The crane pendant for the main hoist was upgraded to a FLEX EX2 style pendant by Canco Cranes. The installation work was performed by Matt at Canco, supervised by Tom Kauss, David Wang, and Adam Newsome. Installation work was performed in two phases since the initial installation did not provide adequate range and an antenna issue needed to be resolved (I2021-01-14-1, and I2021-02-16-1).

Items installed include:

• New pendant
• New antennae
• New receiver box, mounted on main crane control panel in the crane control room

The old receiver control box will be kept for some time in case there is a need to revert to the previous system for some reason.

The new system was tested by David Wang - including using the pendant at the far end of the target hall where range was previously an issue. Everything is reported to be in working condition. Remote mode is functioning as expected.
