    General information on these operating instructions These operating instructions serve as safety manual in the sense of the safety stand- ards for functional safety of the SLE 3 electronic control unit for the manufacturer's hoists. They are aimed at the manufacturers, operators, commissioning engineers and service personnel of hoists.
  • Page 6: Symbols

    General information Symbols The safety instructions in the manual are subdivided according to the severity of the hazard and the likelihood of it occurring. The measures described to avoid the hazards must be followed. DANGER This symbol warns of a direct danger to the health and life of people. Disregarding these warnings will lead to severe injuries, possibly also death.

    Commissioning / Operation / Documentation WARNING The SLE 3 only achieves its safety function when it has been programmed accordingly. The commissioning of a hoist must be documented. This documentation must also contain the overload cut-off point. The signature of the qualified person and the operator is needed after commissioning (section “Commissioning and testing”).

    WARNING Failure of one of the downstream power elements • Downstream power elements are not monitored by the SLE 3. • Failure is to be prevented by the designer of the control equipment by suitable choice. • In the event of failure the operator must have the power element replaced immediate- ly by a competent person.
  • Page 11: Product And Functional Description

    Product and functional description Description The SLE 3 is an electronic control unit for hoists. The device can be used to control pole- changing or frequency-controlled drives. It contains a safety-related overload cut-off for hoists in conjunction with a load sensor. It is a configurable system that only performs the overload protection function after parameterisation and storage of the safety-relevant parameter (overload cut-off point) in that the lifting movement is switched off safely.

    • If the signal voltage between the connections IN+ and IN- exceeds the cut-off thresh- old setting while the outputs K↓ and K↓↓ are active or when stationary, the SLE 3 detects "overload" after a time of 800 ms and blocks the outputs K↑ and K↑↑ until no overload is detected any more.
  • Page 15: Sensor Errors

    Actuation of S↕↕ is only recognised if the corresponding direction S↑ or S↓ is active at the same time. If S↑ or S↓ is actuated from idle state, the SLE 3 switches the respective safety output K↑ or K↓ after a maximum delay time of 300 ms.
  • Page 16: Relay Outputs

    Product and functional description 3.7.2 Relay outputs The relay outputs switch the voltage connected to L↑↓ through to the downstream actuators (e.g. contactor). The control voltage at L↑↓ must correspond to the power supply at L. The safety outputs K↑ and K↑↑ are actuated by a safe internal circuit according to Category 2 Performance Level d.

    The travel motor thermistor (PTC) is connected to input 2 (if two or more travel motors, for all). When a travel motor thermistor responds, the SLE 3 switches the relay outputs left/right off and reports this via the device LED (as warning) that the travel motor(s) can no longer be actuated.

    Product and functional description 3.7.6 Signaling relays CAUTION The signalling relays “err” and "option" are used to output error messages and may not be used for safety-relevant functions. The signalling relays may only be parameterised by an electrically skilled person. Both relays can be parameterised as normally-closed or normally-open contacts: Relay Normally-open...

    SLE 3 and that the components and units in- volved in the safety function work perfectly in interaction with the SLE 3. The type of use / attachment of the SLE 3 and the follow-up of the plant must also be tested. Acceptance test: overload cut-off: Lifting of a test load of 110 % of the maximum lifting capacity.
  • Page 22: Change To The Cut-Off Point

    • Get a test load of 110 % of the maximum lifting capacity ready. • Get a load weighing the maximum lifting capacity ready. • Carefully take off the front panel (device cover) of the SLE 3 with the help of a screwdriver and put in a safe place.

    Error and warning messages, faults Warning messages A warning detected and indicated by the device does not lead to any restrictions in the lifting movements. The warning is indicated by three LED indicators (flashing) on the front side. A warning can lead to impairment of the travel motion. Cause Correction Crane test mode is active.
