40 Radio remote control maintenance
Routine maintenance
Routine maintenance carried out as described in this manual is fundamental for using the ra-
dio remote control safely.
Special applications may need more specific routine maintenance actions to be carried out
at different periods (i.e. if the working environment is particularly dirt, in case of heavy appli-
cations or if the system is used very frequently, some maintenance actions may be required
more frequently, depending on the decision of the person in charge for safety in the worksite).
6.1.1 Daily routine maintenance
Before starting to work:
- make sure that the recharging contacts are always clean
- make sure that the pushbuttons' gaskets are intact, soft and elastic
- make sure that the transmitting unit panel symbols can be easily recognised and replace
the panel if necessary
- check that the three plates on the transmitting unit are readable and intact
- make sure that the mechanical operation of the STOP pushbutton is correct.
During normal operation:
- check structural integrity of the transmitting unit
- make sure that materials that could endanger the transmitting unit usage and safety (such
as concrete, sand, lime, dust) do not deposit on it.
After using the radio remote control:
- clean the transmitting unit: never use solvents or flammable/corrosive materials and do not
use high-pressure water cleaners or steam cleaners
- store the transmitting unit in clean and dry areas.
6.1.2 Three-month routine maintenance
Every three months:
- remove dust or deposit of material from the receiving unit: never use solvents or flamma-
ble/corrosive materials to clean it, and do not use high-pressure water cleaners or steam
cleaners
- check structural integrity of the receiving unit
- make sure that the wiring of the receiving unit is intact and connected
- make sure that the receiving unit panel symbols can be easily recognised and replace the
panel if necessary
- check that the plates on the receiving unit are readable and intact.
6.1.3 Six-month routine maintenance
Every six months:
- make sure that all the relay contacts of the receiving unit operate correctly, and check that
the contact closes when the corresponding manoeuvre is enabled and opens when the
manoeuvre is disabled
- check the correct correspondence between the commands that are sent and the manoeu-
vres that are carried out by the machine
