1. Signs and symbols
In addition to the key symbols, further signs and symbols appear in the manual.
They have the following significance:
WARNING
Warning of a danger point!
This symbol is to be found next to jobs, which could result in danger to life and
limb of personnel.
Important:
The text following this sign describes activities which should be carried out
in the specified sequence.
The text after this sign describes the result of an operation
NOTE !
After the word “Note” you will find instructions and useful tips for optimum
operation of the control panel.

2. Safety regulations
WARNING
For reasons of safety:
Independent modifications to the HT 400 (RC) control panel are prohibited.
Repair and trouble-
shooting
Repair work, trouble-shooting and fault rectification may only be car-ried out by
qualified technicians (e.g. an electrician).
It is essential that the connecting cable is separated from the control-ler before
the control panel is opened.
Plug connections may only be plugged in when the machine is switched off.
NOTE !
Do not move Joystick when switching on HT 400 (RC).
WARNING
During operations the antenna (only HT 400 RC) is not to be screened by a
hand or any object!
Disposal
Defective devices which cannot be repaired must be disposed of in an envi-
ronmentally responsible way. Therefore separate the individual materials (plastic,
metal, electrics) and hand these over for recycling.
2.1. Safety Test
WARNING
For safety reasons, it is vital that the EMERGENCY STOP button on the
control panel is actuated at least once a week. It must be estab-lished
when pressing the EMERGENCY STOP button that the circuit has been
interrupted.
With the wireless variant, this EMERGENCY STOP button test needs to be
carried out at both the control panel and base station.

2.2. Battery Precautionary Steps
WARNING
The battery pack may explode and endanger life and limb of personel if not
properly handled!
Charging
Only charge this battery in the HT 400 RC or in a charger envisaged for this
purpose. This is to ensure that all charging parameters are kept and that optimum
efficiency is achieved.
Charging temperature: 0 - 45°C.
Discharging
Discharging temperature: Discharging in the .20 to 60°C range
Exhaustive discharge: Self-discharge can result in the cells discharging even when
the panel is switched off. This is why the battery needs to be regularly charged.
NOTE !
Battery capacity sinks to 80% after 350 to 400 charing/discharging cycles.
The battery is to be replaced after 500 charging/discharging cycles.
Storage
Storage temperature: Store at temperatures between .20 and 45°C. Ca-pacity
losses are noticeable given a lengthy period of storage at 60°C. Keep the battery
away from any flames !
Lengthy storage: The lower the state of charging the lower the reduction in
capacity. A lengthy period of storage is to be carried out at a 50% charge or at
around 3.7 V. Regularly re-charge the battery given storage in excess of one year.
Safety
Do not dismantle: Do not dismantle the battery pack. The battery pack is fitted with
safety cells. These cells not working properly could result in the battery leaking
and caustic liquids emerging. Furthermore the battery could overheat, ignite and
explode.
Do not short-circuit: Do not connect the positive (+) and negative (-) poles with a
conductive material. Do not transport or store the battery pack to-gether with
metal objects.
A short-circuit could result. This, in turn, might lead to overheating, electro-lyte
losses, smoke forming and to an explosion of the battery.
Keep away from flames: Keep the battery pack away from flames and do not ignite
it. The insulation could melt.
Safety cells could be destroyed, the electrolyte might ignite, the battery could leak,
overheat or explode.
Keep away from water: Do not submerge the battery or wet it. The safety cells
could be destroyed. The result could be unwanted chemical reactions. The battery
could leak, overheat or explode.

Do not drill through: Do not damage the battery pack with a nail or sharp object. Do
not drill through or hammer into it. The battery pack could be destroyed, could
leak, overheat and explode.
Not to be impacted or thrown: The safety cells could be destroyed. The result could
be unwanted chemical reactions. The battery could leak, over-heat or explode.
Not to be soldered on: The safety cells could be destroyed. The result could be
unwanted chemical reactions. The battery could leak, overheat and explode.

3. Technical description
3.1. Correct use
The HT 400 (RC) control panel can be connected to the controller of the following 3
coordinate measuring machines made by PANTEC ENGINEERING AG:
Measuring machines on air-bearings with motorised movement of the axes
(LH, LHF, LAF, LS systems)
Measuring machines on roller bearings with motorised movement of the
axes (RSplus, RSDplus, RAF, RAD etc.)
With the HT 400 (RC) control panel in conjunction with the 3-/4-axes WPC 20XX
contouring controller, the machine axes of a 3-coordinate measuring machine can
be manually translated (traversed). A joystick has been in-stalled for this purpose.
This permits the drives of the axes to be infinitely adjusted.
NOTE !
With a CNC measuring machine, the joystick controller and other HT 400
(RC) functions are blocked when an automatic CNC pro-gram is running.
In addition to controlling the axes, the control panel can also be used as a normal
PC mouse, with which you can for example operate the evaluation software,
providing this function has been activated in the PC.

3.3. Features and functions
In conjunction with the controller, the control panel has the following fea-tures and
functions:
Two operating modes:
oaxial control
omouse function (using the control panel as PC mouse for the applied
software)
Infinite adjustment of up to four axes with the aid of the joystick
Safety shutdown: If any axis has not been moved within a period of 30 secs,
the axial controller is automatically shut down.
EMERGENCY STOP button: is also functional when an automatic CNC
program is running
Adjustment/alteration of the traverse rate by the operator
The alignment of the control panel in respect to the measuring machine can
be adjusted depending on the operator’s position
Auto-switch-off: To save battery power system will switch off after 30 min of
inactivity (HT 400 RC).
LED for Joystick-mode
LED for CNC-mode
LED for battery charge control (HT 400 RC).
