The relative relay is “ON” when the pushbutton is pressed and held; and relay is “off” when the pushbutton is released.

Maintained function: the relay is operated by pressing and releasing; press and release again to turn off the relay.

Both pushbuttons are used to operate the same relay. Press the ON pushbutton to activate the relay and press the OFF pushbutton to de-activate the relay.

Once pushbutton is pressed then the relative relay will be conducted within a certain time, in order to operate with short and precision movement. Press and hold inching pushbutton and press motion pushbutton to perform inching motion.

The two pushbuttons are interlocked; it’s not possible to operate two opposite functions at same time.

The two pushbuttons can be operated at the same time: When the application allows to operate at the same time two functions which are usually opposite to one another.

When 1 st then 2 nd

step pushbutton is pressed, the 1

“Interlock Delay Time” is delay time between 2 opposite pushbuttons are being press one after another. i.e.: while crane is moving one direction (forward), moving opposite direction

(backward) immediately would be dangerous specially when crane is hooking up the heavy object. The object may sway if crane does not completely stop before moving into opposite direction. Therefore the interlocked delay time could potentially prevent it. Normally, the interlocked delay time should be larger than the duration of crane stop.

“Bypass EMS” means that the relay relating to pushbutton will not be controlled by EMS mushroom or emergency stop signal.

“Control by EMS” means that the relay relating to pushbutton is controlled by EMS mushroom or emergency stop signal.

ID Code Remote setting allows you to overwrite ID code of receiver when Receiver or

Transmitter is damaged. Before remote setting, one must make sure both TX and RX are in same frequency channel. By using remote setting, receiver ID code will be overwriting by the transmitter.

Note:

(1) All radios of same model within its radio operating distance, might be affecting by

ID code remote setting.

(2) Transmitter ID code remote setting overwrite the ID code of receiver only.

(3) Receiver will not accept ID code remote setting signal 4 minutes after main power being turn ON.

Power Saving Mode: By using firmware to control frequency transmission cycle period, thus to reduce power consumption of transmitter.

Note: the operating distance will be decreased when the “Power Saving” mode is activated.

“Any pushbutton Power-On mode”: The receiver will be “Power-On” once any pushbutton on transmitter is pressed.

“Start pushbutton Power-On mode”: The receiver will be “Power-On” once Start pushbuttons is pressed.

“E.U. (standard) Power-On mode”: The receiver will be “Power-On” once Start pushbuttons is pressed. In case of the receiver is being turn off due to EMS button is pressed or “Auto Off” due to idle time, one must switch the key to “OFF” position, then switch the key to “ON” and Start position for re-start.

EU Standard is based on “continuous transmission” with “Auto Off” after 3 minutes of idle time.

“E.U. (simple) Power-On mode”: The receiver will be “Power-On” once Start button is pressed. It’s not necessary to switch the key to off position before restarting the system due to the idle time or EMS button is pressed.

Note: To Power-On the system, EMS button (mushroom) must be pull out and Start Key must remain in ON position.

“Non-continuous transmitting mode”: After “Power-On”, the transmitter will transmitting the signal only when the pushbutton is pressed. This mode can save the power of transmitter.

“Continuous transmitting mode”: Transmitter will continuously transmit signal once transmitter is being Power-On.

This function is used to turn off the Transmitter after a given idle time.

*Only available under “continuous transmitting” mode.

This function refers to turn off the Transmitter after a given idle time while transmitting the signal to switch off the receiver main relay.

*Only available under “continuous transmitting” mode.

“LED-OFF”: LED indicator will remain OFF during normal operation to save battery power but it is still available for warning and fault indication.

“LED-ON”: LED indicator will be lighten with green color when transmitting.

This setting allows you to select the LED intermittent time to save transmitter power. i.e.: If select 1 second is selected, the LED will be lighted every 1 second.

Passive Act

AUTO OFF RX

This function ensures safe operations, including when there are disturbances that may affect the normal operating conditions. This assures that when the machine operates, the control is not subject to temporary and unexpected stops. Possible short interferences are bypassed. The passive act can be select in 2 mode as below,

“Ry Off” If the interferences are larger than the pre-set time, the receiver will turn off all the relays under “NORMAL” function except the MAIN relay.

“Power-Off” If the interferences are larger than the pre-set time, the receiver will turn off all the relays under “NORMAL” function and “Control by EMS” including MAIN relay. The receiver must be restart to operate again, follow the “Power-On” procedure to restart the system.

This function refers to turn off receiver after a given idle time. Receiver MAIN relay will be turn off automatically. Normally this function is cooperated with “non-continuous trans- mitting”mode to prevent any unintentional radio.

Note: Dual motor, Dual motor (1), Combination, 3 speeds and Digital 4S mode are available for

UP/Down pushbutton only.
