3. Setup and Installation

The S-PCM is designed for straightforward installation. Ensure all safety precautions are followed during mounting.

3.1 Required Tools and Hardware

• Appropriate mounting hardware (bolts, screws, anchors) suitable for your wall or I-beam material (not included).
• Drill and drill bits (if mounting to a solid surface).
• Wrench or screwdriver set.
• Measuring tape and level.
• Safety glasses and gloves.

3.2 Mounting Instructions

1. Select Mounting Location: Choose a location that is easily accessible for crane operators and where the pendant cable will not obstruct walkways or machinery. Ensure the surface is structurally sound to support the S-PCM and the pendant.
2. Mark Drilling Points: Hold the S-PCM against the desired mounting surface. Use a pencil or marker to mark the positions for the mounting holes. The unit has pre-drilled holes on its mounting flanges.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using the appropriate drill bit for your mounting hardware and surface material, drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
4. Secure the Pendant Box: Align the S-PCM with the drilled holes and secure it firmly using your chosen mounting hardware. Ensure the unit is level and stable.
5. Attach Cable Support (Optional): The cable support arm can be attached to either the left or right side of the pendant box using the simple clip system. Slide the arm into the desired slot until it clicks into place. This allows for customization based on your specific cable routing needs.

4. Operating Instructions

Using the S-PCM is simple and intuitive, designed to streamline the storage and retrieval of your crane pendant.

1. Storing the Pendant: Gently place the crane pendant into the main box opening of the S-PCM. Ensure it rests securely within the enclosure. The partially open bottom allows for debris to fall through, preventing accumulation.
2. Managing the Cable: Loop the pendant's cable over the integrated cable support arm. Coil any excess cable neatly around the arm to keep it off the floor and prevent tripping hazards or damage.
3. Retrieving the Pendant: When ready to use the crane, simply lift the pendant out of the box and uncoil the cable from the support arm.

5. Maintenance

The S-PCM is designed for minimal maintenance due to its durable construction and powder-coat finish.

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the unit with a damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder-coat finish.
• Inspect Mounting: Annually, or more frequently in high-vibration environments, inspect the mounting hardware to ensure it remains tight and secure. Re-tighten any loose fasteners.
• Check for Damage: Visually inspect the S-PCM for any signs of physical damage, such as dents, cracks, or significant paint chips. While the unit is robust, severe impact could compromise its integrity. Replace if significant damage is observed.
