Warnung stürzende Last

Danger to persons due to defective gear limit switch!

If a gear limit switch is disassembled and repaired, it might no longer function properly. This could cause the load to fall, killing or injuring people.

Replace defective gear limit switches only as a complete assembly!

 

 

Installing the gear limit switch

Shaft

Bearing flange

*   Open the housing cover of the hoist limit switch enclosure on the cable drum.

*   Rotate the shaft of the gear limit switch so that it matches the elongated hole in the bearing flange of the cable drum.

 

 

Plastic screws B6, 3x25

Cam switch PCB

 

*   Insert the gear limit switch with the shaft in the elongated hole on the bearing flange and guide it onto the two pins.

*   Screw the gear limit switch tight with the plastic screws B6, 3x25. 3 Nm.

 

 

Connecting the gear limit switch

*   Plug in the connector of the connection cable on the cam switch PCB.

 

 

Only with absolute rotary encoder

 

Connecting the absolute rotary encoder

Connector of the connection cable on the cam switch PCB

Connections for CAN bus network and Modbus network

Connection cable

Connector of the connection cable on the cam switch PCB

*   Insert the RJ45 connection cable for the CAN bus network or Modbus network.

Both connections on the circuit board of the absolute rotary encoder are suitable for a CAN bus network (ABUControl Comfort) as well as a Modbus network (ABUControl Basic). The bus system that is used is recognised automatically.

The second port can be used to connect an additional CAN bus device or Modbus device.

*   The second connector of the connection cable for the cam switch PCB is inserted in the white pin multipoint connector above the connections for the CAN bus network or Modbus network.

 

 

 

*   Close the housing cover.

*   Set all switching points. See ABUS electrics 3: Setting the switching point for the bottom hoist limiter and ABUS electrics 3: Setting switching points for backup limiter and top hoist limiter.
