Introduction 5 (48) Introduction Remotus is Åkerströms product family for radio remote control of safety critical industrial and mobile ap- plications. Remotus Jupiter is Åkerströms’ standardized industrial remote control product line. The manual must be used when installing Åkerströms Remotus system to ensure a secure and safe operation. This manual only covers the installation of the Remotus radio remote control system.
Use of warnings and notes in this manual 6 (48) Use of warnings and notes in this manual Read all safety instructions throughout this manual and on safety signs attached to this equipment. Failure to follow all safety instructions could result in death or serious injury. The safety alert symbol is used to alert about potential personal injury hazards.
Specifications 7 (48) Specifications General: Operating frequency: 433-434 MHz Power output: < 10 mW Baud rate: 9600 b/s Transmission principle: GFSK, TDMA Channel Separation: 25 kHz Functional sensitivity: ≤-107 dBm BER 10-3 The radio full-fills: R&TTE Directive 99/5EC Reaction time on STOP function: Maximum 550 ms Safety category for the Stop function ISO 13849-1 Category 3 PL d...
Specifications 8 (48) Functional description The Remotus RX161 receiver uses a dual channel architecture combined with eight (8) safety re- lays whereof two safety relays are intended for the safety stop. The other 6 safety relays are used for crane movement and provides protection against unintended movement due to welded relay contacts (UMFS Category 3 PL d ISO 13849-1:2006).
Installation 9 (48) Installation The permanent installation of the receiver must include fuses to protect the equipment and wiring from over current and short circuit. In detail the power supply of the receiver and all relay contacts must be fused. All fuses are used as disconnecting devices.

Installation 11 (48) Cable installation If the receiver and/or receiver terminals are connected to more than one line phase the voltage between any connector must NOT exceed 250 V. If voltage of one phase is 230 V AC the corresponding three phase voltage is 380 V AC and thus NOT allowed.
Installation 12 (48) 6.3.1 Functional diagram The receiver functional diagram shows how to connect the equipment, in this manual the functional dia- gram is written as different program options, see chapter 11. 6.3.2 Principle connection of the Main contactors The radio remote control system is, for the safety stop function, designed for category 3 Pl d according to ISO 13849-1:2006.
Installation 13 (48) 6.3.3 AC supply Carefully check the power supply voltage level. 6.3.4 DC supply The connection cable for the DC supply shall be routed through 24VDC its own cable gland. Do not mix with NON SELV signals. 6.3.5 Digital inputs Carefully check the signal voltage level.
Installation 14 (48) Antenna placement The antenna is by default placed internally in Jupiter RX161, see figure below. Antenna board Antenna connector Figure 8. Internal antenna 6.4.1 In case of external antenna placement When mounting the antenna separately it must be placed as open (in free air) as possible preferably below the crane beam.
Commissioning 15 (48) Commissioning Frequency setting Fixed frequency channel set by the user. It´s only in the transmitter the frequency need to be set, see sec- tion 7.2.3 on page 18. Note that for 433MHz region “EU” or “Other” is set in both the transmitter and the receiver. For the receiver refer to Configuration Tool (manual 952576-000) and for the transmitter see 7.2.4 on page 18.
Commissioning 16 (48) Transmitter configuration mode Enter configuration menu Press the button on the bottom right (2 step) while pulling up the safety stop button. Hold down the button 3 seconds until the status indicator glows yel- low showing that the transmitter is in configuration mode.
Commissioning 17 (48) 7.2.2 PIN-code Configuration of the Transmitter The transmitter is equipped with a user configurable PIN-lock to prevent unauthorized access to the system. The PIN-lock is disabled by default. 1. Enter the configuration menu. Select number Delete (Press B1 number 2.
Commissioning 18 (48) 7.2.3 Radio Frequency Setting in the Transmitter Note before setting the frequency channel set the region “EU” or “Other” first. If there is a change be- tween “EU” or “Other” in the settings, the frequency channel has to be set again! To change the settings do the following: Browse Browse 1.
Commissioning 20 (48) 7.2.5 Adjustment of the Push Buttons Remaining and Momentary Functions The buttons either have momentary functions, which give a signal for only as long as you keep pressing, or remaining functions. Note that this function needs support from the receiver PLC. Before changing these parameters, check the program options. Only qualified personnel may make these changes.
Commissioning 21 (48) 7.2.7 Remote type (only Era 8B & 10BD) NOTE! The functionality of the transmitter is depending Browse Browse on this setting. This setting also alters the placement and symbols on the transmitter, see section 12.1. The Jupiter Era 8B transmitter can be set to 8/9 or 10 Buttons. For 9 and 10 more functions can be admitted with a SHIFT-function (B8 2 step).
Commissioning 22 (48) 7.2.8 Heavy weight PIN-code The transmitter is equipped with a user configurable heavy weight PIN-lock to prevent unauthorized access to heavy weight lift. The heavy weight PIN-code is disabled by default. Enable Heavy weight PIN code: Select number Delete (Press B1 number...
Commissioning 23 (48) Pairing of transmitter and receiver Set the region (“EU” or “Other”) and frequency channel before pairing! If multiple systems are used on the same site, carefull frequency planning is recommended. For location of receiver pairing button and indications LED 5, 6 see Figure 3 and Figure 12 Note! For pairing tandem/multi-operator operation see section “7.5 Tandem and Multi-operator Operation”...
Commissioning 24 (48) Micro (slow speed) Operation The SW3 dipswitch for adjusting micro setting is marked in Figure 3. See Figure 10 for settings. Non simultaneous - SW3:3 OFF The buttons/joysticks for movement are interlocked during this time so that only Non simultaneous one movement can be operated at a time.
Commissioning 25 (48) 7.5.1 Multi-operator operation 2 transmitters and 1 receiver In order to run multi-operator operation the receiver must be paired with two ID’s. First paired transmitter = transmitter 1. 1. Pair transmitter 1 to the receiver. Disconnect and reconnect the power source to the receiver. 2.

Pair transmitter 1 to receiver 1 (A). Disconnect the power source to the receiver, set the SW3 in “during operation”...
Commissioning 28 (48) CIM Card The CIM card is used for storing configuration information. You can take out the CIM-module from one system and place it in a spare transmitter with the same system program and it will work exactly* the same. This exchange has to be done in a clean, dry and ESD safe environment.
Function tests 29 (48) Function tests Before the following test is performed, make sure to prevent unintended movements of the controlled object from becoming a safety hazard. Check that the transmitter can control the receiver by testing all functions and note if the output relays and the corresponding inputs on the controlled object are activated.

Indications 31 (48) Transmitter indications 9.2.1 Status indicator If the transmitter under start up (if not PIN locked) or operation detects a fault in any of the transmitters self-tests, the status indicator (see section 12) will indicate a continuous red light, after which the trans- mitter is shut down.
Trouble shooting 32 (48) Trouble shooting 10.1 First check On push button transmitter: Ensure that a charged battery is inserted in the transmitter. The status indicator indicates following: • Slow green flashing means that the transmitter is fully operational • Fast yellow flashing means that the battery needs charging •...
Program Selection 33 (48) 10.3 Some output functions do not work If the LEDs indicate the output function the fault is likely to be found in the relay itself or in the cables/ contacts or in the controlled units’ electronics. If no LEDs are indicate the output function the fault is likely to be found in the transmitter.
