1-2. General.

Radio controlled overhead cranes and other material handling equipment operate in several directions. They are large, bulky pieces of equipment that handle heavy loads efficiently at high speeds. Quite frequently, the equipment is operated in areas where people are working on the floor below. The crane operator must exercise extreme caution at all times. Workers must constantly be alert to avoid accidents. The following rules have been included to indicate how your careful and thoughtful actions may prevent injuries, damage to equipment, or even save a life. If radio controlled material-handling equipment is operated from the cab, special care must be taken to secure the transmitter. Refer to section titled

Section 1-10. Boarding The Crane for specific safety rules.

1-3. Persons Authorized To Operate Radio

Controlled Cranes.

Only properly trained persons designated by management should be permitted to operate radio-controlled cranes.

Radio controlled cranes should not be operated by any person who cannot read or understand signs, notices and operating instructions that pertain to the crane.

Radio controlled cranes should not be operated by any person with insufficient eyesight or hearing or by any person who may be suffering from a disorder or illness or is taking any medication that may cause loss of crane control.

1-4. Training Checklist For Crane Operators.

Anyone being trained to operate a radio-controlled crane should possess as a minimum the following knowledge and skills before operating the crane:

The operator should have knowledge of hazards pertaining to crane operation.

The operator should have knowledge of the safety rules for radio-controlled cranes.

The operator should have the ability to judge distance of moving objects.

The operator should have knowledge of the radio transmitter.

The operator should know how to properly test limit switches.

The operator should know, where authorized, instructions for plugging motions.

The operator should have knowledge of the use of crane warning lights and alarms.

The operator should have knowledge of observing crane signal lights.

The operator should be trained to avoid striking any obstructions.

The operator should have knowledge of the proper clearance of lifts or hooks before moving bridge or trolley.

The operator should have knowledge of the proper storage space for radio control box when not in use.

The operator should be trained in transferring radio control box to another person.

The operator should be trained how and when to report unsafe or unusual operating conditions.

The operator should be trained how to exhibit caution in approaching bridge or trolley bumpers.

The operator should be trained in making lifts below floor level.

The operator should be trained in making side pulls.

The operator should know how to keep himself and other people clear of lifts and to avoid

"pinch" points.

The operator should know cable and hook inspection procedures.

The operator should know procedures for testing hoist, trolley, and bridge brakes.

The operator should know and follow the local lockout and tagout procedures.

1-5. Operating Area.

Aisles between equipment, stock, etc., should be free of obstructions so the crane operator can move freely. These aisles should be a minimum of three feet (one meter) wide, or meet local regulations.

Crane operators should always position themselves for the best view of the crane they are controlling. The crane should never be operated blindly. The operator should stay as close to the crane load as possible. Operators should never position themselves in a "pinch" point.

1-6. Transmitter Unit.

Transmitter switches should never be mechanically blocked ON or OFF for any crane motion.

When not in use turn the transmitter OFF. A secure storage space should be provided for the transmitter unit and the transmitter unit should always be placed there when not in use. This precaution will prevent unauthorized people from operating the crane.

Spare transmitters should be stored in a secure storage space and only removed from the storage space after the current transmitter in use has been turned OFF, taken out of the service area and secured.

1-7. Operating The Crane.

1-7.1. Pre-operation Test.

At the start of each work shift, or when a new operator takes control of the crane, operators shall do, as a minimum, the following steps before making lifts with any crane or hoist:

Test the upper-limit switch. Slowly raise the unloaded hook block until the limit switch trips.

When checking limit switches the hoist should be centered over an area free of personnel and equipment.

Visually inspect the hook, load lines, trolley, and bridge as much as possible from the operator's station; in most instances, this will be the floor of the building.

The bridge and trolley brakes should be tested.

On transmitter units equipped with two or more speeds, use the "lowest" speed when testing braking devices.

When lifting maximum loads, the crane operator should test the hoist brakes by raising the load a few inches from the floor. If the brakes do not hold, the load should immediately be lowered to the floor.

If provided, test the lower-limit switch.

Test all warning devices.

Test all direction and speed controls for both bridge and trolley travel.

Test all bridge and trolley limit switches, where provided, if operation will bring the equipment in close proximity to the limit switches.

Test the transmitter emergency stop.

Test the hoist brake to verify there is no drift without a load.

If any crane or hoist fails any of the above tests notify the supervisor and lock out and tagout for repair.

1-7.2. General Rules For Operation.

Consult the crane manufacturer, local and governmental regulations for complete rules of operation. In general the following rules apply to remotely controlled cranes:

Telemotive SLTX Transmitter Instruction Manual—1/1/06

5

The limit switches should never be used as a regular stopping device. They are intended to be protective devices.

Do not make lifts in excess of the equipment rated capacity.

The bridge and trolley should be centered directly over the load when the load is raised to prevent swinging when making lifts.

