THG/TLG/TLT
2.5 Safety device
WARNING
Emergency stop switch
The pillars THG, TLG, TLT have not any on/off- switch.
In case of failures, risks the pillar must be disconnected from the
control unit, respectively the control unit from main supply.
That for an emergency stop switch must be provided in the
application.
Integration with an emergency-stop required (for cer-
tain applications)
The pillar is intended for use within a complete system (lift-
ing column plus control). It does not have its own operating
control elements and does not have an independent emer-
gency-stop function.
Install emergency stop functions for the pillar and integrate
them into the safety chain of the complete system prior to
operating the pillar.
The emergency stop function has to be connected in such a
way that a disruption of the power supply or the activation of
the power supply after a power disruption cannot cause a
hazardous situation for persons and objects.
Theemergencyshut-osystemsmustalwaysbefreely
accessible.
Furthermore, within the complete system, install a function
to set free a patient, if the system has just blocked.
NOTE
The manufacturer of the equipment specifies the applica- tions in
which the emergency stop systems must be installed.
The following safety devices are already installed:
THG/TLG/TLT
The brake takes care of self-preservation in idle mode. The
maximum self-preservation force of the brake in idle mode is
the compressive or tensile force of the telescopic pillar (refer
to technical data sheets in the appendix).
The THG 11, TLG 11 and TLT 11 telescopic pillars have an in-
tegratedover-currentsafetyshut-o.
In its standard version, the device does not feature an over-cur-
rentsafetyshut-oandmustbeshutoviaanEwellixcontrol
unit.
A screw nut converts the rotation of the gear unit into a lin-
ear motion. If the ball screw nut breaks, its function is taken
over by the integrated back-up nut and the telescopic pillar
can engage in a one-time movement against the load
direction.
DANGER
In case of use a third-party control unit see chapter 6.5
Connection to the control unit.
The following safety devices are incorporated into the
separate control unit:
The standard version of the pillar does not feature any ther-
mal fuse protection and can overheat and be damaged. In
case of overheating, an Ewellix control unit with an inte-
gratedthermalswitchwillturnthedeviceo.
NOTICE
Authorized only accessories (operating elements) with buttons
(monostable).
NOTICE
Damage from overheating
Overheating of the telescopic pillar can cause damage.
Using a control unit that is not recommended by Ewellix can result
in overheating of the telescopic pillar.
2.6 Safeguard against
restart
To secure the telescopic pillar against unintentional restart:
1. Pull the power line plug of the control (connected to the
telescopic pillar) out of the power outlet.
WARNING
Life-threatening situation through unauthorized restart!
For work in hazard zones, there is a risk that the power supply
will be turned on without prior authorization. This presents a life-
threatening situation for people in the hazard zone.
Therefore:
• Follow the information concerning safeguarding against restarting
of the power supply in the chapters of this operating manual.
• Always follow the process to safeguard against a restart as de-
scribed below.

4.0 Structure and function
4.3 Brief description
The Telemag is an electric telescopic pillar with guiding
tubes.
The pillar is used in a complete system and is used exclu-
sively for dynamic centric compression- or eccentric com-
pression-loaded lifting movements.
The telescopic pillar consists of two or three nested guide
tubes which are extended and retracted by an integrated drive.
The guide slide bearings ensure extension and retraction
evenwitho-centeredloads.
Direct current motor with a worm gear drives a threaded
spindle. A threaded nut, which is permanently connected to
the actuator, runs up and down on the spindle and gener-
ates the feed motion. The slide tube is connected on the
front side via the base plate to the guide tubes.
Extension or retraction of the telescopic tube occurs by
changing the rotational direction of the motor. The thrust
speed is dependant on the load.

TLT
Ewellix

Power
supply
voltage
Ewellix operating
element
The Telemag telescopic pillar requires an external control to
power the motor unit. It is connected to the THG/TLG via a
connecting cable and to the TLT via two connecting cables.
THG/TLG
ThemaindierencebetweentheTHG/TLGandTLTtele-
scopicpillarsisofthedierentsizesoftheguidetubeand
the number of spindles (refer to chapter 3 Technical data).
The magnitude of the load speed and transverse force de-
termines the choice of drive motors and their power. This ul-
timately results in the deviations in the values for compres-
sive forces and thrust speed as well as additional functions
such as cable feedthroughs.
TLT1
Compared to the Telemag THG and TLG telescopic pillars,
two spindle systems in the TLT telescopic pillar produce
double the thrust speed. There are two connection cables
for two DC motors permanently installed on the TLT tele-
scopic pillar.
NOTE
Additional differences between the THG, TLG and TLT telescopic
pillars are found in the sections on connections and data
sheets in the Appendix.
TLT2
Compared to TLT1, the TLT2 has placed the 2 DC Motors
and Electronic connection outside of the tube to support a
reduced Built in Dimension.

4.6 Operating elements
NOTE
The pillar does not feature its own operating elements.
The operation takes place via a Ewellix operating element on an
external Ewellix control unit (⮑ Separate operating instructions).
4.7 Options
The options listed below are available for the entire THG,
TLG and TLT telescopic pillar model series if not indicated
otherwise.
4.7.1 Impulse transmitter
THG/TLG/TLT
The impulse transmitter picks up impulses from a ring mag-
net via the Hall sensor. The ring magnet is attached to the
motor gear. The control calculates the position or lift of the
extended drive from the number of impulses.
This results in the possibility of the telescopic pillar’s drive
extendingorretractingtooneormoredenedpositions.
4.7. 2 Potentiometer
THG/TLG
Alternatively, the drive can be extended or retracted to one
ormoredenedpositionsviaapotentiometer.Thisoptionis
only possible for the THG telescopic pillar with the triple
guide tube set. There are no limitations for the TLG tele-
scopic pillar so the potentiometer is available in the double
or tripe guide set.
4.7. 3 Cable feed
THG/TLG/TLT
With all models, you have the option to feed the power sup-
ply voltage through the telescopic pillar via a cable feed.
Therefore, there are customer side to install separately fuses
inthenalapplication.TheymustcorrespondtoIEC60127
withcurrentswitchocapabilityof1500A.
In case of connection the cable feed with earth ground, be
sure and control this electric function regular.
NOTE
For the THG telescopic pillar with potentiometer, the triple guide
tube set must be used (refer to chapter ⮑ 4.7.2 Potentiometer).
