1. INTRODUCTION The manual you have in your hands is a guide for the correct use of the WINNER remote control.

This unit, together with the associated receiver, has been specifically designed for the wireless remote control of electromechanically operated machinery.

The radio signals used employ FM frequency modulation and FFSK encoding. The most advanced technology and the latest generation microprocessors have been used in electronic design. This allows total safety in the use of the radio remote control.

To avoid unwanted operations, the system is provided with various security mechanisms that will be described in the next chapters. Any self-detection of anomalies blocks the execution of the operations..

The receiver works in the UHF band at frequencies between 433,050 and 434,775 MHz (UN 30 and 32 of the C.N.A,F.), or between 868,000 and 870,000 MHz (UN 39 of the C.N.A.F.) as prescribed in the telecommunications regulations I-ETS 300 220.

1.1. GCFI VERSION The GCFI (Intelligent Frequency Change Management) version provides the equipment with an intelligent system enabling it to change to vacant frequencies automatically and at random, thereby avoiding interferences which could cause continuous downtimes during operation.

ATTENTION!: EVERYTHING RELATED IN THIS MANUAL TO THE CHANGE OF FREQUENCY AND THE WORKING CHANNEL, IS NOT VALID FOR THE GCFI VERSION.

2. GENERAL TERMS FOR THE CORRECT AND SAFE USE OF THE RADIO REMOTE CONTROL The user, in order to have the maximum security in the handling of the remote control, must follow the rules described in this manual.

The operator of the remote control, when he has to perform any command of the device, must be located in a place where he can visualize at all times the manoeuvre he is performing. If it’s impossible to do so, he must be located in a place where he can see the maximum possible manoeuvre, and in the hidden places, an assistant is required. Never perform a manoeuvre that may have an uncontrolled part.

Do not leave the transmitter of the remote control on the floor or on top of metal blocks, in case you have to do it, activate the emergency stop (STOP BUTTON) of the transmitter and put the key / switch in its OFF position or lock the keyboard in if enabled (see section 2.1 - Keypad Lock Procedure).

When the operator of the remote control ends his working day or has to leave the remote control, he must activate the emergency stop (STOP BUTTON) and place the battery in the charger for its recharging.

2.1. KEYBOARD LOCKING PROCESS Optionally, the device can have a keyboard lock/unlock system using a key sequence.

The remote control keyboard is locked by pressing the start button 5 times in less than 3 seconds, with

the STOP BUTTON pressed, which is indicated by the simultaneous lighting up of the LED and the

LED .

To unlock the keyboard, press the start button again 5 times in less than 3 seconds with the STOP BUTTON pressed. However, to confirm the unlocking, the two LEDs above blink three times.

The transmission ones are composed of the following elements:

Remote control

Batteries

Charger

3.1. REMOTE CONTROL It is a sealed pushbutton box (IP65) made of highly resistant plastic material. On the front are the pushbuttons for operations and indicative LEDs, and on the back it incorporates the housing for interchangeable batteries.

The transmitter consists of three parts: pushbuttons, control circuit and UHF transmitter / transceiver.

For GCFI version, the diagram would be as follows:

The orders coming from the pushbuttons are acquired by the microprocessor, which is in charge of preparing the FFSK signal by adding the codes of direction and control and injecting it into the UHF transmitter. The transmitter incorporates the signal of that order to the carrier frequency, which previously filtered, will be emitted by the antenna.

In the case of the models that incorporate the GCFI version, the transmitter becomes a transceiver in order to establish a bi-directional communication with the receiver.

5. INSTALLATION AND START-UP

5.1. INSTALLATION OF THE RECEIVER The details of the receiver installation can be found in the corresponding manual.

It is indispensable that you consult the mentioned manual before starting up.

5.2. START-UP Once the receiver is installed, activating the general switch of the machine will light up the LEDs located on the front of the receiving equipment to verify its correct operation.

Insert a charged battery into the remote control and the LEDs on the button panel will light up sequentially to verify its operation. In the event that there is a problem with the EEPROM of the button panel, the S1 LED will switch on.

Unlock the emergency stop button (E-STOP BUTTON). When the START button is pressed, the remote control will start working by activating the stop relays and start relay, and the general contactor will be

locked. The LED of the remote control will be activated indicating that the remote control is in operating mode. From this moment on, the activation of any button will result in the activation of the corresponding operation. The selected manoeuvre will remain active as long as the button is pressed.

