8. SUMMARIZED SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The digital radio control system SC 30 has been developed especially for controlling the operations of
truck-mounted concrete pumps equipped with a placing boom. The system is protected against elec-
tromagnetic disturbance and radio frequency interference. Transmitter and receiver are interconnec-
ted by means of a radio communication link. The data security protocol used protects transmitted data
from loss or corruption caused by disturbance and interference. The possibility of operating the ma-
chine by means of signals from other transmitters nearby is excluded. If the radio communication is
affected in exceptional cases by strong interference from other transmitters, the machine is automati-
cally switched to the EMERGENCY STOP state.
The transmitter is supplied with electric power from an exchangeable battery cassette. The battery
cassette is charged by means of a charger connected to the truck battery. A line-operated battery
charger is equally available. When the link cable is connected, the battery is charged via this cable.
The joysticks have 3 control function levels each. Thus, the radio control system can be used for con-
trolling all booms with 3, 4 or 5 sections as well as the 4-section boom with telescope from
SCHWING. If any of the control function levels is not needed, the corresponding joystick movements
remain without effect.
As the transmitter is suitable for different boom types, the radio control system is ready for use only
after transmitter and receiver have been successfully "paired". Repeated "pairing" of transmitter and
receiver is possible at any time.
The receiver is installed in a suitable place of the truck-mounted concrete pump, but generally near
the boom column. The receiver is connected by cable to the VECTOR control. The connector for the
cable control is located in an easily accessible and protected place normally in the cabinet of the hy-
draulic emergency control center. The emergency control center is equally connected by cable to the
receiver.
The transmitting antenna is installed in the transmitter. The receiver is equipped with a removable
antenna. If needed, this antenna can be replaced by an external antenna.
The components of the radio control system:
- transmitter
- receiver with antenna
- battery charger
- battery cassette
- link cable

9. PRESENTATION OF THE SYSTEM COMPONENTS
9.1 TRANSMITTER
The transmitter is equipped with the following monitoring and control elements:
The joysticks
Joysticks J1 (on the left) and J2 (on the right) are used for proportional control of the placing boom.
Proportional means that the movement speeds of the placing boom are a function of how far the joy-
sticks are moved out of their neutral position. The operator info sign between the joysticks shows the
possible directions of movement for the placing boom. If the transmitter is used for another machine
with a different type of boom ("pairing" required) this operator info sign must be exchanged.

The two-digit display 1 shows the different
states of operation of the system. As the re-
ceiver is generally installed near the boom col-
umn of the machine, some of the status mes-
sages are also displayed on the screen of the
VECTOR control 1 (Fig. 2).
The receiver display is only provided for
function checking purposes during mainte-
nance operations. Reading the messages on
this display during the working operations
is not permitted and not necessary.
WARNING
Risk of falling
It is forbidden to step on the con-
crete pump when the machine is
in operation.
If it should be necessary to step
on the machine for the purpose
of servicing the radio control sys-
tem, this is only permitted after
the pump drive has been shut
off.
For working on the pump, the
machine must be equipped with
safe access ladders and fall pro-
tection systems.
See the SAFETY MANUAL of the
machine.

tion the cassette is keyed.
For changing and charging the battery, see chap-
ter 15.
9.5 THE LINK CABLE
(not shown)
The link cable can be used for connecting recei-
ver and transmitter with one another in case
radio communication is not possible or not de-
sired. The cable is also needed for "pairing" of
the system.
The link cable transmits all control commands
in the same way as the radio link.
Moreover, the cable supplies power for charging
of the transmitter battery.

10. THE CHECKBACK SYSTEM
The check back function of the G3 radio control
system serves the purpose of indicating current
machine data on the transmitter display.
Important information from the VECTOR control
can thus be made available to the operator stand-
ing at a distance from the machine.
The display is installed in the transmitter panel
(Fig. 1).
The transmitter is moreover equipped with a
beeper which draws the operator's attention to
certain machine conditions or faults. See the
description of the VECTOR control.
10.1 DISPLAY BACKLIGHTING
Pushbutton S 10 (Fig. 2) can be
used for activating the display
backlighting function for 30 sec-
onds.
If the light is switched on three times in succes-
sion within a short time, the system activates a
"forced pause" of one minute to avoid unnec-
essary battery discharge.
10.2 DISPLAY OF CHECKBACK DATA
Basic screen
If the transmitter is put into operation while the
receiver is on, the first screen displayed is the
basic screen (Fig. 3). The basic screen is sub-
divided into several display sections. See next
