SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Theory of Operation
The Hetronic radio remote control system includes a
transmitter and a receiver. These systems operate over
the 400-470 MHz radio band range (70 cm band) and
are FCC approved.
The transmitter generates the electronic signal that
communicates with the receiver. The transmitter and
receiver are set with identical address codes and
frequency channels. This allows operation of multiple
systems within the same area without signal
interference.
The receiver only accepts commands from the
transmitter with the same address code.
NOTE: The receiver and transmitter have the address
code set at the factory.
E-Stop Function
The most important feature of the radio remote control
system is the E-Stop. The transmitter sends the E-stop
status signal along with the specified crane/machine
function. This method confirms that ongoing operations
are safe. If the E-stop pushbutton is pressed, the E-stop
relay in the receiver causes all crane/machine motions
to stop. The receiver goes into Safe mode.
To restart the system, disengage the E-stop button and
press the Start button.
The E-Stop responds faster than any other function.
When E-Stop is engaged, the system ignores any other
signal that is transmitted. The problem must be
corrected before the system will respond to any other
signal.
The E-Stop is self-monitoring and redundant in the
transmitter and receiver. The system performs a
self-test to ensure the E-Stop circuit is working properly.
If an error is detected, the system automatically goes
into Safe mode.
When the transmitter is turned on, it performs a self-test
to be sure that communications are within designated
parameters. If an error is detected, the transmitter will
not transmit any signals.
Transmitter Sleep Mode
The transmitter sleep mode is designed to prevent
accidental operation. The transmitter can be set for the
following sleep modes:
•
30 seconds
•
2 minutes
•
5 minutes
If the transmitter is not used for the set sleep mode
period, it turns itself off. The controls are not operational
while the transmitter is in sleep mode. To restart the
transmitter, turn the key switch off and then back on, and
press the Start button.
IMPORTANT: If the transmitter has a latching
pushbutton that is engaged, sleep mode will not occur.
Receiver Safe Mode
The following conditions cause the receiver to go into
Safe mode:
•
The transmitter goes into Sleep Mode
•
Radio signal interference
•
Transmitter out of operating range
•
E-Stop button is activated
•
E-Stop circuit failure
•
Low battery sends E-stop after time out
When the transmitter signal is no longer sensed by the
receiver, the Time Out process begins. The Time Out
period is set to 450 msec at the factory. If the receiver
does not establish contact with the transmitter within
that time period, it goes into the Safe Mode.
In Safe Mode, the receiver shuts off activation power to
the output relays and activates the E-stop function.To
restart the system, be sure the transmitter signal is
active and sensed by the receiver. Then press the Start
pushbutton.
Look for this symbol to point out
important safety precautions. They
mean:
Attention!
Personal Safety Is Involved!
Become Alert!
Obey The Message!
The safety alert symbol is used in decals on the unit
and with proper operation procedures in this manual.

PRACTICES AND LAWS
Practice usual and customary safe working
precautions, for the benefit of yourself and others.
Understand and follow all safety messages. Be alert to
unsafe conditions and the possibility of minor,
moderate, or serious injury or death. Learn applicable
rules and laws in your area.
REQUIRED OPERATOR TRAINING
Original purchaser of this unit was instructed by the
seller on safe and proper operation. If unit is to be used
by someone other than original purchaser; loaned,
rented or sold, ALWAYS provide this manual and any
needed safety training before operation.
ALWAYS review the operators manual of any machine
to be controlled by radio remote control.
POSSIBLE SOURCES OF DANGER
This system makes remote control via radio signals
possible. However, the transmission of control
commands can take place around obstacles and out of
the operator’s direct sight. To prevent accidental
start-up and possible injury or damage:
1. Always engage the E-stop button and switch
"OFF" the transmitter when it is not in use.
Remove the key if the unit is placed any distance
away from the operator.
2. Disconnect the power supply before any
assembly, maintenance or repair work is done.
3. Never remove or alter any of the safety features
of this system.
OPERATION AND WORK AREA SAFETY
The work area must be free from obstacles, debris or
other tripping hazards. Avoid uneven work areas and
any rough terrain. Always be sure of your footing.
Be aware of overhead obstacles that may interfere with
machine operation.
PROTECTIVE FEATURES
This radio remote control system is equipped with
electronic and mechanical safety features. Processing
of control signals transmitted from other transmitters is
not possible, since transmission coding is unique to
each system.
These safety features help protect the operator, as well
as others within the work area. The machine functions
can be stopped by pushing the emergency stop button
on the transmitter (EMERGENCY STOP).
NOTE: The E-stop command is initiated within
approximately 0.5 seconds (450 ms) after the switch is
turned to the "OFF" position.
TO STOP IN AN EMERGENCY
1. Press the red "EMERGENCY STOP" pushbutton.
2. Turn the key to "OFF".
3. Wait for all moving machine parts to stop.
4. Refer to machine’s operator manual for further
instructions.

