SECTION I. THE BASICS
RADIO CONTROLS
A. Provide a solution to problems of using a pendant control
1. Move freely around the load to make sure no obstacles in the area of travel and get a better view of the
operating field.
2. Allows operators to control cranes from safe distance, out of the range of load swing, or load dropping.
3. Pendant can also be heavy and cumbersome were as a radio is small and lightweight.
B. A radio control has two major components

1. Receiver
2. Transmitter
C. Each manufacturer of radio control is under FCC regulation

1. Power can only go to a max of 300 ft.
2. Each manufacturer has to stay within their frequency bandwidth
D. In order for a transmitter to work with a receiver, both have to have;

1. Same frequency assigned
2. Address code or ID code
TRANSMITTER
A. A transmitter or radio transmitter is an electronic device which produce radio waves with an antenna
1. Transmitter itself generates a radio frequency, alternating current, which applied to the antenna when
excited by this alternating current, antenna radiates radio waves. (es. Cell Phone, Bluetooth)
B. Term transmitter is often abbreviated “XMTR” or “TX” in technical document
C. The purpose of most transmitter is to communicate with a receiver through a wave form at a certain distance
away from a load
1. This information is provided to the transmitter in the form of electronics signal such as audio signal from a
microphone or digital input.
2. Transmitter combines the information signal to be carried with radio frequency signal which generates the
radio waves, called the carrier waves.

Section 1 - The Basics Group
D. Component
1. Power supply circuit transform the input electrical power to the high voltage needed to produce the
required power output.
2. Electronic oscillator circuit to generate the radio frequency signal, sometime called carrier waves.
a. In most modern transmitter this is a crystal oscillator in which frequency is precisely controlled by the
vibration of a quartz crystal.
3. Modulator circuit to add the information to be transmitted to the carrier wave produced by the oscillator.
RECEIVER
A. Is an electronic device that receive radio waves and converts the information carried by them to a
usable form.
1. Used with an antenna
2. Antenna intercepts radio waves (electromagnetic waves) and converts them to tiny alternating current
which are applied to the Receiver.
3. Use a electronic filter to separate the desired radio frequency signal from all other signal pick-ups by the
antenna
4. Electronic amplifier to increase the power signal for further processing
5. Recovers the desired information through demodulation.
B. Bandpass Filler
1. Many radio waves from many transmitters pass through the air simultaneously without interfering with
each other.
2. Bandpass Filler will allow the frequency of the desired radio transmission to pass through that certain
receiver while blocking all other frequency.

SECTION II. RADIO CONTROLS

Radio controls is the use of radio signals to remotely control a device.
A. Radio frequency is the frequency range or Hertz used in radio extending from 20 thousand times per second to around
300 billion times per second (300 GHZ)
1. Roughly between the upper limit of audio frequency and the lower limit of infared frequency
2. RF (Radio Freqency) usually refers to electrical rather than mechanical osscillations
3. Energy from RF current in conductor can radiate into space as an electromagnetic wave. (Radio Waves)
4. Bandwidth
3 - 30 HZ EXTREMELY LOW
30 - 300 HZ SUPER LOW
300 - 3000 HZ ULTRA LOW
3 - 30 KHZ VERY LOW
30 - 300 KHZ LOW
300 KHZ - 3 MHZ MEDIUM
3 - 30 MHZ HIGH
30 - 300 MHZ VERY HIGH
300 MHZ - 3 GHZ ULTRA HIGH
Goes up to 3000 GHZ - 3 THZ (Tera) Frequency of 1 GHZ and above are conventionally called microwave.
While freqency of 30 GHZ and above are designated millimeter wave.

ProservCrane
Section 2 - Radio Controls Group
BANDWIDTH
A. Is the difference between the upper and lower frequency in a continuous band of frequency.
1. Typically measured in hertz and depending on context, may specifically refer to pass bandwidth.
ANTENNA
A. Is the interface between radio waves propagating through space and electric current moving in metal
conductor used with a transmitter or receiver.
1. In transmission a radio transmitter supplies an electric current to the antenna’s terminal and antenna
radiates the energy from the current as electromagnetic waves.
2. Reception - An antenna intercepts some of the power of an electromagnetic wave in order to produce an
electric current at its terminal
B. Two Types of Antenna

