This wireless remote control system is integral to the Harmony eXLhoist series, comprising a transmitter (ZART8L) and a receiver (ZARB12W). It enables wireless communication of commands and data between the operator and the machinery. The system supports three directional movements—hoist, bridge, and trolley—operating at two speeds: low and high.

The design of the remote facilitates intuitive one-handed operation, while the degree of protection is rated at IP 65 for both the base station and the wireless control device, ensuring durability in various environments. With a weight of 2.1 kg, it is suitable for material handling and hoisting tasks.

Compliance with safety standards is critical; the control station features multiple safety functions including a stop function rated SIL 2, an emergency stop function rated SIL 3, and motion control rated SIL 1, meeting international safety standards such as IEC 62061 and ISO 13849-1. It operates effectively within a range of 100 meters in free air, utilizing a 2.4 GHz transmission frequency via Bluetooth Low Energy.

Certifications include UL, CSA, and CE, ensuring reliability and adherence to safety regulations. The environmental resilience is noteworthy, with operation permissible in relative humidity levels from 0 to 95% and storage conditions between -20 to 45 °C.
