Shutdown - Storage; Safety Devices; Minifor™ Hoist With Radio Remote Control - Tractel Minifor TR125 SY Installations-, Gebrauchs- Und Wartungsanleitung

8. SHUTDOWN – STORAGE
Never disconnect the synthetic rope hook from the load
until the load is bearing and stable on a fixed support of
sufficient strength.
The hoist can remain in position provided it is properly
sheltered from weather and located in a dry location.
Disconnect the unit electrically when not in use.
Make sure the hoist cannot be used by unauthorized
persons.
For storage, the unit can be stored in its case. The
Minifor™ synthetic rope should be removed from the
unit and reeled. The Minifor™ synthetic rope must be
stored in a cool, dry location, free of any mechanical
stresses such as crushing, pressure or traction.
IMPORTANT: If the hoist is seated on its base when
the synthetic rope is engaged in the unit, this will result
in bending the synthetic rope resulting in possible
damage. Before use, visually inspect the synthetic rope
to make sure that the sheath of the synthetic rope is not
cut or polluted with small stones or other debris. If the
synthetic rope is damaged, replace it with a new
Minifor™ synthetic rope and immediately eliminate the
old synthetic rope in observance of all applicable
environment regulations.

9. SAFETY DEVICES

The hoist is provided with the following safety devices:
– A no-current brake motor,
– Motor equipped with a thermal probe which blocks
the motor in the event of overheating,
– Emergency stop control on control box – Red
button (see item 1, fig. 3, page A),
– Mechanical interlock, prohibiting simultaneous
action of Up and Down controls,
– High and low limit stop levers on hoist which work
with the limit stops on the Minifor™ synthetic rope,
– Safety latches (item 1, fig. 14 And fig. 15, Page a),
– Electrical protection of hoist (see § 3.1),
– Control protection fuse, in electrical unit.
The emergency stop function is ensured by pressing
the red button (item 1, fig. 3, page A). To restart the unit
after an emergency stop, the emergency stop button
must be unlocked by turning it in the direction of the
arrows marked on the button, after having ensured that
all the emergency conditions have been eliminated.
10. MINIFOR™ HOIST WITH RADIO
REMOTE CONTROL
Certain Minifor™ models can be supplied optionally
equipped with a remote control system comprising a
portable control transmitter (Fig. 16.a) and a receiver
on the unit (Fig. 16.b). The transmitter operates on
a battery and a charger is supplied. This system will
allow you to conduct lifting and lowering operations,
and stopping of the hoist without the need for a control
cable. It operates by transmitting a coded RF signal.
The code of each hoist can be changed by the user; this
is primarily useful when several remote-controlled units
are operated on the same site.
The transmitter and receiver keys must be configured
to the same code. Refer to the radio remote control
manufacturer's documents supplied with the unit.
We strongly recommend that the load always be
in sight when operating the Minifor™ hoist with
a radio remote control. If this is not possible,
appropriate measures must be taken to eliminate
any possible risks.
N.B.: The transmitter unit must be handled and stored
with care to avoid any damage due to impacts.
NOTE: Failure to change the coding can result in nearly
identical movements by all the radio controlled devices
within range at the worksite when you control an action
on your transmitter.
NOTE: The radio range when the transmitter is facing
the front of the receiver is max. 500 m in open field.
Caution! This range can however differ in other
situations due, in particular to:
– The presence of obstacles.
– The existence of electromagnetic interference.
– Certain atmospheric conditions.
In the event of trouble using the system or for special
applications, contact the Tractel
NOTE: When operating the hoist, you must keep
in mind that there is a slight system reaction time.
Operating several hoists from the same transmitter
will therefore not allow thorough and accurate
synchronisation of the hoist.
This remote control system is approved in France by
the telecommunications regulation body (ART) with no
obligation for an individual license. No changes should
be made to this remote control system.
Use of the Minifor™ hoist with radio remote control
outside France is subject to verification of compatibility
of the system with the local regulations governing the
use of radio equipment.
