  • Wireless crane remote control | 4 buttons + START/STOP | 1 speed | 868 MHz | 12–440 V AC/DC | IP65 | ES-F21-4SE

    Code: ES-F21-4SE

    4-button YDBJ radio remote for hoist and trolley (or bridge) with START and STOP. 868 MHz, 12–440 V AC/DC receiver – also for 12/24 V DC circuits, up to ~250 m, IP65.

  • ES-F21-4SE wireless 4-button crane remote – 868 MHz, 12–440 V AC/DC

    ES-F21-4SE is a radio control set (transmitter + receiver) for hoists and cranes that need lifting plus one horizontal axis – trolley or bridge. When a button is pressed, the transmitter sends the command over 868 MHz, a receiver relay energises the corresponding contactor coil, and the contactor switches the motor.

    Key point:
    Four direction buttons control lifting and one horizontal motion – the typical setup of a hoist with an electric trolley – with a range of up to ~250 m in open space. The receiver comes in versions across 12–440 V AC/DC – suitable for 230/400 V AC contactor circuits as well as 12/24 V DC control.

    How it works

    The receiver is mounted on the crane or hoist and powered from the control circuit – the version chosen within 12–440 V AC/DC must match the contactor coil voltage. Receiver outputs are wired into the direction contactor coils and the main contactor (KM0) circuit; limit switches (SQ) and NC interlocking of opposite directions remain in the circuit.

    START switches on the receiver and KM0, STOP switches it off and stops all motions. Direction buttons work only while held. On loss of radio link the receiver must drop its outputs and stop the crane (EN 60204-32) – this is checked at commissioning.

    The operator stands where the load is best seen – up to ~250 m in open space.

    Why choose ES-F21-4SE?
    One model fits both a fixed crane with 230/400 V AC control and 12/24 V DC equipment – you only order the matching receiver version. The transmitter runs on 2 × AA batteries and the receiver leads have U-type lugs – easy to connect to terminals.

    Main functions

    • 4 direction buttons – lifting plus one horizontal axis – trolley or bridge
    • START and STOP – switch the main contactor KM0 on and off
    • 868 MHz radio – EU SRD band for short-range control
    • 12–440 V AC/DC receiver – fits both 12/24 V DC and 230/400 V AC control circuits
    • Up to ~250 m – the operator picks a safe position in open space
    • IP65 receiver – suitable for dusty and damp locations

    How does it differ from similar models?

    • ES-F21-4S+ – extra twist-release mushroom STOP on the transmitter, receiver 24–440 V AC/DC
    • ES-F21-2SE – 2 direction buttons, up to ~150 m
    • ES-F21-E1B(H) – 6 direction buttons, receiver 24–440 V AC/DC, up to ~150 m
    • ES-ML-K4 – 4 direction buttons, receiver 230 V AC, IP66

    Where is it used?

    • Hoists with an electric trolley
    • Suspended and jib cranes
    • Winches with two motions
    • Replacing a 4-button pendant with a radio remote
    • Lifting equipment in warehouses and production halls
    • Vehicle-mounted winches and lifts with 12/24 V DC control

    Use by need

    For the electrician
    The control scheme stays the same – receiver outputs replace the pendant buttons in the contactor coil circuit, and the receiver version within 12–440 V AC/DC is chosen to match the coils.
    For a manufacturing plant
    The operator works at a safe distance from the load, with no cable to snag or break.
    For a construction site / warehouse yard
    The IP65 receiver and handheld transmitter suit work in dust and damp, with a range of up to ~250 m in open space.

    Practical use

    If a hoist with an electric trolley is controlled by 24 V DC coils, order the 24 V DC receiver version, connect UP/DOWN to the hoist and EAST/WEST to the trolley contactor circuits through the limit switches and NC interlocks, and STOP to KM0. At commissioning, check that STOP and loss of radio link stop both motions.

    Pros

    • 4 direction buttons – hoist and trolley (or bridge)
    • 868 MHz – EU SRD band
    • 12–440 V AC/DC receiver – version to match the control circuit
    • Up to ~250 m in open space
    • IP65 receiver housing

    Cons / limitations

    • 1 speed only – for a 2-speed motor choose ES-21-4D
    • For an overhead crane with three motions choose ES-F21-E1B(H) – 6 direction buttons
    • Standard STOP button on the transmitter; the twist-release mushroom STOP comes with ES-F21-4S+
    • Relays switch contactor coils only – the motor must not be connected directly to the receiver

    Safety and installation notes

    • Receiver relays switch contactor coils only – do not connect the motor directly to the receiver.
    • The receiver supply version (within 12–440 V AC/DC) must match the control circuit voltage.
    • The STOP / MAIN output drops out the main contactor KM0; on loss of radio link the crane must stop (EN 60204-32) – verify at commissioning.
    • Limit switches (SQ) and NC interlocking of opposite directions stay in the circuit – the radio remote does not replace them.
    • Before installation or repair, switch off the main isolator and lock it out (LOTO).

    868 MHz
    12–440 V AC/DC
    up to ~250 m

    Check before ordering:

    • When ordering, state the contactor coil voltage – the receiver version is chosen within 12–440 V AC/DC.
    • 868 MHz is an EU SRD band; if the remote will be used outside the EU, check that the frequency is permitted in your country.
    • Count the motions you need: 4 buttons = 2 motions, 1 speed; for more directions or 2 speeds choose another model from the group.

    FAQ

    Can the motor be connected directly to the receiver?
    No. Receiver relays are for the control circuit – they switch contactor coils, and the contactors switch the motor.
    Which receiver version should I order?
    The one matching your contactor coil voltage: the receiver is available within 12–440 V AC/DC, including 12 V and 24 V DC.
    What happens if the radio link is lost?
    The receiver drops its outputs and the main contactor KM0 releases – the crane stops. This must be verified at commissioning.
    Is there a version with a mushroom STOP on the transmitter?
    Yes – ES-F21-4S+: the same 4 direction buttons plus a twist-release mushroom STOP on top of the transmitter, receiver 24–440 V AC/DC.
    What is the operating range?
    Up to ~250 m in open space. Steel structures and walls reduce the range.
    Is it suitable for a 2-speed motor?
    No – this is a 1-speed remote. For two speeds with two-step buttons choose ES-21-4D.

    ES-F21-4SE: 4 buttons, 868 MHz