1. Omnidirectional radiating energy approximately equally in all directions.
2. Directional where energy radiated more along one direction than other.
C. Freqency Hopping
1. Is a method of transmitting radio signal by rapidly switching a carrier wave among many frequency.
2. Each available frequency band is divided into subfrequency signal. A rapidly change among these in a
predetermined order.
D. Freqency Scanning
1. Radio frequency band for detecting signal being transmitted there.
2. Can automatically tune or scan two or more discrete frequency stopping when it finds a signal on one of
the bandwidth.
E. Different Types of Radio Controls that we use:

1. Magnetek
a. Telepilot
b. Flex Ex
2. Remtron

ACCESS CODE PROGRAMMING
Programming Access Codes

The access code is set at the factory and should not be changed unless absolutely necessary. If you are
reprogramming a spare or new transmitter make sure the other transmitter is securely taken out of service. Also
a label on the transmitter lists the access code settings inside. The positions on the transmitter label match the
switch settings. The “l” by Al means the switch position Al should be “ON” and “O” means Al should be “OFF”.

OPERATION
Transmitter Buttons
ON/OFF On the te/ePilot and Pendant Transmitter ON and OFF is the same button. Pushing this button toggles
between turning the transmitter ON and then sending the ON command to the receiver and sending the OFF
command to the receiver and then turning the transmitter OFF.
NOTE
IN THE TELEPILOT THE TRANSMITTER DOES NOT TURN ON TILL THE ON PUSHBUTTON IS RELEASED AFTER BEING
DEPRESSED TO TURN ON. THE OFF FUNCTION IS IMMEDIATE UPON DEPRESSING THE ON/OFF PUSHBUTTON.
(Membrane only) ON Turns the transmitter ON and then sends the· ON command to the receiver. OFF Sends the
OFF command to the receiver and then turns the transmitter OFF.
E-STOP (EMS) - Stops all equipment movement and disables all functions except Alarm. Reset the system for
normal operation by turning the transmitter “OFF” then “ON”. Use for emergencies only (NOT FOR NORMAL SHUT
DOWN).
NOTE
ON THE TELEPILOT TRANSMITTER THE USER CAN CHOOSE AND CUSTOM LABEL THE FUNCTIONS FOR A SPECIFIC
MOTOR; THE FUNCTIONAL DESIGNATIONS SHOWN BELOW ARE COMMON AND TRADITIONAL DESIGNATIONS.
Common 2-Speed Designations Listed Below:
Motor 1 Dir 1, (Hoist) UP - Selects hoist movement in the UP direction speed one (first switch position) or speed
two (second switch position).
Motor 1 Dir 2, (Hoist) DN/DOWN - Selects hoist movement in the DOWN direction speed one (first switch
position) or speed two (second switch position).

Motor 2 Dir 2, (W Membrane)/SOUTH Pendant - Selects the appropriate direction of the bridge or trolley
position).
Motor 3 Dir 1, (N Membrane)/EAST Pendant - Selects the appropriate direction of the bridge or trolley
position).
Motor 3 Dir 2, (S Membrane)/WEST Pendant - Selects the appropriate direction of the bridge or trolley
position).
(te/ePilot Only) Optional 4th Motor Or Select with Indicators A B
The AUX 3 pushbutton can be designated as an auxiliary motor select. As an example, for systems that have a
main and auxiliary hoist, pushing this switch will toggle the function of the set of motor 1 pushbuttons between
the outputs for main and auxiliary hoist.
There are two red LEDs above this pushbutton labeled “A” and “B”. The “A” LED comes ON for the main func-
tion and the “B” comes ON for the auxiliary. As the pushbutton is toggled the sequence of outputs and LEDs is as
follows. Normally the main output only is active and the “A” LED is lit. Pushing the pushbutton lights only the “B”
LED and the auxiliary output only is active. Pushing the pushbutton a second time lights both “A” and “B” LEDs
and both main and auxiliary outputs are active in tandem (this tandem operation can be disabled See Section 7-8.
te/ePilot Programming). When turning the transmitter ON the default condition is always “A”.
This pushbutton can be used with the Select function also. When used for the Select function the “A” and “B”
LEDs work as described in the above paragraph when toggling the Select 1 output and the Select 2 outputs
respectively.

