1.0 Installation Instructions:
1. The F21 and F24 receivers should be mounted in a location that is convenient to the control
box and is securely attached to the equipment. The F21 receiver measures 7.37” L x 3.37” W
x 7.10” D and is mounted by drilling one 5/16” (8mm) hole and the F24 receiver measures 10”
L x 6.5” W x 4.5” D and is mounted by drilling three ¼” (6mm) holes (see diagrams below).
Mount the receiver using the supplied hardware. It is best to keep the receiver as far away
(approximately 6 feet) from variable frequency drives and the motors and cables attached to
them to avoid interference.

2. The F21 receiver wires are color coded, and the F24 receiver wires are numbered. The wires
are identified on the label on the top of the receiver and on the wiring diagrams on page 15 of
this manual.
3. All the contacts in the receiver are “dry” relay contacts. This means that is there is no internal
source of power to the contacts. You will need to connect the “common” lead for each output
or set of outputs that you plan to use to the same power supply that it would be connected to in
a corded pendant. For most cranes this wire is X1 (the 120 volt AC control transformer “hot”
side). Some cranes have separate hoist/trolley and bridge transformers. In these cases,
connect each transformer’s X1 to the function(s) it powers. There is no requirement that the
common leads be connected to a 120 volt AC supply- these are “dry” relay contacts; whatever
you put into the common wire, comes out each function’s wire when that relay closes. The
only restrictions are, do not exceed 10 amps or 250 volts AC. For DC applications call the
factory at 1-800-382-3558.

4. Put 2 AA alkaline batteries into each transmitter. For F21-2 button models, remove the 4
screws on the back of the transmitter. Insert the batteries as indicated inside the unit. Replace
the screws. For the F21-4, F21-6, F24-6, F24-8, and F24-10 button units, remove the battery
compartment cover on the bottom of the unit by unscrewing the thumb-screw. Insert the
batteries as indicated on the label inside the battery compartment. Replace the cover and
tighten the thumb-screw until the cover is fully seated against the transmitter body.
5. Test the system thoroughly before releasing it for use.
2.0 Operation Instructions:
2.1 Battery Indicator:
The LED on the front of the transmitter indicates the condition of the batteries. It will
flash green during operation if the battery power is sufficient, and will flash red if the battery
power is low. If the LED is flashing red, or if the operation becomes erratic, or will only
work from a short distance, replace both batteries with new AA alkaline batteries using the
procedure given in section 1.0.
2.2 Fuses
There are three fuses in the F21 series receivers and six fuses in the F24 series receivers.
On all models there is one fuse in the AC power line that operates the receiver (0.5A, 250V),
and one is in the internal 12 volt DC supply (1.5A, 250V). In the F21 receivers there is one
fuse in the COM wire. On the F24 series radios there are four fuses in the COM wires (10A,
250V). These fuses are for relay contact protection in the event of a short circuit in the
equipment being controlled by the radio. To replace a fuse, push down the fuse cover and
turn counter-clockwise ¼ turn with thumb and forefinger or a flat-blade screwdriver.
Remove the fuse from the cover and insert a new one of the same rating. Insert the fuse and
cover into the fuse holder, press down, and turn clockwise ¼ turn. For protection from fire
hazard, damage, or injury, always replace a blown fuse with one of the same rating.
2.3 Start Procedure for the F21-2S and F21-2D:
1. Put the green magnetic safety key into its slot in the front of the transmitter.
2. Use the UP and DOWN pushbuttons to control the equipment. The first time that either
button is pressed, the mainline contactor will engage. If there is no mainline contactor
provided on the equipment being controlled by the radio, the Main (red) wire does not
need to be connected to any of the equipment controls. The model F21-2D has two-step
buttons; pressing them to the first detent will activate the equipment at the slow speed,
and pressing them fully will activate the equipment at the fast speed.

