Magnetic Limit Switch Set up
The Galaxy Cargo Lift includes Magnetic Limit Switches, wiring and the necessary mounting hardware. A three-stop
cargo lift will have three magnetic limit switch bags. Each bag contains one Wired and one Non-wired component. The
two Components comprise one Magnetic Limit Switch.
The magnetic limit switch is designed to stop the lift at a specific location when the two components are near one
another. There are no mechanical components, so once the magnetic limit switch is firmly attached in the desired
position there should be only minor adjustments required in the future.
The installation hardware includes six (6) pieces of two-sided tape. The tape should be used to temporarily attach the
Wired and Non-Wired Components to the cargo lift. This will allow the two Components to be easily removed and
relocated during the installation process before permanently attaching the Components with screws.
Please Read All Instructions carefully before starting the installation of the cargo lift.
Limit Switch Installation Procedure
1. Before installing the cargo lift basket to the vertical beams, use the two-sided tape to temporarily mount the
Non-wired Component of the Magnetic Limit Switch on the outside of one of the external backbones of the
cargo lift. Either of the two backbones is acceptable but note that the Wired Component of the Magnetic Limit
Switch will need to be mounted on the vertical beam corresponding to that backbone and you should consider
how the wire will be run from the vertical beam to the control box
. The Non-Wired component of the Magnetic
Limit Switch must be located within ½ inch of the furthest point to the back of the lift. That is extremely
important as it allows for a precise proximity point between the two components (wired and non-wired) of the
magnetic limit switch
.
2. Mount the cargo lift basket to the vertical beams and complete the installation of the head assembly, motor and
control box.
3. With the basket installation complete, lower the basket to the desired bottom position. Apply the two-sided
tape to the back of the mounting bracket (see figure 12), position the mounting bracket to the back of the
vertical beam (see figure 13), attach the Wired Component of the Magnetic Limit Switch to the bracket using the
included screws (see figure 14). The Wired Component should be located perpendicular to the Non-Wired
