6.6 Lifting force limiter
a) In case of an overload, the lift’s upward travel
should be blocked, and a buzzer should sound in
the connection cabinet.
DANGER!
Attempting to go up in an
overloaded lift is prohibited!
b) Remove enough of the load to make the buzzer
stop and enable upward travel.
WARNING!
On entering and starting the lift, the buzzer
may sound briefly. This is due to temporary
load peaks occurring as the lift takes off.
The control box is designed not to activate the buzzer
or stop the lift because of peak loads caused by the
cabin swinging.
If the problem persists have an AVANTI expert adjust
the overload limiter (Appendix A).
