1Introduction
•The balancer pulls the multifunction
plug including the cable above head
height and keeps your workplace
clean and tidy.
•Over the entire rope range, the bal-
ancer has a uniform load-bearing ca-
pacity that you can set between 2 and
3 kg with a rope length of 1.6 m.
•You can set the retractable rope
length so that it is possible to keep the
multifunction plug within reach in dif-
ferent installation situations.
•The balancer consists of a sturdy die-
cast aluminium housing, flexible and
resilient stainless steel wire rope and is
characterized by its precise rope guid-
ance and the spring that is designed
for a long service life.
•Can be mounted on ceilings and walls.

Operating Instructions
Check that the contents of the package
are complete and inspect for possible
damage. If any components are missing or
are
damaged, contact our customer service
immediately (see also Chapter
1.2 CUSTOMER SERVICE).
4.2 Installing the Balancer
You can install the balancer on the wall or
on the ceiling by attaching it to a suitable
bracket. The bracket must be attached
securely to the ceiling of the hall and have
adequate load-bearing capacity.
Note!
Install the balancer such that
the rope can be moved freely.
Choose an installation height at which the
central part of the rope is loaded and
where you can easily reach the balancer
when the rope is retracted.
4.2.1 Installing the Balancer in a
Fixed Position
Screw the balancer in a fixed horizontal or
vertical position in at least two fastening
holes (①).
Use M8 nuts and bolts with a locking
device to prevent loosening (e.g. self-
locking hexagon nuts as per EN
10511/DIN 985).

4.2.2 Installing the Balancer in a
Movable Position
Note!
We recommend installing the
balancer in a movable position
to ensure that the rope is not
subjected to friction.
Use the supplied snap hook (B) to fasten
the balancer and secure it with the retain-
ing rope (C) on the bracket, which you
should attach separately if possible.
Make sure that adequate lengths of the
retaining rope (C) are routed above one
another and that the clamp (D) blocks
both sections of the ropes that are on top
of one another.
4.3 Suspending a Load
Danger!
When suspending a load, hold
the rope tight, e.g. on the rope
cla
mp (⑤); otherwise, it could
fly back and cause injuries.
Use suitable, safe fastenings to suspend
the multifunction plug including the cable.
Note!
If you choose to install the
balancer in a fixed position,
you can use the supplied
securing components
like the
rope, clamp and ring, for
example, to suspend the mul-
tifunction plug.
4.4 Setting the Balancer
Caution!
Make sure that the rope is not
pulled out completely. There
should be at least 5
cm left.
If necessary, move the rope
clamp (
⑤) and lock it to limit
the lift upwards.
Estimate the weight of the multifunction
plug including the cable. You can find
details of the weight of the multifunction
plug in the combined plug and socket
operating instructions.
Set the necessary load-bearing capacity on
the rotary knob (③). The setting range
for the load-bearing capacity is between 2
and 3 kg.

The arrows on the housing (②) show the
direction of rotation to increase or reduce
the load-bearing capacity.
4.4.1 Increasing the Load-bearing
Capacity
Turn the rotary knob (③)to the left (anti-
clockwise) to increase the load-bearing
capacity.
4.4.2 Reducing the Load-bearing
Capacity
Turn the rotary knob (③)to the right
(clockwise) to reduce the load-bearing
capacity.
4.4.3 Setting the Rope Length
If you want to set a rope length of less
than 1.6 m, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the screws on the rope clamp
(⑤) until you can move it.
2. Position the rope clamp (⑤)at the
desired position.
3. Tighten up the screws.

5Operation
Check the condition of the rope (⑥) at
regular intervals.
On a regular basis, check that the parts
under load are secure and have not been
weakened by wear.
Make sure that the load-bearing capacity
is always set correctly.

6.1 Setting Down the Load
Danger!
When setting down a load,
hold the rope tight, e.g. on the
rope clamp (
⑤); otherwise, it
could fly back and cause inju-
ries.
7Service
Danger!
Servicing work must only be
carried out by qualified people
who have been tasked with this
work.
7.1 Maintenance
Note!
The balancer is
maintenance-
free.
If particularly heavy loading makes it nec-
essary to carry out repairs, contact cus-
tomer service (see Chapter 1.2 CUSTOMER
SERVICE).
7.2 Cleaning
Always keep the rope and the area round
the rope draw-in device clean.
7.3 Repairs

Only the manufacturer or a
qualified service engineer are
allowed to replace springs.
Under no circumstances try to carry out
repairs yourself.
