Testing & Setting
6.3.6 Programming The Rail
Drive the carriage 50mm down the rail using the portcullis as a reference point. Then select BEND SPEED to
ON. Continue programming in bend speed until the portcullis is a further 180mm. If required full speed can be
selected. Full speed should be used on straight sections of rail and external horizontal bends. On all vertical,
internal and helical bends switch FULL SPEED to OFF when the portcullis is 100mm from the upside joint of
the bend. When the portcullis is 440mm past the downside joint of the bend switch FULL SPEED to ON. Repeat
through all of the bends to the bottom of the rail.
6.3.7 Programming The Bottom Terminal Limit
If approaching the bottom charge point in full speed, switch FULL SPEED
to OFF when the portcullis is 180mm above the bottom charge point
reference point.
Move the lift down the rail until the portcullis is 150mm past the bottom
charge point reference point then switch BEND SPEED to OFF. This
selects CREEP SPEED (default).
Drive the carriage onto the bottom final limit striker. This should be set so
that the final limit stop is approximately 10-15mm further down than the
required terminal limit stop position. While still in program mode drive the
lift up so that both charge plungers are on the charge point.
Switch PROGRAM MODE to OFF (into run mode). The standby symbol
will be displayed.
