Central service enclosure

Fig. 11
All important service work can be carried out at a central point, the service enclosure. The relevant connectors for
power supply, control pendant and travel drive are arranged under the impact-resistant plastic cover. The chain is
also lubricated from this point.
In addition, any control cable length that is not required is kept under the cover.
The plastic cover also provides mechanical protection for the components fitted under it. The functions are indica‐
ted by pictograms fitted on the outside of the service cover.

Control pendant/control cable height adjustment

The control cable is protected by a flexible, easily bent strain relief hose. Its suspension height can be specifically
adapted to the requirements at the workplace at any time by means of an adjusting mechanism. To do this, it is
not necessary to cut the cable conductors or to shorten the strain relief hose. The length of control cable that is
not needed is stored under the service cover. The strain relief hose is fixed at the selected suspension height by
means of a self-locking clamp mechanism. The control pendant can be adjusted to a different suspension height
by unlocking the clamp mechanism.
The strain relief hose for the control pendant consists of an abrasion-resistant fabric hose with flame-protection
impregnation.
The control cable is reinforced by means of elastic rubber filler material in the gripping area (0,8) of the strain
relief hose.

Control pendant

DSC control pendants (lifting/lowering) or DSE-10C control pendants (2 to 3 axes) must be used for manual ca‐
ble-connected control of the chain hoist. Both control pendants feature the same plug-in connection for the control
cable. The control cable and the control pendant are connected by means of a bayonet lock.
The shock and impact-resistant DSC and DSE-10C housings are of made high-quality thermoplastic and are re‐
sistant to fuels, salt water, greases, oils and alcaline solutions; IP65 enclosure. Strong mineral (e.g. hydrochloric
or sulphuric) acids may, however, corrode pendant switch housings. To avoid this, they must be replaced in good
time.
The rubber button caps may be subject to premature wear under aggressive operating conditions (contact with
corrosive substances or special chemicals). Replace any damaged button caps in good time.
