8.6 Applications
An Elca Radio Remote Control of the E2 range can be used for
various applications: the suitability of the Radio Remote Control for
each different application, especially for safety reasons, should be
assessed by the Manufacturer of the Machine.
The E2 range is most often used on Machines for lifting and moving
materials, objects, and loads in general (for example: overhead
travelling crane, lifting crane, etc.) if permitted by the instructions
in this Manual.
An Elca Radio Remote Control should not be installed on
Machines whose application or function is not permitted by this
Manual or by applicable Laws, Regulations and Standards, also
local.
THE INSTALLATION OF AN ELCA RADIO REMOTE CONTROL ON
OTHER MACHINES OR FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
Elca is not responsible for, and does not accept any liability for,
applications of the Radio Remote Control in situations where
safety conditions are poor or non-existent.
The Manufacturer of Machine should assess and eventually
adopt additional protective measures for the actuators (for
example: two-hand controls, "dead-man" function) where
particular locations, equipment and working modes can cause
accidental collisions.
In addition to the above, a E2 Radio Remote Control should not
be installed:
• On Machines operating in environments that require
explosion-proof equipment, or in all those situations that carry
a risk of explosion.
• On Machines for moving, lifting and transporting Persons,
where the characteristics of the Machine to be used for these
functions and the risks connected to them and/or connected to
the use of a Radio Remote Control do not allow the
Manufacturer of the Machine to guarantee compliance with all
safety requirements. These requirements should be taken into
consideration when designing and manufacturing the Machine,
also taking into account the use of the Radio Remote Control.
The Manufacturer of the Machine can allow the installation and
use of the Radio Remote Control on these applications under
its own responsibility.
• On Machines that cause or might cause dangerous situations
in the event of a stoppage due to the loss of the radio link.
• On Machines that, because of their functions or
characteristics and/or risks connected to their use, do not
allow the use of a Radio Remote Control in conditions where
there are no risks.
• On any type of lifting equipment (for example: magnets,
pliers, suction cups) when the loss of the radio link or the
deactivation of the controls can cause the release of the load
being held, with the risk of harming Persons and/or damaging
property. The Manufacturer of the Machine can allow the
installation and use of the Radio Remote Control for these
applications under its own responsibility.
• If the applicable legislation in the country where the Machine
is used, and also the local safety regulations and standards,
also with reference to safety in the workplace, do not allow the
use of Radio Remote Controls for commanding and/or
controlling Machines.
THE INSTALLATION OF AN ELCA REMOTE RADIO CONTROL ON
MACHINES AND IN SITUATIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH OR DAMAGE TO
PROPERTY.

8.7 Training of the personnel: Installation and maintenance
All the installation and maintenance operations on the Elca Radio
Remote Control should be carried out ONLY by qualified personnel.
Without limiting the foregoing, the qualified technical personnel
should be trained and qualified in relation to:
• the work to be carried out;
• the warning deriving from the risk analysis connected to the
installation and/or maintenance of the Radio Remote Control;
• all the applicable Laws, Regulations and Standards, also local,
including also safety aspects;
• the operation and the requisites of the Machine on which the
Radio Remote Control is installed;
• the warnings and the instructions in this Manual and in other
documentation of the Radio Remote Control and the Machine
fitted with the Radio Remote Control;
• the instructions of the Manufacturer of the Machine and the
person responsible for safety in the workplace where the
"machine+Radio Remote Control" system is used.
8.8 Classification of the controls
This paragraph describes the classification of the controls in the
Radio Remote Control: this information is useful during installation
and maintenance.
Type of control: analogue or digital
The commands sent by the Transmitting Unit can be either analogue
or digital.
An analogue command generates a proportional output depending
on the position of the relative actuator.
A digital command switches the state of the relative output
according to the position of the corresponding output. This state
can be on or off.
name of the commands
All the commands sent by the Transmitting Unit are identified with
initials.
These initials are reported in the Position of the controls and in the
Connection diagram to be used during installation.
These documents clarify the correspondence between the
commands sent by the Transmitting Unit and those available in the
Receiving Unit.
9 Warnings for the installation
All the instructions and warnings of the Elca Radio Remote
Control in this Manual should be read and understood. Failure
to understand or follow them can cause serious injuries or
death or damage to property.
The Installer of the Radio Remote Control should always read,
understand and comply with all the instructions and warnings
contained in all the sections of this paragraph.
These instructions and warnings are not exhaustive. In addition, in
order to carry out a correct installation, the Installer must comply
with and respect all the applicable Laws, Regulations and
Standards, also local including all the technical specifications and
regulations applicable to the Elca Radio Remote Control to which
this manual refers (for example: IEC 60204-1, IEC 60204-32).
The Installer of the Radio Remote Control should also comply with
all the technical instructions, requirements and provided by the
Manufacturer of the Machine.
A correct installation requires that the indications provided in
the Connection diagram and in the Position of the Controls and
the values in the technical data should always be respected.
The electrical connection of the Receiving Unit should satisfy
the requirements of article 9.1 of IEC 60204-1 and/or IEC
60204-32.
ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL CAN INSTALL THE RADIO
REMOTE CONTROL. THEY SHOULD HAVE THE TECHNICAL
ABILITIES REQUIRED FOR CARRYING OUT THESE OPERATIONS
CORRECTLY AND SAFELY, SHOULD BE QUALIFIED ACCORDING
TO LEGISLATION AND REGULATIONS, AND SHOULD HAVE ALL
THE NECESSARY CERTIFICATIONS.
AN INCORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE ELCA RADIO REMOTE
CONTROL CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURIES OR
DEATH AND/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
