any align of input phases the motors are still moving in the same direction. If any line wire will be
disconnected the hoist controller stops and ensure safe operation. Unit is also equipped wit AVM
module / Automatic voltage metering /. This module checks main voltage for AC400V +-20%, star
configuration and if there is any problem with main voltage you’re notified and unit will not run any
hoist

Unit will not work when:

• One phase is missing

• Under voltage on lines

• Overvoltage on lines

All electrical components carry their own individual cSA/UL, CE and comply with European Directives.
The components are housed in robust steel 19" rack casing with powder coating. Complete unit
