STEP 6 - ELECTRICAL POWER CONNECTION
STANDARD
6.1
Prior to final wiring, inspect the entire system to ensure that all connections are seated properly
and are without kinks or bends. Verify the following connections:
a) Coil cord to handle or G360™ collector
b) Coil cord to actuator assembly
c) Extension cables (if included)
6.2
Connect a 220 VAC single-phase power source through a disconnect switch (by others) to the
festooned power cabling (not provided with G-Force®).
6.3
Wire the female receptacle (provided) to the end of the festooned power cable.
6.4
After verifying the disconnect switch is turned
OFF
, connect the newly installed receptacle to the
male plug at the G-Force®.
STEP 7 - INITIAL POWER-UP
7.1
Turn on the disconnect switch (by others) to apply power to the G-Force®. When power is
detected, “POWER ON” is displayed on the LCD.
7.2
Disengage the emergency stop (E-stop) button located on the front face of the handle.
7.3
During the system power up the LCD at the handle will display “UNIT POWER-UP”. If you are
using a Force Sensing Handle, after power is applied to the system and the unit has booted, fault
11009 will usually be displayed indicating that the handle needs to be tared. See page 30 for
taring procedure.
7.4
Once the system is on-line and ready, “LIFT READY” will be displayed on the LCD.
7.5
• Standard Operation - Slide Handle Configuration:
Grasp the handle grip to run the unit up
and down. Do this several times to get a feel for the unit. The LCD displays RUN MODE
HANDLE.
• Standard Operation - Pendant Handle Configuration:
Depress the up and down levers to
run the unit up and down. Do this several times to get a feel for the unit. The LCD displays
RUN MODE PENDANT.
Note:
The LCD backlight will shut off after 10 minutes of inactivity.
See the Lift Functionality section on page 21 for complete details on handle operation.
7.6
Finally, test the operation of any special tooling that may have been integrated to the G-Force®.
TIP:
Do not connect main power until all assembly is complete.
WARNING
If your system displays drive faults 7219 and 4005 either when it powers on or when you attempt to lift
or lower a load it means the AC power is too low. Even though the specification is 220 VAC +/- 10%,
the power available at the system may be very close to the low end of the specification because of its
proximity to the power source. The closer to the nominal 220 VAC you are supplying to the system the
less likely you’ll experience any problems related to the AC voltage.
TIP:
The operator should always keep their hand under the operator present sensor on the
slide handle while operating the unit in standard mode. If the hand is frequently moved
away from the operator present sensor it will result in jerky movement from the unit.
TIP:
Gorbel, Inc., does not provide integrated tooling for the G-Force®. All tooling related
questions should be directed to the tooling manufacturer or supplier.
