 Operating-Manual
1. Safety
1.1. Safety of the Radio Remote Control System
This radio remote control system is equipped with electronic and mechanical
safety features. Processing of control signals sent from other transmitters is not
possible since transmission coding is set only once.

Risks can occur from improper operation or use, and these may include:

• personal injury to or death of the operator or other persons.

• damage to the machine or other equipment or material assets.

All operators of this equipment must be qualified and trained and must follow pre-
cisely the operating instructions set out in this manual.

1.2. Safety Information

The following notifications are used in this manual:

WARNING! This warns of the imminent danger of life, threatening accidents

and serious injuries which may result if operating instructions are
ignored or disobeyed.

ATTENTION! This warns of possible damage to the machine which may result
if operating instructions are ignored or disobeyed (which can also
result of loss in any warranty).

IMPORTANT! This draws attention to features or information which will allow for
easier operation.

1
1.3. Possible Sources of Danger
This system makes remote control via radio possible. The transmission of control
commands, however, can take place around obstacles and out of direct sight of
operators. Therefore:

• Switch off the transmitter and remove the key if the unit is placed any dis-
tance away from the operator. The key must be switched off (to the „0“ posi-
tion).

• Disconnect the power supply before any assembly, maintenance or repair

work is done.

• Never remove or in any way alter any of the safety features of this system.

1.4. Authorized Operators

Always review the operating manual of any machine which is to be controlled by
radio remote control!

The key must be removed from the transmitter when the transmitter is placed any
distance away from the operator in order to reduce the potential for unauthorized
operation.

The operating authority, owner or management must make the manual accessible
for the operator and must ensure that the operator has carefully read and fully
understood each section of this manual.

1.5. Safety Measures to be Taken in the Work Area

The operator must make sure the work area in which the radio remote control unit
will be operated is free from trip-hazards or other potential safety hazards (i.e.,
ensure work area is a „non-slip“ area).

Operate the transmitter only with the accompanying carrying belt.

2
1.6. Protective Features
The machine functions can be stopped either by:

• Pushing the emergency stop button on the operator control panel of the
transmitter (EMERGENCY STOP!).

• Turning the transmitter key switch to off position (machine functions will
stop approx. 450 milliseconds or 2 seconds after switch is turned to off
position, depending on receiver time-out setting).

These safety features are included for the protection of the operator as well as
others within the work area.

WARNING! Safety features must not be removed or modified in any way.

1.7. Reaction in Emergency Situations

In the event of an emergency situation, press the red emergency stop (EMER-
GENCY STOP!) push-button. After the emergency stop button has been pushed,

WARNING! Operators are strictly forbidden to use the radio remote control
unit unless they have carefully read and fully understood this
operating manual. Special attention must be given to the safety
instructions contained in this manual!

2.1. Preparation for Operation

2.1.1. Loading Battery Adaptor Pack with Disposable Batteries

Insert three fresh batteries into the battery adaptor as shown. Make sure to follow
the polarity illustrations inside each battery compartment when inserting.

IMPORTANT! Use only AA 1.5V alkaline batteries or equivalent.

2.1.2. Optional Rechargeable Battery Pack Loading

WARNING! Danger of Explosion! Use only HETRONIC original parts. If

original HETRONIC parts are not used there could be a danger
of explosion! An explosion may result in the release of harmful
gases or fumes and/or flying debris. This may result in injury or
death to the operator or others present in the work area!

To ensure a full charge, load one of the optional rechargeable battery packs into
the battery charger before operating the transmitter.

optional rechargeable battery pack is fully charged, the LED stops flashing and
remains green. Load the second optional rechargeable battery pack in the battery
charger to ensure there is always a fully charged battery pack available.

IMPORTANT! The charger recognizes automatically when the optional

rechargeable battery pack is fully charged. At full charge of the
battery pack, the charger switches to a „trickle“ charging position.
It does not matter whether the battery is empty or partially
charged, as the battery charger automatically regulates the
charging process.

5
2.1.3. Safety Check

WARNING! Danger to personnel and property! The operator must read

and fully understand the emergency stop function outlined in the
machine manufacturer’s operating manual before beginning any
operation!

This checklist must be carefully followed before beginning any operation:

• Check transmitter for any physical damage to safety features. Ensure there
are no broken parts or any damage to rubber caps around the switches or
joysticks. If damage exists, do not operate the unit until damage has been
repaired!

• Ensure that the red emergency stop (EMERGENCY STOP!) push-button is

switched to the E-stop position.

• Ensure that the transmitter is switched to off position.

• Place the battery adaptor pack with fresh batteries or a fully charged
optional rechargeable battery pack into the battery compartment located at
the bottom of the transmitter (reference “Changing the Battery” on page 9).

