3. General safety instructions
Persons operating the lifting device must study and adhere to this documentation.
In order to use the lifting device the following general safety instructions apply:
•Prior to operating the lifting device for the first time, personnel with good knowledge of the lifting
device must demonstrate how it works.
•The lifting device must not be used to lift people.
•The lifting device must not be driven towards another person as this can pose a risk of injury.
•Do not walk under suspended loads, nor shall any part of the body be under a suspended load or
in an area where the suspended load can tip over.
•Protective footwear must be worn.
•The lifting device must not be used for lifting where a falling load could damage/destroy pipes or
wiring that could cause the discharge of flammable, toxic, hot, corrosive gases or liquids.
•The lifting device must not be used to lift molten and hot liquid loads.
•The lifting device must not be used to lift objects, including the gripper, that weigh more than the
lifting device’s maximum capacity, see “Delivery specification” (chapter 1).
•No body parts should be inserted between the wire rope, cable harness or air hose. Nor should
they be wrapped around a body part.
•The lifting device may only be used for vertical lifting, horizontal movement is performed after
lifting. It is not permitted to pull or drag objects horizontally by means of the lifting device.
•The lifting device must not be used to lift objects that are secured.
•Avoid knocking/bumping a raised object.
•Never leave the lifting device unattended with a suspended load.
•The gripper or control handle must not be raised by hand; this is to ensure that the wire-rope
does not become slack which can result in the wire rope becoming tangled.
•Be aware of any abnormal noise emanating from the lifting device. In the event of noise contact
qualified service personnel.
•Maintenance must be performed at the recommended intervals, see “Maintenance of the lifting
device” (chapter 10).
•The lifting device is designed for indoor use.
•The area that the lifting device serves must have adequate lighting.
•The area that lifting device serves must be free of objects on the floor that give rise to a risk of
tripping.
•The maximum angle between the wire rope and the swivel’s centre line is 5 degrees.
•The control handle/external handle must not be released so that it swings in towards something,
this can damage e.g. the emergency stop button.
•Before any cover on the lifting device is opened, the power suply supply must be switched off.
•The lifting device contains many safety critical and ESD sensitive components and for this reason
anyone performing maintenance must possess the requisite knowledge.
•The arms on the lifting device must not be buckled or damaged. If the arms show significant
damage, Binar Handling AB must be contacted for advice on whether the arms must be replaced
to ensure that continued safe functionality is retained.
3.1 Safety features –lifting device
•Anti-drop brake - the lifting device has integrated an anti-drop brake. In the event of a power
failure the load will not fall, but is held safely in place. All functionality returns once the power to
the lifting device is restored.
•Dead man’s handle - this function means that as soon as the operator releases the manoeuvre
handle, the lifting device stops in position by itself.
•Emergency stop - the lifting device has an emergency stop mounted on the control handle or on
the external handle.

Version: QLA QLR QLAT QLRT EN V.7.04i
Date: 20/09/2021
14 (106)
•Programmed stop - the lifting device has programmable stops for the top and bottom positions.
•Mechanical stop - the lifting device has a mechanical end position stop, which means the wire
rope cannot be completely wound off the wire rope drum. There is also a stop in the other
direction to prevent too much wire rope being wound onto the wire rope drum. The lifting device
stops completely and after a run loose procedure it is possible to operate normally again (see
chapter 11.3).
•Control - it is possible to control the lifting device’s functions via PLC in the supplied PC software
iLab 3 for increased functionality and safety.
•The lifting device must not be subjected to lurching movements. If this occurs, the lifting device
will enter power save mode, which is logged.

4. Operating description
4.1 Control handle/External handle
Example –control handle with four pushbuttons
4.2 Emergency stop
In the event of possible danger, the operator can use the emergency stop on the control
handle/external handle to immediately stop the lifting device.
Any external movements, such as rotation or tilting, must have a “hold-to-run” function,
according to EN 13155+A2:2009. For correct connection, see chapter 7.8.2.
Turn the emergency stop button on the control handle or external handle to reset. The lifting device
then automatically performs a brake test before returning to normal mode.
4.3 Function in handle mode
The manoeuvre handle detects the force from the hand and converts the signal to a lifting speed in
the wire rope. Only minimal operating force is required irrespective of the size of the load.
When the grip on the manoeuvre handle is released the lifting device stops its vertical motion. The
horizontal movement slows. Avoid jerky movements.

4.4 Function in full auto-balance mode
The lifting device can serve as a balance lift in so-called auto-balance mode. Both hands can then be
used to manoeuvre the load, both vertically and horizontally.
In auto-balance mode the lifting device’s load cell detects the weight of the lift object; when the
operator lifts the lift object with his hands, the lifting device interprets this as an up signal and lifts up
the lift object and vice versa when the operator presses the lift object down.
The function can be activated and deactivated by pressing and holding the top right button for two
seconds.
A yellow LED around the button lights when auto-balance mode is active.
The lifting device’s load cell needs to detect a stable weight for about one second in order to activate
auto-balance.
It is important that you do not touch the lift object during weight measurement.
If you touch the manoeuvre handle, the lifting device immediately switches to handle mode.
Full auto-balance mode is recommended primarily when the lifting device has to lift parts that do not
require as much precision in the deposit position.
4.5 Function –lifting device in limited auto-balance mode
This function works in the same way as the full auto-balance mode described above, but has an
inherent limitation.
This limitation requires the lifting device to detect the balanced weight for 150 milliseconds before it
can reverse direction from up to down and vice versa. If this condition is not met, the speed is limited
to 3 mm/s, which is often perceived as being stationary.
This limitation makes it easier for example to position the lift object in a hole without the lift object
bouncing up if alignment is not precise.
This limitation makes it even easier to e.g. fit a lift object on horizontal studs without the lifting
device tending to jerk the lift object.
In iLab 3, you can choose between Full and Limited auto-balance modes. See "iLab 3" chapter 7.4.4
Limited auto-balance mode is recommended, for example, when the lifting device is to be used for
assembling parts.
4.6 Before start
The lifting device must be checked once a day, ideally at the beginning of the shift. This is to ensure
the integrity and safety of the lifting device. Once you have checked the four points, fill in the report
for daily inspection, see "Appendices" in chapter 18. If no faults are detected, the lifting device is
ready to be used. If any faults are detected, notify your supervisor immediately.
The points to be checked are:
•That the wire rope is undamaged.
•That the control handle or the control box and external handle are undamaged.
•That the spiral cable and compressed air hose are undamaged.
•No noise occurs when running up and down respectively. Be extremely attentive to creaking
sounds, which could be a sign of wire rope tangle on the wire rope drum.

4.7 When starting
•If the power suply to the lifting device has been switched off, wait at least 10 seconds before
turning the power suply back on.
•The green LED next to the top left pushbutton will flash if the lifting device has entered power
save mode. You then need to activate the lifting device. Do this by pressing the top left button.
The lifting device then releases the anti-fall brake and performs a brake test. The LED then
switches to a fixed green light.
•Start-up time following power saving mode is about 3 seconds.
•Start-up time following emergency stop is about 10 seconds.
