How is the tilt test for the RCT completed?

The tilt test for the Remote Control Operator (RCT) is performed by tilting the device at a 45-degree angle until an alarm sounds, which indicates that the equipment has reached a critical angle concerning its operational safety. This angle is significant as it helps to assess the stability and performance of the RCT under conditions that may mimic real-world scenarios during operation. By using the 45-degree angle as the standard, operators can effectively verify that the remote control system can function correctly while maintaining control and safety.

Other angles, such as 30 degrees or 60 degrees, do not serve the same regulatory purpose as established by industry standards. Tilting at these angles may not provide a comprehensive evaluation of the system's capacity to handle extreme operational conditions. In addition, tilting until the RCT reaches maximum height does not accurately measure its stability or performance, as the test is designed to assess response to tilt rather than height.