telePILOT PROGRAMMING
Read Section 5-5. Additional telePilot Operational Features to familiarize you with the features listed below. The
te/ePilot transmitter remote unit for programming uses a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). Such products as Palm
Pilot® or many other products using Palm OS® can be used to run the telePilot programming software. If unsure
if your PDA will work or for a recommended product contact the appropriate Telemotive representative or check
our website. The software for the PDA is available on a disk shipped with your unit,”can be emailed from your
Telemotive representative or downloaded from our Website at www.telemotive.com.
telePilot PDA software is quite user friendly and is intended to mimic the dip switch settings used in other
Telemotive products without the inconvenience of having to open the transmitter case. The PDA software allows
you to select frequency, access code, time-out-timer settings, switch arrangement and crane configuration as in
other Telemotive transmitter products.
Load the telePilot programming software into your PDA, refer to your PDA manual or contact Telemotive for the
appropriate procedure. Once loaded, look for the Telemotive circle and hook logo labeled te/ePilot for the
appropriate application. Select this application to begin programming.
With the telePilot programmer you can load up to four different transmitter types for use on l0K, 9000 and/or
9100 systems. Each transmitter configuration is stored in a “Bank”. There are up to four banks available. This
Bank feature is like having four completely different transmitters in one unit. Up to four Banks (operational
configurations) are possible. A Bank is a specific configuration of user-defined parameters including:
System Type
Frequency AccessCodes
Also possible:
Key Arrangement
Relay Configuration
Tandem Disable
Invert Crane Select
Time-Out-Timer Time
Mode Selection
Alarm Settings
After loading the te/ePilot program the first screen is the initial setup screen.

PROGRAMMING (CONTINUED)
Tx Type (Must be selected).
First select the transmitter type being used (single-speed “I SPD” or 2-speed “2 SPD”). See Section 5. Operation
for differences in the two transmitters. With your PDA stylus tap the arrow after transmitter “Tx Type”. A pull down
menu will appear, select “1 SPD” or “2 SPD” and the menu will close showing your selection.
Bank Password (Can be disabled).
Bank password protection is available in changing the transmitter once it has turned OFF. The Bank Password is
the same for all Banks. Bank password protection is described in the te/ePilot operational description in Section
5-5. Additional te/ePilot Operational Features. Please familiarize yourself with this section before programming. A
check appears in the box and a list of four buttons. These buttons list the first through fourth buttons and are in
the order of entry for the appropriate buttons. Select the four transmitter buttons in the sequence that you wish to
be the password by tapping the arrow by “Button #” and making a selection from the pull down menu for each of
the four password entries. Be sure to write this password down in a safe place for future reference. The default
password is 6, 5, 4, 3.
NOTE: ALWAYS REMEMBER TO STORE THE PASSWORD IN A SECURE LOCATION FOR ACCESS IF THE PASSWORD IS LOST OR
FORGOTTEN. ONCE THE TRANSMITTER IS PROGRAMMED THERE IS NO WAY TO DEFEAT THE PASSWORD WITHOUT USING A
PDA TO EITHER READ THE PASSWORD OUT OR REPROGRAM A NEW ONE.
! WARNING
THIS PASSWORD FUNCTION IS NOT TO BE USED AS A SECURITY DEVICE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS
FUNCTION IS TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL BANK SWITCHING. THE BEST FORM OF SECURITY IS
ALWAYS TO LOCKUP THE TRANSMITTER WHEN NOT IN SERVICE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS
WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
The Bank password can be disabled during initial programming by the PDA. To disable password protection, tap
the check in the box next to the phase “Use bank password”. Disabling the Bank password is not recommended
unless the operator has access and visibility to all possible cranes controlled.

OPERATION (CONTINUED)
It is not necessary to program all four Banks, if an un-programmed or turned “off’ Bank is selected the ON/OFF(!)
indicator will remain ON continuously, the transmitter will send no commands and will turn itself off shortly.
telePilot Bank Password Protection Function.

This enables the owner to create a four-stroke password word to enable changing Banks. With Password enabled
the operator selects a four-button sequence to enable a Bank after different Bank has been selected (see above).
When the transmitter is turned ON, after Bank Selection is made and the ON/OFF indicator will remain lit until
the correct password sequence is entered with in five seconds. An incorrect password sequence or failure to
enter the sequence in time shuts the unit OFF. The user is allowed to restart and try again an unlimited amount of
times. The Bank Password is the same for all Banks.

