1 - Operation
u The radio remote controls fitted on the EFFER cranes consist with a transmitter, (also called key-board), of very
reduced size and weight, supplied with adjustable support and carrying belt to help the operator in his/her work,
and with a receiver applied on the crane, connected electrically to the controlbank.
u The electric signals sent to the receiver by the operator whenever he/she moves the transmitter paddles, are
transformed by the receiver itself into small shifts of the levers of the crane controlbank.
u Many crane movements may occur simultaneously. Moreover, as the movements are proportional, small shifts
of the transmitter paddles performed by the operator correspond to low speed crane movements, whereas the
higher is the shift of the joystick, the higher is the crane operating speed.
u The dialogue between the transmitter and the receiver occurs thru a preset radio frequency. In order to avoid
possible interferences with other radio control units, which might cause an accidental operation of the crane,
the radio remote control is equipped with an electronic device. That device will send the received signal to the
controlbank only after having checked that it really came from the combined transmitter.

NOTE: Read in whole the following sections before trying any modification or repair to the radio remote
controls. You might find these modifications unnecessary once you know how the whole system works and
how the settings are carried out!

2.1 Receiver unit
The receiver unit features two electric connectors:
A- to connect the wires for the controlbank operation and for the power supply
B- to connect the emergency cable (see information on this cable in section 2.4)
-The connector applied on the point “A” has 32 pins -some of them void- for the following
connections:
u Six equal electric connectors, to connect six proportional activators located on the crane hydraulic controlbank
(ref. M).
u Additional electric connector (ref. N), with a LED included, to supply the main oil relief valve on the
controlbank.
u Electric supply, connected to the cable (ref. O) with three pins (marked: 1-2-yellow / green). The negative polarity
shall be connected to the wire marked 1, whereas the positive polarity goes to the wire marked 2. The yellow/green
pin is not employed for the normal use of the radio control as it was designed for special accessories such as for
example aerial platforms, or warning signals indicating that the radio-controls are at use.
u The box (ref. P) with key for the selection of the type of crane operation (manual operation / radio remote
control operation) is connected to the same group of wires mentioned above and is applied to the point “A” on
the receiver.
u When selecting the manual operation, the connector ref. N is powered up continuously, whereas in radio remote
control operation, that connecter is powered up only when a transmitter paddle is activated.
u An additional cable (ref. Q) of 10-mm diameter, is applied to the same connector “A”; six black wires marked
from 1 to 6, and one yellow/green wire are gathered inside the cable. The output wires of the radio remote control,
marked from 1 to 5, are to be connected to the truck accessories: by selecting the corresponding controls on the
transmitter, these wires will convey an electric signal.

2.1.3 Electronic module for controlbank paddle operation, EFFER part # 8991236
for HAWE, EFFER part # 8991380 for DANFOSS
u A red LED (ref. Y) is located on the module bottom, on its left side. It lights up whenever any paddle of the
transmitter is moved, indicating that there is actually a power supply to the main solenoid valve fitted on the
controlbank.
The signal output is on the terminal 3, marked YO. The same signal makes also the LED fitted on the connector
of the main solenoid valve on the controlbank light up. If the LED does not light up, check the electric connection
or the correct operation of the relay (ref. Z).

S
Six yellow LEDs and six green LEDs are located on the upper side of the electronic module (ref. T): they light up when
one of the paddle is moved. Starting from the left, you find the LEDs connected to the paddles corresponding to
the following functions: crane slewing, first (main) boom, second (knuckle) boom, extension, 1st supplementary
control, and 2nd supplementary control.
NOTE: When the crane is equipped with a winch, this is activated by the 2nd supplementary control.
u The yellow LEDs light up when a function is occurring, sending oil to the port B of the controlbank, while
the green LEDs light up when oil is sent to the port A of the controlbank (see also Service manual of the HAWE
controlbanks).
u Under the LEDs row, six small potentiometers control the feathering intensity of the controlbank lever. The
feathering of the lever is necessary to perform even very small movements, avoiding the interference of mechanic
frictions at the start-up stage.
u Note however, that HAWE levers shall not vibrate visibly (they’ll rather look steady while moving by radio); you’ll
just feel they slightly vibrate while touching the levers when radio-controlling the crane.
In general, we can state that adjusting the potentiometer at half stroke grants the best performance of the HAWE
controlbank.

