MAINTENANCE SAFEGUARDS. Prior to performing any maintenance or service on the device, remove the load from all lift cylinders and unplug the motor controller from power source. The workstation or structure that the lift system is attached to should be stabilized to prevent personal injury or property damage during maintenance or service procedures.
4.0 How it Works ® Movotec Q-Drive Lift Systems are comprised of three major component subsystems; the motor drive, the pump, and the lift cylinders. This section will explain how each subsystem works together to make the lift system extend and retract. ®...
lift cylinders causing them to extend. The gear motor will automatically shut off once the programmed pump upper limit is reached. ® 4.2 Retraction Cycle (Refer to Movotec Q-Drive Schematic on page 7) When the motor switch “DN” arrow button is depressed, the 24VDC gear motor shaft begins to rotate in a (CW) clockwise direction.

• Insert end plugs into open ends of both foot brackets using soft-hammer, if necessary. • Align foot bracket with ATU bottom in the desired mounting configuration, cantilever or centered. Cantilever Configuration Centered Configuration • Fasten foot bracket to bottom of ATU using (2) 5/16”-18 thread forming screws. Please note that the function of the thread forming screw is to cut threads into the ATU as the screw is driven into the material.
Page 18
• Insert hole plug into unused mounting hole. • Repeat foot bracket installation procedure for second foot bracket. When fastening second foot bracket to ATU, make sure that tubing cutout is facing inwards in relation to the other ATU. Cantilever Configuration Shown P/N: 670-00029A 2/17/12...
7.4 Cross Beam Installation • Fasten cross beam bracket to cross beam using (2) #14-3/4 tapping screws. The tapping screws require a #3 Phillips drive style. Please note that the function of the tapping screw is to cut threads into the cross beam as the screw is driven into the material.
Page 20
• Position ATU legs as shown below. • Align and insert cross beam bracket hex nuts into ATU T-Slot. Repeat cross beam installation on second ATU. • Position cross beam assembly at desired mounting height. The recommended position is 400mm (15.7 in.) from the top of the ATU to the centerline of the cross beam.
• Fasten cross beam to ATU legs tightening the (4) flat head screws on the cross beam brackets. 7.5 Lift Cylinder & Top Bracket Installation Before installing the lift cylinders and top brackets, it is recommended that the pump be securely positioned in between the ATUs.

• Orient cylinder head so that tubing is aligned with ATU tubing cutout as shown. • Align top bracket with top of the ATU in the desired mounting configuration, cantilever or centered. Insert cylinder head into top bracket mounting hole as shown.
• Fasten top bracket to ATU using (2) 5/16”-18 thread forming screws. The function of the thread forming screw is to cut threads into the ATU as the screw is driven into the material. Cantilever Configuration Shown • Repeat top bracket installation procedure for second top bracket. 7.6 Work Surface Installation •...
® minimum hydraulic tubing bend radius of 2 in. (51mm) to be maintained. Suspa Incorporated offers a black thermoformed plastic motor cover to further protect the gear motor and cable connections from possible damage.
In addition, the motor controller should be placed so that it is ® in relatively close proximity to the gear motor. If this is not possible, Suspa Incorporated offers motor extension cables to make up the difference. These cables can be purchased on our website at http://movotec.com.
• Align the switch body with front edge of the work-surface. Mark and prepare two holes in the locations provided in the switch enclosure. • Using the appropriate screws, mount the switch to the work-surface taking special care not to over tighten the screws. While (2) mounting screws are included with the switch, ensure they will work for the particular application before using to mount switch.

• The switch plug has an arrow to indicate proper connection alignment. This arrow must face away from the work-surface and toward their corresponding connection port. To make the controller connections: • Connect the black motor cable plugs in to their respective (M1) and (M2) motor ports.
Take special care not to damage flexible tubing during this operation. • While it is recommended to coil up excess tubing when hydraulic tubing lengths ® are too long, the lines can be shortened. Contact Suspa Incorporated for detailed ®...

intermittently and is rated for a 10% duty cycle. This means that if the lift system activated for 1 minute, it must be at rest for at least 9 minutes before the next operation. It is also important to note that the maximum system on-time is 1 minute. The duty cycle has been established to prevent the gear motor and motor controller electronics from overheating.
3.) The system is behaving unusually. Although it is not very common, a power outage or brown-out condition can cause a motor controller to lose its programmed position. If this happens, the motor may move in one revolution increments in one or both directions. To remedy this problem, perform the system reset procedure below.
