SYNTHESIZED SETS USER MANUAL 1. INTRODUCTION This manual is a guide to the correct use of the range of ITOWA multi-frequency remote control sets. These sets have been specially designed for the wireless remote control of all types of electromechanical machinery.
SYNTHESIZED SETS USER MANUAL 2. GENERAL RULES FOR THE CORRECT AND SAFE USE OF THE RADIO CONTROL For maximum safety when handling the radio control, the user must follow the rules described in this manual. Whenever the crane has to be manoeuvred, the radio control operator must be in a place where he can view the whole manoeuvre being performed.
SYNTHESIZED SETS USER MANUAL 3. DESCRIPTION OF THE SET The remote controls of the SYNTHESIZED range are made up of the following elements: ● TRANSMITTER ● RECEIVER ● BATTERIES ● CHARGER 3.1. TRANSMITTER This is a sealed push-button box (IP 65 protection) in highly resistant plastic material. The manoeuvre push-buttons and display leds are in the front part.

USER MANUAL 3.1.2. WINNER TRANSMITTER With regards to the other Itowa transmitters, this transmitter has more leds to indicate the different status of functioning. Apart from the other differences described all through the manual, the main differences of the Winner transmitter with regards to the rest of Itowa equipments are the following ones: - When placing the battery, the transmitter tests its leds.

SYNTHESIZED SETS USER MANUAL 3.2. RECEIVER The receiver unit consists of a cabinet in which the various electronic systems are located to receive orders and activate / deactivate the corresponding relays for each manoeuvre of the crane. The receiver unit can be divided into three blocks (Fig. 3.13, UHF receiver, control circuit and relay circuit.

USER MANUAL 3.3. BATTERY CHARGER The ITOWA battery charger can quickly and safely charge Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries. The batteries supplied are in Ni-MH, from which the charger extracts their maximum power. The charger is capable of detecting faulty batteries, short circuits or overheating, and can recuperate batteries that have been flat for a long period of time.

Whenever possible, metal screens on the antenna should be avoided, in order to achieve a better radio link and avoid failures in communication. Itowa cannot be held responsible for faulty installations ATTENTION: THE FASTENING SET OF THE RECEIVER (METAL PARTS) MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE FASTENING THE RECEIVER ITSELF (EXCEPT IN THE MAGNETIC FASTENING OPTION).
SYNTHESIZED SETS USER MANUAL 1. Assemble the fastening on a stable and sturdy support. The size of the support should be adequate for the fastening. 2. Place the fastening vertically, using the alternative holes to the two central holes, if necessary, as shown in figure (2).
This hose will be connected to the set at one end, by means of the supplied Itowa connector, and the other end will be connected to a multi-pole connector identical to the one used by the machine to interconnect with a push-button box by cable. This enables the remote control or the cable control to be interchanged simply by connecting or disconnecting the flexible hose.
SYNTHESIZED SETS USER MANUAL 5.3. POWER SUPPLY OF THE RECEIVER ATTENTION: CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE SO THAT WHEN GENERAL SWITCH IS TURNED OFF, THE REMOTE CONTROL RECEIVER IS ALSO TURNED OFF. The receiver can be connected internally to three different voltages (230 Vac, 115 Vac, or 48 Vac), except the BETON receiver that connects to a set voltage of 24 Vdc or 12 Vdc, depending on the model.
SYNTHESIZED SETS USER MANUAL Switch off the emergency stop button (STOP BUTTON). When the START push-button is pressed, the remote control will start to operate by turning on the stop and start relays, and the general contactor will be interlocked. The led of the transmitter and the S1 led of the receiver (Operation led) will light up indicating that the remote control is in operating mode.
SYNTHESIZED SETS USER MANUAL 5.4.2. STATE OF BATTERIES The transmitter is equipped with a led indicating the state of the battery. When it detects that the battery is at a certain level of discharge, the led will start to flash and the horn relay will turn on intermittently (reserve).
As a general rule, it is advisable to periodically service the sealing devices that protect both the receiver and transmitter from weathering. Servicing should be carried out by an ITOWA authorised Technical Assistance Service, as incorrect sealing may cause irreparable damage to the equipment.
6.4. CHARGING THE BATTERIES The batteries supplied with ITOWA equipment do not have a memory effect, meaning that they can be charged without having to the totally flat. In order to lengthen their life span, it is recommended to use one battery in the morning and another in the afternoon.
SYNTHESIZED SETS USER MANUAL 7. DISPLAYING THE CODE AND THE WORKING CHANNEL OF THE 7.1. DISPLAY OF CODE If you want to know the code of the set, the receiver can display it by simply following a series of steps. To start displaying, the set should be in stand-by.

SYNTHESIZED SETS USER MANUAL 8. SCAN The equipment has several systems for the detection of abnormalities in case other equipments or systems may interfere within the communication between transmitter and receiver. Among these systems there is the scanning or frequencies, which will allow the tracking of the whole band in order to find which channels are or have been occupied by any other system that transmits in the same band.
Page 39
SYNTHESIZED SETS USER MANUAL The scanning process lasts around half a minute. Once it has ended leds will no longer realize this visualization and free channels will be shown. These channels are the result of the current scanning process plus any other scanning processes undergone while the equipment is in rest from the latest reset (last time the receiver has been given power supply).
