R&M RACON® Series II Radio Control Systems
Crane Operation Made Easy and Safe
Safety and ease of operation
- Allows full concentrattion on crane operation, the operator does not have to follow the moving crane with an attached pendant control.
- Crane operator can control the crane from the safest location, no restriction of a fixed-length pendant cable.
- The transmitter's responsive two-step push buttons allow for easy and precise crane control.
Increased productivity
The transmitter stays with the operator, always ready for use. The crane can move at optimum speed and is not limited by the operator's pace.
Less maintenance - long life
- Less maintenance and longer life since there is no pendant cord to wear out and replace.
Ultimately, a radio control system will help you increase productivity and reduce the risk of accidents at your site. In today's highly competitive and safety-concious world, a radio control system is a wise investment with a short payback time.
Two handheld transmitter models
RaCon® Series II system is available with two handheld transmitter models - RaCon® II and Racon® II Plus. These handheld transmitters are ergonomically designed making them easy to use and carry. All operating elements are located on the front panel of the transmitter ensuring that each button is easily found and accessed.
Flexibility via Frequency Sharing Technology
Each RaCon® Series II system, which includes frequency-sharing technology based on high-level safety circuits and identification coding, is capable of sharing the same frequency without disturbing other nearby RaCon® Series II systems.
Plug-in microchip to minimize downtime
The RaCon® Series II system parameters are stored in an EEPROM microchip that is easily accessed and well protected inside the transmitter. The preset microchip can be easily changed over to the backup RaCon® Series II transmitter and it requires no additional setup of parameters.
Quick swap battery packs - longer operating times
The rechargeable battery packs last up to eight hours on one charge and can be replaced in seconds. To reach longer operating intervals, the transmitter reverts to a standby mode if the controller remains unused for more than four minutes. The standby mode is overridden by pressing the START button.
