1 Radio remote control description
1.1 How the radio remote control works
Industrial radio remote controls are used to control machines from a distance, without physical
connection between the user and the machine (i.e. wires or connecting cables). They consist
of a portable transmitting unit, from which the user remotely controls the machine, and a
receiving unit installed on board the machine itself.

1.3 Applications
AIR series' radio remote controls can be installed on hoisting and material handling machines
(i.e. overhead cranes).
AIR series radio remote controls cannot be installed:
- on machines installed in places where equipment with explosion-proof
characteristics is required
- on machines for people lifting and transportation (the machine's
manufacturer may authorize installation and use of a radio remote
control on such applications under their own responsibility, if the risk
assessment they carried out gave positive results)
- on machines that may generate dangerous situations if they stop due
to the loss of radio link
- on machines for which a risk assessment is not possible or gave negative
results
Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is installed on forbidden
applications.
