INTRODUCTION After a decade of success and of satisfaction for IMET customers, the M550 series passes the baton to the new M880 family. IMET designs and manufactures industrial safety radio remote controls since 1988. The M880 series features advanced radio remote controls with new technical features that facilitate use by giving great flexibility to the user.

User’s Manual (the annexes are an integral part of the manual) Warranty Certificate If any document is missing, please contact IMET and provide the unit’s serial number. 2. CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS MANUAL Warning: This symbol indicates instructions to be strictly followed for the radio remote control to work properly.
WARNING: Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by IMET may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment. RF EXPOSURE NOTICE: The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
6. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Before performing any maintenance operation, turn off the power to both, the receiving unit and the machine, and remove the battery from the transmitter. Do not expose to heat sources Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight ...
7. INSTALLING THE RADIO REMOTE CONTROL We recommend following the instructions below, in order to set up a properly operating radio remote control system. The radio remote control should be installed by qualified personnel only. Install the receiving unit or its antenna (in case of versions with an external antenna) in the line of sight of the transmitting unit, with no electromagnetic shielding.
7.2. Connecting the receiver Do not perform any operation until the equipment is powered off. The power supply for the radio remote control should be located downstream from the machine’s main switch. Connecting it directly to the mains distribution network is prohibited. The mains disconnecting switch must be equipped with a device to prevent unauthorized closing (padlock).
Use a tuned antenna only, and connect it to the receiver using an RG58 coaxial cable (impedance 50). Only use the antennas supplied by IMET; other types of antenna must be approved in conformity to the standard ETSI EN 300 200-2.
Attention: In order to maintain the safety category (PLe Category 4 according to ISO 13849-1), the STOP circuit relays must be connected in series (standard IMET pre - wiring configuration), or else in AC applications, individually connected in series to the phase line and neutral, ONLY for the mains power interruption (See Example 2).

7.11. Analog command board (PCB261) This board can control 8 proportional outputs (PWM: voltage and current) by inserting the appropriate IMET command modules. Command modules M550C2: 0-20mA/4-20mA current-operated control M550C1: PWM current-operated control M550V: voltage-operated control The frequency value of the PWM oscillator can be set by adjusting the R11 trimmer and shorting solder-jumpers T1, T2 or T3.
7.12. Logic board (PCB260) The logic board receives and decodes the commands coming from the transmitting unit. The board is preset for an (optional) serial connection with the transmitting unit for data reception via cable. Error B Generally OFF: when flashing, it reports uB error codes Stop B RED while uB is STOPPED;...
7.13. Data feedback card (PCB262) The data feedback card is used when it is necessary to collect data from the application and send it via radio to the display of the transmitting unit. Data collection can be done by means of 16 digital inputs (OPTOCOUPLED) and 8 analog inputs (voltage or current configurable).
7.14. Relay cards On the H receiver, different cards can be mounted on the free slots, depending on the user’s requirements.

Potentiometer card (M880DT2) Used for controlling tower cranes. The potentiometer card lets you set the operating speeds independently.
7.17. Connection diagrams for L receivers The L receiving units are equipped with a slot that can be used for: 1 card with relay outputs for AC or DC versions or, alternatively 1 card with MOSFET outputs + 1 card with analog outputs for DC versions only The safety enable relay and the basic functions are located directly on the motherboard, as shown in the table in Chap.

7.22. Serial data transmission (PCB262) The radio remote control is preset for optional serial data transmission and acquisition. The connection between the radio remote control and the user’s equipment is done with a 15m long serial cable (for standard RS232) and a Baud Rate of (9600 sps). For lengths over 15m, move on to standard RS485. 7.23.
This option is used to exchange commands and data via cable between the transmitter and the receiver. The serial connection cable excludes the radio frequency transmission and the receiver provides the power for the transmitter. To restore radio operation, disconnect the cable from one of the two sides and turn-on the radio remote control by pushing the START button.
When present, turn the key lock switch counterclockwise. Remove the battery The transmitter will turn off, the safety circuits will open and all active commands will be disabled. The transmitting unit also turns off when the battery runs down completely. 8.5.

0°C and 45°C (values recommended by Lipo and Li.-ion cells manufacturers) Warning: Explosion hazard if non-compatible batteries are used! Use IMET batteries only. See Chap. 14 for information on the disposal of exhausted batteries.
9. CHANGING THE OPERATING FREQUENCY If any specific setting has not been made, the radio selects a frequency channel assigned by AFA mode (Automatic Frequency Agility). This mode allows the radio channel change as a result of disturbances detected due to other radio devices operating on the same frequency. There may be cases in which it is preferable to disable the AFA mode, by operating on a fixed channel selected by the operator, doing the procedure described below.
69 (30) 434.775 MHz IMET radio remote controls comply with the specifications of ERC Recommendation 70-03 Annex1 Band F1/F2. The national authorities for telecommunications may impose further restrictions or require use permits in the single countries. All member states allow their free use.
2475 MHz 2480 MHz IMET radio remote controls comply with the specifications raccomandazione ERC/REC 70-03 Annex1 Band I, Annex 3 Sub-band a. The national authorities for telecommunications may impose further restrictions or require use permits in the single countries. All member states allow their free use.
During the programming or test phase, the DSC function is not active. The DSC function is excluded by the activation of the "Snail-S" mode. TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter contains advice on handling radio remote control malfunctions. First of all, make sure that the problem actually depends on the remote control. To do so, operate the machine using the wired remote control instead of the radio remote control.
11.1. Malfunctions in the transmitter’s STOP circuit Once you’ve pressed START , in case a malfunction in the STOP circuit is detected, the transmitting unit stops giving the mushroom push-button error code. Please test the radio remote control to verify the functioning of the STOP circuit.

14. DISPOSAL (EU zone) Once no longer in use, the radio remote control should be handed over to the local waste disposal service. The symbol of the crossed-out waste container on the device means that it must be handled separately from normal waste. The owner is responsible for handing over scrapped equipment to the designated points of collection for the recycling of electric or electronic waste material.
