does not operate, proceed as instructed
below (procedure to be carried out by a
qualified electrician):
a) 400 V version:
- disconnect the electric power connector
(item 10, fig. 1, page 6),
- using a screwdriver, turn the notch in the
male connector by 180° to reestablish
the correct phase order (fig. 10, page A)
b) 690 V version:
- disconnect the electric power connector
(item 10, fig. 1, page 6),
- disassemble the power connector using
a cross-slot screwdriver to unscrew the
two screws located in the connector
(fig. 11, page A),
- invert 2 of the 3 phases,
- reassemble the connector and secure
with the two screws using a cross-slot
screwdriver.
6.3) Installing the Minifor™ synthetic rope
in the hoist and adjusting the end limit
stops.
1. Connect the electric power connector to
a power outlet.
2. Manually insert the insertion fitting in
the hoist through the opening provided
for this purpose ; the location is marked
by an arrow on the casing.
IMPORTANT: never insert the
synthetic rope in the other opening which is
exclusively intended for the rope exit. Never
secure a load on a slack section of
Minifor™ synthetic rope.
3. Press the “Up” button on the control
pendant while pushing the synthetic
rope so that it engages on the pulley
located inside the hoist.
4. Once the Minifor™ synthetic rope is
driven by the drive system, release it.
5. When the synthetic wire rope comes
out of the hoist, continue the movement
to obtain a length of wire rope of around
1 meter coming out of the hoist.
6. On the free end of the Minifor™ synthetic
wire rope (item 1, fig. 13, page A), slip on
the low limit stop (item 2) with the ball
pointing downward, then the clamping
device (items 3-4-5) and tighten the two
screws (item 5) using an ALLEN wrench
(item 6). There should be one meter of
synthetic rope between the limit stop
ring and the end of the Minifor™
synthetic rope.
7. Check that the limit stop does not slide
on the synthetic rope (fig. 13, page A).
NOTE: You may wish to limit
even further the travel distance of the load
downward; in this case, run the synthetic
rope to the desired length before you secure
the limit stop ring.
On the other end, secure the upper limit stop
clamping device in accordance with the height
at which you want to limit the travel of the load
upward. Secure the limit stop and check it by
applying the same procedure as for the low
limit stop.
Check that the hoist limit levers operate
correctly, as well as the other safety devices
as described in section 9.
DANGER: It is an absolute safety
requirement to ensure that there is a limit
stop at around one meter ahead of the free
end of the synthetic rope and another limit stop
on the hook side of the synthetic rope, both
securely and appropriately fastened.
6.4) Check with load
With the load fastened, lift it slightly and check
that the “Up” and “Down” controls operate
correctly; also check operation of the
“Emergency stop” control.
Once you have ensured that these functions
operate correctly, you can proceed with the
maneuvers.
If the unit does not operate correctly, return it
to a TRACTEL
®
-approved repair agent (Also
see section 6.2).
