1.7 Terminology
The following terms and definitions may have been used in this manual:
Authorized personnel Persons who are authorized by the owner and who have the necessary training to carry out operation or
service actions.
Braking resistor Model 006 includes an internal braking resistor for resistor braking.
Bridge The bridge (main girder) moves along the runway.
CE marking The product’s CE-marking indicates that the product complies with the appropriate CE regulations.
Check A visual and functional assessment (not a test) of the product without dismantling.
Compact brake Motor with internal brake.
Controller The pendant or other type of controller is used by the operator to give commands to the crane.
Current rating The nominal current of the frequency converter
EMC Filter The frequency converter has an internal EMC filter in the power supply
Flux braking The flux braking is a braking method in which the braking is dissipated as thermal energy in a motor. Model
003 is using flux braking as a braking method.
Hoist Drive mechanism for lifting and lowering the load.
Main girder The main girder (bridge) is connected to the bridge end carriages.
Main isolation switch The main isolation switch is the power switch which the operator should normally use to turn off the power.
Power supply Power is supplied to the components via the power supply.
Qualified personnel One with necessary qualification based on theoretical and practical knowledge of hoists or/and cranes. The
person must be in a position to assess the safety of the installation in conjunction with the application. Persons
with the authority to undertake certain maintenance work on products of manufacturers include manufacturers’
service engineers and trained fitters with corresponding certification.
Resistor braking The resistor braking is a braking method in which the braking is dissipated as thermal energy in a resistor.
Model 006 is using resistor braking as a braking method.
Slowdown limit Slowdown limit reduces the speed of the crane or trolley at the end of the runway.
Stop limit Stop limit stops the crane or trolley before the end of the runway.
Trolley (hoisting unit) The trolley (hoisting unit) moves along the main girder.
QR Code™ A two dimensional bar code that can include, for example, a product’s serial number in an optically readable
form.
