Setting the direct access buttons

The four arrow buttons under the display can be allocated functions as direct access buttons in “Normal” operating mode (e.g. tare, super-precision lifting, etc.).

 

Menu item in the “Crane operation” menu

Symbol for the direct access button

These functions can then either be opened using the corresponding menu items in the “Crane operation” menu on the transmitter, or they can be called up with one of the direct access buttons. Using the direct access buttons, the functions can be opened quickly and easily in “Normal” operating mode without having to open the menu beforehand. This is useful for the most frequently used functions.

Seldom-used functions are best operated using the menu to allow the direct access buttons to remain free for the most frequently used functions.

A number of functions can only be operated using the direct access buttons and cannot be opened using menu items in the menu.

 

 

The allocation of the four direct access buttons appears at the lower edge of the display.

 

Meaning of the symbols

Warnung stürzende Last

Danger due to button assignment with two-hand operation!

If the functions for releasing the load in two-hand operation lie on two direct access buttons, it can happen that instead of just one, both buttons are directly pressed. The load could then be released unintentionally, killing or injuring people.

Do not use direct access buttons for functions with two-hand operation!

 

Warnung stürzende Last

Danger due to missing button labels!

The direct access buttons for the additional functions are labelled with “O1” to “O6” and cannot be individually labelled. Thus, other persons do not know which functions are controlled by these direct access buttons.

Carefully instruct crane operators!
