Wiring Guidelines - QuickTouch Preset

The following guidelines should be used for laying out control wiring for a QuickTouch Preset Rigging Control System.
  1. A QuickTouch Preset Rigging Controller has a single Motor Control Output for a maximum of 12 hoists.
    1. The total combined length of each Hoist Control run cannot exceed 500 feet [150 meters]
  2. Multiple MCX Nodes can be used with a QuickTouch Preset Rigging Controller to control a total of 96 hoists.
    1. A maximum of 12 hoists can be connected per Hoist Control wiring run connected to an MCX Node.
    2. The total combined length of each Hoist Control run cannot exceed 500 feet [150 meters].
  3. A QuickTouch Preset Rigging Controller has one E-stop station/SafetyLink port.
    1. A maximum of 3 E-stop Button Stations are allowed per E-stop run.
    2. The total combined length of each E-stop (ES) wiring run cannot exceed 500 feet [150 meters].
    3. The total combined length of each SafetyLink (SL) wiring run cannot exceed 500 feet [150 meters].
  4. A Handheld Remote Plug-in Station (HHR-PS) can be connected to the E-stop/SafetyLink loop to add a QuickTouch Preset Handheld (QTP-HH) controller.
    1. The total combined length of each E-stop (ES) wiring run cannot exceed 500 feet [150 meters].
    2. The total combined length of each SafetyLink (SL) wiring run cannot exceed 500 feet [150 meters].
  5. A QuickTouch Preset has a single Remote port. This port can be used with the Fixed Speed Remote Control (FSRC), Remote Go Button (RGOB).
    1. The total combined length of the Remote Control (RC) wiring run cannot exceed 500 feet (150 meters).
    Hoist Control, E-stop and Remote Control wiring must be installed in grounded metal conduit unless shielded cable (Cat5e STP or better) is used.

All Hoist Control, E-stop, SafetyLink, and Remote Control wiring runs should be Belden 1583A, or any Cat5e or better cable.