Even though the Flex system is equipped with an automatic channel scanning receiver, the user
can also set the receiver channel manually. Please refer to page 32 on how the automatic
channel scanning receiver works.
Set the receiver channel by adjusting the channel dip-switch located on the receiver module
(refer to Fig. 12 above), only the first six (6) positions are used for channel programming (refer to
Fig. 13 below). The system channels table located on page 26 illustrates which dip-switch setting
corresponds to which channel. Once the receiver channel is altered make sure to change the
transmitter channel as well. The channel on both the transmitter and receiver must be identical in
order for the system to work. To change the transmitter channel please refer to page 13.
Example: Top slot → “1”

Bottom slot → “0”

4.1.3 Channel Change via Push Buttons
Other than CHANNEL dip-switch on the encoder board, the transmitter channel can also be
changed directly on the push buttons. Please refer to the instruction below on how to change the
transmitter channel via push buttons.
a. Press and hold PB1, PB2 and PB3 and rotate the power key to START position at the same
time. A series of green and red blinks will appear on the Status LED showing the current
channel setting. A green blink represents the tens (+10) and a red blink represents the units
(+1).
Examples: 2 green blinks followed by 5 red blinks represents channel 25.

6 red blinks represents channel 06.
b. Select a new channel by pressing PB1 and PB2 on the transmitter. Press PB1 to increment
the units (+1) and PB2 to increment the tens (+10).
Examples: Press PB2 two times and then PB1 four times will give you channel 24.
Press PB1 nine times with give you channel 09.
c. When finished, the newly selected channel will appear on the Status LED via a series of
green and red blinks again.
d. Exit the channel programming by turning off the transmitter power.
e. Make sure the receiver channel is set identical to the transmitter. Please refer to page 20 and
page 32 on how to change receiver channel.
f. Please note that when the CHANNEL dip-switch inside the transmitter is changed, the priority
will revert back to the new channel set on the CHANNEL dip-switch.
g. Please note that when channel is set beyond channel 62 via PB1 and PB2 (i.e. channel 63,
68, 88, etc…), the system will recognize it as channel 62.

4.1.4 Optional 4-Digit Security Code

The 4-digit Security Code is an optional feature that can be programmed into the transmitter to allow
operation only to those who know the code. If this feature is desired, set up as follows: Prior to rotating
the transmitter power key-switch to START position to begin operation, you first enter a 4-digit security
code in order to proceed further. When this 4-digit security code is entered correctly, a green light will
appear on the Status LED. Please refer to the instruction below on how to program the 4-digit security
code.
a. Release E-Stop, then press and hold PB1, PB2, PB3 and PB4 (all at once), and then rotate
the power key to START position.
b. A constant orange light will appear on the Status LED telling you that you are in the security
code programming mode.
c. For newly purchased systems with the security code function deactivated (default setting),
press PB1 four times (1111) to activate the security code function. At this time the Status LED
on the transmitter will blink orange slowly telling you that the 4 digits entered is correct. Then
select your own 4-digit security code by pressing PB1, PB2, PB3 or PB4 on the transmitter
(four presses randomly). At this time, fast orange blinks are displayed on the Status LED
telling you to reconfirm the 4-digit security code you have just entered. A green light will
appear once you have re-entered the same 4-digit security code again (programming
completed). If any mistake is made during this process, or if a red light is shown on the Status
LED after you have re-entered the security code (incorrect input), or even if you believe you
have entered the correct code but the transmitter fails to work properly, then you must reset
the transmitter power (by power-cycling the transmitter*) and then repeat steps a, b, and c
again.
*NOTE: To power-cycle the transmitter, you must first remove, then reinstall the batteries. Simply
turning the power switch off, then on will NOT properly clear the memory. This process must
be used for any errors regarding proper transmitter operation (not just for security code
settings).
Steps: Press and hold PB1~PB4 and rotate power key to START position → constant orange
→ press PB1 four times (for new systems) or 4-digit security code → slow orange blinks →
enter the new 4-digit security code → fast orange blinks → re-enter the same 4-digit security
code again → green light
d. If you wish to cancel the security code function, then repeat steps a, b, and c above and
press PB1 four times as your new security code (security code function disabled).
e. If you do not remember the 4-digit security code, then you must contact your dealer or
distributor for further assistance.

