Radio Control - HTC 950 RX Manual

Radio control

The HTC 950 RX™ is the first radio-controlled grinding
machine in the world. This means that the operator need
not be close to the machine when it is working.
This has several advantages:
• The operator is not fatigued by walking slowly behind the
machine.
• The operator can deal with telephone calls etc without
stopping the work.
• The operator is not affected by the vibration of the mach-
ine.
The radio control unit and the machine are individually
paired. This means that only the correct radio controller
can control a machine. An identification code can be seen
on the machine identification plate and on the radio control
unit.
The operator must never leave the machine unattended
when it is working.
Operation via radio control unit – Radio control
When the "Radio On/Off" switch on the machine control
panel (see page 14 item 6) is turned to the right, the "Ra-
dio Enabled" LED lights up and the machine is ready to
be controlled with the radio control unit.
Start routine – Radio control
1. Release the "Stop/Emergency stop" button (1) on the
