2.2 Precauons and safety instrucons
Precauons
GENERAL
A system can be dangerous. Safety precauons and instrucons are important.
• If these precauons cannot be obeyed, then use warnings.
• The responsibility for precauons and warnings lies with the installer of the system. Refer to the,
local or naonal, laws and regulaons of the country if a cercaon (mark) is necessary.
• Parts of the electrical or electronic installaons are connected to dangerous electrical voltages.
Work without professional competence or not obeyed warning instrucons could cause injury
and/or material damage.
Suggeson to perform an operaon more eecve.
May result in damage or problems if an acon is performed
incorrectly.
May result in minor injury if the hazard is not avoided.
Signicant injury, possible death, if the hazard is not avoided.
Severe injury and possible death if the hazard is not avoided.

• Ridder is not responsible for injury, material damage or consequenal damage if accessories are
used that Ridder did not make.
TRANSPORT, STORAGE AND PACKAGING
The condions and instrucons that follow are applicable.
• Ambient temperature: -15 to +60 °C (+5 to +140 °F).
• Ambient: A not-condensed relave humidity is necessary.
• Do a check for transport damage and missing parts immediately on incoming goods.
• Tell damages and missing parts immediately to the transport company and to your local Aer
Sales contact person.
• Do not use damaged products and if necessary do not start the work.
• Send the product to the installaon site before it is removed from the (sealed) packaging. This
prevents damage (from mechanical shocks) to the product.
• Use applicable means-of-transport with dimensions which are sucient. Use (if necessary) the
correct work equipment and accessories. Refer to “Dimensions” and “Technical specicaons”.
Make sure that the working condions comply with the, local or naonal, laws and regulaons.
• Make sure that storage areas and the areas in the means-of-transport are dry and the airow is
sucient.
• Make sure that the products do not touch the (moist) boom surface of storage areas and of the
means-of-transport (use pallets or such). The boom surfaces must be smooth.
• Make sure that the products are protected from dust, dirt and direct sunlight.
• Apply an applicable corrosion-prevenve agent to surfaces that are not painted.
• Aer installaon discard the packaging and obey the applicable naonal and/or local regulaons.
Safety instrucons
• Use (if applicable) personal protecve-equipment for protecon which agrees with the dierent
types of work.
• Do not let persons and not approved personnel be near controls and systems in operaon.
• Damaged systems must be stopped immediately unl they are repaired.
• Use safety barriers, for system parts that move, to a height of 2.5 m from the ground.
• The safety distance to the danger zone (if applicable) must agree with ISO 13857:2008.
• Do not operate systems when persons are in the danger zone and can touch the system.
• Monitor the danger zone when you work with or near the system.
• Stop and de-energize systems during maintenance and cleaning work on or near the system.
• Make sure that there is sucient space between parts that move and adjacent objects.
• Stay away from or safety areas where there is a risk to become caught in a system that moves.
• The torque and the duty cycle of the system must be in the range of the motor gearbox
parameters. Refer to the product manual of the used Ridder motor-gearbox at ridder.com.
If you do not obey the safety instrucons that follow it can be
dangerous and cause injury.

2.3 Residual risks
Automac Controls
The Ridder control-units are usually used in automac controlled systems. Persons who do work
or stay near the system must know about that. If persons or their clothes touch the system during
operaon, it can be dangerous.
Forces
Because of the forces in the systems (in which the control unit is installed), Ridder cannot be sure
that there will be no injury to persons or damage to the system.

3.2 Descripon
The RMC400 is a control unit to control Ridder motor-gearboxes. All
the electrical components of the RMC400 control-unit are built-in to
a plasc housing. Supply is with or without a motor-protecon circuit-
breaker (MPCB) and manual control (MC).
The control unit is applicable to:
• Dierent supply voltages
• Dierent mains frequencies
• 3-phase and 1-phase voltages.
The control unit has a control board with a microprocessor and a
semiconductor relay.
The control board has connecons for:
• The supply voltage
• The power supply for the electric motor (EM)
• An automac control signal (24 V AC/DC) from an automac control-system (ACS)
• A manual control (MC) (units without a built-in MC)
• A fault contact (NC) that can be part of an alarm circuit
• A PTC thermistor in the electric motor (EM) for thermal protecon
• A digital posioning-meter (RPU).
The limit-switch system is also connected to the control board of the control unit.
The RMC400 control-unit transmits control signals from the automac control-system (ACS) or
manual control (MC) and monitors if these are processed without malfuncons. The control unit has
rotaonal-eld detecon and phase detecon of the supply voltage.
The 24 V AC/DC control input is protected from:
• Control in two direcons at the same me
• Sudden changes of direcon.
The control unit has status LEDs to show error messages of the system.
The RMC400 control-unit has plug connectors and terminal strips to connect the cables. To pull the
cables through, out of the housing, the control unit also has cable glands. The protecon rang of
the RMC400 housing is IP54.