THE POWER OF PERFORMANCE
Radio controls HETRONIC BMS1 C4.1
12 more electric connections (ref. S) are located on the lower side of the electronic module. These are connected
to the cables conveying the signals to the six functions of the crane controlbank. These connections are marked
by numbers 4 to 15 on the female connectors and bear the references marked A1, A2 etc. on the male connectors.
They are connected to the 12 LEDs ref. T , upwards, in the same position order.
The transmitted electric signal of these connections is defined as “under power”.
In order to verify the presence of this signal, use a tester for power check (or even a simple test lamp), providing
a connection at the point 2 (negative cable connection).
As a consequence of what has been explained above, when a transmitter paddle is activated, the red LED and the
LED corresponding to the selected manoeuvre will light up.
If many manoeuvres are performed simultaneously, many LEDs will light up on the upper side.
u On the right side of the board, an additional red LED is fitted (ref. V). It lights up when a short-circuit occurs. If
it lights up while a specific manoeuvre is occurring, check the electric circuit corresponding to that manoeuvre,
included the activator fitted to the corresponding lever on the crane controlbank.
On the upper side of the board, above the LEDs ref. T, six jumpers are fitted.
u When jumpers are located between the central pin and the left pin, the radio remote control can operate
controlbanks equipped with 24-volt coils, while if the jumpers are located between the central pin and the right
pin, the radio remote control can operate controlbanks equipped with 12-volt coils.

EFFER part # 8991237 (European Frequency and other countries Ref. CS434)
EFFER part # 8991238 (American Frequency and other countries Ref. CS458)

NOTE: The two references above indicate the type of radio transmission frequency, according to the
homologation obtained by Hetronic in your country.
u Upon specific request, the EFFER Technical Department will give you the exact reference code according to
the country in which the radio remote control shall be used. This module receives the signals transmitted to the
radio antenna.
This module is excluded when you operate with the emergency cable (see section 4).
u In case of a fault occurred to the radio remote
control, where there is no physical damage to the
antenna, and the fault disappears when using the
emergency cable, the most probable cause has to be
investigated in the receiver radio module (or in the
transmitter module located inside the transmitter,
see section 2.2.13), or in a wire disconnected in the
electric circuit.

2.1.5 Electronic basic module, to turn the transmitter output signals into
controls to the controlbank
EFFER part # 8991239 until first months 2001 (Fig. A),
EFFER part # 8991239A since first months 2001 (Photo B, not shown)
This module is fitted with twelve relays, each of them having a small red lamp on the upper side to show when
they are being activated electrically.
Those relays (ref. E) not only send the signals to the wires of the accessories (k2=buzzer; k3=truck engine rpm
increase; k4= truck engine rpm decrease; k8= truck engine start; k9= truck engine stop), but also control the
operation of the radio remote control or of the crane (k5 or K6 =enabling the 7th and 8th function; k10= for crane
equipped with the fpi device only). The remaining relays are not used normally (k1, k7, k11, k12).
On the upper side of the module of the radio remote controls delivered until the beginning of 2001, 16 switches
(ref. F) are located. They define the dialogue Code between the transmitter unit and the receiver unit. 16 more
similar switches are fitted in the transmitter unit to the same purpose.
That Code must never be changed, as no trouble can be solved by changing the dialogue Code. Electronic module
EFFER part # 8991239.
The radio remote controls delivered since the beginning of 2001 are equipped with a single part with fixed code
“Ref. F” instead of the switches. Electronic module EFFER part # 8991239A.
Four LEDs visible from the outside too, are located on the upper side, on the right. They have the following
meaning:
Yellow: -Operation- It starts flashing after approximately 3 sec. since the radio remote control is powered up, by
turning the key applied to the box ref. P (see section 2.1).

