All industrial rights reserved. 1.2 Customer service Our after-sales service will provide you with all technical information on Demag products and their systematic application. Should you have any questions regarding our products, please refer to one of our after-sales service stations, the relevant representative or the manufacturer.
We expressly point out that only genuine Demag spare parts and accessories ap- proved by us may be used. Accordingly, this also applies to other manufacturers‘ parts supplied by us.
1.5 Definitions Owner Owners (employer, company) are defined as a person who owns such a system and who uses it appropriately or allows it to be operated by suitable and instructed persons. Operating personnel/operator Operating personnel or operators are defined as persons entrusted by the owner of the system with the operation of the system.
2.2 Appropriate use The DRC-10 hand-held transmitter is intended to be used as an operating unit and transmitter station for the DRC-DR and DRC-MP radio receivers. The scope of functions is preferably designed for wireless control of crane installations, travelling hoist units, chain and rope hoists, transfer carriages and similar applications.
Page 8
Whether and to which extent such measures are required can only be determined by means of suitable measurements on site or when the system is put into operation. Demag is not responsible for such addi- tional technical measures.
2.3 Inappropriate use Certain work and practices are prohibited when using the system as they may involve danger to life and limb and result in lasting damage to the product, e.g.: • Manipulating electrical equipment • Connecting the unit to power supply with voltage or frequency other than those specified on the type plate •...
Modifications, additions to and conversions of the product which might impair safety in any way must not be carried out without the approval of Demag. Safety devices must not be rendered inoperative.
Before switching on/putting into operation of the crane/machine controlled by the radio control system with the DRC-10 hand-held transmitter, it must be ensured that nobody is endangered by operation of this crane. If the operator notices persons who may be exposed to a risk to health or personal safety by operation of the equipment, he must suspend operation immediately and may not resume operation again until the persons are outside the danger zone.
Hand-held transmitter DRC-10 • The Demag DRC-DR radio receiver is a pluggable PCB for installation in the electrical equipment cover of the DR hoist unit. The interface of this receiver component to the crane control system and power supply by the DR electrical equipment is the CAN safety bus.

As standard, all keys on the hand-held transmitter are designated in the factory with the relevant foil symbols. If requested by the owner, it is also possible to apply other, for example, country- specific symbols for the direction keys on the radio control system. The owner then has to remove the existing symbols and apply symbols required by him.

It is saved in the radio receiver and it can only be entered via the hand- held transmitter. Display of selected travelling hoist(s) The display of the selected travelling hoists is only active, if there are two travelling hoists and both can be operated with one radio control system.

If the correct assignment is not checked, unintended crane movements may cause serious damage and injuries, even resulting in death. Log-on of a DRC-10 hand-held transmitter to a DRC-MP or DRC-DR radio receiver establishes the assignment between the relevant hand-held transmitter, the con- trolled radio receiver and the crane that is unique world-wide.

7.4.4 Standby mode The display shows the lock icon. No radio connection is displayed. In standby mode, power consumption of the transmitter is strongly reduced and the radio con- nection is de-activated. The operator can switch on Standby mode by using the switch-off procedure, sec- tion 7.3, and by plugging-in the charger.
Power supply of the hand-held transmitter The hand-held transmitter is supplied with power by means of the rechargeable battery pack included in the scope of supply or by two NiMh rechargeable batter- ies, size AA (LR6). he batteries must be charged in good time by means of the appropriate plug-in charger.
The charging process comprises quick charging and trickle charging mode. Quick charging mode: This process takes approx. 2 h, if the battery is empty, it charges the battery to approx. 80 %. Trickle charging mode: After quick charging, the system switches over to trickle charging mode with a lower charging current so that the hand-held transmitter can remain connected to the charger for any period of time.
