IMPORTANT TEXTS abcd… System description Industrial radio remote controls of the Modular series are used to control machines from a dis- tance. Each industrial radio remote control is made up of at least one portable transmitting unit, from which the user can remotely control the machine, and at least one receiving unit installed on board the machine itself.

The transmitting unit UTX-M can work: - in single mode, namely it can work with either of the two receiving units (either URX-1 or URX- - in tandem mode, namely it can work with both receiving units simultaneously The transmitting unit UTX-S can only work in single mode with the receiving unit URX-2. The receiving unit URX-1 can only be controlled by the transmitting unit UTX-M.
- one is used for the transmitting unit UTX-S, and can be decoded by both receiving units Conformity Each Modular series radio remote control is in conformity with FCC Rules (Part 90 for the transmitting unit and Part 15 for the receiving unit).
The machine producer and/or the person who decides upon radio remote control use and installation is responsible for this analysis. Autec cannot be held responsible if the risk analysis is not carried out correctly. When carrying out risk analysis for the machine, the following aspects regarding the radio re- mote control have to be considered: 1.working application...
Frequencies The radio frequency of Autec radio remote controls is included in the group of frequen- cies permitted by regulations that are current at the moment of radio remote control entry onto the market.

In this case, install the antenna in a vertical position, and possibly place it near the work area. Place the receiving unit so that it can be reached easily. Fix the receiving unit in 4 points, using the specific holes in the housing and the specific vibration dampers.
Ensure that the receiving unit has been disconnected from the power source be- fore carrying out any maintenance work. Any failures should be repaired by authorised Autec personnel using original Au- tec spare parts only. In order to work with a unit that is always efficient and safe, it is necessary to carry out correctly maintenance work (see chapter 7).

STOP The STOP pushbutton should be pressed when it is necessary to stop the machine immediately when a dangerous condition should occur. To stop the machine immediately, press the STOP pushbutton. To start working again, after checking that the working conditions are safe, turn the STOP pushbutton in the direction indicated to deactivate it and repeat the starting procedure.
Routine maintenance consists of operations carried out to maintain (through verifica- tions, restoration, programmed replacements) the use and working conditions fore- seen by Autec when the product is placed on the market. Special applications may need more specific routine maintenance actions to be carried out at different periods.
Any fault should be repaired by authorised personnel (contact Service), using original Autec spare parts only. The following radio remote control data must be communicated in order to make interventions faster and more reliable:...
PROGRAMMING The dip switches can only be programmed by authorised personnel; program- ming is only possible when the receiving unit is not powered and the battery has been removed from the transmitting unit. The incorrect closure of the transmitting and the receiving unit can compromise the seal between the casings and thereby the protection degree from dust and water.
Programming the receiving module To change the programming set in the radio module, it is necessary to open the receiving unit. The group of eight dip switches located on the radio modules is used to program some functions and set the working frequency. The programming set in the other group of four dip switches must never be modified.
Dip switch programming has to correspond to that given in the technical data sheet and must not be modified. Programming the bus board E16RI02_ Autec programs this bus board and programming is recorded in the data memory that configures outputs of the receiving unit. Data memory...
DIAGNOSTICS If the system “machine+radio remote control” does not start, check if the problem is caused by the radio remote control or the machine. Therefore, before carrying out any verification connect the cable control unit: if the machine does not start, the problem lies with the machine itself. If, on the other hand, the machine only starts when using the cable control unit, the problem lies with the radio remote control.
Receiving unit diagnostics If diagnostics described in paragraph 9.1 has been carried out with the transmitting unit UTX-S of a “Master/Slave” system, carry out the diagnostic procedure with the receiving unit URX-2. If diagnostics described in paragraph 9.1 has been carried out with the transmitting unit UTX-M of a “Master/Slave”...
