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.
