2 Safety information
READ THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING,
CONFIGURATING AND OPERATING THIS PRODUCT!
MAKE SURE THAT YOU, THE OPERATOR OR SERVICE TECHNICIAN, HAVE FULLY
UNDERSTOOD THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING
IMPORTANT!
The system installer is responsible for producing an instruction manual for the application
where the SCANRECO G5 pocket has been installed and intended to control.
The system installer is responsible for producing a product approval, if such is required, for the
application where the SCANRECO G5 pocket has been installed.
Prior to operation, the system installer is required to train the operator on all functions available
using the SCANRECO G5 Pocket.
Prior to operation, the system installer is required to inform the operator of all potential hazard-
ous situations that may appear when operating the application with the SCANRECO G5 pocket.
The system installer must take into account the specic installations instructions declared in
this instruction manual.
Due to the unlimited variety of applications (cranes, machines, objects, vehicles and other
equipment) on which the remote control system is used, and the numerous standards which
are frequently the subject of varying interpretation, it is impossible for the personnel at SCAN-
RECO to provide expert advice regarding the suitability of a given remote control for a specic
application. It is the responsibility of the purchaser and system installer to determine the suit-
ability of any SCANRECO remote control product for an intended application and to ensure that
it is installed and guarded in accordance with all country, federal, state, local, and private safety
and health regulation, codes, standards and the SCANRECO instructions in this document.
If the SCANRECO G5 Pocket will be used in a safety critical application, the purchaser / system
installer must undertake appropriate testing and evaluation of the nal application to prevent
injury to the ultimate user.
SCANRECO does not take responsibility for any damage or injury.
Unauthorized tampering with any of the products will automatically void the SCANRECO guaran-
tee and product responsibility.

3.1 System overview
The SCANRECO G5 Pocket system has been specially developed for hydraulically driven mobile
machinery. The system is a digital remote control system based on advanced microprocessor
technology which can cope with the roughest of environments. The system is protected against
electromagnetic and radio frequency radiation. The G5 Pocket system is comprised of a Handheld
Control Unit (HCU) with ON/OFF buttons. The Central Unit (CU) provides the connection points
for connecting to the electro-hydraulic valves as well as through a CANopen bus system to other
components of the control system. Each system utilizes two way communication; digitally coded
control information is sent in both directions via radio between the HCU and the CU.

Technical information
The G5 system family incorporates an automated frequency jumping technology, a reliable
radio transmission highly resistant to interference.
The radio transmission takes place within the ISM-band used at pre-dened channels.
The channel switching takes place multiple times per second following a pseudorandom se-
quence. This ensures that transmission takes place on an optimal frequency at all times!
No transmitter uses the same pseudorandom sequence order when switching channels; this
minimizes the risk of two G5 systems interfering with each other.
The G5 Pocket is approved to transmit on the ISM band. See chapter 15 for approvals.
The radio is license free for the end user.

6.1 Product description
The Central Unit (CU) is manufactured in robust plastic housing and provides contacts for
the connection of power supply and electro-hydraulic valves. Several of the outputs can
also be used as digital inputs. Depending on the version off the G5 Central unit, it can ei-
ther be equipped with MOSFET outputs and Deutsch connectors or can have relay outputs
with terminal block.
Since the central unit can be exposed to very tough environments, the box is encapsulated
to give protection from damp, heat, cold, dust, vibration and corrosive environments.
The Central unit has short circuit protected inputs and outputs and has protection against
reverse polarity, over-voltage, large incoming voltage transients and EMC/RF.
IMPORTANT!
The Central unit ESTOP function is not equipped with internal fuse and therefore an
external fuse is required at an appropriate rating (10A or lower).

6.2 Versions
The G5 Pocket Central Unit exists in different versions. The main difference between
the version types is the output type which can be either MOSFET or normal relay
output. Versions with MOSFET output have two 12-pin Deutsch connectors while
versions with relay output have cable glands with internal screw terminals.
Model Functions
G5-CU M19A Two 12-pin Deutsch connectors. 19 Digital MOSFET outputs where 14
can be congured as digital inputs.
G5-CU RX Two cable glands. Relay output where X indicates the number of
outputs.
6.3 Functionality
6.3.1 MOSFET Digital Output
The G5 Pocket system is required to be congured prior to operation, refer to
programming section in this document for further information.
The MOSFET digital outputs are designed to control electro-hydraulic valves but can also be used
to load other accessories such as lamps or motors. The maximum load for each channel is
described in table below.
Max load:
• 3A/Output
• 5A/Bank
• 10A/System

6.4.1 Terminal schematics G5-CU M19A
6.4 Terminal schematics Central Unit
The digital inputs can be used as a switch to control different functions on the central
unit or on the HCU. The maximum input voltage shall not exceed the supply voltage.
The voltage threshold for the central unit to interpret the digital input signal as a
logical 1 is 3,2 V.
The relay output connectors are separated from the rest of the electronics in the
central unit to create an electrically isolated output. The maximum load for each
output is 10A. Through the terminal block, both the normally open and the normally
closed connection points are available.
The Estop function works as a safety function. It is a digital output that can source up to 10 A.
The output is active each time the HCU is active and communication has been established with
the Central unit. This output is normally connected to a dump valve. It is required for the system
installer to use this or similar function for the operator safety.
The Estop function is not equipped with internal fuse and therefore it is
needed to have an external fuse at appropriate rating (10A or lower).

7 Installation recommendation
This chapter covers general recommendations for assembling of the G5 Pocket system.
ATTENTION: Assembly of the system in ways other than recommended in this chapter may
affect the systems performance and life-span and may void any warranties given.
Engineering note: CU equipped with Deutsch connectors require M4 screws in the two lower holes.
The Central Unit should be installed using the mounting holes in at the edges on the unit.
The Central Unit should be installed vertically or horizontally with with antenna facing upwards
or horizontally. The Central Unit should never be assembled with cable glands / connectors facing
upwards or in any ways where it is exposed to accumulation of water, moisture and other debris.

Document type Document number PageRev
Instruction Manual 66060 A
18 of 25
The Central Unit should be assembled in such way that the operator can easily check
the indications given from the units LED-display.
The Central Unit should be installed where it is exposed to a minimum amount of
vibration and high temperature as possible.
As the Central Unit is equipped with an antenna it should be installed as high and
free from obstacles as possible. An antenna obscured by object has a signicantly
reduced range!
The antenna must never touch a metal object and should not be mounted
in an area that is surrounded by metal as it causes reections that signicantly
reduce range. Keep the antenna at a distance of at least 10 cm from metal objects if possible.
Optimal range is achieved if the HCU and antenna are within line-of-sight.
The unit is equipped with an internal fuse. The Estop function is excluded from this
fuse and this output needs to be provided with an external fuse at 10A or lower.
The emergency stop arrangement should be placed visible and easily accessed.
Ensure that wiring and cable glands are properly sealed as to minimize risk that
water enters the unit.
IMPORTANT! During welding!
During welding on machine all connectors from the Central unit must be disconnected.
Ignoring this may damage the central unit and void warranty.
