6  Circuit protection 

Each apexDRIVE uses Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB) to protect the power 
supply to the apexDRIVE control and the connected apexHOIST. 

Additionally fuses are provided to protect the electromagnetic brakes in the 
apexHOIST. 

WARNING!  

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO KEEP AN MCB POWERED ON BY HOLDING THE 

LEVER IN THE ON POSITION 

WARNING!

  

ALWAYS REPLACE FUSES WITH SAME TYPE AND RATING. SPARE FUSES 

ARE SUPPLIED IN THE ‘BRAKE’ FUSE CARRIER

Control ‘POWER SUPPLY’ MCB 

 

 

 

 

Figure 19 

Power MCB 

The 

POWER SUPPLY

 MCB is used to turn the apexDRIVE on and off.  With the 

MCB lever up the apexDRIVE is on, moving the MCB lever down will turn the 
apexDRIVE off. 

If the power MCB should trip in to the down position try to move the lever up to 
restore power.  If the MCB immediately trips again this indicates a fault. Switch 
over to an alternative apexDRIVE and contact your supplier or Kinesys for support.  

WARNING!  

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO KEEP AN MCB POWERED ON BY HOLDING THE 

LEVER IN THE ON POSITION