3. Press the STOP button to stop movement immediately and drop out the mainline
contactor, if one is used.
4. Remove the green magnetic safety key whenever the transmitter is not in use to prevent
unintentional operation.
2.4 Start Procedures for the F21-4S, F21-4D, F21-6S:
1. If the red STOP knob is pushed in, turn it clockwise about 45 degrees to reset it and allow
it to pop up. This knob must be in the up position in order to operate the transmitter.
2. Put the green key into its slot in the front of the transmitter, next to the red STOP knob.
3. Turn the green key clockwise. The green key must go past the ON position detent, to the
START position. Then release it and it will spring back to the ON position.
4. Use the pushbuttons to control the equipment. The model F21-4D uses two-step
pushbuttons; pressing them to the first detent will activate the equipment at the slow
speed, and pressing them fully will activate the equipment at the fast speed.
5. Press the red STOP knob or turn the green key to OFF to stop movement immediately
and drop out the mainline contactor.
6. Turn the green key to OFF and remove it whenever the transmitter is not in use to prevent
unintentional operation.
7. The F21-4 and F21-6 models have an extra relay in the receiver, labeled R0. Turning the
green key to START after the equipment has already been started will close this relay.
This relay will not engage the first time the key is turned to START when starting up the
equipment. See section 5.3 for detailed information on this option.
2.5 Start Procedures for all F24 Models
1. If the red STOP knob is pushed in, turn it clockwise about 45 degrees to reset it and allow
it to pop up. This knob must be in the up position in order to operate the transmitter.
2. Put the green key into its slot in the front of the transmitter, next to the red STOP knob.
3. Turn the green key clockwise to the ON position, then press the green (START)
pushbutton. This will engage the mainline contactor, if one is used.
4. Use the pushbuttons to control the equipment. Models F24-6D, F24-8D, and F24-10D
use two-step pushbuttons; pressing them to the first detent will activate the equipment at
the slow speed, and pressing them fully will activate the equipment at the fast speed.
5. Press the red STOP knob or turn the green key to OFF to stop movement immediately
and drop out the mainline contactor.
6. Turn the green key to OFF and remove it whenever the transmitter is not in use to prevent
unintentional operation.

- The receiver must be securely attached and located where it will not be hit by any
moving part of the building, crane, or load.
- The crane or hoist must be equipped with limit switches for each motion and a
main power contactor that cuts off all power to the motors of the crane when it is
de-energized.
- Special care must be taken for magnets and other load-carrying devices to ensure
that if the crane is de-energized the load remains supported.
- The receiver must be located so that it receives sufficient signal strength from the
transmitter.
- Operating any piece of equipment in an industrial facility can be dangerous
therefore; adequate training will need to be provided to operators of cranes or
other equipment that uses a TELECRANE product.
- At least once each shift, check the amount of power remaining in the transmitter
batteries. If it is low, change both batteries before beginning operation.
Operating the unit with excessively discharged batteries can be unsafe.
- The safety key should be removed from the transmitter whenever it is not in use
and should only be issued to authorized personnel.
- All TELECRANE Radio Remote Controls are tested before they leave the
factory. However, they should not be used in dangerous situations or in a manner
such that damage might result.
- Although the transmitter is very durable and weather-resistant, precautions should
always be taken to limit its exposure to weather, physical impact, and corrosives.
- After use, or if the unit will not be used for a long interval, turn off power to the
crane or equipment and remove the safety key from the transmitter.
- Remove the batteries from the transmitter if the transmitter will not be used for
two weeks or longer.
- Transmitters that are not in use, including spare transmitters, should be stored,
with batteries removed, and secured to prevent accidental operation.
- Before each shift, check that the limit switches function correctly and that
movement corresponds to the button being pressed on the transmitter.
- Do not use the equipment during lightning storms or high electrical interference
conditions.
- In general only authorized service facilities should perform maintenance on this
product.
- Ensure that anyone performing maintenance on the unit is thoroughly familiar
with its operation.
