Safety Instructions
Read through these operating instructions carefully before working with the radio system. This applies in
particular to the installation, commissioning and maintenance of the radio system.
The operating instructions are a constituent part of the radio control system and must always be kept
close at hand for the responsible personnel.
The term ‘machine’ is used in the operating instructions for the different possible uses of the radio
system.
Intended Use
The radio system serves to control machines and for data transfer. Observe the job safety and
accident prevention regulations applicable to each application.
The intended use also includes reading the operating instructions and adhering to all safety
information contained therein.
The radio system must not be used in areas where there is a risk of explosion, nor for the control of
machines used to convey persons, unless it is explicitly approved by the manufacturer for these uses.
Modifications to the radio system may only be carried out by specialist personnel who have been
trained and authorized by HBC-radiomatic. All modifications must be documented at the factory in
the radio control master file.
The radio control system safety devices must not be modified, removed or bypassed. In particular,
modifications to any part of the radio system's complete emergency-stop system are impermissible.
Safety Instructions for Installation and Operation
The electrical connection per the accompanying output wiring diagram must be established by a
qualified electrician exclusively.
The receiver may only be opened by trained personnel. Components inside the receiver can be
energized at life-threatening voltages. The supply voltage for the machine must be deactivated
before the receiver is opened.
Please also note with radio systems, that the presence of persons in the danger zone - in particular
beneath the load (cranes!) - is prohibited in every instance.
Select a safe location for radio control, from which you have a good and complete view of the
working movements of the machine, the load movements and the surrounding working conditions.
It is not permissible to put a radio transmitter unattended to one side whilst activated. Always switch
the radio transmitter off when it is not required. This applies in particular if you change location,
when working without radio control, during breaks and at the end of work. Always safeguard the
radio transmitter against use by unauthorized persons, for example by locking it away.
In the event of an emergency and with all faults, switch the radio transmitter off immediately by
pressing the STOP switch.
Only operate the radio system when it is in perfect working order. Faults and defects that could
influence safety must be rectified before the system is put back into operation, by specialists who
have been trained and authorized by HBC-radiomatic.
Note that the operational directions of the operating elements may appear inverted depending on
location and viewing angle to the machine. This applies in particular to rotary cranes, if your location
changes from inside to outside the radius of the crane. The operator must make himself familiar with
the directional markings on the machine before the start of work.
Repairs may only be carried out by specialist personnel who have been trained and authorized by
HBC-radiomatic. Use original replacement parts and accessories (e.g. rechargeable batteries)
exclusively; otherwise it is possible that the equipment safety can no longer be guaranteed and our
extended warranty will be voided.
Remain vigilant when working with the radio system and familiarize yourself with its functions. This
applies in particular if you are working with it for the first time or if you work with it only occasionally.
Check each time before starting work the function of the STOP switch.
When you press the STOP switch with the transmitter on, the status LED and the display of the
transmitter have to go out. If the status LED and the display don’t go out then you have to disable
the radio control system immediately.
Remove the battery and the radiomatic®iLOG from the transmitter and inform a service technician.