To keep the radio channel free and prevent the operator from accidentally leaving the machine running when not in use, the remote control has been fitted with an automatic stop system. If no intervention is made, this system acts after 180 seconds (configurable) sending a stop sequence to the receiver, which will cause the machine to stop.

At the time the machine stops it will be displayed by pulses on the LEDs & the receiver the

frequency channel on which the equipment is working. The display begins with the tens pulses through

the LED and will continue indicating the units using the LED . In case that the value of tens or units

will be zero, the display of this LED will be skipped. More details on this channel display are provided in Chapter 8.

5.2.1. SETTING THE TRANSMISSION TIME

The configuration of the automatic stop time (default 180 seconds) is done from the pushbutton panel, and this time can be changed between three values as follows:

Lock the E-STOP BUTTON and remove the battery. In case that the remote control incorporates a 1)switch or shut-off key, it would not be necessary to remove the battery, just put it in the OFF position.

ATTENTION!: REMEMBER THAT LOCKING THE E- STOP BUTTON IS THE SAME AS STOPPING THE REMOTE CONTROL, THAT MEANS, TO DEACTIVATE IMMEDIATELY ANY RELAY OPERATED IN THE RECEIVER.

Press any of the pushbuttons marked as TIME in the following figure and, keeping it pressed, insert 2)the battery or, in the case that it includes a key or a switch, take it to the ON position.

6. MAINTENANCE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL The equipment you have purchased is manufactured using top quality materials to ensure perfect working order and operation of the remote control. Similarly to all machinery and equipment, the remote control requires minimum basic maintenance tasks that should be performed.

ATTENTION!: IF ANY ANOMALY IS DETECTED IN THE OPERATION OF THE EQUIPMENT, IT MUST BE PUT OUT OF SERVICE IMMEDIATELY

In order to increase the life of your equipment as much as possible, and avoid unnecessary repair costs, we recommend that you carefully follow the following conservation and maintenance tips:

Avoiding unnecessary hits on the equipment.

Use the attachment accessories, shoulder strap, properly and adjust it so that the use of the equipment is comfortable and safe.

Although the equipment has a high degree of water tightness (IP65), it shouldn't be totally or partially submerged and shouldn't be left in places where it could flood if it rains.

The pushbuttons of the set are made of an elastic material to give them elasticity, texture and water tightness, so you must take special care to avoid touching them with sharp objects that could damage the structure of the button. When the button is worn-out or damaged it must be replaced immediately.

It’s also advisable not to leave the remote unnecessarily exposed to the sun's rays.

Check that the battery holder contacts are free of dirt and rust and that they exert the spring return force correctly.

ATTENTION!: BEFORE ANY MANIPULATION PROCEED TO DEACTIVATE THE MAIN SWITCH OF THE MACHINE.

Generally, it’s advisable to carry out a complete revision of the water tightness devices that protect both the receiver and the transmitter from bad weather conditions every now and then. It’s advisable that this revision is done by a Technical Assistance Service accredited by ITOWA, since a bad waterproofing can cause irreparable damage to the equipment.

In the case of the remote control, pay particular attention to the joints and rubber protections of the different drives, replacing them immediately if they have been cut or suffered other damages.

ATTENTION!: ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS SHOULD BE USED FOR ANY REPAIRS, AND THE SAFETY FEATURES AS WELL AS THOSE OF THE UHF TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER, SHOULD NEVER BE ALTERED..

To test the function of the active safety, simply actuate the EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON on the transmitter while it is running. The general contactor must fall down immediately..

To check the operation of the passive safety, disconnect the power or remove the battery from the transmitter. The general contactor should drop after within a maximum of 1.6 seconds.


16

6.1. MAINTENANCE OF THE CHARGER The following parts will be checked:

Contacts (which must be free of dirt and rust)

The correct display and indication of the LEDs.

If you have any questions or doubts, please do not hesitate to contact our Technical Assistance Service or any of our authorized technicians.

6.2. BATTERY CHARGING The batteries included in the ITOWA equipment have no memory effect, which means that they can be put into charge without being completely discharged. For this reason, and in order to extend their useful life, it’s recommended to use one battery every half working day.
