Installation and operating manual

EN-6

G961.1 - 03/2012

The system manufacturer / operator is therefore responsible for
selecting and equipping the hoists with mechanical load lifting
devices whenever necessary in compliance with the valid directi-
ves and standards and for staying within the hoist's application
limits for the specific application.

Commissioning the machine is prohibited until the machine in
which this is installed complies as a whole with the regulations of
the 2006/42/EC Directive, the corresponding national legislation
for implementing the regulations in accordance with national law
and the corresponding declaration of conformity has been issued.

The operator or system manufacturer must perform a risk evalua-
tion in accordance with Appendix I of the guideline 2006/42/EC
for machines for raising loads. EN 14492-1 must also be taken
into account when inspecting the equipment.

Structural requirements

General information

You must abide by the payload limit specified for the hoisting
gear, deflection roller, rigging and anchoring points. See
'4.9 Load limits' on page 10.

If the load cannot be guided by on-site means then a rotation-
resistant wire rope with a swivel hook or a rope swivel must be
used. Swivel hook and rope swivel must turn freely when sub-
jected to loads.

Rope, products in contact with the rope and rigging must not be
soiled by heavily soiling building materials such as concrete,
epoxy resin or other adhesive materials. Protect the products
against soiling! Always use brush attachments to clean the wire
rope in an extremely dirty environment.

Anchoring point

The structural equipment to be used for attaching the product
must be designed in compliance with the applicable Directives
and standards (see '9.1 Directives and standards' on page 11).

The application's overall suspended load must be taken into
account regarding the design of the suspended construction. The
overall suspended load is the actual suspended static load,
which is made up of the payload, the load lifting equipment's own
weight, the additional fittings, the wire ropes and the control and
connection cables.

If necessary, a test report must be included, in which the static
and dynamic tests that were run are described in detail.

Drive path

During lifting processes the drive path must be limited by one or
multiple limit switches, so that the upward and/or downward
movement is stopped.

The operator or the system manufacturer must determine the
design and the fitting position of the limit switches when taking
their risk assessment into account.

The drive path must be chosen so that the length of rope in the
free reeler is sufficient to ensure safely reaching the start and
end of the drive path.

The operator or system manufacturer must install an operational
limit switch and, if necessary, an emergency limit switch and a
floor limit switch and connect them to the hoist. The limit switches
must have a positive opening.

The gap between the limit switch and the wire rope anchoring or
the protruding components must be chosen so that the machine
can be switched off reliably and in good time. We recommend
that you use a minimum gap (Size a) of between 0.5 to 1.5 m.
See Fig. 22.

The wire rope must be long enough so that the rope end connec-
tion or the load bearing point or the rope end itself cannot be
pulled up to or into the product or the accessory parts.
