Emergency stop function
In an emergency, the Hydro Magnet can be safely shut
down by switching off the carrier.
DANGER Danger to life through electrical voltage
There may exist dangerous voltages up to max. 45sec-
onds in and close to the system after switching off the
carrier.
u Only touch the Hydro Magnet when the voltages are
degraded.
6.3 Functional test
Prior to commissioning, the load capacity of the magnet
plate has to be checked by a dynamic load function test
with the material to be lifted.
n
Prepare a test load: nominal load x 1.1.
n
Lift the Hydro Magnet.
n
Check on Hydro Magnets M version that the chains
are not twisted. This may limit the life span. Lower
the Hydro Magnet again, when the chains are
twisted. Switch off the carrier and remove the twist.
n
Position the magnet plate in the center of the test
load, at an area as straight as possible.
n
Briefly press the control button.
n
Lift the load slowly and slowly rotate the boom.
n
It must be possible to lift the load without difficulty. No
parts of the test load may fall off the magnet plate.
n
Make sure that:- this is done without difficulty,- no un-
usual noises are heard,- no deformation and - no
yielding of the structure can be seen.
- this is done without difficulty,
- no unusual noises are heard,
- no deformation and
- no yielding of the structure can be seen.
n
Switch off the Hydro Magnet immediately, if defects
in functioning occur. Switch off the carrier.
Only operate a Hydro Magnet if it has no functional
defects.
n
Repeat the load function test with full lift speed and
turn the boom. Lift the load about 1m above ground
surface.
n
LED6 (Red error indicator) may not light up.
n
Consult the Epiroc Customer Center / Dealer in your
area if LED6 lights up.
n
Briefly press the control button again, if no defects in
functioning occur.
The lifted load drops.
n
Only use a Hydro Magnet operating without func-
tional defects.
