Applications
The SCANRECO RC 400 is a complete remote control system for the proportional control of truck/loader cranes. Thousands of loader cranes with RC 400 are in use each day almost all over the world. RC 400 offers the driver a remote control system which is extremely easy to use with speed, precision and control under maximum safety.

Technical characteristics
Each radio system operates under all operations with its own unique identity code (ID-code). For maximum safety the receiver has double processors to enable comparison and checking of the data signals from the control unit. The receiver on the crane operates with a so called automatic emergency stop, which means that the dumpvalve and all crane movements are only activated as long as verified data signals are received from the control unit.
The remote control system fulfils EC's Machine and EMC directive, is fully approved and complies with the European special demands for "Remote controlled lifting devices" and for Occupational Safety and Health direction in accordance with: EN954, prEN280, 89/392/EEC, 89/336/EEC, EN50081-2, EN50082-2, I-ETS 300 683, I-ETS 300 220, prEN12077-1 and prEN12999 e.t.c.

The Remote Control System is comprised of the following components:
  • Portable Control Unit (for cable or radio control).
  • Electronicbox with max. 8 × valve amplifiers for AMCA valves.
  • Crane Emergency Stop Box
  • Expansion cable (EX)
    • Cable operation: Control Cable (3-core)
    • Radio operation: Radio Transmitter, 2 pieces of Battery Packs, Battery Charger and Radio Receiver Box.


Technical Features
  • Connection for electro-hydraulic valves - AMCA valves, such as: MEV and MFC series.
  • Standard connection for Dump valve, such as: 2/2 way Solenoid Cartridge.
  • Maximal Safety by using own unique identity code (ID-code) and standard with Crane Emergency Stop.
  • Maximal 8 proportional functions and 10 on/off functions.
  • Possibility to choose manoeuvre-levers or joysticks (X-as, Y-as, X/Y-as, X/Y/Z-as) control.
  • Radio control or/and Cable (the Control Cable is standard by Radio control.)
  • Display or/and LED's for indicating system (load, pressure, status, alarm, temperature, etc.) optional
  • 8-10 Hours battery effective operation, power-status indicated by Portable Control Unit.
  • Battery recharged by Battery Charger or Control Cable.
  • Reduction of speed in 5 steps (Micro operation), e.g.: from 100% to 60%, 50%, 40%, 30% and 20%.
  • 12 Radio channels available for frequency automatically shifting.
  • Easy to reset directions, speeds and ramps individually for each function by using Portable Control Unit.
  • Parallel running of two or more electro-hydraulic valves at the same time from one manoeuvre-lever or joystick.
  • Speed-hold-function (cruise control), maximal 1 lever or joystick, or maximal 2 potentiometers.
  • Standard IP 65 protected, IP 67 optional
  • Self-test components-fault Portable Control Unit.
  • Electronicbox LED's indicating operating status, and during trouble shooting indicating error source from system.
  • Maximal 48 Electronicboxes in the serial optional.
  • Standard CANbus interface.
  • Circular type contact (Amphenol/Hirschmann).
