Before putting the system to use we need to understand a little more about the
Mechanisms.
AF
T
Each Electro Kabuki Mechanism incorporates the following useful features:-
Their purpose of each is as follows:-
In the safe position the catch restricts the full movement of the load hook when the
R
has functioned correctly, but not enough to release the drape. This is useful for 2
reasons:-
D
1. It is an important safety feature which allows the user to prevent accidental release
of the drape until such time as release is desired.
2. It is a good way of testing the system without carrying out a full drape release.
The blue LED indicates the position of the safety catch when power is connected to the
position the LED is solid.