THE POWER OF PERFORMANCE
Radio controls HETRONIC BMS1 C4.1

Green: -Signal- It starts flashing when the transmitter is turned ON. It blinks faster when the emergency stop push-
button on the transmitter unit is pressed, or when the battery fitted on the transmitter unit is exhausted.
Red: -Error- It starts flashing when the transmitter unit is activated by a lever control paddle or with an accessory
control switch left “on” from previous operations. (control for truck engine rpm increase/decrease, and -if supplied-
control for 7th and 8th function, see the last section of the description of the transmitter unit). It also flashes when
a manoeuvre for the activation of the dialogue between the transmitter unit and the receiver was carried out too
fast. Exit the error mode by repeating the complete starting procedure. Finally, it might also indicate there are
electric faults in the receiver unit.
Yellow: -Normal- When lit, it means the whole system works correctly. It lights off when the red LED lights up, or
when the green LED is OFF or flashes continuously.

2.1.6 Module for the activation of the 7th /8th function
When the radio remote control is designed for the activation of the 7th or 8th lever of the hydraulic controlbank,
the transmitter is provided with a switch (see section 2.2.6) and inside the receiver, an electronic module, through
the shift of the 5th and 6th control lever paddle, controls the corresponding 8th and the 7th control lever move-
ments.
When the controlbank seventh lever needs to be activated by the radio remote control, the fitted module is con-
nected to the 6th transmitter control lever only.
The fuse amperage does not change.

2.2 Transmitter unit

The transmitter unit is provided with the following functions:


2.2.1 A- Push-button for emergency stop – EFFER part #8991242 -. Press this push-button to turn off the radio
remote control, and to cut out the main solenoid valve applied to the controlbank inlet. As a consequence, all
crane movements will be stopped immediately. To go back to work, turn the push-button clockwise, as shown by
the arrows on the red knob.
2.2.2 B- Proportional paddles – EFFER part #8991130 -. These paddles, all alike, activate the hydraulic controlbank
levers, according to the paddle shift performed by the operator, providing proportional and progressive crane
movements.
2.2.3 C- Green LED – EFFER part #8991243 - It starts flashing when the radio remote control is turned ON. It flashes
faster to indicate that the transmitter battery is exhausted, and in such case, after 30 seconds, the transmission
with the receiver will be interrupted. When the LED flashes fast, the transmitter buzzer beeps too.
2.2.4 D- Three-steps switch – EFFER part #8991244 - When the switch is turned in central position, all crane
movements run at max. speed. When it is turned on the left, all crane movements run at low speed. When it is
turned on the right (by impulse), it turns ON and OFF an optional function, if available (a positive signal is sent to
the wire no. 6, see the “receiver unit”, section 2.1, to identify the corresponding terminal). When the crane comes
in an FPI version, if the switch is in the central position, all crane movements run at low speed, while when it is
on the left, all crane movements run at max. speed and, when it is turned on the right (by impulse), it turns ON or
OFF the FPI device. For the electric connection of the FPI device, see the corresponding manual.
2.2.5 E- Three-steps switch, of impulse type – EFFER part # 8991245 - Push it to one side to start the truck

2.3 Battery charger with spare battery
The battery charger and an additional spare battery are delivered together with the radio remote control.
The battery charger operates with an operating voltage of 12 volt or 24 volt. The adjustment to the charging
voltage is performed by the battery-charger automatically, according to the input voltage. The electric connection
of the battery charger can be performed using the two black cables pre-arranged (no specific recommendations
regarding the polarity).
After a charging time of approximately 3,5 hours, the green flashing LED - ref. X - indicates that the charging
process is finished.
When the battery is fully charged, the LED starts flashing, indicating that a “preserving” charge is in progress.
However, it is advisable not to leave the charged batteries in the battery charger.
To get a long operating time out of the batteries, we recommend that you charge any battery only when it is
completely exhausted.
As already mentioned, the battery charger is protected against power polarity reversal. However, it is essential
to connect it in a position sheltered by a fuse, with voltage ON even with the truck key in the OFF position: the
voltage consumption is so small that it will not affect the truck batteries.
Alternatively, we recommend mounting an additional 5-Ampere fuse between the battery charger cable and the
connecting point on the truck.
The battery charger should be mounted inside the truck cabin, in an area sheltered by accidental hits.
As the electric contacts between the battery charger and battery are gold-plated, they do not require any special
maintenance. However, keep the two spring-contacts on the battery charger clean, and check for smooth sliding
in and out.

