Guys,
Am looking for supply connection data for a Demag electric chain hoist.

3 phase, and am thinking its U1 V1 W1 on the terminal rail but just wanted some conformation from someone who has recently connected one up.
Been looking at interweb but no joy for any tech docs.

Most grateful for any pointers.

Thanks in anticipation

U1, V1, W1 are the motor windings (slow speed windings in a dual wound motor where U2, V2 and W2 are the fast speed windings).

Are you just providing a supply or connecting it to power. Demag I have on site I just supplied protection (CB) and then a isolator with 3 phase and earth. I do not think there was a neutral but I am sure this could vary. The Demag tech did the rest and commissoned. Then I take over afterwards.

I found loads of DEMAG docs or pdf's online.

It's a 2nd hand unit and I just need to fit a length of cable on it to try it - before the prospective owner parts with the readies to the seller.
There's some Demag stuff online but not for the model I'm looking for. It all seems to be about the DC PRO models with an electronic control card inside, wheras the one I am looking at is a straight 2 speed model with a 110v control side for the pendent.
Any links would be useful if you have them.
I would have thought that L1 L2 L3 would have been marked but there's nothing on the terminals to suggest this. I am now wondering if the supply should be connected directly to one of the contactor terminals.

There are many different types, finding the diagram you are looking for
is difficult.

Just in case, the factory inspector comes around if you sell/buy it:

Thanks for the info.
I contacted DEMAG UK and they sent me a schematic pdf for the PK-10 model which differs only in the pendant type.

I connected up the supply directly to contactor K024 (contactors are marked as per drawing).

Hoist will not function from the push buttons but I can operate the motor by operating the contactors manually. Everything functions ok ( UP/DOWN HI-LOW speeds) but no joy from the p/b station. The push buttons are fed via 110V transformer and the control fuse isn't blown.

Am assuming that there is an open cct on the control side due to either a broken core in the pendent cable, or there is some kind of interlock. I cannot find anything resembling an ON/OFF switch or E/stop on the P/B station, nor are there any up/down limit switches present.
I recall from previous experience that the older models relied upon a slipping clutch arrangement to cater for overtravel of the chain, and that no up/down limit controls were fitted.

I wonder if anyone can advise further as to where any on/off control s/w mechanism for the 110V control side might be located on this particular model.

As you will recall, this model is a PM 8NF, where the pendent/control station cable is coiled around the chain run, and the pushbutton station forms part of the hook assembly.

Further comments on the above would be much appreciated.

You probably have a break in the control voltage to the handset (probably a broken wire in the coiled cable), you should be able to check this voltage in the handset probably to the e-stop first (IIRC it's on the top front face of the handset, it should be there as this is a mandatory item). If this was ok I would expect at least one of the contactors to operate. Check also the 0v common on the contactor coils.

I agree.
Given there is no seperate E/Stop button on the control station, it has to be an O/C somewhere on the 110V control side of things.

The P/B station looks like this, but without the E/Stop.

The hoist is an old type (1987) rather than the one in the picture.
