Procedure for Mains Electricity Activated Electro Permanent Lifting Magnets
Posted on July 11, 2016

The control box EP-C30 for electro permanent
lifting magnets is
different from EPB-C30. EP-C30 is the control for Mains Electricity Activated Electro Permanent Lifting
Magnets or a lifting system with a few modules, while the EPB-C30 is for Battery Activated Electro
Permanent Lifting Magnet System.
In order to allow the user to easily read the operation steps at any time, EP-C30 is printed with a
brief Operating Procedure at its front panel. It is as follows:
- Select “ADJUST LIFT CAPACITY” to “MAX” except for stacked thin sheets, and then turn on the
“POWER” switch.
- Press “MAG” button - “PARTIAL MAG(LIFT PERMIT)” would light up in orange and an intermittent alarm would
sound. The lifting magnet now would only have partial lifting capacity.
- Hoist the lifting magnet with the load - the orange light for “PARTIAL MAG(LIFT PERMIT)” and the alarm sound
should be off in a few seconds. Meanwhile, “FULL MAG” lights up, indicating full lifting capacity has been reached. IF NOT, STOP THE LIFTING.
- After the lifting magnet and its load have been landed on the ground, simultaneously press “DEMAG”
and “UNLOCK DEMAG” buttons to release lifting magnet from its load.
If there is a continuous alarm sound, stop the lifting operation immediately and call Armstrong
Magnetics at 1-800-965-4968.
