 1. Introduction

The ARC FLEX radio remote control systems are designed for control of industrial equipment and
machinery such as overhead traveling cranes, jib cranes, gantry cranes, tower cranes, electric hoists, winches,
monorails, conveyor belts, mining equipment and other material handling equipment where wireless control is
preferred.

Each FLEX system consists of a transmitter handset and receiver unit. Other standard-equipped
accessories include transmitter waist belt, “AA” batteries, compass direction decal sheet and user ’s manual.

List of notable features include:

* 62 user-adjustable channels – no more fixed channels and fragile quartz crystals to break.

* Over one million sets of unique ID codes (20-bit) – unlike many other radio control systems on the

market, the FLEX system never repeats ID codes.

* Advanced microprocessor controls with 32-bit CRC and Hamming Codes programming – ultra fast,

safe, precise and error-free encoding and decoding.

* Ultra-durable transmitter push button – good for up to one million press cycles.

* Ultra power-saving transmitter – requires only two “AA” Alkaline or rechargeable batteries

(2000mA or above) for more than 100 hours of continuous operating time between replacements or

recharging.

* Ultra durable nylon and fiberglass composite enclosures – resist breakage from high impacts and

frequent drops; no more fragile casings to replace.

* 100% water and shock resistant

* Adjustable waist belt for easy carry and operation.

 2. Radio Controlled Safety

Flex radio remote control system should be operated by persons with sufficient amount of knowledge and
skill in crane operation and safety. Persons being trained to operate a radio remote controlled crane should
possess the knowledge of all hazards peculiar to radio remote controlled crane operation, ability to judge
distance and moving objects, equipment capacity and radio remote controlled safety rules. Radio remote
controlled cranes should not be operated by any person with insufficient eyesight, hearing, illness, and under
influence of drugs and medications that may cause loss of crane control.

Below are some general operating safety tips that should be strictly followed when operating a radio
remote controlled crane.

1. Prior to crane operation always check the transmitter handset for any damage that might inhibit
proper crane operation.
2. Always check if the red emergency stop button is working properly prior to crane operation.
3. Check the battery status LED on the transmitter for any signs of low battery power.
4. Check the Status LED on the transmitter for any signs of irregularities. Please refer to the
“Transmitter Status Light Indicators & Warnings” on page 24.
5. The crane limit switches should be checked prior to crane operation or at the beginning of each shift.
When checking limit switches the hoist should be centered over an area free of personnel and
equipment.
6. If power to the crane is removed, the operator should turn off the transmitter power immediately
until the power to the crane is restored.
7. If the crane fails to respond properly to operator ’s command the operator should stop operation, turn
the transmitter power off, and then report the condition to their supervisor.
8. The transmitter power should be turned off after each use. If the transmitter handset is not in use
always turn the power off and stored it in a safe or designated location. Never leave the transmitter
handset unattended in the working area.
9. Even though Flex system is capable of allowing up to four systems with same channel in use
without interfering with one another, it is always a good practice not to use the same RF channel as
any other Flex systems in use within a distance of 200 feet.
10. Never operate a crane or equipment with two identical channel and ID transmitter handsets at the
same time within the same facility.

Fig. 07

Set the transmitter channel simply by adjusting the channel dip-switch located on the backside of the
transmitter encoder board. The system channel table located on page 19 will tell you which dip setting
correspond to which channel. Do make sure that when you change the channel of the transmitter you
must also change the channel of the receiver as well. The channel on both transmitter and receiver must
be identical in order for the system to work.

Example:

Top slot ? “1”

(Fig. 08) Bottom slot ? “0”

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

The above dip setting would be “100100”, which corresponds to “channel 36” in the system
channels table on page 19.

For connections with output relay configuration as Forward motion (F), Reverse
motion (R), Forward/Reverse 1st speed (F/R1) and Forward/Reverse 2nd speed
(F/R2).

4. 3-Relay Configuration with Close/Close Contact at 2nd Speed

At 2nd speed, both 1st and 2nd speed output relays are activated or closed (F+FR2 or
R+FR2 relays activated).

