Crane Safety
Collision Avoidance Unit
The sensor and reflector should never be disabled for any crane motion. If the unit is for any reason
disengaged or turned off the crane operating personnel must be notified immediately and proper alternate
operation precautions taken.
Operating the Crane with the ReFlx 45
The crane collision avoidance unit and limit switches, if any, should be checked at the beginning of each
shift or when a new operator takes control of the crane. When checking the collision avoidance unit and
limit switches the hoist should be centered over an area free of personnel and equipment.
The collision avoidance unit and limit switches should never be used as a regular, repetitive stopping
device. They are intended to be protective devices.
Cleaning Recommendations (Preventative Measures)
CAUTION
DO NOT WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR BEFORE PERFORMING PREVENTATIVE
MAINTENANCE. WIPE THE SENSOR AND REFLECTOR DOWN AT REGULAR INTERVALS TO
PREVENT DUST BUILD-UP THAT MAY INHIBIT THE SENSOR SIGNAL.
