OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
UNIVERSAL DRIVE UA 500
1. General information
The universal drive UA 500 is approved for the safe rotation of heavy loads
(explicitly not persons) of up to 500 kg. One typical application is the drive of a
larger mirror ball or other objects. An integrated lamella torque clutch protects the
gear from overload and makes it possible to accelerate and decelerate large
masses without jolts. The drive is controlled manually or by a suitable DMX
Motor-Controller. The extremely robust design and the high-quality components
of the device guarantee a very high safety and longevity.

Summary of Contents for ARNOLD UA 500
- Page 1 UNIVERSAL DRIVE UA 500 1. General information The universal drive UA 500 is approved for the safe rotation of heavy loads (explicitly not persons) of up to 500 kg. One typical application is the drive of a larger mirror ball or other objects. An integrated lamella torque clutch protects the gear from overload and makes it possible to accelerate and decelerate large masses without jolts.
- Page 2 WLL (Working Load Limit) of 750 kg with regard to a working coefficient of 10 is part of the scope of supply of the UA 500. Smaller fastening elements can also be used in compliance with the dimensioning regulations according to DGUV directive 17.
- Page 3 Please observe the instructions for the permitted installation position and load limits of the UA 500. For the protection of the gear unit and due to reasons of the safety at work (prevention of the risk of crushing), a torque clutch with a nominal torque of 1.3 Nm is integrated, which allows a soft acceleration and deceleration of corresponding heavy loads.
- Page 4 “Major Saveking” is recommended. The universal drive UA 500 is a product designed for the application on stages, which is designed corresponding to the state-of-the-art in a way that risks can be largely excluded.
- Page 5 Please send the drive to the company ARNOLD Lichttechnik for a more thorough inspection, if there are visible damages that suggest a limitation of the operating safety (e.g. after a crash of the drive).
- Page 6 5. Permitted installation position 500 Kg The universal drive UA 500 is exclusively approved for the hanging / vertical operating mode displayed in the graphics. Off-center loads or the standing operation are not permitted. 6. Direction of rotation The UA 500 is driven by a direct current gear motor and can, thus, be easily controlled in its direction of rotation and its speed.
