1.2 Safety instructions -
THINGS TO DO:
•Place the controller in a protective cover (if a standard protective cover is not provided).
•Manipulate the controller with the handles located at front or on sides.
•Store the controller in its normal working position sheltered from aggressive environments (dust, humidity,
etc).
•Make sure the controller is systematically clean and free from corrosion.
•The installation of the controller must be carried out by a skilled technician.
•Make sure that connecting cables are in good condition and that the connectors are properly installed.
•Make sure connecting cables are always installed symmetrically.
•If the hoist direction does not correspond with Up / Down signals on the controller, check intermediary wiring
and change two phases.
•If none of the hoists correspond with signals, change the phases using the inversion device in the CE plug or
the reversing switch (careful to cut power beforehand).
•Only use authentic spares to replace parts.
•Always be ready to hit the emergency stop button during operations. All functions shall then be disabled.
•Before starting, make sure that the load is properly secured and installed on the hook. The safety latches must
be properly closed.
•Make sure the load is well balanced before moving it.
•Make sure that each hoist is perpendicular with the load and that it hangs freely on its chain before starting
any simultaneous action.
•If the system is used in the open air, use adequate guards against inclement weather.
•Operate the equipment under standard working conditions (ambient temperature, environment, etc.).
•The handling of single items or sets of beams must be entrusted to experienced operators.
•Take all necessary precautions to ensure the load is evenly distributed and avoid overloading any singe hoist
in the case of multiple use. Each hoist must be carefully checked before such use.
•Inform the supervisor of any dangerous functioning or of one which is not reassuring.
(Abnormal noise, abnormal behaviour, etc.).
Equipment used in the open air must be protected as much as possible from inclement weather.

THINGS NOT TO DO:
•Never connect a STAGEMAKER controller control unit to any power source other than that indicated on the unit.
•Only set down the controller on an adequate support in order to avoid damaging the components located at the
rear.
•Never modify the controller without the maker having first studied and authorized the modification.
•Never modify the settings and adjustments of safety devices beyond the limits set out in the manual or without the
maker's authorization.
•Never try to repair or carry out any special operation on the controller without the authorization of the maker or a
skilled electrician.
•Never allow any unqualified person to use the controller.
•Never connect a number of hoists greater than the number of available outputs (channels) or the number of
available selectors.
•Do not use additional distribution boxes to connect several hoists per channel.
•Avoid shocks or accidental collisions with other objects.
•Never open the controller when the system has power on.
•Never jam or lock the Start button to carry through a manipulation without manual control.
•Do not use the controller if the physical state of the operator will not allow it.
•Never use the controller if it is in bad condition.
•Never use unauthentic spare parts or those suspected of being so.
•Do not allow the controller to receive blows.
•Never distract the operator while he is operating the system.
•Do not use the controller for any function or in any zone for which it is not intended.
•Do not expose the controller to any aggressive environment (temperature, acidity, etc.).
•Do not use safety items as operational items (emergency stop, main fuse, etc.).
•Do not use controls for no useful purpose (avoid very slow movements –repetitive stop-starts with buttons), that
can cause overloads or even damage the hoist.
•Do not change the direction of the hoist when the START button is held down (energized hoist)
•If the direction of the hoist does not match the display on the controller, do not modify phases inside the controller
but simply change two phases on the hoist motor or on the connection cables.
•Never use hoists that operate in the opposite direction to the selected travel movement.
•Do not connect the controller to any unknown electrical power supply; check that the power supply matches the
specifications of the controller and of hoists. (undervoltage or overvoltage +/- 5%, phase failure, etc.).

1.3 Warranty
Our STAGEMAKER controllers are guaranteed for one year as from the delivery date.
If a delivery delay were to occur for a reason outside the supplier's control, the said delay period will
not exceed three months.
If the operation (installation) of the controller is delayed, an extension of validity corresponding with
the warranty period should be requested (one unique extension limited to three months) and written
confirmation obtained.
The supplier undertakes to remedy all operating errors resulting from the design or manufacture or
from components or materials.
The warranty covers neither normal wear nor failures resulting from abnormal use. Furthermore, it
does not cover damage due to a lack of supervision, operating errors or incorrect use of the
controller, especially due to an overload, handling movements that are too slow, undervoltage /
overvoltage or errors of connection.
The warranty is inapplicable in cases of disassembly, modification or replacement of parts
(mechanical or electrical) by a non-authorized person or without our prior agreement.
The warranty applies only to original parts assembled in the factory.
During the warranty period the supplier undertakes to replace or repair in their workshop, free of
charge, parts that are ascertained to be damaged after inspection by a qualified and authorized
technical body.
The warranty excludes any other service or any other compensation. Repairs covered by the
warranty are generally carried out in the supplier's workshops or in those of an approved agent.
When work on equipment takes place outside the said workshops, labour costs for the disassembly
or assembly of those parts are borne by the supplier if the operations are carried out exclusively by
their personnel or by an approved agent. The replaced parts become the property of the supplier
and must be returned to them at their expense.
Relatively important components that are not manufactured by the supplier and that bear the brand
of specialist manufacturers are covered by the manufacturer's warranty (variable according to
manufacturer).
