3.3.12 EXE-Rise Chain Hoist Controllers
More EXE-Rise Chain hoists shall be operated by controllers designed and specified for this purpose. We
advise to use the EXE-DRIVE range controllers for proper use of your EXE-Rise chain hoist.
The use of other brands, in alternative to EXE-DRIVE controllers is not recommended unless they comply
with the applicable directives and standards. The controller shall provide the required control and monitoring
functions for save operation. The control system must meet the requirements of:
1. EN 60204-32: 2008 Safety of machinery - Electrical equipment of machines - Part 32: Requirements for
hoisting machines (IEC 60204-32: 2008);
2. 2006/42 / EC - Machinery Directive;
3. 2014/30 / EC - Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive.
Controllers shall be chosen depending on the power consumption of an individual hoist, which can vary, as
well as its model (direct control or Low voltage control) or the amount of hoist one would like to control at the
same time.
We strongly advise to keep good view on the load being lifted. Using more than two hoist on one load
requires much more attention. Based on a risk analysis the user shall identify if the hoist and controllers need
additional control options such as Load cells, encoders etc...
In case the controller is equipped with Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB), make sure the correct setting
of amperage is applied and the correct MCCB.
