1 INTRODUCTION:
The STAGEMAKER
®
CONTROLLER has been developed specifically for the control of VERLINDE
STAGEMAKER
®
chain hoists (motors) series SM5 and SM10. The controllers are available with 4 – 8 or
12 channels and built into a compact suitcase, 19” rack casing, or vertical flightcase.
The STAGEMAKER
®
CONTROLLER allows you to control the chain hoists individually or simultaneously
with one single button. Pre-selection facilities for all units, PRM models with remote button box incorporate
red and green LED indicators, which indicate the selected hoisting direction. Even STAGEMAKER
®
hoists
equipped with optional features, such as low voltage circuitry, adjustable limit switches and thermal motor
protection can be controlled with this controller still using only the power cable.
For larger applications, STAGEMAKER
®
CONTROLLERS can be interconnected to serve a system of
more controlers. All pre-selected motors are activated simultaneously through one single RUN button, as a
standard. Other interconnections are available on request.
STAGEMAKER
®
CONTROLLERS fully meet the latest European electrical standards (IEC-EMC) and
have been approved by the official APAVE institute. They offer a maximum flexibility, durability and safety.
