Included Safety Features
Deadman Operation Movement Controls
Deadman controls only allow movement of hoists to commence and continue while the Execute Move
pushbutton is pressed. When the pushbutton is released all movement will come to a complete controlled
stop.
Emergency Stop
A red EMERGENCY STOP mushroom head pushbutton is located on each M Series control station. (There
may also be additional remote Emergency Stop locations installed). Pushing the button will disable all motor
drives through the Emergency Stop circuit and set all motor brakes. All motion of the attached loads on each
Vortek hoist immediately stops and inhibits all further movements until reset.
The Emergency Stops should ONLY be used for real emergencies or when required to disable the Daktronics
control system from inadvertent usage.
Vortek Back-Up Brake
This secondary mechanical braking system is designed to hold the rated load in the improbable case of
a failure of the primary motor brake or gearbox. This system is fully mechanical and acts independently of
any electrical inputs on the system.