5. 4-Relay (Type-A) Configuration with Open/Close Contact at 2nd Speed

At 2nd speed, only 2nd speed output relay is activated or closed (F2 or R2 relay
activated)

6. 4-Relay (Type-A) Configuration with Close/Close Contact at 2nd Speed

At 2nd speed, both 1st and 2nd speed relays are activated or closed (F+F2 or R+R2
relays activated)

7. 4-relay (Type-B) Configuration with F/FR2 Contact at 2nd Speed

At 2nd speed, both forward/reverse motion and 2nd speed relays are closed (F+FR2 or
R+FR2 relays activated)

8. 4-Relay Configuration with F/FR1/FR2 Contact at 2nd Speed

At 2nd speed, forward motion, forward/reverse 1st speed and forward/reverse 2nd

both 1st and 2nd speed output relays will be deactivated for up to 1.0 second and then with 1st
speed output relay reactivated thereafter.

12. External Warning Function

The user can install an external warning device (rotating lights, horn, etc… ) to a special
“function relay” located inside the receiver. The user can choose which push button pairs or
crane motion he wants to have external warnings when push button is pressed. If the
programmed push button is pressed it will activate the function relay thus activating the
external warning device.

13. Momentary Contact

When push button is released the output relay corresponds to that push button will be
deactivated.

14. Toggled (Latching) Contact

When push button is released the output relay corresponds to that push button will remained
activated until next time the user presses the same push button again.

15. 3rd Speed Function

This function allows the crane to travel additional step beyond 2nd speed. At second speed,
pressing the 3rd speed push button will toggle between 2nd and 3rd speed.

16. Auxiliary Stop Function

The special stop function acts as a 2nd emergency stop button. The receiver MAIN will also
be deactivated when this Stop push button is pressed.

1. Pre-installation Precautions

1. Make sure that the transmitter and receiver are with identical serial number, channel and ID
code.
2. Make sure the receiver is not set to the same channel as any other systems in use in the
surrounding area.
3. Prior to installation, make sure that the crane or equipment is working properly prior to
installation.
4. Make sure the power source to the receiver is set correctly.
5. Prior to installation, switch off the main power source to the crane or equipment.

Fig. 13

21
2. Step-By-Step Installation

1. For better reception, the location of the receiver should be visible to the operator at all time.
2. The location selected should not be exposed to high levels of electric noise. Mounting the
receiver next to an unshielded variable frequency drive may cause minor interference.
Always locate the receiver as far away from variable frequency drive as possible.
3. Ensure the selected location has adequate space to accommodate the receiver.
4. Make sure the receiver is in upright position.
5. Drill two holes (10mm in diameter) on the control panel or location where the receiver is to be
installed (Refer to Fig. 13 on page 21).
6. Make sure the bolts are tightened after installation.
7. For system wiring please refer to Fig.12 on page 20.

3. System Testing

1. Turn on the power source to the receiver and test the MAIN relay output by pressing the red
emergency stop button and observe that it properly opens and closes the main line
disconnect contactor.
2. Test the operation of each function to ensure it corresponds to the transmitter direction labels
or the pendent it is replacing.
3. Test the limit switches to see if they are working properly.
4. If your new remote control is replacing an existing pendant, make sure it is completely
disconnected and placed in a safe location to prevent unwanted control command.

A. TRANSMITTER OPERATION

a. Reset the emergency stop button located on the top left hand side of the transmitter handset by
rotating it either clockwise or counter clockwise, the red button will pop up.

b. Turn on the transmitter power by inserting the black-colored key onto the power key slot located on
the top right hand side of the transmitter handset and rotate it clockwise to “On” position.

c. After turning on the transmitter power, the green light on the transmitter status LED will light up for
up to 2 seconds, which means that the system is ok. If the green light did not appear on the Status
LED, then please refer to “Status Light Indicators & Warnings” on page 24.

d. If there are no signs of any system irregularities, then rotate the power key further clockwise to
“Start” position for up to 1 second, this will activate the receiver MAIN. The power key will
retract back to “On” position automatically after release.

e. Now press any push button on the transmitter handset to operate the crane or equipment.

f. In case of an emergency press down the red emergency stop button will immediately disconnect the
receiver mainline. The transmitter status LED will blink red (refer to page 24). To reset the
emergency stop button just rotate the red button either direction, it will pop up. Then rotate the
power key to “start” to resume operation (MAIN activated).

g. To turn off the transmitter handset, just rotate the power key to “Off” position, it will disconnect the
transmitter power and the receiver MAIN altogether.

h. Change batteries simply by unscrew the battery cover located on the back side of the transmitter
handset.
