Daktronics DBH-150, Operation & Maintenance Manual

wARNING

The Daktronics Banner Hoists are not designed to raise and lower people. 

These hoists should NEVER be used for this purpose.
The DBH-150 unit must only be used with a maximum load equal to the capacity stated for the 

model below. Overloading the system may result in serious injury or an inoperable system

The Daktronics hoist system is an automated rigging system, meaning that the load is not counter-weighted. Each 

hoist can lift loads only up to the design capacity. Overloading will result in electrical overload protection shut 

down of the hoist and possible damage to rigging components.

If it is necessary to operate a hoist from a location where the operator's view of the moving 

load is obstructed, a second person must be used to observe the load and communicate to 

the operator.

DBH-150 Unit Overview

The Daktronics Banner Hoist is a chain-driven self-contained hoist platform that can be powered using single phase 

120V 60Hz or 240V 50Hz electricity. The electricity powers the chain motor which rotates the drums, as well as the 

power supply that in turn powers the RF receiver built into the hoist with 24 V DC power. It also controls the operation 

of the chain motor and brakes.

The load is raised and lowered by the two available lift lines, utilizing “Zero-Fleet Angle” design architecture to ensure 

that the cabling does not wind up on top of itself, protecting the cable and drum from wear.

Control over the unit is performed by utilizing the hand-held RF remote within line of sight of the hoist. It allows the 

user to power on/off the unit, raise/lower the lift lines, and remotely program the RF remote to correspond to multiple 

receivers, allowing one to control multiple banner hoists at once with one remote simultaneously. The RF remote 

requres 2 AA alkaline batteries in order to operate.
