two different ways of setting parameters to match specific applications:
● Dynamic factors such as speed, acceleration and deceleration can be programmed or functions can be switch‐
ed on and off using the control pendant. The parameters are programmed using the control pendant in connec‐
tion with the 7-segment display on the bottom of the chain hoist or the travel drive unit.
● Further parameters may be modified and/or system statuses and operating data can be recorded using the op‐
tional parameter-programming set (items 2 -5, 7, 8) in connection with a laptop or by using the keypad termi‐
nal.
