Safety function: stop protection
1.4 Safety function: stop protection
The stop function brings the machine to a safe state every time it is necessary to stop it due
to a potentially hazardous situation. Depending on the situation, this function can either be
deliberately activated by the operator through the STOP pushbutton, or it is automatically ac-
tivated when the radio link is incorrect or interrupted (the receiving unit autonomously stops
the radio remote control).
1.5 Protection against unintended movements from the rest position
This safety function protects the system “machine+radio remote control” from unintended
movements, namely machine movements not activated intentionally by the user, but result-
ing from possible electrical and mechanical failure of the radio remote control.
Such safety function checks the neutral (rest) position of pushbuttons controlling the ma-
chine's movements. Each time one of those pushbuttons is operated, the transmitting unit
sends both the movement command and the SAFETY command.
1.6 Identifying the radio remote control
As required by standard IEC 60204-32 , each radio remote control is uniquely identified
through a serial number (SERIAL N.).
The SERIAL N. is provided in the identification plate in the two units.
2 Conformity and frequencies
AIR series radio remote controls can work at two different frequency bands:
- 433.050 - 434.790 MHz
- 915.000 - 928.000 MHz.
The radio remote controls' working frequency is defined by market-specific
laws and standards. In order for the system “machine+radio remote control” to
be compliant and therefore to be used, it shall comply with such laws and
standards: if it does not, the system may be impounded by competent bodies.
Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is set with forbid-
den frequencies.
2.1 Frequency band 433.050-434.790 MHz
2.1.1 Conformity
Each AIR series' radio remote control working in the frequency band 433.050-434.790 MHz
complies with the (R&TTE) Directive 1999/5/EC and its essential requirements.
Each radio remote control is also in conformity with the harmonised standards provided in
the EC Declaration of Conformity.
You can find the EC Declaration of Conformity in the specific section of Autec website,
under “After Sales Service”.