A crane designed for this purpose and only with supervisor permission should make side pulls.

When a lift is being made, the crane operator should not be positioned in the line of travel. The crane or hoist should be operated from a position either to the side or opposite from the direction of travel.

When raising or lowering a load, proceed slowly and make certain the load is under control. Tag lines should be used for handling unusual lengths or bulky loads. Remove slack from chains or slings gradually. Make certain all personnel are clear before making a lift.

The crane operator should keep all body parts away from the lift and should never be positioned under the lift.

Do not make a lift or move a load if anyone is in a location where they could be struck by the crane or the load.

If the crane operator is being assisted, the crane should not be moved until the assistant signals they are clear of the crane and its load.

When a load is hanging from the crane hook and the crane is being moved, the crane operator should sound all warning devices frequently.

Loads should not be carried over workers heads.

If a worker is in the path of crane travel, the crane operator should stop the crane and clear the area before proceeding.

Runway stops or other cranes should never be bumped into.

When moving the crane, the crane operator should be sure that the hook block and attachments or cables would not catch on nearby equipment. Slings, chains, or cables should never be dragged along the floor.

Unless required for operator safety, gloves should not be worn when operating the transmitter unit.

All loose materials or parts should be removed from the load before starting the lift.

The crane operator should always hoist lifts high enough to clear all equipment and workers.

The crane operator should never permit anyone to ride on the load or hook except when authorized by the supervisor.

When another crane on the same runway is stationary with a load hanging, the crane operator should maintain a safe distance between the stationary crane and the one under their control.

Never leave suspended loads unattended. In an emergency, if the crane is inoperative and a load suspended, notify the supervisor immediately, barricade and post signs on the floor beneath crane and load.

If power to the crane is removed, the crane operator should turn the transmitter unit OFF and keep it OFF until power is restored.

If the crane fails to respond properly, the crane operator should stop operation, turn the transmitter unit OFF and immediately report the condition to their supervisor.

Outdoor cranes, which are subject to movement by wind, should be securely anchored when left unattended. If the crane is equipped with bridge brakes, the parking brake should be set immediately.

1-7.3. Boarding The Crane.

The crane should not be boarded without permission of the supervisor.

The crane operator should turn off the transmitter and take it with them when boarding the crane.

If more than one person is boarding the crane, one person should be made responsible for ensuring all personnel are off the crane before the system is returned to operation.

1-8. Crane Maintenance And Repair.

Qualified personnel must maintain a regularly

(i.e., such as monthly) scheduled crane inspection. During this crane inspection the functionality and safety of the crane remote control must also be tested. The inspection shall include, but not be limited to items listed in

Section 2-11. Condition of The Radio Controlled

Crane. Consult crane manufacturer, local and governmental regulations for recommended inspection intervals and proper inspection procedures. Problems noted during this inspection must be repaired before using the crane or the remote control.

Minor repairs include routine maintenance and repairs such as greasing, cleaning and control troubleshooting. All other repairs should be considered major. If the repair crew consists of more than one person, one person should be designated as the repair crew leader with the following responsibilities. If the repair crew consists of only one person, that person has the following responsibilities:

For minor repairs, warning signs should be placed on the floor beneath the crane or suspended from the crane. For major repairs, the floor area below the crane should be roped off.

When major repairs are to take place, all persons operating other cranes on the same or adjacent runways must be notified prior to starting repairs. Notification should include the nature of the repair, safeguards provided, and movement limitations while repairs are in progress.

When practical, radio controlled cranes which cannot be moved during repairs must be protected against being bumped by other cranes on the runway. Bumpers should be installed on the exposed side or sides of the crane under repair.

They should be placed as far away as possible.

The location of these bumpers should be indicated by red lights placed so that they are clearly visible to other crane operators traveling on the same runway. When it is not possible to use bumpers, red lights must be placed so they are clearly visible to other crane operators traveling on the same runway to indicate the restricted travel zone. All crane operators on the same runway must be informed of the repair effort and thoroughly instructed to what their operations are limited to and informed they will be notified when repairs are completed.

If any hazard involving the repairmen exists when there is a runway adjacent to the crane under repair, the adjacent runway should be blocked off as described above. When it is necessary to continue crane operation on the adjacent runways, warning lights must be installed and be visible to operators of cranes on those runways. All cranes should come to a complete stop prior to entering the restricted area and should proceed through this area only after receiving permission from a signal person designated for this purpose. Access of persons to and from the crane being repaired should be under control of the repair crew leader.

When boarding the crane, the transmitter should be turned OFF and the transmitter should remain with the repair crew leader. The leader should board the crane first, open and lock out the main switch, and then signal the other members of the crew it is safe to board the crane.

If work on the crane is to be done in areas not protected by standard handrails, the repair crew should wear approved safety belts.

All tools and equipment should be moved onto the crane by the use of hand lines. The tools and equipment should be adequately secured to the hand lines.

