The variable speed controls fitted with a CEM filter and faradised motor rope may have significant leakage
currents to the earth, especially when the appliance is switched on. Differential switches could therefore be
tripped accidentally. Furthermore, the diode rectifying bridge in the input circuit could generate a direct
current in the phases of the network. You are advised to use differential switches which are not sensitive to
these transient currents and of a high tripping level. The other equipment must be protected by one or more
separate differential switches.
A differential switch upstream to a variable speed control is not adequate protection.
6.7.2. Wiring
DANGER
Make sure that the appliance is connected to a sound earth.
The wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician adhering to the safety standards of the country of
installation.
Do not perform or modify the wiring before you are personally sure that the voltage of the network is no
longer present on the appliance and that any residual voltage of the appliance has disappeared.
Check that the voltage of the network corresponds to the voltage of the variable speed.
Do not connect the phases of the network to the output terminals for the connection of the motor (U, V, W).
Tighten the screws to the suitable tightening torque. Check, before switching on, that all the connections are
securely tightened.
7 – Handling – Storage
Important
: the angle formed between the hook and the two sling points must not
exceed 45°.
Lift and place the winch carefully without dropping it.
Do not forget that the centre of gravity of the winch is off-centred.
For further information on the weight of the winch, refer to section § 6.2 – Models
available.
When stored, these winches must be protected from bad weather in a clean and dry place at a temperature between -
10°C and +50°C.
8 – Assembly and start-up
8.1. Securing the winch
The flatness deviation between the 4 points of support must not exceed 1mm, in order to avoid undue strain on the
device and ensure its longevity.
The support must be able to withstand the loads to which it is subjected. An unsuitable installation site may lead to
serious accidents.
To assess the suitability of the place of installation and its resistance to loads, you must take into account any possible
overloading, the weight of the winch itself and the weight of the options and/or accessories fitted to it, including all
dynamic forces. The winch user is responsible for determining the place of installation. If in doubt with regard to the
suitability of a place of installation, contact a civil engineer or a statics specialist.
