Power drive is provided by a permanent magnet
DC motor. The controller provides
soft start, overload protection and variable speed.
A pendant control unit allows the operator some freedom of movement.
Power may be supplied from mains or a 2kVA generator, 240v or 110v.
All controls have been built into the winch to simplify installation.
The change from traversing to sounding uses a well
tried push/pull handle action but includes an automatic interlock which prevents
incorrect operation. In manual mode, this feature combined with a load
activated brake which is also completely automatic in action, means that the
handle will not spin when released. No
separate hand or foot operated braking device is employed. A load limiter is also fitted to the traversing system
to protect the operator and the installation in the event of heavy objects
becoming caught on the meter assembly during gauging. All metering is independent of winding drums,
ensuring that slippage at the drive pulley does not affect the measured
distance, Primarily designed for contact closure current
meters, the signal is brought back through a stainless steel coaxial suspension
cable to a robust open slip ring unit with connections for a current meter
control unit. The winch may be supplied with the gearshift on
either side and can be mounted on the front or back of the cableway support,
provided this is specified at time of ordering.
It may also be supplied free standing, with
alternative mounting arrangements to suit customer. |
