The "Emergency STOP" Pushbutton must not be designed to be used for normal operation of the crane power-off. "Emergency STOP" Pushbutton must be red "Twist-to-Release" mushroom style with e-stop guard to prevent accidental activation. Label emergency stop pushbuttons as "EMERGENCY

k. Remote (Radio) Control: Provide a "Remote (Radio) Control Switch" on the console of the operator console to allow the operator to select either remote or local control. The selection of remote control must still permit only the use of the "STOP" pushbutton and the "Emergency STOP" pushbutton inside the operator cab. A blue pilot light must be provided on the operator control station console to indicate that cab control has been transferred to remote (radio) control.
l. Horn: Provide momentary pushbuttons to activate the horn
m. Floodlights: Provide 2-position switches to operate the floodlights
n. Alarm Silence: Provide momentary pushbuttons to allow the operator to temporarily (two minutes) silence all audible alarms (brake slip alarm and alarms associated with the high load and overload warnings).

When brake failure or slipping is detected based on encoder feedback the the drive must maintain the load in position and allow for lowering the load. Means of enabling, disabling, and adjusting the sensitivity of the brake failure alarm must be provided with adjustable VFD parameters.

All limit switches must: be UL Listed; be constructed in accordance with NEMA ICS 5 ; be provided with nonventilated NEMA Type 4X enclosures constructed in accordance with NEMA ICS 6 ; and be mounted where they are readily accessible for adjustment and inspection by site maintenance personnel. Contact ratings must be not less than the maximum currents of the devices they switch. All limit switches must be the control circuit type and not interrupt power to the motor directly.
(1) Hoist Block Activated Upper Limit (Secondary Upper Limit).
Provide a normally-closed, momentary contact, weighted-lever type limit switch actuated directly by the lower blocks. Upon actuation of the limit, upward hoist movement must stop. When this limit is reached, hoist movement must be blocked in either direction.
Provide a local bypass switch installed on the hoist control panel to lower out of the secondary upper limit switch range. The secondary upper limit is used as back up limit if the upper rotary (primary) limit were to fail. The weighted upper limit switch must be set no lower than the height of the primary upper limit switch setting plus the primary limit runout distance, but not less than the secondary runout distance below the lowest contact point of the hoist or trolley structure (two-block condition). The runout distances are defined as the load block maximum drift, after switch activation, in the hoisting direction at maximum speed (ultralift selection, up to 200% of base speed) with no load on the hoist. Block activated upper limits are required on all hoists. Provide an alarm and associated means of indication in the operator cab for block activated upper limit switch actuation.
(2) Hoist Upper Rotary Limit (Primary Upper Limit). Provide a normally-closed, momentary contact, traveling-nut or rotating-cam rotary type limit switch, driven through gearing by the hoist.
Provide the rotary upper limit switch to allow the operator, when hoisting, to activate a first initial upper rotary limit switch that slows the hoisting speed down to 25 percent speed. Lowering out of the upper slowdown limit must allow for full speed. The initial setting of the slowdown limit must be approximately two feet below the rotary upper stop limit. Upon actuation of a second rotary limit, upward hoist movement must stop but the operator must still be able to lower the blocks out of the primary upper limit. When this limit is reached, lowering the load blocks must
SECTION 41 22 13.74 26 Page 20 automatically reset the limit switch. The primary upper limit switch must be set at the maximum practical load block height but still allow for the distances required for the secondary (block activated) upper limit. Rotary upper limits are required on all hoists.
(3) Hoist Lower Rotary Limit. Provide a normally-closed, momentary contact, traveling-nut or rotating-cam rotary type limit switch, driven through gearing by the hoist. Provide the rotary lower limit switch to allow the operator, when lowering, to activate a first initial lower rotary limit switch that slows the hoisting speed down to 25 percent speed. Raising out of the lower slowdown limit must allow for full speed. The initial setting of the slowdown limit must be approximately ten feet above the rotary lower stop limit. Upon actuation of the limit, lowering hoist movement must stop but the operator must still be able to raise the load blocks out of the lower limit. When this limit is reached, raising the load blocks must automatically reset the limit switch. Set the lower limit switch at the minimum practical load block height. No less than two wraps of rope must remain on the drum when the hoist lower rotary limit is reached. Rotary lower limits are required on all hoists.
(4) Trolley Travel. Provide a normally-closed, maintained contact, adjustable lever type limit switch, capable of being reset by reversing the movement of the trolley. When the limit is reached, trolley movement must decelerate to a maximum of 25% of rated speed (field-programmable between 10% and 30% of full speed). Provide limits on each end of trolley runway to prevent the trolley from running into the trolley end stops at full speed.
The trolley must be able to reverse out of the limit at rated speed or slow speed, if selected. Travel limits are required on all trolleys. Provide an anti-collision limit switch to prevent collision between the aux hoist trolley and the main hoist wire rope or lifting beam.
(5) Gantry Travel Limits. Provide a normally-closed, maintained contact, adjustable lever type limit switch, capable of being reset by reversing the movement of the gantry. Provide the north and south ends of the gantry travel runway with apparatus used to actuate the limit switches on the crane. The apparatus used to actuate the switches at end of the travel runway must be robust enough to handle car and truck traffic with no deformation.
Arrange the limit switch to operate reliably even when covered by 1/2 inch of ice. Provide initial limits on each end of the crane runway such that when the limit is reached, gantry movement decelerates to a maximum of 25% of rated speed (field-programmable between 10% and 30% of full speed). Provide limits on each end of crane runway. The gantry function must be able to reverse out of the limit at rated speed or slow speed, if selected. Provide a second limit on each end of the runway to stop the crane prior to reaching the end of the runway. Arrange the limit switches to utilize the overtravel capabilities of the switch to operate reliably even when the dog is covered by 1/2 inch of ice. The gantry must be able to reverse out of the stop limits at rated speed or slow speed, if selected.
b. All limit switch trip mechanisms must be new and connected as necessary to accommodate new limit switches. Submit arrangement, SECTION 41 22 13.74 26 Page 21 placement, and construction of the limit switches and trip mechanisms for approval.
c. Provide a spring-returned two position keyed bypass switch for each hoist to bypass the rotary (primary) upper limit. Locate the keyed bypass switch on the respective hoist control panel door, accessible without opening the panel. The right position (actuated position) of the keyed switch must allow bypassing of the hoist upper rotary limit and upper slowdown limit to allow the hoist block activated upper limit (secondary upper limit) to be tested. The left position (un-actuated, spring return) position of the bypass switch must be the "normal" position with neither limit being bypassed.
2.4 OPERATOR CONTROL STATION
