                   ON/OFF PENDANT CONTROL SYSTEM

Liftmoore cranes are electrically controlled using the hand-held pendant, which works in conjunction with the crane control module to operate powered functions.

PENDANT

All user inputs are facilitated by the remote pendant control.  The pendant consists of pistol grip housing, wire, and control plug.  The control plug mates with the crane control socket.

CRANE CONTROL MODULE

For ON/OFF (non-proportional) cranes the crane control module contains only the limiting system control board. It is a single printed circuit board enclosed in a rugged, sealed housing.  Status LEDs are located on the circuit board to aid in troubleshooting. 

The limiting system control is part of the safety system.  Refer to that section for more information.

Operation

Plug the pendant into the crane control socket.  Ensure all pins are straight and free of dirt, moisture, and corrosion.  Turn the locking ring approximately 1/3 turn until it clicks into the locked position.

Select the function switch and direction as indicated on the label for the desired operation.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The pendant control is designed to be as rugged and maintenance free as possible; however, care should be used in handling and storage as it is expensive to replace.

Follow these simple practices:

·         Keep the pendant out of the weather

·         When not in use, store the pendant inside the vehicle or body compartment

·         Do not wrap the wire too tightly as internal damage to the wires may result

·         Do not place sharp or heavy object on the cord

note!

The pendant is designed to be weatherproof not waterproof.  It may be used in inclement weather, but if left outside or where water can puddle, water can seep inside. 

Maintenance should be limited to routine inspection of the plug, wire, and fasteners.
