The remote control is equipped with two joysticks to operate all hydraulic functions. A function selector switch allows selection of stabiliser legs, crane arms, and for units with crane traverse function, crane traverse. This allows joystick signals to be transmitted via relays in the main junction box directed to the Danfoss control valves via the crane mounted junction boxes. The joysticks also incorporate micro switches that independently signal the dump solenoid relay and the "PVEM power relay" (powers up the Danfoss control valve coils). There are more details on how to use the remote control to operate the cranes in the section Crane Operations.
Also mounted in the remote control is a two-position switch for "High Speed" and "Low Speed" selection. When "High Speed" is selected, two relays in the main junction box are activated, one to direct joystick signals to the Danfoss control valve coils, the other to activate the "High speed load sensed unloader valve" solenoid coils. When "Low Speed" is selected these unloader valve relays are de-energised. An emergency stop button is fitted to the remote control to shut down all systems in an emergency.
