WARNING
Do not operate an SBN Pendant Pushbutton Station unless you are fully trained and qualified to operate the
overhead material handling system of which this SBN is a component. For applications other than overhead cranes
and hoists, consult Magnetek at 1-800-288-2178.
WARNING
Read the entire contents of this manual before you install or use the SBN Pendant Pushbutton Station.
CAUTION
Prior to installation, inspection, or repair of pendant stations disconnect power at source, following lockout/tagout
procedures as outlined in ANSI Z244.1.
WARNING
If the pendant cable grip is not properly sized to fit the pendant cable, contamination of the pendant housing is
possible. Contaminants that enter the switch contacts may result in a potentially unsafe operating condition.
When cutting, stripping, and installing wires, ensure that contaminants do not fall into the enclosure. Contaminants
that enter the switch contacts may result in a potentially unsafe operating condition.
Some pendant cable manufacturers add talc to their cable during the manufacturing processes. This talc can migrate
from the cable into the housing of the pendant station. As a result, contamination of the switch contacts may occur,
resulting in a potentially unsafe operating condition. Use only talc-free cable for the wiring of all pendant stations.
Remove all contaminants from the housing and switch contact areas prior to sealing the enclosure and putting the
pendant into service.
NOTE: The maximum ambient temperature rating for the SBN pendant is 40°C (104°F).