2.4 Emergency cable
u The emergency cable allows using the radio remote control in case of faults arisen in the radio transmission
system.
It may also be used in case of exhausted batteries, so as to keep-on using the transmitter.
The cable connection point is located on the lower side of the receiver unit – see point B, section 2.1.
The false battery must be fitted in the compartment located on the bottom of the transmitter unit – see section
2.2.10.
The cable length is 20 metres.
The start-up procedure for the radio remote control does not change: always follow the instructions written in
the previous sections.
u Also the pre-set adjustments and all the other optional functions fit to the ado-controls do not change when
the emergency cable is used. When not at use, the cable should be stored in a compartment inside the truck
cabin. Do not store however the false battery applied to the cable end in an area subject to magnetic fields since
this could damage it definitively.

u First test: The first test checks the non-operative stroke of the paddle. All crane movements must start after
performing a short “idle” stroke with all the paddles. This stroke should be as equal as possible for all the paddles,
so as to make the operator’s job easier. If you need to increase or reduce the stroke, act on the two push-buttons
placed at the left of the transmitter. While moving the paddle, press the button ref. “A” to decrease the idle stroke,
or the push-button ref. “B” to increase it. This test shall be performed for all the paddles, on both directions of
operation.
u Second test: The second test concerns the maximum stroke of the controlbank lever. At the max. operating
speed, the mechanical lever must complete the whole stroke. The test requires that you move the paddle until
its end, so as to achieve the max. speed available for that movement, and that you shift simultaneously the same
mechanical controlbank lever, thus testing that no further stroke is possible.

If both end-strokes occur simultaneously, no further


setting is required, while if there is still some mechanical
stroke available on the controlbank lever, then press the
push-button “B” until the stroke of the controlbank lever
increases up to its max. allowed position.
u Third test: The third test concerns the non-operative

u Fourth test: The fourth test concerns the max. speed of
each movement when operating the crane at low speed. In most
of the cases, the operator wishes to adapt it to the specific jobs
he carries out.
To perform the adjustment, move a paddle, then act on the
push-buttons “A” and “B”.
Important: After any adjustment, wait for at least 10 seconds

It is recommended not to leave the red key to an un-expert
operator to avoid jeopardising the correct crane operation.

NOTE: If you have to change the operating speeds during the


work of the crane in FPI mode, before you start programming
you should apply an electrical bridge as shown in the photo

2.6 Procedure for the radio remote controls operation
Herebelow we summarize the procedure to be explained to the final operator for the use of the radio remote
control:
- Turn ON the crane electric system.
- Run the truck engine, then turn on the hydraulic pump and provide for crane correct stabilisation. Make sure the
key switch (ref. P) is turned to the “radio” position.
- Make sure the emergency stop push-buttons were not pressed accidentally, especially the button located on the
transmitter (ref. A). Otherwise, the radio remote control will not operate.
- In case of radio remote controls supplied with switch for the 7th and 8th function (ref. J), make sure the switch is turned to
the position in which the supplementary functions are disabled. Otherwise, the radio remote control will not operate.
- Turn by 90° the black key (ref. F) and wait until you hear a continuous sound coming from the transmitter, then
the second faster sound. The green LED located on the transmitter will start flashing.
- Wait for at least three seconds before pushing the green push-button (ref. G) to conclude the starting
procedure.
The yellow LED (normal) will light up, while the green LED (signal), and the yellow LED (operation) will be flashing
on the receiver unit.
NOTE: This procedure is valid even if you use the emergency cable.
Turn off the radio remote control by turning the black key (ref. F) 90° anticlockwise.

1- Operation
u The radio control is made up of a transmitting unit, also called pushbutton panel, which is equipped with a
support to be attached to the belt. As a standard feature the pushbutton has 8 single control levers to carry out
8 crane functions.
u The receiving unit, positioned near the manual control bank, dialogues only with its respective transmitting
unit: the recognition code is inserted into ADMO, and ensures that the crane can move only after an intentional
action by the crane operator.
u Whenever you operate a control lever or one of the operation switches of ancillary functions (placed on the
pushbutton panel), this information is transmitted, through the radio signal, to the receiving unit.
The receiving unit decodes the radio signal and changes it into an electrical control that operates the crane control
bank or one of the ancillary functions - if connected
u During the work, the operator can carry out more movements at the same time and the crane handling occurs
in a proportional way: if small shifts on the control levers of the pushbutton panel are made, with respect to the
neutral position, crane movements at low speed will consistently be run, and the more the control lever is shifted,
the higher is the crane operating speed.

