safety features

radiomatic® shock-off / roll-detect / zero-g / inclination switch.

In emergency situations, these safety features can prevent the uncontrolled output of control commands, protecting the operator as well as other personnel in close proximity to the crane / machine in use.

• radiomatic® shock-off can activate if the transmitter receives a hard impact.

• radiomatic® roll-detect can activate if the transmitter is unintentionally rolled.

• radiomatic® zero-g can activate if the transmitter is dropped or thrown.

• radiomatic® inclination switch can activate if the transmitter exceeds an inclination angle of about 45° for a preset time and / or lies face-down.

Depending on the ordered version, the features can operate in three different ways: • The complete radio system is shut down. • Safety-relevant functions are deactivated. • A previously defined function (e. g. crane horn) is activated.

These features come standard with the technos and the spectrum series. They are available as an option for patrol T, patrol L, keynote, vector pro, linus 4, linus 6 and eco.

radiomatic® shock-off. radiomatic® roll-detect. radiomatic® zero-g.

safety features

Vibration alarm.

• With the vibration alarm, the operator can be informed reliably of critical conditions on the machine as well as faults and potential dangers through the vibration of the transmitter. This results in significantly enhanced safety because the operator can react in time and prevent dangerous situations.

• The information type which is being transferred by the vibration alarm is virtually up to the customer’s choice. Examples where such an option can be a huge safety benefit are pre-warnings for high wind speeds or threatening excess crane loads. The critical value for activating the alarm function can also be set in accordance to the customer’s needs.

• The vibration alarm comes standard with orbit, eco, the technos and the spectrum series (except spectrum Ex). Unless specified by the customer, this excellent feature will activate when the battery is running low. Custom feedback indication is also available as an option. The vibration alarm can be deactivated if not required.

safety features

Shut-off on implausible control commands.

• The automatic shut-off of suspect movement commands will activate if a joystick is actuated in an implausible manner. If, for example, the operator moves the joystick successively in different directions in an irregular manner, the intelligent process can switch off the radio control.

• This option protects the operator from potential dangers as well as the crane / machine from wear resulting from rapid or erratic movements. At the same time, the machine is protected from wear because abrupt movements are avoided.

• Depending on the ordered version the feature can operate in three different ways: - The complete radio system is shut down. - Safety-relevant functions are deactivated. - A previously defined function (e. g. crane horn) is activated.

• In order to prevent unnecessary work interruptions, the automatic shut-off only intercedes after a sequence of multiple questionable movement commands.

• The function is available as an option for eco, technos A / B and the spectrum series.

safety features

Micro drive.

• With the micro drive function, the speed of the crane / machine can easily be limited to a preselected level.

• Even at full movement of the joystick, the operator can not exceed this speed limit.

• In this manner, demanding drive maneuvers can be managed with ease and inexperienced users can be protected from potential dangers that can result from “speeding”.

• This function is optionally available for all joystick transmitters.

safety features

Orthogonal drive.

• With the orthogonal drive function, the operator can only move the crane / machine into the direction that they initially engage with the joystick.

• The operator has to return the joystick to zero position before another directional command can be activated.

• Diagonal movements are not possible. • This is ideal for situations where the operator has to make

precision commands in confined areas. Dangerous situations caused by uninten tional diagonal movements are being prevented.

• This function is optionally available for all joystick transmitters.

safety featuressafety features

Front panel lighting / flashlight.

• With the front panel lighting and the flashlight, the operator always has a clear view of the control, even in low light conditions or complete darkness.

• The front panel lighting consists of several LEDs which are integrated into the rollover bar or on the front panel and can be easily activated by a softkey or button if needed.

• The operating elements and symbols on the front panel are now clearly visible again and potential dangers due to a wrong operation caused by low light are prevented.

• The flashlight consists of a powerful LED light which is integrated into the front of the transmitter housing and which is also activated by a softkey or a button.

• The operator can use the flashlight to illuminate the working area and his path ahead. This ensures additional working safety.

• The front panel lighting and the flashlight are standard for the technos A / B and optionally available for the spectrum series (except spectrum Ex). The flashlight is also standard for technos 2.

Enabling switch.

• The enabling switch provides enhanced safety when the machine is in setting, service or observation mode as well as for machines with multiple operators.

