3 USE 
 
To ensure correct use of the equipment, follow the instructions below: 
 
 Make sure the transmitter you are going to use is the correct one, identifying the 
hoist/crane on the identification label. 
 
 Attach the strap to the transmitter unit. Its use is recommended to prevent the 
equipment from falling. 
 
 Install a charged battery, turn the key-switch and activate the transmitter.  
 
 To activate the system, you must first pull out the STOP button, the transmitter LED 
should then give a yellow-green pulse; then press the START button. If you find that 
the STOP button has already been pulled out, it is necessary to push it in and then pull 
it out again, as this sequence will allow the checking of the STOP circuit. If the unit 
has experienced a time-out auto-disconnection, it is not necessary to repeat the STOP 
button procedure, simply push the START button for 1 second. 
 
 The transmitter LED should light up in green, indicating that the transmitter has started 
transmitting. From now on, if any of the transmitter’s command buttons are pressed, 
the corresponding motion will be activated. 
 
 To be able to start up the transmitter, all the command pushbuttons must be in the 
neutral position (not activated). This is not the case for the Hoist Selection functions. 
 
 When 4 minutes have passed and no active motion command have been activated, the 
transmitter automatically switch OFF. To start it up once more, press the START 
button. 
 
 The transmitter is equipped with a circuit for monitoring the battery level. When this 
level drops below a pre-established limit, the transmitter LED starts to flash in red; 5 
minutes later the transmitter switches OFF, and the crane’s main contactor is 
deactivated. During this time, the load has to be located in a safe position. 
 
 The LCD display of the RAD-TF transmitter also shows the battery level of charge: 
Three dots for charge bigger than 50%, two dots when 50% or less, one dot when 10% 
or less, none when 5% or less. 
 
 To switch OFF the transmitter, press the STOP button or turn OFF the key -switch 
 
Remember that you are going to control remotely a moving piece of machinery. 
The safety instructions described in chapter 3 of this manual must be strictly 
adhered to.
