8.5.3. Connection
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS ENSURE THE POWER SUPPLY IS SWITCHED OFF BEFORE CONNECTING THE WINCH
(Main
circuit breaker on the cut line).
Socket connection
The appliance is systematically supplied with a power cord (length 0.5 m) equipped with a plug for connection to a wall
socket or wire socket.
The type of plug depends on the power supply voltage:
. 2P+G (domestic type) in 230 V single-phase
. 3P+G in 230 V or 400 V three-phase (in this case the plug socket is also supplied)
Connection in the unit
IMPORTANT:
this type of electrical connection of the winch must be performed by a competent and qualified person.
Disconnect the power cord inside the electrical unit by accurately identifying the location of the terminals.
Pass the new cable into the unit's compression gland and reconnect it in the same way as the power cord.
A circuit breaker must be placed at a maximum of 10 m from the place of use.
After connecting the machine, check that it functions correctly.
IMPORTANT
: In three-phase power supply, check in particular that the direction of rotation is correct.
In fact, in three-phase, the drum's direction of rotation depends on the allocation of the phases to each of the three
power supply connection terminals. To reverse the direction of rotation, simply switch the two phases: under no
circumstances change the direction labels in the control unit or the cabling inside the winch.
Never "shunt" the disconnecting switches, electrical switches, prevention or limitation equipment.
Never block, adjust or remove switches or end stops in order to go beyond the levels that they allow.
8.5.4. Securing the working rope
Important: in three-phase the drum's direction of rotation differs depending on the power supply connection.
Switching the two phases changes the drum's direction of rotation.
Reminder: check the maximum capacity of the winch.
Very important:
The safety regulations require that two to three whorls of rope always stay on the drum.
To comply with the legislation, the rope diameter must not exceed the recommended diameter.
If the rope and the hook used were not supplied with the machine by the manufacturer, check that they guarantee a
level of safety corresponding to table § 6.6.
IMPORTANT
: even if the rope was supplied wound on to the winch, it was not tensioned during assembly. The user
must tension it using a minimum force of 1% of its breaking load.
The service life of the steel ropes used on the winch depends on a number of factors, including the type of the work
cycles (lifting height, lifting speed, number and type of deviations, etc.) and the operating mode (number of layers,
distribution of the work cycles over the length of the steel rope, etc.). The service life of steel ropes is therefore
subject to considerable variation depending on these factors.
Remember that rope must be replaced with equipment which meets the same specifications as the original rope.
This replacement must be recorded in the maintenance booklet.
