XLNT To Launch DS8 Solid State Motor Controllers

18 may 2008

A new and advanced hoist motor control system will be unveiled at PLASA09, where XLNT Advanced Technologies launches its new PowerMotion DS8 Pro and Pro Plus Series Solid State Motor Controllers.

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.