N.B: It is recommended to perform any technical operation on radio control only after having completely
read the following chapters. Therefore, you will have the sufficient technical knowledge to carry out all
the necessary settings for optimal operation and to carry out some operations in case of any operating
failures.

N.B: We remind you that power supply to radio control must be cut off, by removing electrical cables from
truck batteries, in case welding operations on crane or truck are required.

NOTE: On CAN Dynamic version, (available only with DMU PLUS) pins 30 , 62 and 60 are not used. The wire is
not even connected to pin 30, and in place of it, pin 4 is connected; it signals when the radio is turned to REMOTE
mode. (This signal will be present on pin 3 of X13 and used by DMU to control CAN communication.)

NOTE: In the configuration of crane not equipped with DMU, connectors X10, X13, X14 are not connected and
the Blinker cable is used and connected to pins 57 (GND) and 16 (operation).

The connector B is provided with 4 poles: the same connector is used for
connecting the cable for programming through computer, and the electri-
cal cable provided with the crane is required for the radio control use in
case of an emergency.
This emergency may result from a failure in the rice-transmitting system of
the radio, or from the inability to use the system due to radio transmission
conflicts with other electronic devices in the area where you work with
the crane.

The receiving unit cover is provided with the key selector C with which you
select the select mode to handle the crane:
- RADIO, the crane is handled using the radio control
- HAND, the crane is handled by operating the manual levers placed
on the hydraulic control bank.

3 - Instructions for use
u
Read the instructions carefully and completely before you carry out any repair to the crane.
u The BMS-2 system is used with various types of transmitting units, therefore, it is possible that the pictures
and the drawings in these instructions for use do not represent exactly the transmitting unit. If you check
the Technical Documentation of the specific transmitting unit delivered with the documentation of the
specific crane, you will find the wiring/functional diagram of the radio control panel fitted to the crane.

3.1 Numbers of production and system


u Any technical explanation you may require, or the request of spare parts, must always be accompanied by
the numbers of production and system of the transmitting and receiving units.
The numbers are on the label on the unit outer part.

1. Special homologations, such as BTZ, FCC, CE, etc. and HF part.


2. Type of transmitting or receiving unit.
3. Frequency channel
4. Production number – The 1st position shows the place of produc-
tion (1=H-Germany, 2=H-Malta, 3=H-USA, 4=H-Italy).
The 4 following positions show the month and the year of produc-
tion.
The last 6 positions are the system address.
5. System number -Hetronic identification number
of transmitting or receiving unit.

3.2 Not authorised spare parts


u
Use only original spare parts. The use of not original spare parts may significantly affect the functionality,
the duration and the safety of this system and terminates the warranty. EFFER denies liability for any claim,
damage or injury even fatal to people, resulting from the use of not original spare parts.

3.3 Emergency stop function


u
The most important feature of remote radio control is the emergency
stop. Whenever you operate a transmitting unit joystick, to handle
the crane, a functionality control of the emergency stop button is
automatically carried out.
When the emergency stop button is pressed, the relay module trig-
gers a lock of all the movements of the machine. The receiving unit is
turned to safety mode.

The BMS-2 receving unit dispaly shows now “0 0 2” which indicates


the state “emergency stop on (pressed)” which is turned on.

36
THE POWER OF PERFORMANCE
Radio controls - HETRONIC BMS2 C4.2
To restart the system, just release the emergency stop button: it reacts faster
than any other function, then push START. When the emergency stop is
turned on, the system ignores all the other signals.

When the emergency stop is activated, the system disregards all other
signals.

During the operation steps of radio control, the display sho “0 0 1” to indicate that the system is waiting for the
start, i.e. the green button next to the transmitting unit must be pressed, to enable radio communication.
Once the radio control operation step is completed, if the display shows “0 0 4” this shows that radio com-
munication between the transmitting unit and the receiving unit has not been operated; if this numbering
remains after other attempts, a failure is present.

- Setting minimum speed.


