1 Use and Maintenance Manual
1.1 Structure
The Instruction Manual for use and maintenance consists of two
parts: together they constitute the Elca Radio Remote Control of
the series E2.
The Manual should be read, understood and applied by the Owner of
the Radio Remote Control, by the User and by all those who, for
whatever reason, operate the Radio Remote Control or the Machine
on which it is installed.
This Part (Called Part 2) deals with the Receiving Unit. Part 1 (to
which you are referred) deals with the Transmitting Unit and its
charging system.
The contents of the Instruction manual for use and maintenance is
supplemented by the following documents:
• "Arrangement of Controls" that contains the configuration of
the Transmitting Unit and the names of the commands sent to the
Receiving Unit;
• "Connection diagram" that indicates the correspondence of the
commands sent by the Transmitting Unit and those available in the
Receiving Unit.
The Instruction manual for use and maintenance is an integral part
of the Elca Radio Remote Control and therefore of the Machine that
is equipped with the Radio Remote Control. It is the responsibility
of the Manufacturer of the Machine or the system on which the
Radio Remote Control is installed to ensure that the Instruction
Manual is inserted in the instruction manual of the Machine.
Further information on the operation of the radio remote control
system, particularly if made to the customer's own specifications,
can be found in the documents attached to the manual that should
be considered as an integral part of the Manual itself.
1.2 Definitions
Please contact ELCA if any instructions, symbols,
warnings or images are not clear or understandable
and in case of doubts or questions.
The "Manufacturer's identification" can be found on
page 6 or with the QR Code here on the side.
The meanings of the terms in the entire Manual, including all its
parts, are shown below:
Unit: the individual units, transmitting and receiving, that make up
the Elca Radio Remote Control.
Radio Remote Control: wireless control system (CCS: Cableless
Control System) composed of a Transmitting unit and a Receiving
unit that communicate with each other via radio connection.
Transmitting unit: portable component (remote station) through
which the user interfaces with the Radio Remote Control.
Receiving unit: component fixed stably to the Machine (base
station) that constitutes an interface between the Radio Remote
Control and the other parts of the machine.
Machine:the machine, as defined by Directive 2006/42/CE and by
other local regulations, and every other device, machinery,
equipment, system, application, etc., on which the Elca Radio
Remote Control is installed or that is controlled by it.
Manufacturer: the entity that designs and/or constructs a Machine
and that decides to install a Radio Remote Control in order to
operate the Machine.
Installer: the entity, specialised technician, that plans and/or
carries out the installation of the Elca Radio Remote Control on a
Machine in order to operate its controls.
User: the entity that materially uses the Elca Radio Remote Control
as a device for operating the controls of a Machine.
Maintenance technician: the entity, specialised technician, that
carries out routine and extraordinary maintenance on the Elca
Radio Remote Control, in order to keep it undamaged and running
efficiently.
Manual or Instruction manual: document consisting of Part 1
(Transmitting unit and its charging system), Part 2 (Receiving unit),
Position of the controls and the Connection diagram.
Person: individual, natural or legal person and/or every entity,
however considered.
Owner: the owner of the Radio Remote Control.
The functions indicated for the Manufacturer, the Installer, the User
and the Maintenance Technician can be carried out by a single
entity, where these have the skills and assume the relative
responsibilities. Each entity should be aware of the instructions in
the Manual for the work that it carries out.
For example, if a Manufacturer also acts as an Installer, and/or
Maintenance Specialist, it should understand and follow also the
instructions specifically directed at these entities. The same
criteria should be applied in the case where, for example, a User
assumes the function of manufacturer and/or Installer.
1.3 Symbols
The parts of the Manual that are drawn attention to by this
symbol should be read very carefully.
The parts of the Manual that are drawn attention to by this
symbol contain warnings, information and/or instructions that
are extremely important for safety issues: failure to
understand these parts could be dangerous for Persons and/or
property.
1.4 Who these instructions are for
The Instruction Manual is for the User, the Owner of the Radio
Remote Control, the Installers, the Manufacturers and all those
Persons who, for whatever reason, are operating the Radio Remote
Control or the Machine on which it is installed.
The Manual should be read, understood and applied, in all its
parts, by:
• the Owner and/or the person responsible for operating the
Machine and/or the Elca Radio Remote Control;
• the Manufacturer of the Machine who decides to equip it with a
Radio Remote Control;
• the Installer of the Radio Remote Control or the entity that takes
care of its fitting on a Machine, on a device, on a system, etc., and/
or that has the responsibility for its operation;
• the safety manager of the workplace where the Radio Remote
Control is used;
• the Users, namely those who materially, and for any purpose, are
enabled/authorised/entrusted with using the Radio Remote
Control or simply find themselves in this situation;
• the Maintenance technician;
• Those who, for any reason, find themselves operating the Radio
Remote Control and/or the Machine, the system, the device and/
or the system on which the Elca Radio Remote Control is installed,
or which is controlled by it.
The instructions concerning the installation and maintenance
of the Radio Remote Control are for qualified personnel and for
their application specialised professional expertise is required:
none of the operations for which qualified personnel are
required can be carried out by Persons or entities that do not
have the specific professional skill required.
1.5 Storage of the instructions
The Instruction Manual should be taken good care of and should
accompany the Radio Remote Control throughout its working life.
No part of the manual should be removed, torn or arbitrarily
modified.
The Instruction Manual should be available for all those requiring it
and at any moment it becomes necessary to consult it.
Another copy of the Manual should be requested if it deteriorates.
The copy will be supplied after communicating the serial number of
the Radio Remote Control and at the expense of the person
requesting it.
1.6 Updating the Manual
The contents of this manual are subject to change without prior
notice, therefore the operator is required to verify (before using the
radio remote control) that the information contained in this
publication is consistent with the device in their possession.
Elca is solely responsible for the instructions compiled and
validated by Elca itself (Original Instructions); in order to be able to
check the accuracy of the translation, any translations should
always accompany the Original Instructions.
Contact ELCA in the event there are instructions, warnings or
indications which may prove to be unclear.
