Connectingthe mains switch

 

Only for jib cranes with mains switch in the pillar

 

This section only applies if the jib crane has a hole for a mains switch in the pillar.

 

Note

On jib cranes with a mains switch, a mains switch is installed in the pillar. The power supply to the entire crane can be disconnected using the mains switch later on.

 

 

Installing the mains switch

Fillister-head screw M5x20

Protective conductor

Power line from the pillar base and cable to the slip ring

Seal

*    Fit the seal on the main switch.

*    Bolt the protective conductor to the pillar from the inside, using a fillister-head screw M5x20 and a hexagonal nut.

*    Connect the power line to the mains switch. See the wiring diagram.

*    Connect the cable from the pillar cap to the mains switch. See the wiring diagram.

*    Screw the cables on the mains switch using cable clamps.

*    Fit the mains switch into the pillar, and clamp it in place from the outside using screws.

 

 

 

Only for jib cranes with mains switch on the wall

 

This section only applies if the jib crane has no hole for a mains switch in the pillar (e.g. if the pillar is short) and the mains switch is attached to the wall.

 

Note

No mains switch is installed in the pillar on jib cranes with a short pillar. The switch must be attached as a wall switch in its own electrical installation near the jib crane. This version also requires a protective conductor connection, which is connected on the pillar next to the access portal.

 

 

Fitting the protective conductor connection

 

Access portal

Hole Ø 5.5 mm

 

*    Connect the jib crane to the power line as instructed in the wiring diagram.

*    Insert Ø 5.5 mm hole in the pillar about 90 mm from the centre of the access portal.

*    Crimp ring cable lug M5 on the protective conductor of the line.

 

 

Protective conductor

Slip ring

 

Protective conductor connection

*    Screw the protective conductor with ring cable lug and protective conductor connection tight on the pillar using screw M5x30.

*    Secure the other end of the protective conductor connection to the slip ring with a flat plug.

*    Affix the "Protective cover" label next to the hole.
