Page 16: Precautions For Installing And Wiring The Radio Receiver
Radio Receiver Installation Position and Wiring (continued) ■ About a Dead Point An electric wave transmitted from the radio transmitter may have its strength weakened locally by the one reflected on the wall, etc. due to its characteristics. Such a point is called a dead point. If the radio receiver enters the dead point, the electric wave’s strength is weakened even in the same building, there may occur phenomena such as disrupting the communications for a moment, but this is not a device failure.
Page 17 • In case there is a risk for an electromagnetic switch to generate an excessive counter electromotive voltage, be sure to consult KITO before installation. Failure to comply with these instructions causes bodily injury or loss of property. (to be continued)
Page 18: How To Wire
Radio Receiver Installation Position and Wiring (continued) ■ How to Wire See the following precautions and the wiring procedures to wire the crane and hoist. Wiring differs depending on the type of the equipment operated such as the crane and hoist. For details, check the relevant wiring diagrams properly to wire them.
Page 19 To equipment operated (crane, hoist, trolley) Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 on Page 21 onward show the examples of standard wiring for KITO electric chain hoist (ER2 series) (except for lighting and horn wiring).

Page 23: Operation
Operation ■ Charging the Battery Charge the battery before using it for the first time. ■ How to Charge 1) Set the battery in a charger. 2) Insert an accompanying AC adapter into the lower plug socket of the charger to supply the power to the charger. The operating voltage of the AC adapter is 100V to 240V AC.
Page 24 • Do not put a dry cell battery pack in the charger, which is an accessory of the radio transmitter. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in death or serious injury. • Use only a genuine battery to charge. Use only the charger and AC adapter provided by KITO for this product to charge the battery.
Page 25 DANGER • Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. • Do not use the exclusive charger to charge other batteries. • Do not place the charger directly on the floor. Dust and dirt tend to accumulate in the concaves, causing a Prohibited failure.
Page 26: Replacing And Using The Dry Cell Batteries
• Before cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the power cable of the AC adapter from the charger. • Check that the inscriptions on the nameplate are legible and not defaced. If they are illegible or defaced, request KITO for replacement. Mandatory •...

Page 29 ■ Basic Operation It is interlocked so as to allow only one radio transmitter to be operated for one radio receiver. If you have purchased together with a spare radio transmitter, the right of operation is given to the radio transmitter which has gone through start operation first.
Page 30 Operation (continued) ■ Trial Run Before actual work, be sure to conduct a trial run in the following manner when the radio system is ready for operation. 1) Once installation and wiring of the radio receiver and preparation of the radio transmitter are completed, check the tightening and wiring conditions again, and check also whether the equipment is operated in the directions as indicated by the radio transmitter’s operation buttons.
Page 31: Safety Functions
CAUTION • Except when operating alone, operate according to the signals from a person working together after fully checking the surrounding safety. • In case there are two or more radio cranes, be sure to check that the radio transmitter is for the intended Mandatory crane.
Page 32: Handling The Spare Radio Transmitter
Operation (continued) ■ Handling the Spare Radio Transmitter ■ Transferring the Right of Operation to the Spare Radio Transmitter It is interlocked so as to always allow only one radio transmitter to be operated for one radio receiver. If you have purchased together with the spare radio transmitter, the right of operation is transferred to the radio transmitter which has gone through start operation first.

Page 44: Changing The Button ⑦ To The Lighting Button (Latch Type)
2.2 Changing the Button ⑦ to the Lighting Button (Latch Type) The button ⑦ functions as a horn button (momentary type) upon shipment, but it can be changed to a lighting one (latch type). * The lighting button (latch type) is turned on by pressing it once and turned off by pressing it again. Setting method 1) Check that the stop button of the radio transmitter having the right of operation is pressed.
Page 45: Registering The New Radio Transmitter With The Radio Receiver
2.3 Registering the New Radio Transmitter with the Radio Receiver Method 1: When setting with the radio transmitter and receiver (when newly adding a radio transmitter) In the cases such as purchasing a new radio transmitter, it is necessary to register it with the radio receiver. Up to 8 radio transmitters can be registered with the radio receiver.
Page 46: Method 2: When Setting Only With The Radio Transmitter
Method 2: When setting only with the radio transmitter (such as when the radio transmitter is out of order or lost) This setting changes over the ID (peculiar number) of the radio transmitter already registered with the radio receiver to that of the newly registered one. Once the setting is enabled, note that the already registered radio transmitter is disabled and cannot communicate with the radio receiver.
Page 47: Resetting The Right Of Operation With The Radio Receiver
2.4 Resetting the Right of Operation with the Radio Receiver When the radio transmitter having the right of operation gets out of order or lost, the right of operation can be reset with the radio receiver. Operating method 1) Hold down the selection button of the radio receiver until the function LED is turned on and off. 2) The radio receiver’s right of operation is reset.
