Kinesys - Products - Elevation Power 8

The elevation POWER 8 is an eight-channel fixed-speed chain-hoist controller. It incorporates an extensive range of features in a compact rack mounting module. The unit is designed for use with low voltage control chain hoists and has a universal voltage input allowing it to be used in all regions of the world without any adjustment.

Four 16A C-type miniature circuit breakers (MCB) provide protection for the eight hoist supplies. A residual current device (RCD) is available as an option. In normal operation voltage is only supplied to the hoists when they are required to move; a 'pickles enable' mode provides permanent power to the hoists when necessary for rigging.

Phase rotation and presence is monitored by the POWER 8, with hoist operation being prevented when rotation is incorrect or any phase is not present. Phase rotation can be reversed using a switch on the rear of the unit.

Local running controls are included as well as a 'remote go' facility and an emergency stop system. Status indicators are included for each channel which will illuminate to indicate that a chain hoist is connected and powered. The low voltage remote input is compatible with most hoist control systems, including the Kinesys elevation 24.

The elevation POWER 8 is built to meet or exceed all relevant European safety standards.