If it is necessary to have the crane control circuits energized, all power circuits for crane movement must be opened prior to energizing the control circuits.

All personnel and tools should be moved to a safe spot before moving the crane during repairs.

Headroom is at a minimum in some crane cabs and on some crane walkways. Caution should be exercised when boarding or working on cranes.

Hard hats should be worn whenever possible.

When repairs are finished, all personnel, tools and repair equipment should be removed before energizing the crane circuits.

1-9. Using The Crane As A Work Platform.

When the crane is to be used as a stationary work platform, follow all rules provided in Section 1-

11. Crane Maintenance and Repair. When it is necessary for the crane to be moved from time to

Telemotive SLTX Transmitter Instruction Manual—1/1/06

time, the crane operator should board the crane with the transmitter unit. The crane operator should ensure all personnel working on the crane are in a secure position before moving the crane to the next workstation. It should also be the crane operator’s responsibility to ensure the main switch is open and locked down before work is resumed.

3-3. SLTX Programming Switches.

The programming switch SW3 controls the following features: (These only apply to units originally programmed to utilize these features). a. 10K Series SLTX Programming Switches SW3 and SW4 Programming. i. Transmitter programming SW3. ii. Positions 1-7 (Keep turned “OFF”). iii. Position 8 Time-out-timer Disable. (Normally keep turned “OFF”).

The transmitter has an approximate 15-minute time-out-timer. If the transmitter is not used for over 15 minutes it will shut down. This transmitter time-out-timer function is transmitter dip switch selectable.

SW3 position 8 disables the time-out-timer. Turning SW3-8 “ON” disables the time-out-timer. b. Transmitter programming SW4. i. Position SW4 1 and 2 Mode Enable. (Standard Mode 1, keep 1-2 turned “OFF”).

Mode 1, SW4 1-2 all “OFF”. The 10K12 single speed system comes standard configured this way from the factory with three motion controls and six auxiliaries (controlled by the toggle switches). The 10K12 2speed system comes standard configured this way from the factory with three 2-speed controls and three auxiliaries (controlled by the toggle switches, the rotary is non-functional).

Mode 2, SW4 1 turned “OFF” and SW4 2 turned “ON”. The 10K12 2-speed system configured this way is able to control four 2-speed motion controls and no auxiliaries. This gives bridge, trolley, main and aux hoist. The rotary selector switch functions are H1 main hoist, H2 aux hoist and B both main and aux hoist

(the toggle switches are non-functional).

Mode 3, SW4 1 and 2 turned “ON”. The SLTX transmitter will control up to 5 motors using the rotary selector switch. This mode reconfigures two of the 10K12 auxiliary outputs (Aux 1 and Aux 2) to be external motor select functions by the rotary switch. In this mode the auxiliary toggle switches Aux 1 and

Aux 2 are disabled. When the rotary switch is in the H1 or H2 position Aux 1 relay or Aux 2 relay will pull in respectively whenever trolley or hoist lever is moved. When the rotary switch is in B position both

Aux 1 and Aux 2 relays will pull in.

i. Position SW4-3 Disable Tandem for Hoist and Trolley. (Normally keep turned “OFF”).

For cranes with auxiliary hoists and/or trolleys, turning this switch “ON” disables the transmitter selector switch “B” position (both function) that selects tandem operation of hoist or trolley. ii. Position SW4-4 Invert Crane Select Aux. Outputs. (Normally keep turned “OFF”).

For cranes that use the select function only, turning this switch “ON” inverts the select function operation so that the relay closes for the unselected function. iii. Positions SW-5-7 Extended Crane Control Configurations. (Standard all “OFF”, otherwise see the appropriate receiver manual).

The 10K12 SLTX transmitter is available with extended crane control configurations. These options are switch configurable on the transmitter. The eight-position dip switches SW3 and SW4 on the transmitter can provide all configurations with a single transmitter CPU EPROM for the 2-speed transmitter. See your receiver manual for available configurations and the switch programming needed to provide them. iv. Position 8 No Function (keep turned off).

3-4. To Check Data.

1). For data input use Data pin on RF Module.

2). Use RF SW pin on RF Module for External Trigger input.

3). Use TP2 for Ground.

3-5. Battery Monitor.

Set to 5.8 Volts by R6 and R8 not adjustable.

3-6. Transmit LED.

This flashing red LED flashes rapidly during transmit, slowly when unit is ON and turns out when battery is low.

3-7. Batteries and Charger.

Two batteries are available for the Pre-engineered SLTX, a disposable alkaline battery BT120-0 and a rechargeable 7.2V NiMH (BT122-0). The battery charger for the BT122-0 is the E10759-0. Two piggyback chargers (E10759-1) can be used with one E10759-0. This will allow three batteries to be charged at the same time from one power supply. This is the most that can be done at one time. Please see your charger manual for additional details. Please follow local regulations for the disposal of any battery product.
