2. INCORRECT OPERATION
• Do not exceed the rated power capacity per controlled
channel.
• Do not lift stuck or jammed loads.
• Do not shortly and frequently actuate the up/down
switch.
• Do not control hoists if the movement of the load is not
visible from the operating position.
• Do not control hoists if you are skilled for lifting loads
• Do not use cables with damaged strain reliefs and/or
isolation.
• Do not use any input- or output cables that are not
suitable for the supplied voltage and / or current.
• Do not use the Thuja data connection (link in, link out)
with other network devices unless these devices are
specified to be suitable for use in the Thuja data
network.
• Do not connect the controller to a mains connection that
is not properly fused.
• Do not use the controller without proper grounding.
• Do not connect more then one hoist on a single
channel.
ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS
3.
All electric connections must be used with respect for the
specified voltages and maximum power consumption.
Power input:
The power input connector is a 5pin CEEform connector
suitable for 3 phase 32Amp / 400Volt. 3 Phases, neutral
and ground.
Depending on the type of controller it can be plugged in to
either a 3 phase 400V or a 3 phase 230V mains
connections.
Make sure the mains connection is fused at maximum
32Amps per phase. It is advised to use circuit breakers
with a C or D characteristic.
Make sure the mains connection is properly grounded.
Improper grousing might lead to dangerous with the risk
of electric shock.
Maximum power consumption per hoist.
Each hoist channel is capable of switching an electric
chain hoist with maximum power consumption of 1,5kW.
Power output to the hoists
For each 4 hoist channels there is a Harting 16 output
connector.
Make sure the cables (and each individual wire of the
cable) connected to the output connector are suitable for
minimum 10Amps at 400V per wire.
To avoid voltage drops longer cables should have bigger
wire diameters.
