Payout Mode screen: (Refer to Figure 5-50)
CAUTION
Payout Mode is completely independent of travel and position limits.
Even with limited torque, improper use can cause damage to the hoist
and/or cables.
NOTE
Payout Mode uses Torque Limited Speed and is not intended for normal
use. The most common use is during chain replacement.
Row #1) The ‘PAYOUT MODE SPEED (IPS)’ display shows the speed that will be commanded
while Payout Mode is active. Payout Mode is limited to a maximum 5 Inches per Second.
Row #2) The ‘PAYOUT MODE BACKOFF DISTANCE (IN)’ display shows the position amount that will
be used in the opposite direction of travel if the torque limit is reached. This is normally
intended to unbind or release tension during chain replacement. Setting this to zero will
leave the gearbox in a bound condition, which is usually undesirable.
