1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Attention
: All users must read these operating
instructions carefully prior to the initial operation. These
instructions are intended to acquaint the user with the
hoist controller and enable him/her to use it to the full
extent of its intended capabilities.
The operating instructions contain important information
on how to handle the hoist controller in a safe, correct and
economic way. Acting in accordance with these
instructions helps to avoid dangers, reduce repair costs
and downtime and to increase the reliability and lifetime of
the hoist controller.
Anyone involved in doing any of the following work with
the hoist controller must read the operating instructions
and act accordingly:
• Operation, including preparation, trouble shooting and
cleaning
• Maintenance, inspection, repair
• Transport
Apart from the operating instructions and the accident
prevention act valid for the respective country and area
where the hoist controller is used, also the commonly
accepted regulations for safe and professional work must
be adhered to.
The user is responsible for the proper and professional
instruction of the operating personnel.
Suitable for entertainment use
The
PRO
LYFT AETOS hoist controllers are specially
designed for use in the Entertainment industry. They must
only control electric chain hoists that are suitable for use
in the Entertainment industry.
Combining the hoist controller with different type of
electric chain hoists might lead to unwanted, unexpected
or dangerous situations.
The
PRO
LYFT AETOS hoist controllers are not designed
to control hoists suspending or lifting loads above people.
Read the manual of the electric chain hoists before
starting to operate them with the hoist controller.
Regulations
The accident prevention act and/or safety regulations of
the respective country for using manual and electric chain
hoists must be strictly adhered:
• Europe:
• Machine Directive 2006/42/EG
• Safety of Machinery NEN 12100:2010
• Germany: BGV D6, BGV D8
Additional regulations are in effect for lifting or suspending
loads over people.
Germany: SQ P2
The Netherlands: NPR8020-10
United Kingd
om: BS7950-1
Maintenance/Repair
In order to ensure correct operation, not only the
operating instructions, but also the conditions for
inspection and maintenance must be complied with. If
defects are found or abnormal noise is to be heard stop
using the hoist controller immediately.
Attention:
Before starting to work on electrical
components the power-supply is to be cut off.
2. INCORRECT OPERATION
•
Do not
exceed the rated power capacity per controlled
channel.
•
Do not
lift stuck or jammed loads.
•
Do not
shortly and frequently actuate the up/down
switch.
• Do not
control hoists if the movement of the load is not
visible from the operating position.
• Do not
control hoists if you are skilled for lifting loads
• Do not
use cables with damaged strain reliefs and/or
isolation.
• Do not
use any input- or output cables that are not
suitable for the supplied voltage and / or current.
• Do not
use the Thuja data connection (link in, link out)
with other network devices unless these devices are
specified to be suitable for use in the Thuja data
network.
• Do not
connect the controller to a mains connection that
is not properly fused.
• Do not
use the controller without proper grounding.
• Do not
connect more then one hoist on a single
channel.
3. ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS
All electric connections must be used with respect for the
specified voltages and maximum power consumption.
Power input:
The power input connector is a 5pin CEEform connector
suitable for 3 phase 32Amp / 400Volt. 3 Phases, neutral
and ground.
Depending on the type of controller it can be plugged in to
either a 3 phase 400V or a 3 phase 230V mains
connections.
Make sure the mains connection is fused at maximum
32Amps per phase. It is advised to use circuit breakers
with a C or D characteristic.
Make sure the mains connection is properly grounded.
Improper grousing might lead to dangerous with the
risk
of electric shock.
Maximum power consumption per hoist.
Each hoist channel is capable of switching an electric
chain hoist with maximum power consumption of 1,5kW.
Power output to the hoists
For each 4 hoist channels there is a Harting 16 output
connector.
Make sure the cables (and each individual wire of the
cable) connected to the output connector are suitable for
minimum 10Amps at 400V per wire.
To avoid voltage drops longer cables should have bigger
wire diameters.

Danger zones
•
Do not
allow people to pass under a suspended load (see Fig. 2).
•
After lifting or tensioning, a load must not be left unattended for a longer
period of time.
•
Start moving the load only after it has been attached correctly and all
people are clear of the danger zone.
Suitable for entertainment use
The ProLyft electric chain hoist series AETOS are specially designed for use
in the Entertainment industry. The hoists are standard configured for
motor
down
use. The multilayer disentangle plate will guide the chain to get in and
out of the hoist and reduce the risk of blocking. The chain bag bracket is
designed to guide the chain in to the chain bag properly.
When the hoist is used in a
motor up
situation the chain bag bracket will
swivel to the right position without any adaptations. We recommend to rotate
the covers with handgrips 180 degrees when the hoists are used
motor up
.
Lifting or suspending loads above people
The ProLyft electric chain hoist series AETOS has been designed for use in
the Entertainment Industry. In the Entertainment Industry loads are often
suspended or lifted over people.
The lifting capacity as printed on the nameplate of the AETOS hoists is for
those situations where the load is not lifted or suspended above people. See
chapter 10 of this manual for an explanation of the extra measures needed
when lifting or suspending above people.
Attaching the hoist
The operator must ensure that the hoist is attached in a manner that does not
expose himself or other people to any danger caused by the hoist, the chain(s)
or the load.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Attention: All users must read these operating instructions carefully prior
to the initial operation. These instructions are intended to acquaint the
user with the hoist and enable him/her to use it to the full extent of its

Anyone involved in doing any of the following work with the hoist must read
the operating instructions and act accordingly:
•
Operation, including preparation, trouble shooting and cleaning.
•
Maintenance, inspection, repair.
• Transport.
Apart from the operating instructions and the accident prevention act valid for
the respective country and area where the hoist is used, also the commonly
accepted regulations for safe and professional work must be adhered to.
The user is responsible for the proper and professional instruction of the
operating personnel.
Every unit leaving the factory is furnished with a test certificate that shows
the serial number of the hoist. This certificate has to be filed together with the
inspection manual.
The continuous sound level at the place of work is equal to <70 dB. The
measures were taken at a distance of 1 m from the hoist at 9 positions in
accordance with DIN 45635, precision class 2.
2. CORRECT OPERATION
Lifting capacity
The ProLyft electric chain hoist series AETOS has been designed to lift and
lower loads up to the rated capacity. The lifting capacity indicated on the hoist
is the maximum safe working load which must not be exceeded.

to danger by the hoist, the chain(s) or the load.
Temperature range
The units can be operated in ambient temperatures
between -10°C and +40° C. Consult the manufacturer in
case of extreme working conditions.
Attention:
At ambient temperatures below 0°C check
the brake is not frozen.
Protection against rain and humidity
The AETOS hoists have a protection class of IP55. The
hoist can be used in rainy conditions but
not
in heavy
rain. It is highly recommended to cover the hoists if they
need to stay in rainy conditions for a longer period.
Suitable rain covers can be ordered from Prolyte.
The cabinet of the chain guide is, due to its position,
gathering water when the hoist is used in the rain. The
bottom of the cabinet is equipped with drain holes. Drain
holes must be checked regularly to avoid them from being
blocked by dirt.
Apart from direct water, the hoists need to be protected
against high humidity levels. Often caused by temperature
changes when hoists are moved from high humidity/
temperature environments (indoor event area’s) to
environments with a much lower temperature (trucks after
a load out. We strongly recommend to dry the hoists after
