Cavotec Micro-control has always focu-sed on three key elements when makingadvanced Radio Remote Controls: reliabi-lity, safety and innovation. With over 20years of experience Cavotec Micro-con-trol has always ensured the highest levelof safety in its systems.

Our deliveries to high safety industrieslike the offshore oil industry show thatour systems fulfil the most stringentrequirements from our customers andthe market. This is why Cavotec Micro-control RRC’s have been certified by lea-ding institutes such as ATEX and IEC.

Cavotec Micro-control has developed itsRadio Remote Control systems in closeco-operation with the main operatorswithin the maritime and offshore sector.This ensures that when we design andbuild our systems, they are built to satisfyour customers needs and all formal requi-rements related to operational safety.

Improved safety through RRCThe use of wireless operator panelsimprove the integral safety of the com-plete system as the operator can place

himself in a designated safe area and ata safe distance from the machine or unitbeing controlled.

In applications such as offshore oil-dril-ling and mining it is often a necessity tobe placed away from heavy equipmentthat is being hoisted, moved or lifted. Atthe same time the operator can positionhimself to have an optimal view of theoperation, outside any dangerous area.

The use of wireless technology furtherenables the operator to move freely andto act quickly in any emergency situations.

In critical situations time is of the essenceand having the emergency stop at theterminal enables the operator to actquickly. By pressing the emergency stopbutton the operator can completely stopany operation within tenths of a second.

Safety built into the systemOur systems feature a number of safetymeasures that are built in as a standard.In particular the redundant monitoring ofthe Emergency Stop System and the useof both a main processor and an additio-nal safety processor, are worth mentio-

ning. These two processor systems areimplemented on totally different plat-forms using different design and softwa-re. This method is normally only used inmore complex systems, like for instancein control systems for aircrafts. Thismeans that one processor system failuredoes not affect the other.

Directives and StandardsThe Cavotec Micro-control radio remotecontrol systems have been developed,manufactured, tested and certified inaccordance with relevant internationaldirectives and standards. The radio con-trols conforms with EU R&TTE directiveEN 300 220 and EMC/ERM standards forShort Range Devices. Systems are manu-factured with Emergency Stop accordingto EN-954-1, Cat 2, 3 and 4.

Cavotec Microcontrol is certified as amanufacturer of equipment and systemsfor use in potentially explosive atmosphe-res, (ATEX) Directive 94/9/EC.

General InformationSafety in RRC systems

Cavotec Micro-control RRC's are among thesafest in the world. They are designed to beused in the most harsh working environmentswithout compromise on safety or reliability.

Radio Remote Controls for use in explosive areasMC-3000 Ex and MC-3-6 Ex

The MC-3000 Ex and MC-3-6 Ex radioremote controls provide a secure and fle-xible control of many different types ofmachinery. To a wide extent they featurethe same functionality as the "ordinary"RRC’s. One addition however is the pos-sibility to use a cable control. This provi-des an extra failsafe against shutdown ifa fault occurs in one if the other typesof communication.

Both systems can be delivered with sim-plex or duplex communication. Theduplex communication option allows theoperator to receive messages (alarmmessages, status indications etc.)through led’s, control display, indicatorinstruments, etc.

Additionally the base units can be deli-vered with a serial interface for the mostcommon bus standards on market today.On request, they can be deliveredwithout explosion proof and increasedsafety encapsulation if this is deemednot necessary. The battery used in theterminal is intrinsically safe. As a conse-quence the exchanging of the batterycan be done in an explosive area.

Typical applications for these radio remo-te controls are offshore oil and gasequipment, mining applications andmaritime cranes and winches.
