concert hoists are offered in many configurations, each with its own control type and
hoist features.
Configuration A:
Utilizes three-phase direct motor control for easier setup and cabling. The hoist
is equipped for mobile installations so it can be mounted in the normal or inverted position. A direct
motor control hoist in the inverted position is best suited for temporary or short-term setups. Full line
voltage controller furnished separately.
Configuration B
:
Utilizes three-phase power and low voltage control. The hoist (SM1, SM2, SM5,
SM10) is equipped for mobile installations so it can be mounted in the inverted or normal position, but
when specially equipped the hoist (SM1, SM5, SM10) can also be used in the normal position of fixed
applications. Controller furnished separately. A “pickle”, which is used during stage setup, can be
connected directly to the low voltage hoist control. The SM16, SM20 and SM25 hoists must always
be mounted in the normal position and are furnished with a pushbutton pendant controller with E-
stop, for other SM16, SM20 and SM25 applications please contact the factory.
Configuration C
:
Utilizes three-phase power and low voltage control. The hoist is equipped for
fixed installations so it can be mounted in the normal position, but when specially equipped the hoist
can also be mounted in the inverted position. The hoist is readily equipped for programmable control
and sequencing. Controller furnished separately.
Configuration D
:
Used where a higher degree of safety is needed. The hoist complies with
enhanced safety regulations in accordance to DIN 56925. The enhanced safety features and low
voltage control are operated from a standard or programmable controller. The hoist is equipped for
fixed installations so it can be mounted in the normal position. When specially equipped the hoist can
also be mounted in the inverted position, but must be operated from a nonprogrammable controller.
Configuration E
:
Utilizes three-phase power and is set up for external controls (typically VFD),
which are not included. The hoist is equipped for fixed installations so it can be mounted in the normal
position, but when specially equipped the hoist can also be mounted in the inverted position.
Configuration S
:
Utilizes single-phase power and low voltage motor control. The hoist is
equipped for mobile installation so it can be mounted in the inverted or normal position, but when
specially equipped the hoist can also be used in the normal position of fixed installations. Controller
furnished separately. A “pickle”, which is used during stage setup, can be connected directly to the
low voltage hoist controls.
Configuration V
:
Utilizes three-phase power and low voltage control. The hoist (SM10) is
equipped for fixed installations so it can be mounted in the normal position, but when specially
equipped, the hoist can also be used in the inverted position. Controller furnished separately.