IMPORTANT: Refer to the document case (located on
the inside of the receiver cover) in the receiver for
receiver layout instructions.
NOTE: The maximum allowed current for the relay
contacts is 8 amps with AC. If a higher current is
necessary, the appropriate relays must be installed in
the electrical system of the carrying vehicle.
1. Determine the receiver position.
2. If the receiver is to be mounted inside a control
panel or other enclosure, an external antenna is
required.
3. Be sure there is clearance for connectors and
components that need to be wired.
4. Drill holes into the mounting surface according to
the dimensions shown.
5. Insert the mounting screws through the holes in
the receiver housing and tighten into the
mounting surface.
6. Please refer to the appropriate illustration for
mounting dimensions. Contact Hetronic for more
information or if you have questions.
7. Lay out the wire runs. Use #16 AWG (size 1.5
mm2 metric) minimum for power wiring.
8. If the receiver includes an attached antenna,
mount the receiver so that the antenna points
straight up. The area around the antenna should
be free of obstructions, especially metal.
The receiver wiring is critical for proper system
operation. Make all connections with good quality
contacts or solder joints to ensure proper electrical
contact.
Supply voltage and ground wiring are crucial and must
be connected to reliable connecting circuitry. Do not
use a chassis ground for this equipment. The ground
wire must be connected directly to the crane/machine’s
ground.
The output control signals to controls should be routed
separately from any wiring that could produce transient
voltage interference. Interference or "induced voltage
spikes" could cause erratic performance of the
controls.

Standard External Antenna Installation
If the receiver must be located inside a control panel or
other enclosure, an external car antenna may be
required. Mount the antenna onto a metal surface with
the same ground as the receiver circuit board. Remove
any burrs from the antenna mounting hole and scrape
away any paint which may insulate the antenna base
from making positive contact.
NOTE: Improper installation of the antenna will cause
intermittent signal loss.
1. Drill a hole 14 mm (.56 in.) dia. through the
control panel or enclosure at the external car
antenna location.
2. Insert the connector base through the hole with
the antenna on the outside. Seat the base firmly
against the enclosure surface.
3. Assemble the antenna as shown below.
4. Screw the antenna pole onto the antenna base.
5. Remove the Miniflex antenna from the receiver
housing by unscrewing it from the antenna base.
6. Connect the external antenna cable to the
antenna base on the receiver housing.
7. Bundle any excess antenna cable and secure
with tie wraps or equivalent.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT run the antenna cable with
power or control wiring. Intermittent signal loss will
result.
GainFlex Antenna Installation
Your application may require the use of a GainFlex
antenna. The GainFlex antenna can extend the range
of the radio remote control system up to 300 meters
(1000 ft.). It can also be used where a standard
antenna is difficult to mount. If you are not sure which
antenna is suitable for your application, please contact
Hetronic or your dealer.
When using a GainFlex antenna, there must be no
metal or conductive materials within 2 meters (6 feet)
of the antenna. This material will interfere with the
transmitter signal and cause intermittent signal loss.
For the best reception, the antenna should point
upward.
NOTE: Improper installation of the antenna can cause
intermittent signal loss.
1. Secure the GainFlex antenna base to a mounting
surface with the tie wraps included. Mount the
antenna vertically with the base pointed upward.
2. Screw the GainFlex antenna pole onto the base.

Description of Functions
The transmitter RF Unit comes with an attached RF
antenna. The electric connection to the coding
electronics is done via Dubox connectors.
The radio module works on one of the 32 different
frequencies which are separated into two groups with
16 channels each. The groups are selected via a
soldered connection (J3) and the channels are
selected via the 10-pin Dubox connector and pin
jumpers.
NOTE: Disconnect all power to the transmitter and
receiver before making any change to the frequency.
Setting the Frequency Channel
The frequency channel of the transmitter must be set to
the frequency channel of the receiver it is going to
control. Each Hetronic radio remote control system is
pre-set at the factory with the correct frequency
channel in the transmitter and receiver. The
frequencies may need to be changed if a transmitter,
receiver, or RF module of either unit has been
replaced. The frequencies of the transmitter and
receiver must be identical.
1. Remove the lower housing from the transmitter.
2. Locate the RF Module inside the transmitter.
3. Locate the Frequency Channel Jumper Block on
the RF module (shown below).
4. Find the correct chart for your RF Module (CS
458, CS 447, CS 434 or CS 402)
5. Set the frequency jumpers on D0, D1, D2, or D3
according to the chart.
•
"ON" means that a jumper should be placed in
that position.
•
"OFF" means that that position should be empty.
6. When finished, reinstall the lower housing onto
the transmitter.
The following diagrams show the transmitter RF
module, each channel/frequency and the positions of
the jumpers.

Description of the Functions
The frequency range of the STD-402 synthesizer
extends from 429.2500 MHz to 429.7375 Mhz. The
radio module works on one of the 40 different
frequencies. The frequencies can be individually
selected, or can be separated into four groups with 10
channels each. The individual frequency or groups are
selected via a 6-pin DIP switch array.
NOTE: Operation of the RF Unit STD-402R is
approved by TELEC for use in Japan, and there are no
additional licensing requirements.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect all power to the transmitter
and receiver before making any change to the
frequency.
Description of the Transmitter Module
The RF unit has a permanently affixed antenna and
receives input power and TTL data by the 3-pin Dubox
connector (see picture).
Description of the Receiver Module
Depending on the DIP switch array configuration, the
RF Unit continuously scans for valid frequency
channels, or scans for an individual frequency. In the
continuous scan mode, it locks onto a valid frequency
channel once it receives an input signal on the 2-pin
Dubox connector (see picture). The RF unit has two
SMB diversity antenna inputs. Input power, and TTL
signal output, is provided by the 3-pin Dubox connector
(see picture).
Scan Mode
Upon power up, the RF Unit scans for an open
frequency channel depending on the DIP switch array
configuration. Once an open frequency channel is
found, the RF unit locks onto that channel, and begins
transmitting data.
Individual Frequency Mode
Upon power up, the RF Unit checks to see if the
individually selected frequency channel is clear. If the
frequency channel is clear, the RF unit begins
transmitting data. If the frequency channel is not clear,
the RF unit will not transmit data.
