3Vortek NXT Hoist User Operations Manual

• Do not use a Vortek hoist if it does not appear to be in 100% perfect working order.

• Do not distract the operator’s attention while they are operating a Vortek hoist.

• Do not operate a Vortek hoist without having a clear view of the attached load and load carrying

device through the entire intended travel path or reliable communication with someone who

does.

• DO install the machine either in a protected area or accessible only to competent and qualified

persons.

• DO store the QT1-C Field Service Kit in a location easily accessible to service personnel, and within

proximity of the hoist, for annual inspections.

• Do not remove 1/4" screw on the aluminum motor-gearbox and tail support frames.

• Do not connect the Vortek hoist electrical connection to any power supply socket that has not

been tested by a qualified individual.

All Warning notes contained in this manual provide information about potential hazards that may

endanger personnel.

WARNING: The voltages used in the motor drive and master control panels can cause

severe electrical shock and/or burns.

Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with the motor drives.

Only authorized personnel must carry out any installation, commissioning or

maintenance of the electrical systems.

All drive systems have been tuned at the factory and will not require any

additional alteration or adjustment by the owner’s personnel unless

specifically authorized by an ETC representative.

WARNING: Do not exceed point load, Uniform Distributed Load (UDL), or Working Load

Limit (WLL) or Hoist Capacity for any line set. ETC hoists must only be used to

move a maximum load equal to or less than the capacity of your specific hoist.

Overloading the hoist may result in damage to the system, other property

damage, serious injury, or death.

WARNING: ETC hoists and the controller equipment must not be operated by a user until

installation and configuration have been completed by an ETC trained/

authorized technician. Only ETC trained/authorized technicians are

authorized to operate equipment during the installation and configuration

process.

WARNING: The QT1-C Field Service Kit and the Vortek hoist are designed for the

operating of theatrical equipment within the approved hoist capacity only.

This equipment is not designed to lift, move, fly, suspend, or automate

people or domesticated animals, and such use is strictly prohibited.

WARNING: Before working on any of the Vortek hoists, the main electrical disconnect

must be turned off and locked out.

Safety and Warnings 4

WARNING: Machinery installation, maintenance and disposal must be performed by

competent or qualified persons.

WARNING: At the end of machinery installation, commissioning must be performed by a

qualified person.

WARNING: The load carrying device (e.g., batten) installed on the wire rope cable must

conform to DIN 56950-1:2012 and CWA 15902-1:2008 and the relevant

documentation must be provided by the installer.

WARNING: Do not run the system without all Emergency Stop switches/buttons

connected and in position.

WARNING: Do not start initial operations before a competent person or a trained

specialist has inspected the equipment.

WARNING: Do not use a Vortek hoist without having performed the daily inspection. See

11.1 General Checks

page 47

WARNING: Do not connect the Vortek hoist electrical connection to any power supply

socket that has not been tested by a qualified individual.

WARNING: Do not connect a Vortek hoist to a power source other than specified on the

unit and in this manual.

WARNING: Do not modify a Vortek hoist in any way unless expressly told to do so by the

manufacturer.

WARNING: Do not modify the adjustments of the safety components and functionalities

outside the limits provided in this manual, or without the written

authorization of the manufacturer.

WARNING: Do not open the controller or remove the outer casing if the system is

connected to a power source, even if the Vortek hoist itself is not powered

on. Doing so can result in damage to the product and is a health hazard.

5Vortek NXT Hoist User Operations Manual

2.3 Hoist Capacity

All hoists have a limited Hoist Capacity and all line sets have a Working Load Limit. The Hoist Capacity

is identified on the product label on the motor control box. The limits are not the same for all line sets,

so be sure to check the Working Load Limit for all line sets in your system.

NEVER exceed the working load limit or the Hoist Capacity for any line set.

WARNING: Do not enable the hold-to-run control button (up [] or down [] button) in

any other way than described in this manual. The hold-to-run control button

must always be under manual operator control.

WARNING: Do not use a Vortek hoist if it does not appear to be in 100% perfect working

order.

WARNING: Do not distract the operator’s attention while they are operating the system.