• In order to transmit control commands to the machine, the operator has to keep the switch pushed into first step. Only then the other operating elements on the transmitter are unlocked. If the operator releases the button or presses it into the second step (e. g. because of a cramp in panic situations), all machine movements are immediately stopped.

• With this, the operator is protected from dangerous unintended machine movements in case he should lose consciousness or no longer has control over the transmitter.

• If an application is controlled by more than one operator, movement commands can only be performed if all operators keep the enabling switch pushed into first step.

• Suitable transmitters: patrol series, vector pro, eco, the technos and the spectrum series.

safety features

Optimal communication in specific working situations.

focus DServing as an external antenna, focus D ensures an optimal radio connection for radio systems with DECT technology.

focus T• As an external RF module, focus T offers a perfect radio

connection even under difficult circumstances over a great distance.

• Depending on the working situation, up to 15 modules can be installed in different positions. As additional receivers, they receive all commands from the radio transmitter and relay it to the central radio receiver.

• There they are analyzed and sent to the crane / machine as output commands. Thus obstacles in the radio path can be avoided efficiently and even longer distances can be bridged with ease.

The focus modules can be combined with all HBC receivers of the radiobus® generation.

focus modules

The clever way to evade obstacles in the radio path.

• Certain application scenarios may require controlling a machine from a physically separated area – for example when the operator is in a cab.

• Such a physical separation can impair transmission of radio signals.

• focus E ensures a perfectly working radio connection even in such challenging conditions.

• The external radio module is installed as an external antenna outside the work area where the radio link is impaired and in an ideal position near the radio receiver. By means of cables, the operator can connect the module to the radio transmitter and the voltage supply.

• focus E will send the control commands to the radio receiver and thus neutralize the shielding effect of the cab or control room.

• focus E can be used with technos A, technos B and the spectrum series.

radiomatic® report

User identification: the safe and easy way to manage access rights.

• As part of the radiomatic® report concept, the user identification feature is based on merlin® TUC (= Transmitter User Card). With its key function it protects the control from unauthorized use.

• At the same time it enables the identification of the user and the personalization of the radio control.

• Thus safety-relevant functions can be limited to authorized personnel only.

• In combination with an HBC data logger, the function offers numerous advantages for the operators of the system: The radio system can store various operational data for each user, such as the operating hours of the radio system or the number of drive commands given. These pieces of information can be very useful when service questions arise.

• User identification is available for keynote, linus 4, eco, the technos and the spectrum series.

radiomatic® report

HBC data logger: useful operational data conveniently at hand.

• radiomatic® report via the HBC data logger enables the collection of a wide range of operational data on the radio control, such as the operating time of individual drives, down to the exact second.

• This device can be used separately or in combination with the HBC user identification via merlin® TUC (Transmitter User Card). In this combination, data are collected individually for each user. Then it is easy to determine how long the crane was used by which user and with which functions the user has worked.

• In addition, it is also possible to calculate the loads carried by individual cranes.

• The collected data can be helpful in various situations, for example in service cases.

• The data are easily read out via a Bluetooth® interface and are visualized with a newly developed software.

• The HBC data logger is available for all HBC radio systems with CAN interface.

radiomatic® report

Self-contained unit: valuable features now available without radio system.

• The complimentary self-contained unit of radiomatic® report allows to benefit from radiomatic® report functions even if there is no radio control installed on the machine.

• The innovation is directly connected to the machine electronics with a plug.

• In order to start the machine, the operator has to hold a suitable merlin® TUC (Transmitter User Card) in front of the activated device. The operator can then control the machine as usual. This clever feature protects the machine from unauthorized use.

• In addition, the individual configuration of the merlin® TUCs enables the easy organization of company-internal access rights to machines.

• Optionally, this version of radiomatic® report can be connected to a HBC data logger. It is integrated directly into the device and offers the exact, user-specific collection of all login times.

Safe and precise control with video camera.

• By video camera assistance, radiomatic® photon offers precise and safe operation in demanding working areas.

• The cameras can be installed in a good position on the machine or in the working environment and then transmit precise live images to transmitter's 3.5" TFT through a separate radio link.

• If no live images are needed, the operator can switch back to the standard data indication on the display.

• radiomatic® photon is optionally available for technos B, spectrum D and spectrum E.

The mobile camera assistance.

• radiomatic® photon MCS is the perfect choice for flexible use of the live camera at different locations. MCS stands for Mobile Camera Solution.

