Installation and operating manual
Fall arrest devices with remote activation
The connections of the connectors for operating the magnet
cylinder and the limit switch must be integrated in the system
controller.
It must be ensured that only one voltage pulse is sent to the
cylinder. The magnet cylinder must not be continuously supplied
with voltage.
ATTENTION!
Risk of overheating!
If the magnet cylinder is continuously supplied with voltage,
there is risk of overheating. The fall arrest device's remote
activation is no longer possible.
–
Make sure that only a single voltage pulse is sent to the
magnet cylinder.
Installing the safety rope
DANGER!
Risk of injury through stabs and cuts!
Broken wires in the wire rope can result in protruding wires!
Protruding wires can cut or stab through safety gloves!
–
Wear suitable leather protective gloves when working
with wire ropes.
–
Never let the wire rope run through your hands.
Danger of severe injuries caused by incorrect anchoring!
There is a risk of malfunction if the fall arrest device cannot
align with the rope.
–
The fall arrest device must be secured in place so that
the rope runs vertically into the fall arrest device from
above.
–
The fall arrest device must be aligned so that it does not
touch the rope.
–
The rope must be tensioned using a tensioning weight or
a relevant winding device.
–
The rope must never run over an edge!
–
The loose rope end must hang free.
Note
Do not mix up the safety rope and the suspension rope: Observe
the correct rope diameter (see also Fig. 3).
–
Roll-off the rope correctly so that no loops in the rope occur.
–
Secure the rope to the suspended assembly. The rope must
hang free.
–
Open the fall arrest device by pressing down on the manual
lever.
–
Feed the rope in from the top.
BSO 2050/2360: The control pin will spring out if the rope
has been fed in correctly.
–
Manually pull the rope until it is taut.
EN-10
–
Clamp two tensioning weights (weighing approx. 9-10 kg) in
place about 20 cm above the ground (see Fig. 5).
BSO 2050/2360: 1 x 25 kg
–
Place the loose end of the rope down correctly to prevent
any loops or knots from being created.
Fall arrest devices with limit switch: Electrical
connection
The limit switch will ensure that the control voltage for the down-
ward movement will be disconnected if a safety-stop is activated.
See Fig. 13.
Connection diagram for fall arrest devices with limit switch.
The switch must be connected as a break contact in order to
realize forced opening.
–
Utilize the colours BK (black) and BKWH (black-white) for
the connection.
Limit switch cable with plug connection
–
Connect the limit switch cable plug to the hoist's control box.
Hard-wired connection
Only a qualified electrician is permitted to undertake this work.
–
Connect the limit switch cable inside the hoist's control box
as shown in the circuit diagram.
10.4 Commissioning
Determine operational readiness
–
Check the rope anchoring point.
–
Inspect the connection between the fall arrest device and
the load lifting equipment.
–
Check whether the rope enters the fall arrest device vertical-
ly.
–
Check whether the fall arrest device can freely align with the
rope.
–
Record the inspection results in the logbook.
Functional test
See Fig. 9 (example).
General function test:
–
Inspect the housing for signs of damage.
–
Press the SAFETY-STOP (1) button while moving down-
ward.
The fall arrest device must close and hold the rope.
Optional for fall arrest devices equipped with a limit switch:
The hoisting gear may not move downwards.
