1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Attention
: All users must read these operating
instructions carefully prior to the initial operation. These
instructions are intended to acquaint the user with the
hoist controller and enable him/her to use it to the full
extent of its intended capabilities.
The operating instructions contain important information
on how to handle the hoist controller in a safe, correct and
economic way. Acting in accordance with these
instructions helps to avoid dangers, reduce repair costs
and downtime and to increase the reliability and lifetime of
the hoist controller.
Anyone involved in doing any of the following work with
the hoist controller must read the operating instructions
and act accordingly:
• Operation, including preparation, trouble shooting and
cleaning
• Maintenance, inspection, repair
• Transport
Apart from the operating instructions and the accident
prevention act valid for the respective country and area
where the hoist controller is used, also the commonly
accepted regulations for safe and professional work must
be adhered to.
The user is responsible for the proper and professional
instruction of the operating personnel.
Suitable for entertainment use
The
PRO
LYFT AETOS hoist controllers are specially
designed for use in the Entertainment industry. They must
only control electric chain hoists that are suitable for use
in the Entertainment industry.
Combining the hoist controller with different type of
electric chain hoists might lead to unwanted, unexpected
or dangerous situations.
The
PRO
LYFT AETOS hoist controllers are not designed
to control hoists suspending or lifting loads above people.
Read the manual of the electric chain hoists before
starting to operate them with the hoist controller.
Regulations
The accident prevention act and/or safety regulations of
the respective country for using manual and electric chain
hoists must be strictly adhered:
• Europe:
• Machine Directive 2006/42/EG
• Safety of Machinery NEN 12100:2010
• Germany: BGV D6, BGV D8
Additional regulations are in effect for lifting or suspending
loads over people.
Germany: SQ P2
The Netherlands: NPR8020-10
United Kingd
om: BS7950-1
Maintenance/Repair
In order to ensure correct operation, not only the
operating instructions, but also the conditions for
inspection and maintenance must be complied with. If
defects are found or abnormal noise is to be heard stop
using the hoist controller immediately.
Attention:
Before starting to work on electrical
components the power-supply is to be cut off.
2. INCORRECT OPERATION
•
Do not
exceed the rated power capacity per controlled
channel.
•
Do not
lift stuck or jammed loads.
•
Do not
shortly and frequently actuate the up/down
switch.
• Do not
control hoists if the movement of the load is not
visible from the operating position.
• Do not
control hoists if you are skilled for lifting loads
• Do not
use cables with damaged strain reliefs and/or
isolation.
• Do not
use any input- or output cables that are not
suitable for the supplied voltage and / or current.
• Do not
use the Thuja data connection (link in, link out)
with other network devices unless these devices are
specified to be suitable for use in the Thuja data
network.
• Do not
connect the controller to a mains connection that
is not properly fused.
• Do not
use the controller without proper grounding.
• Do not
connect more then one hoist on a single
channel.
3. ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS
All electric connections must be used with respect for the
specified voltages and maximum power consumption.
Power input:
The power input connector is a 5pin CEEform connector
suitable for 3 phase 32Amp / 400Volt. 3 Phases, neutral
and ground.
Depending on the type of controller it can be plugged in to
either a 3 phase 400V or a 3 phase 230V mains
connections.
Make sure the mains connection is fused at maximum
32Amps per phase. It is advised to use circuit breakers
with a C or D characteristic.
Make sure the mains connection is properly grounded.
Improper grousing might lead to dangerous with the
risk
of electric shock.
Maximum power consumption per hoist.
Each hoist channel is capable of switching an electric
chain hoist with maximum power consumption of 1,5kW.
Power output to the hoists
For each 4 hoist channels there is a Harting 16 output
connector.
Make sure the cables (and each individual wire of the
cable) connected to the output connector are suitable for
minimum 10Amps at 400V per wire.
To avoid voltage drops longer cables should have bigger
wire diameters.

•
Turn the adjusting nut in clockwise direction, until the test load is raised.
Attention: The max. operating time of the overload device is 60
seconds. Thereafter the unit has to cool down to room temperature
[mm. 20 minutes].
•
Reassemble in opposite sequence.
8.9. MAINTENANCE OF GEARBOX
The gearbox is practically maintenance-free. Service is therefore
reduced to changing the oil or grease.
The gearbox oil/grease should be changed after every 10 years, however,
latest after 800 operating hours (oil volume see table 6).
Attention: During oil change the electric power supply must be shut off.
Oil change PAE-500 and PAE-1000 (Fig. 20A)
Disassemble the gear cover by removing the cylinder screws. Place the hoist
horizontally and turn so that the oil can drain from the fill hole into a suitable
container (approx. 30 minutes). Replenish the gearbox oil. Finally re-adjust the
device with a new gasket.
Grease change PAE-250 (Fig. 20B).
Disassemble the gear cover by removing the cylinder screws. Remove the
grease with cleaning paper. Attach the new grease to the transmission with the
use of a small grease gun. Finally re-adjust the device with a new gasket.

8.8. MAINTENANCE OF OVERLOAD PROTECTION DEVICE
Overload protection device
The unit is equipped with an overload protection device as standard. This
device is factory set to 125% + 25% of the rated capacity and prevents
reliably overloading of the hoist during lifting of loads. Adjustment and testing
of the overload device may only be carried out by authorized competent
persons.
The force-limit factor according to EN 14492-2:2006 is
ɸ
DAL=1,35. The

Loosen the adjusting nut with a pin type face wrench acc. to DIN 3116 in
anti-clockwise direction until blocked.
Attention: The adjusting nut is secured with a screw securing agent
(Loctite® 243). For loosening, it may be necessary to heat up the area of
the adjusting nut to max. 80° C using a hot-air blower, for example. Any
remainders of the screw securing agent must be completely removed.
Attention: Prior to new adjustment, always use Loctite® 243 again for
securing the adjusting nut.
