Transmitter and receiver are each equipped with an individual nameplate. Please indicate the data mentioned on these plates in all correspondence with SCHWING. If the present instruction manual is intended for a specific radio control system, you can enter the corresponding data in the text boxes below.
The joysticks have 3 control function levels each. Thus, the radio control system can be used for con- trolling all booms with 3, 4 or 5 sections as well as the 4-section boom with telescope from SCHWING. If any of the control function levels is not needed, the corresponding joystick movements remain without effect.
5.2-12 9. PRESENTATION OF THE SYSTEM COMPONENTS 9.1 TRANSMITTER The transmitter is equipped with the following monitoring and control elements: The joysticks Joysticks J1 (on the left) and J2 (on the right) are used for proportional control of the placing boom. Proportional means that the movement speeds of the placing boom are a function of how far the joy- sticks are moved out of their neutral position.

5.2-17 The LCD display (Fig. 1) The vertical indicator bar on the left indicates the charge condition of the transmitter battery and the bar on the right the signal strength at the receiver. The display moreover shows various machine operation data. The data indicated are the same as those on the display of the VECTOR control.
Page 18
5.2-18 9.2 THE RECEIVER (Fig. 1) The receiver is located in a suitable place on the machine and in most cases at the boom column. The receiver is connected by cable to the ma- chine control and to the external socket of the cable control.

5.2-20 10. THE CHECKBACK SYSTEM The check back function of the G3 radio control system serves the purpose of indicating current machine data on the transmitter display. Important information from the VECTOR control can thus be made available to the operator stand- ing at a distance from the machine.
