Installation and Wiring Installation Precautions Do not expose the unit to cold blasts of air that might cause condensation (e.g., from an air conditioner). Do not expose the unit to cleaning solvents that will penetrate and damage the unit's enclosure. Do not use cable that is split or cracked.
Enclosure disassembly 1. Remove the back cover by loosening the cover screws. 2. Remove the top cover by loosening its two screws. This makes feeding the cable through the top cable entry gland easier. Wiring NOTE: Ensure that only type SOW cable is used for the pendant. NOTE: Use copper conductors only for terminal wiring.
10. The SBN pendant is double insulated. No metal part extends from inside of the enclosure to the outside. Because of this, grounding inside the pendant is not necessary. However, because of the possibility that water could enter the pendant through damaged parts or cable, it is recommended that a ground wire be left extending to the bottom.
5. Pull the auxiliary cable armor down to cover the cable and cable gland area. Wrap the auxiliary cable armor with self-fusing electrical tape (non-adhesive) to press the flexible auxiliary cable armor against the cable and cable gland. Overwrap the self-fusing tape with vinyl adhesive electrical tape to protect the area.
Figure 4: Strain Relief Installation When Using Non-Strain Relief Round Cable Lens and Legend Replacement Using a small screwdriver, pry the lens out of the button hood by inserting the blade between the lip of the hood and the lens. Be careful not to damage the button hood. Remove the legend and replace with the selected word or symbol from the legend sheet.
Operation General Do not place or drop the pendant in water. Do not let the pendant slam into objects or people. Do not move switches beyond their travel limits. Regular Pre-Operation Inspection – Perform at least monthly Before using a pendant station: Ensure that the unit’s exterior is in good condition with no cracks or sharp edges.
Safe Crane Operating Procedures How to operate a crane is beyond the scope of this manual, but a few precautions include: Before picking up a load or making a move, ensure that the path of motion for the operator and the load is clear.
