When the installation is finished check that during the
installation no operations have been carried out render the
protection measures of the Radio Remote Control and/or the
Machine ineffective.
To protect the Receiving Unit from dust, water and other substances
the Receiving Unit should be closed, making sure that the gasket is
correctly positioned and undamaged.
Make sure also that the parts connect and overlap so it closes
correctly.
13.2 Testing
After installation, it is the responsibility of the Installer to test the
radio-controlled Machine. In particular make sure that the
command sent and the movements carried out match.
When checking pay particular attention to the STOP command,
which should operate correctly.
If any malfunctions occur doing testing, both the Radio Remote
Control and the Machine should be disabled until the problem is
identified and rectified.
The Installer should check and fill out all the parts of the
Connection Diagram and the Position of the Controls (if not
pre-compiled). These documents must contain the date the
system was commissioned, and the stamp and signature of the
Installer.
14 Maintenance
14.1 Maintenance of the Radio Remote Control - general
instructions
It is the responsibility of the Maintenance Technician:
• keep the Transmitting Unit safe so that it cannot be used by
unauthorised or unqualified personnel;
• use the Machine on which the Elca Radio Remote Control is
installed only in safe conditions and only if it is possible to get a
good view of the working area of the Machine;
• use the Machine on which the Elca Radio Remote Control is
installed only in accordance with the measures and instructions
provided by the Manufacturer of the Machine and in compliance all
applicable Laws, Regulations and Standards, also local;
• immediately notify superiors and/or managers of the workplace
and/or the Machine of any faults, subsidence, deterioration of any
other fault that could cause the Radio Remote Control and/or the
Machine to malfunction or that could injure Persons and/or
damage property;
• respect all the instructions and warnings provided by the
Manufacturer of the Machine and/or the Installer;
• respect all the instructions and warnings provided by the person
responsible for starting up the Machine for work;
• respect all the instructions and warnings contained in the
Manual of the Radio Remote Control;
• all applicable Laws, Regulations and Standards, also local, must
be respected;
• use the Radio Remote Control only as described in this Manual,
as explained in all the warnings and instructions provided by Elca
and in any event not contrary to all the applicable Laws,
Regulations and Standards, also local.
All set up, control and maintenance operations of the Radio Remote
Control must be recorded. The person responsible for the
Maintenance of the Machine should record them.
Before carrying out any maintenance, it is necessary that:
• the Receiving Unit is NOT powered;
• the Transmitting Unit is off;
• the STOP button is pressed.
In the event of a malfunction the Transmitting Unit should be
switched off and the Receiving Unit disconnected from the
power supply. The Radio Remote Control must remain disabled
until the problem is solved with the necessary technical
interventions.
After each maintenance operation, it is necessary to:
• check that the gasket is undamaged and correctly positioned;
• check that the parts of the casing are properly connected so
that they overlap;
• screw in the screws.
14.2 Routine maintenance
By routine maintenance is meant all those actions that have the
single aim of maintaining the normal operating conditions of the
Radio Remote Control.
Routine maintenance takes place through set up and control
interventions, and the scheduled replacement of parts, required by
a normal use of the product.
Each time that the Radio Remote Control is fitted or installed on the
Machine, each time that the Machine is moved or placed in a new
position or else after special maintenance, it is necessary to carry
out all the instructions below.
The routine maintenance contained in this Manual is crucial for the
safe operation of the Radio Remote Control.
In order for the Radio Remote Control to operate safely, the
routine maintenance described in this Manual must be carried
out.
Routine maintenance can requires specific interventions or be
required to be carried out at different times if there are particular
climatic conditions (for example: environments with very high or
very low temperatures, very dirty environments or when frequently
used).
Some specific interventions can be required more frequently by the
Manufacturer of the Machine or by the Installer, whenever it is
necessary.
Before carrying out any maintenance on the Machine, the
Receiving Unit must be disconnected from the power supply.
14.2.1 Daily routine maintenance
What to do during normal use:
• prevent materials depositing on the Receiving Unit that could
compromise its safe use (for example: dust, grease, concrete,
lime, sand, etc.);
• avoid any action that could damage the Receiving Unit (contact
with water, fluids and liquids, falls, bumps, etc.);
• protect the receiving Unit from jets of water or heavy rain;
• do not leave the receiving Unit unnecessarily exposed to direct
sunlight or heat sources.
14.2.2 Monthly routine maintenance
At least once a month:
• clean the Receiving Unit with a damp cloth and check if it is
damaged;
• make sure that the data plate of the Receiving Unit is undamaged
and legible.