 Trouble Shooting
This chapter covers what to do if the Hetronic Ergo V2 does not seem to work
properly. If you are unable to resolve the problem after using this section, contact
your nearest Hetronic representative.

1. Common Problems
The following are common problems associated with using the Hetronic Ergo V2
system, and their possible solutions. For help in diagnosing problems in the
receiver, refer to the drawing in the Startup and Test Procedures section in chapter
2 that shows the location of each diagnostic LED.

1.1. Problem: The transmitter is turned on, but it does not

broadcast (LED not flashing).
Possible Solution(s):
• Battery pack is dead. Replace disposable batteries with fresh batteries, or
replace optional rechargeable battery pack with fully charged rechargeable
battery pack.

• Fuse located on coder board is blown. Check fuse and replace if blown.

• Key switch is broken. Check wiring to the key switch contact element.
Replace key switch wiring or contact element.

• The coder board has failed. Contact Hetronic.

1.2. Problem: The transmitter is broadcasting, but all

motions are not working.
Possible Solution(s):
• The EMERGENCY STOP! push-button is activated (pushed in). Pull out the
EMERGENCY STOP! push-button.

• Transmitter is out of range (100m typical). Bring the transmitter back into
range.

• A motion function was not ‘off’ when transmitter was turned on. Make sure
all push buttons are in the off position. Cycle transmitter power (turn off and
then on).

• Incoming power to receiver is off. Turn on power to receiver.

• Fuse is blown in receiver. Check and replace any blown fuses.

• Receiver is set for different frequency channel. If green Telegram LED

(LD2) located on the receiver printed circuit board is not flashing, check
that the receiver frequency channel matches that of the transmitter.

22
 NOTE! Always match the transmitter frequency channel to the receiver.
Never change the receiver frequency channel without consulting
Hetronic first.

• Receiver is set for different address code. Check to make sure the ADMO
address code on the receiver printed circuit board matches the ADMO
address code of the transmitter.

• EMERGENCY STOP! failure in transmitter. Check EMERGENCY STOP!

push-button for damage. Check wiring to EMERGENCY STOP! push-but-
ton contact element for broken or disconnected wire(s). Replace broken
wire(s) or EMERGENCY STOP! push-button.

• EMERGENCY STOP! failure in the receiver. Check red EMERGENCY

STOP! LED (LD3) on the receiver PCB. If it is flashing, contact Hetronic.

1.3. Problem: All machine motions work intermittently.

Possible Solution(s):
• Antenna connection inside receiver is loose or has fallen off. Secure the
antenna connection.

• External antenna (when used) is loose, poorly grounded, or receiving inter-

ference. Ensure the antenna is properly grounded, and installed in an open
area of the machine. Contact Hetronic for more details regarding external
antenna mounting.

• Noise suppressors are not installed on magnetic contactors (where applica-

ble) being controlled by the receiver. Make sure all magnetic contactors
being controlled by the receiver have surge suppressors installed.

• Control wiring may be combined with power wiring. Make sure that all con-
trol wiring is separate from power wires.

• Another Hetronic transmitter may be interfering with the system. If another

Hetronic system is located within 75 meters, the frequency channels must
be at least 2 channels apart. If another Hetronic system is within 20 meters,
the channels must be at least 3 channels apart. Contact Hetronic for assis-
tance. NOTE: This does not apply for the STD-402 RF modules.

1.4. Problem: Some machine motions work intermittently.

Possible Solution(s):
• Wiring may be loose to that machine motion. Check wiring from the
receiver to the machine motion.

• Connector or wire inside receiver has come loose. Check all terminal block
connectors and wires.

23
 • Surge suppressors may not be installed on magnetic contactors (where
applicable) controlling that machine motion. Make sure all magnetic contac-
tors being controlled by the receiver have surge suppressors installed.

• Control wiring may be combined with power wiring. Make sure that all con-
trol wiring is separate from power wires.

2. Questions to Ask
When reporting a problem to Hetronic you may be asked several questions per-
taining to the Ergo V2 system. Asking these questions to the person who reported
the problem prior to calling Hetronic will speed up the troubleshooting process.

2.1. General
• Are there other Hetronic systems at or near the machine site?

2.2. Transmitter
• Is the EMERGENCY STOP! push-button pulled out?

• Is the key switch in the ON position?

• Did you press the START/HORN push-button?

• Were the push-buttons in the off position prior to turning on the transmitter?

• Did you press the START/HORN push-button while accidently holding in

one of the other push buttons?

• Are the disposable batteries in the battery adaptor pack new, or Is there a
fully charged optional rechargeable battery pack installed?

• Did you take the transmitter out of its operating range (100 meters)?

2.3. Receiver
