same
symbol as the outrigger OLP.
At all types of OLP the crane/vehicle stops
and all levers must be moved to neutral posi-
tion before the crane/vehicle can be operat-
ed out of OLP position and the centre display
returns to normal.
Regardless of which menu is active Outrig-
ger – OLP will be shown. Here outrigger-OLP

Blocking on max load/release
When a function has been blocked due to an OLP, a
cross is shown in the relevant lever’s display when
an attempt is made to activate it.
If the crane has got stuck the release button must
be activated to enable it to be moved from it’s posi-
tion. (2)
If the OLP release is accepted this is shown by an
unlocked padlock in the centre display. (3)
The crane will then operate at reduced speed for a
limited period of time.

Warning at 50%, 70%, 90% and 100%
Some of the crane’s functions are connected to
pressure sensors which show the pressure in these
cylinders as a percentage of maximum permitted
pressure when it exceeds 50%.
The percentage is shown as 50%, 70%, 90% or
100% alternating with the lever’s symbol, once per
second.
When a pressure sensor reaches 100% all motions
that would increase the load can be blocked.
These congurations are set by the crane manufac-
turer.
If the operator attempts to activate a blocked func-
tion a cross replaces the symbol. The cross disap-
pears and the symbol returns when the lever is
returned to the neutral position. (4)
Conguration
The hand controller must be congured speci-
cally for the particular crane or vehicle if it is to
show the correct symbol or text.
Default settings for the crane symbols are set in
the factory during nal testing. Conguration of
other functions and tools is conducted by the coach
builder when mounting the crane on the vehicle.
Cranes that have a safety system can utilise the
terminal program to congure the crane. Non-CE
cranes without a safety system can be congured
via a computer or be adjusted in the factory.

16 Technical description
Locking/unlocking the hand controller
The hand controller can be locked to prevent unau-
thorised persons, such as children, from starting the
hand controller and operating the crane.
Locking the hand controller
1. Press the EXTRA button and the ON-OFF
button when the stop button is pressed in.
2. Continue to hold the buttons pressed at the
same time as the stop button is pulled out.
The centre display will now show a locked
padlock. (1)
Note!
If battery power drops too low the hand controller
will lock automatically.
Unlocking the hand controller
1. Press the EXTRA button and the ON-OFF
button when the stop button is pressed in.
2. Continue to hold the buttons pressed at the
same time as the stop button is pulled out.
The hand controller is ready for use. (2)
Low ambient temperature
The LCD-type displays on the hand controller are
somewhat slow in changing state in low tempera-
tures. At 0°C, it will take approximately 1 second,
and at -20°C it can take up to 8 seconds before the
symbols have been completely updated.
For safety reasons, quick shifts within a menu are
not possible at temperatures below -10°C; though
shifting between different menus will still be possible
as normal.
To avoid the inconvenience that may be caused by
the above, the hand controller should be stored at a
temperature above +10°C when not in use.
No signal from the safety system
If a fault develops in communication with the safety
system during operation, the system stops the
crane. The centre display shows the spanner sym-
bol to indicate that there is a fault. The crane can
only be operated manually under emergency condi-
tions if this occurs.
Replacing a hand controller or decoder
Every system has a unique controller/decoder pair
which only communicates with each other. If one
unit has to be replaced, a special procedure must
be followed to make the new pair communicate.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Switch off the Space X4 RC system.
2. Unscrew the protection cap on the decoder and
remove it.
3. Connect the hand controller with the accompany-
ing cable (E0781) to the decoder.
4. Switch on the Space X4 RC system and select
“remote”.
5. Hold down the release button on the hand con-
troller while pulling out the stop button.
When the yellow LED on the decoder starts to blink,
let go of the release button. When the procedure is
complete, the yellow LED goes out. If the procedure
was successful, only the green LED remains lit, if
not, the red LED is lit. The procedure can take up to
half a minute.

Other instructions
17Technical description
Cable control
The hand controller is normally used in radio mode
but it is also possible to operate it via a cable.
A four-metre cable (E0781) is supplied as standard
with the hand controller. The cable is intended to be
used for short-term operation and when pairing in
conjunction with the replacement of hand controllers
or decoders. The cable connects to the vehicle via
the decoder’s CAN bus connector. (3)
If the hand controller is to be wired permanently or
for a long period, an adapter cable (E0837) is run
from the Space X4 RC system and installed at a
suitable location on the vehicle. To give the opera-
tor greater freedom of movement, a 15-metre cable
(E0782) is used between the adapter and the con-
troller. (4)
When the cable is connected to the hand controller,
the centre display shows that the controller is in ca-
ble operation mode. The symbols for signal strength
(radio) and battery capacity are replaced with the
symbol for cable operation. (5)
Engage manual extension
This function must be activated so that the safety
system can calculate the capacity when manual ex-
tension is used. This is done by pressing the release
and horn buttons at the same time until the manual
extension symbol appears on the centre display.
Use the same procedure to disengage the manual
extension function.