4.1.5 I-CHIP
The I-CHIP functions in a way that is very similar to a SIM card inside a mobile phone, which
stores system information such as your telephone number, account number, phone book and
other settings. The I-CHIP works exactly the same way, as it stores information such as system
serial number/ID code, channel and push button configurations.
When replacing a transmitter handset, just take the I-CHIP out of the old transmitter and install it
into the new one (refer to Fig. 11 below). For a complete information transfer, make sure both the
Channel and Function dip-switch is set to all “1”. If both dip-switches are set to all “1”, then the
transmitter will operate according to the push button configurations and channel stored inside the I-
CHIP. If both the Channel and Function dip-switch is set to other values other than all “1”, then the
transmitter will operate according to the channel and push button configurations set on these two
dip-switches, not the ones stored inside the I-CHIP. Every time the settings on these two dip-
switches are changed, the new settings will be stored into the I-CHIP automatically. In this case the
previous channel and push button configurations stored inside the I-CHIP will be erased and be
replaced by the new settings.
For safety purposes, the system serial number/ID code stored inside the I-CHIP cannot be
changed directly on the transmitter encoder board. Only channels and push button configurations
can be changed directly on the encoder board via Channel and Function dip-switches. There are
only two ways that you can change a transmitter serial number/ID code: via the I-CHIP
programming port located on the decoder module inside the receiver unit, please refer to page
25 on how to program the I-CHIP (serial number/ID code) via receiver unit; or via an external I-
CHIP programmer or duplicator unit available from the factory. Please ask your local dealers for
assistance if your system requires serial number/ID code adjustments.
(Fig. 11)
Flash the transmitter’s I-CHIP to verify that the settings are correct. With transmitter power off,
remove the I-CHIP. Plug the I-CHIP into the I-CHIP port on the I-CHIP programmer. After
programming, plug the I-CHIP into the I-CHIP port on the transmitter and power on the transmitter.
Verify all settings are correct by performing a function test.

only scan Ch.01 and Ch.02.

Section 2 — Operations
Remtron  Wireless Control Systems are designed for control of industrial
machinery. These rugged controls are built to survive the wear and tear of life in factories,
mills, and foundries.
These systems comply with requirements for operation under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and
Regulations. This means that neither the operator nor the company need apply or register for
a license to operate this equipment.
The basic system consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter sends commands to
the receiver by means of radio waves in the 900 MHz band. Receivers operate at 120 VAC
50/60 Hz power.
How the System Works
Frequency
Remtron  equipment operates in the 902 to 928 Megahertz (MHz)
frequency band. A wavelength at our frequency is 12.9 inches.
Like light, 900 MHz radio signals will pass through glass and plastics, and will
reflect off of walls, buildings, and metal structures. Unlike light, 900 MHz radio
signals will penetrate all plastics, including those that you cannot see through,
thin-gauge steel, dry wood, dry concrete, plasterboard, fog, and rain.
However, trees, earth, water, people, aluminum, copper, and some window tints
will not readily pass our signals.
Range and Antenna Coverage

Antennas convert radio signals into radio waves and convert radio waves back
into radio signals. They can send and receive in all directions or in a single
direction, depending on their design.
An omni-directional antenna is like a light bulb, and a directional antenna is like a

flashlight. Metal objects reflect radio waves, just as a mirror next to a light bulb
will reflect light. Metal objects near an antenna alter the intended pattern of an
antenna by either shading or reflecting signals.
Our standard antennas are omni-directional; they ‘see’ equally well in all
directions. We have other antennas that will ‘see’ further in one direction for
special applications.

Status Indicators
Status LED
The status LED provides an indication of the transmitter operation. When the
transmitter is operating normally, the LED indicator will emit short flashes at a
low rate when no commands are activated and at a higher rate when a command
is activated. Some transmitters use a red LED only. Others use a multicolored
LED that flashes GREEN when no problems are present and changes to RED
under low battery conditions or when other problems are encountered. See Status
Chart below.

Function Select LEDs

Two LEDs are used on 25T15A transmitters to indicate which control functions
are active (such as hoist/trolley A, hoist/trolley B) and are intended to be used
with pilot relays. When both are lit, both controls are active. When both LEDs
are unlit, neither control is active.
