3.6 Test run without load
Make sure that movement will not cause any danger to the environment or to the crane itself. Avoid
driving close to the limit areas.
Check limit switches manually if possible.
Check the run commands on the display panel and correct the hoisting direction. The arrow rotates
clockwise if S1 is applied and counter-clockwise if S2 is applied.
Drive direction S1 at minimum speed for 5 to 10 seconds. Accelerate to full speed. Run 5 to 10 seconds.
Stop. Repeat the same in direction S2. Check the frequency display to make sure that the frequency
changes through the whole operational frequency range from minimum to nominal speed.
Check motor operation (acceleration, deceleration and braking): accelerate to full speed direction S1,
change to full speed direction S2 and full speed direction S1 again and stop.
Check limit switch functions: drive direction S1 slowly and check the limit switch operations. Re-check
using full speed. Repeat the same check for direction S2.
3.7 Operational Checks – With Load
After completion of no-load operational tests, the user /owner should perform a full load test even though
each complete hoist is load tested at factory.
Lift a near capacity load about one (1) foot [30cm] above floor level. Check that the brake holds load.
Also, check stopping capability of brake when lifting to a stop and lowering to a stop.
Move trolley the full length of monorail or crane beam. Check for any binding of trolley wheels on flange
and/or interference at splice joints, hanger connections / bolts, etc.
Check contact with stops. Contact with stops SHALL only be made with trolley bumpers. Stops that are
designed to make contact with wheels SHALL NOT be used.
3.8 Test run with load
Make sure that movement will not cause any danger to the environment or to the crane itself.
Drive in both directions at minimum and maximum speeds.
3.9 Test run with overload
If an overload test has to be performed during crane commissioning, minimum frequency should be raised
for duration of the commissioning to 20Hz. Minimum frequency can be changed with parameters P1.1.4.
After testing, minimum frequency should be changed back to its original value.
3.10 After the test run
Record all parameter value changes in the parameter list.
Make sure all remarks and setting values are recorded.
NOTE: It is recommended to store the parameter settings in file User parameters,
see Section 5.5.8.1 User Parameters.
NOTE: The supply cable and main isolator switch must be supplied by the
customer.