• The operator can place the camera wherever it is needed without any installation effort or cables.

• For this purpose, the camera is mounted onto a handy and stable carrying frame with an integrated support leg.

• It is supplied with voltage via two of HBC‘s rechargeable exchange batteries with high-performing Li-ion technology.

• The camera can be optimally aligned for the respective working situation by means of the angularly adjustable camera mount.

• radiomatic® photon MCS can be combined with numerous Orlaco cameras via the corresponding interface, for example with infrared versions as well as models with different fields of view.

• Moreover, the modular MCS concept allows to change the camera model quickly and easily at any time.

• radiomatic® photon MCS is available with technos 2, technos B, spectrum D and spectrum E.

The version with two cameras.

• Depending on machine type, work environment and purpose, using a second camera can be helpful and sensible.

• radiomatic® photon 2CAM switch is the optimum solution for such scenarios.

• This concept involves using two cameras that are installed in different positions on the machine or in the work environment.

• If necessary, the operator can simply switch between the two live camera images at any time.

• This even allows for a good view of working situations which are very difficult to oversee without having to change the location.

• With this variant, one can easily switch to the standard data indication via the display.

• radiomatic® photon 2CAM switch is available with technos 2, technos B, spectrum D and spectrum E.

radiomatic® iON / iLOG

The keys to quick and easy service.

• The electronic keys radiomatic® iON / iLOG enable the activation of a spare transmitter with little effort in the event of damage of the radio control.

• Simply remove radiomatic® iON / iLOG from the original transmitter, automatically deactivating the original. The radiomatic® iON / iLOG is then screwed / plugged into the spare transmitter. Once again, the radio system is immediately ready for use and work resumes without any loss of time.

• Thanks to a clever design, radiomatic® iON / iLOG are virtually wear-free.

• radiomatic® iON is standard for transmitters vector pro and linus 6 and is optionally available for patrol D.

• radiomatic® iLOG comes standard with transmitters patrol T, patrol L, linus 4, eco, the technos and the spectrum series.

radiomatic® CPS

Changing the battery without power interruption.

• With radiomatic® CPS (= Continuous Power Supply) the battery of the radio control can be changed without interrupting power. For this, the transmitter is equipped with an additional, integrated battery.

• If a battery has to be charged, the process automatically switches to the integrated battery. The radio system remains active.

• Thus the feature is perfect for applications where long and continuous crane or machine operations are required.

• By means of two LEDs, the operator can at all times see which battery is in use or if a battery needs to be charged.

• radiomatic® CPS is available for the transmitters spectrum 3, spectrum D, spectrum 4 and spectrum E.

frequency management

Manual frequency switch.

• By the manual frequency switch, the operator can quickly change the radio channel if necessary. All he has to do is actuate the respective push button.

• If the next radio channel is also occupied by another radio system, he can switch again to another channel by re-actuating the button.

• For the manual frequency switch, there are 16 radio channels available.

Example system FST 511 keynote.

radiomatic® AFS.

• AFS stands for Automatic Frequency Selection: by activation of the radio control, the system automatically searches for a free radio channel.

• In case another radio signal causes frequency conflicts by working on the same channel, all the user has to do is activate the function again.

• radiomatic® AFS immediately looks for a free radio frequency and work can continue without any loss of time.

Example system FST 511 technos A.

frequency management frequency management

DECT.

• DECT technology is an extremely convenient method for uninterrupted radio control without frequency conflicts.

• The operator always works on a free radio channel and does not need to make manual settings.

Example system FST 727 eco.

Adaptive Frequency Hopping.

• Adaptive Frequency Hopping works with automatic frequency coordination and thus ensures interruption-free working in areas with many radio users.

• Manual frequency coordination is not necessary.• With the worldwide frequency band, Adaptive Frequency

Hopping can be used virtually all over the world.

cable option

The alternative for specific situations.

Cable option allows the control of cranes and machines in areas with limited radio operability, for example in the vicinity of airports.

By simply plugging in the cable, the operator establishes a direct data connection between the transmitter and the receiver. The radio transmission is disabled. At the same time, the power supply of the transmitter is provided through the cable, as well.

Available for transmitters linus 4 / 6, eco, the technos and the spectrum series as well as for receivers FSE 507 / 510, FSE 727 / 737 / 777 radiobus®.

Example system FST 727 spectrum 3.
