The XLNT DS8 Series: a whole new move in motor control

Europe's rigging rental firm Rigging Box and XLNT have signed an agreement about the purchase of XLNT Advanced Technologies' new DS8 Pro Plus Motor Controllers by Rigging Box.

After a carefull selection and discussions with Rigging Box' clients and users Rigging Box has chosen XLNT's new DS8 Pro Plus Motor Controller series and attached DSR 8x8 handheld remote as their future standard for operating their chain hoists.

The initial order consists of 65 (!) DS8 Pro Plus motor controller units, plus DSR 8x8 remotes, break-out boxes and cabling was recently signed between Rigging Box MD Jacco van Pel, Janneke Dormans and XLNT's Aart Gigengack.

Rigging Box will take delivery of their new motor controller inventory from Autumn 2009 and during 2010.

The DS8 Pro Series provides every essential option for controlling standard electrical entertainment chain hoists, with more advanced options and total multi-unit flexibility available in the Pro Plus version, including the separate DSR 8x8 64-motor hand remote. Both types offer a major benefit to professional riggers - maintenance-free reliability thanks to the solid state design.

Designed primarily for top-flight rental applications but equally suited to fixed installations, the DS8 Series is designed around the practical experience and requirements of leading riggers, to the rigging industry's highest standards of safety, protection and reliability.
Each DS8 Motor Controller can control up to eight Direct Control (DC) or Low Voltage Control chain hoists, and features a Solid State MCB per individual motor/channel plus adjustable maximum power output up to 9 Amps - an industry-leading output for hoists up to 4kW. The highest level of safety and protection is provided by the integrated PL D, ISO 13849-1, CWA 15902-1 and SIL2 compliant Emergency Stop System.
