1 Description
The micron 4 transmitter is designed to transmit command instructions for controlling industrial
cranes and hoists as well as operating machines and plants.
Depending on the type and version selected, up to 24 control commands plus the
integrated STOP commands are available to the operator.
A non-interchangeable system address ensures the functional safety of the radio control
system when operating cranes or machines. This feature is particularly important when
several cranes or machines are in use, for example in halls and shops. The system
address is exclusively allocated to each HBC radio transmitter and its respective
receiver.
It is not possible to activate crane or machine functions using a radio control
system allocated to another crane or machine.
The radio control system consists of the micron 4 transmitter, two rechargeable NiCd
batteries, a battery charger and a receiver with antenna. The receiver housing with
integrated antenna is made of ABS plastic.
The following radio receivers may be used in conjunction with the micron 4 transmitter:
FSE 716 FSE 722 B FSE 735
Note:
The improper use, operation or deployment of the device renders the manufacturer
guarantee void of any legal substance!
2 Safety Instructions
2.1 Pictographs
The following pictographs will be used throughout the present operating instructions :
Ø Read the Operating Instructions Manual carefully and thoroughly before working with
the transmitter for the first time !
Ø The operator undertakes to strictly adhere to the instructions and proceedings
described in this manual, as well as to follow the general rules and regulations for
worker safety and accident prevention. Ignoring any such instructions or regulations
could pose a fatal threat to the operator or others.
Ø Keep this manual on location and readily available at all times!
Ø Only authorized and properly trained personnel may operate the transmitter.
Ø Anyone who is under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that has a
detrimental effect on a person's reactions may at no time commission, operate,
maintain or repair the transmitter.
Ø Before switching the transmitter on ensure that no-one is or can be endangered by
the initiated operation.
Ø With the first signs of any malfunction related to the operative safety and reliability
of the device, the operator must immediately shut down or not activate the
transmitter. For the purpose of the present manual "shut down" implies :
– switching OFF the transmitter,
– storing the transmitter in a safe place and ensuring no unauthorized access,
– de-energizing the receiver,
– unplugging the connection cable on the receiver !
Ø Defects must be repaired and sources of interference must be removed
immediately !
Ø A defective transmitter may only be repaired by qualified and competent personnel.
Use only original HBC spare parts. The use of any other spares will render the
technical inspectorate approval invalid as well as substantially impede operative
safety.
Ø Observe all periodical tests and inspections that are required by law or
recommended in the present operating instructions !
Ø When using the micron 4 transmitter always observe the regulations and instructions
stipulated in the authoritative worker safety and accident prevention regulations
(VBG 9)
– The micron 4 transmitter has been manufactured in accordance with the
regulations and guidelines stipulated in the German Trade Association's "Safety
and Accident Prevention Regulations for Operating Cranes by Radio Controls"
(VBG 9; ZH 1/547) and pr EN 12077-1.
– The micron 4 transmitter has been tested and approved in accordance with EMC
guidelines and complies with the authoritative standards for emitted interference
and interference immunity.
Ø Use the transmitter cautiously and properly. In particular when using a transmitter to
radio control a machine or crane for the first time.
Note :
– In the event of an interruption of the radio link during a working cycle – what can
occasionally happen – both transmitter and receiver automatically shut down (so-
called "compulsory switch-off").
To reactivate the system release all operator controls, such as pushbuttons or
momentary contacts, and allow the control elements to return to their zero
position. Press the "ON/Horn" pushbutton. The system must be reactivated before
the crane or machine can react to control commands ! This feature hinders any
uncontrolled or unwanted crane or machine movement, should the radio link be
interrupted.
– When operating a crane by means of a radio control system for the first time, you
may miss the physical contact to the crane that you were used to in the operating
stand. As you are no longer in the crane and can no longer sense the starting of
the crane movements as distinctly, crane reactions will appear sluggish or dull.

Note :
The transmitter will automatically switch OFF within a few minutes if the operator fails
to replace the drained battery.
Should the operator – intentionally or unintentionally – switch OFF the transmitter with
the STOP pushbutton, proceed as follows to restart the transmitter :
1. Pull STOP pushbutton (pos. À) to unlock.
2. Switch transmitter ON with the "ON/Horn" pushbutton (pos. Â).
Note :
Always use the key switch (pos. Á) to switch the transmitter ON or OFF. Do not
use the STOP pushbutton !
For safety reasons we have equipped the transmitter with an automatic switch-OFF. The
transmitter is automatically put out of circuit after 15 minutes of non-use.
The automatic switch-OFF also saves battery power.
Note:
The automatic switch-OFF does not relieve the operator of his responsibility to turn
OFF the transmitter when not in use !
The micron 4 can be reactivate by means of the "On/Horn“ pushbutton (refer to

Transmitter 2 has control over the crane control system.
Transmitter 1 is to be given control. The operators must
continue as follows :
1. Turn rotary switch (pos. Á) on transmitter 2 to the "Pitch" position.
2. For safety reasons deactivate transmitter 2, i.e. turn the key switch (pos. À) to the
"0 = OFF" position.
3. Activate transmitter 1, i.e. turn the key switch (pos. À) to the "1 = ON" position.
4. Turn the rotary switch (pos. Á) on transmitter 1 to the "Catch" position.
Transmitter 1 now has sole access to all crane functions.
Note :
– A power loss at the receiver-end activates a general reset of the crane system.
All transmitters have access to the crane radio controls. This implies that the
pitch – catch settings must be readjusted at the transmitter-end.
– Should an operator forget to issue the "pitch" statement and shuts down his
transmitter (transmitter shut down using the STOP pushbutton or technical
failure) the second transmitter has no access to the crane radio control system. In
order to give transmitter 2 access to the radio control system the receiver must
be cut OFF from the supply voltage (master switch) and the crane control system
reactivated as described above.

4. Turn the rotary switch (pos. Á) on transmitter 1 to the position "A" or "B" or "A+B" or
"B+A".
Transmitter 1 now has sole access to all crane functions.
Caution :
Should an operator want control over crane B and crane A (rotary switch position
"B+A") and the operator must correct with crane A (switch position "A"), it cannot be
guaranteed that the operator retains control over crane B, i.e. if the operator turns the
rotary switch from position "B+A" to "B" and leaves the switch in position "0 = Pitch"
for longer than one second, he releases crane A.
Note :
– A power loss at the receiver-end activates a general reset of the crane system.
All transmitters have access to the crane controls. This implies that the pitch –
catch settings must be readjusted at the transmitter-end.
– Should an operator forget to issue the "pitch" statement and shuts down his
