Rigging System Power Injector (RSPI)

A QuickTouch+ Mk2 Rigging Controller requires at least one fixed speed hoist in the system to provide power to the QuickTouch+ Mk2. If a fixed speed hoist is not present in the system a Rigging System Power Injector (RSPI) can be used to power the QuickTouch+. The RSPI is installed between the QuickTouch+ Mk2 Rigging Controller and the first Power and Control device.
