2. Functions and Control

Motor Controller has been designed to control from 1 to 12 electrically compatible motors, either
separately or simultaneously – controlled via switches located on front panel or a cable
remote/pendant. Optionally you can link GO/STOP button by link connector.

Each device is equipped with unique APA module / Automatic Phase Align / which guarantees that on
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
complies with the CE according the Certification of conformity attached to this manual.

3. Operation

The Motor/hoists connected with the GMCseries controller, can be activated individually or
simultaneously using the GO switch located on the front panel or wireless remote. Units can be
optionally linked together to create bigger systems.

3.1 How to start

• Connect the CEE32/5p plug to the AC400V +-20% power supply – turn the key to ON
position. When the main is OK there will be power LED lit in green, otherwise the unit is off.
Check phase voltages, frequency and contact manufacturer in case of help.

• Connect the plugs for the electric hoists to the Harting 6 sockets.

• Check that the emergency STOP mushroom is not engaged on device or any other linked

device in system.

Move lever on front panel or WMC remote corresponding to each motor, to the position required:

o UP - Lever in upper position
o STAY – Lever in middle position
o DOWN - Lever in lower position

• Pushing the GO button will activate the motors to move simultaneously

• Releasing the GO button will stop the movement of the motors simultaneously.

• When is device not used is highly recommended to turn it OFF by key located on front panel.

3.2 To Move a Single/Several hoist:

• Set the UP/DOWN toggle switch for that motor to the desired direction. The associated LED
should light Green for UP, or Red for DOWN direction

• Hold the GO button until the motor are moved the desired height, then release.

3.3 Link of Base units:

Two or up to 30 units can be linked via link connector located on front panel.
For link you’ll need 5pin DMX data cable.

Due safety requirements link works only in LOCAL / LINK MODE of controller
