User's Manual

- Fall prevention devices should be used when anyone is working at an elevated
height.
- The receiver must be securely attached and located where it will not be hit by any
moving part of the building, crane, or load.
- The crane or hoist must be equipped with limit switches for each motion and a
main power contactor that cuts off all power to the motors of the crane when it is
de-energized.
- Special care must be taken for magnets and other load-carrying devices to ensure
that if the crane is de-energized the load remains supported.
- The receiver must be located so that it receives sufficient signal strength from the
transmitter.
- Operating any piece of equipment in an industrial facility can be dangerous.
Adequate training must be provided to operators of cranes or other equipment
using a TELECRANE product.
- At least once each shift, check the amount of power remaining in the transmitter
batteries. If it is low, change all four batteries before beginning operation.
Operating the unit with excessively discharged batteries can be unsafe.
- The safety key should be removed from the transmitter whenever it is not in use
and should only be issued to authorized personnel.
- All TELECRANE Radio Remote Controls are tested before they leave the
factory. However, they should not be used in dangerous situations or in a manner
such that damage might result.
- Although the transmitter is very durable and weather-resistant, precautions should
always be taken to limit its exposure to weather, physical impact, and corrosives.
- After use, or if the unit will not be used for a long interval, turn off power to the
crane or equipment and remove the safety key from the transmitter.
- Remove the batteries from the transmitter if the transmitter will not be used for
two weeks or longer.
- Transmitters that are not in use, including spare transmitters, should be stored
with batteries removed, and secured to prevent accidental operation.
- Before each shift, check that the limit switches function correctly and that
movement corresponds to the button being pressed or joystick being operated on
the transmitter.
- Do not use the equipment during lightning storms or high electrical interference
conditions.
- In general only authorized service facilities should perform maintenance on this
product.
