- Tilt: the Zero-G sensor activates when the Transmitting Unit is tilted for more than one second by a defined dangle with respect to the ground. The value of the tilting angle is set by Autec, but it is decided by the Machine Manufacturer and/or by the installer (possible options: 45°/60°/90°). -
Page 26: Starting Up The Radio Remote Control
Machine Manufacturer and/or the Installer of the Radio Remote Control can also enable a PIN code. Autec will enable the PIN code for the Radio Remote Control start up only upon request by the Machine Manufacturer and/or the Radio Remote Control Installer. - Page 27 Note: the default PIN code set by Autec is the following: - PIN 1 = START - PIN 2 = FUNCTION - PIN 3 = START Autec will set a customized PIN code only upon request by the Machine Manufacturer or the Installer. 8.9.3 Procedure to modify the PIN code If a PIN code is needed for the Transmitting Unit, it can be modified to limit the use of the Radio Remote Control.

Page 28: Command Activation
- The red LED blinks fast: the Transmitting Unit has a 10-minute run time from the onset of signal, after which the Transmitting Unit will automatically switch off. It is necessary to bring the Machine to a safe state and replace the battery with a charged one (see paragraph 8.6). LIUSK8B00_eng-01 AUTEC... -
Page 29: Switching Off The Transmitting Unit
Activating any actuator corresponding to a movement command reduces the predetermined automatic switch-off time (SWITCH-OFF) to zero. Setting or removal of the automatic switch off time (SWITCH-OFF) is done by Autec and decided by the Machine Manufacturer or by the Installer, depending on the operation and functions they need on the Machine. -
Page 30: Data Feedback Function
If the Transmitting Unit has an LED array for the Data Feedback function, specific Machine conditions are signalled if they are illuminated (by way of example: load limits, limit switch). The signalled conditions depend on the settings chosen by the Machine Manufacturer. LIUSK8B00_eng-01 AUTEC... -