Move slowly the joystick until you hear a beep emitted by
DMU. Hold the joystick in this position. Now you can set
the speed of this function with the help of the buttons
specially dedicated to programming, on the transmitter.
- Press in direction “+” to increase the speed and in direc-
tion “-” to reduce it.
We recommend that you set the speed of the function
on a level which is as low as possible. In this way it will be
possible to obtain a proportional excursion on the joystick
much broader and uniform.

- Setting maximum speed.


Move the joystick until its maximum position. Press “+” to increase speed and “-” to reduce it.
The receiving unit can program one single function at a time. Make sure that (with the cross-type joystick) only
a command at a time is controlled. When setting of the function in one direction is finished, proceed with the
other directions and functions as described above.
NOTE: the function “snail” is independent from the function “hare”. So, if you need to change the speed of the
function “snail”, select it before.
When the required setting is completed, wait at least 10 sec. before disconnecting the transmitting unit. The
new values are stored automatically in the system.

38
THE POWER OF PERFORMANCE
Radio controls - HETRONIC BMS2 C4.2
NOTE: All the remote radio controls are controlled by EFFER with settings pre-adjusted in ADMO key.

However, it is possible to replace electronic boards, encoders or decoders, but ADMO key must always be reinstalled
on the new board as this is the true identity card of the system.
If you request a spare radio control, remember to provide the crane identification codes to be able to receive it
with the correct settings.

3.6 Starting
u 1. Turn on the transmitting unit. You will hear a short acoustic signal.
u 2. Wait for the 2nd acoustic signal (about 3 sec.)
u 3. Press Start/acoustic signal button G again.
G
The system correct operation is reported on the receiving unit display ( “0
0 0” must appear).
If the control elements, the joystick or the switch lever are not turned
to the “off” (neutral) position, the transmitting unit will not be oper-
ated by pressing the Start/acoustic signal button.

3.7 Low battery level


u If, in the transmitting unit, the battery voltage drops below 3.4 volt, the
system signals a state of undervoltage. The red and green warning lights on
the trasmitter are lighted up and flash alternately. From that moment, you have
10 minutes at disposal to position the crane/machine in a safe place and to
turn off the transmitting unit. After 9 minutes the beeper will also come into
operation and after approx. 1 minute the radio control turns OFF.
You therefore have a minute of time before the system automatically switches
to safety mode. Further to this time disconnection, the transmitting unit sends
an emergency stop signal and all the movements of the crane or machine
are stopped.

To reboot the system, it is necessary to insert a charged battery in the trans-


mitting unit.

3.8 Optional control by cable
u This option allows you to operate the crane while the transmitting unit and
the receiving unit are connected with a cable. This is useful in situations where
there is radio noise or when the absence of a charged battery makes remote
transmission impossible. The cable supplies the transmitting unit with power, so
battery is not required. The system works even when battery is not in the battery
compartment.

3.9 Error localization

Introduction

u Setting by personal computer (of the 6 functions listed below) is available for the following radio controls
configurations:

1) Radio control Hetronic BMS2 installed on crane with an electro-hydraulic load limiting device .
2) Radio control Hetronic BMS2 installed on crane with load limiting device type DMU.
3) Radio control Hetronic BMS2 installed on crane with load limiting device type DMU 3000 PLUS (i.e., cranes
equipped with DYNAMIC CAN.

NOTE: for crane configurations of step 3) it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY using a personal computer to modify any
function.
u The radio control HETRONIC BMS2 fitted to EFFER cranes is supplied with an operating speed adjustment.
These speeds are not only the result of our experience, but are also designed according to the structural project
of the specific cranes.
Using the software indicated below it is possible to have access to some parameters which can be changed and
customized according to possible customer requirements. The indicated parameters are the following:

Parameters

1- direction for analogue functions (movement direction of transmitter joystick)


CRANE 2- ramp start value (movement speed-up start ramp)
FUNCTION 3- ramp stop value (movement slowing down stop ramp)

1- stop value (maximum speed adjustment in PLE mode)


PLE 2- ramp start value (start ramp for movement speed-up in PLE mode)
FUNCTION 3- ramp stop value (stop ramp for movement slowing down in PLE mode)

The operating specifications are described in section “Changing the parameters”.


Please note that the settings which were originally set, are included in the technical brochure, laid down
by us, relating to the features of the specific project, and NO change in the parameters not listed above is
allowed .
