Conventional applications

Your Consul lift has been design-tested in its basic concept, it offers you maximum economic efficiency and
safety. It is up to you to make use of these advantages.

A prerequisite for this is correct operation, perfect maintenance and good care of the lift. Please read these
operating instructions carefully. They provide you with all necessary data and show how simple it is to keep
your lift ready for use at all times.

Your Consul lift is only designed to raise automobiles or vehicles whose total weight does not exceed the
lifts’s maximum permitted load capacity and whose specified support points are within the lift’s support area.

All 4 locating points have to be used.


Your Consul lift is designed to raise motor vehicles. The carrying of people is not permitted. When using the
lift in lacquering plants or rooms in which a large amount of work is carried out with solvent-containing
materials, pay attention to the risk of explosion. In its standard form the drive is not protected against
explosion.

Safety devices
Your lift is equiped with several safety devices, to ensure workers safety, if the lift is used according to this
manual.

Please take care of this safety devices, when installing the lift and check them after any case of failure.

Only trained service people are allowed to repair this lift.

Only original parts are to be used for repair. If third parts equipment is used for repair, the CE certificate of
conformity will be avoided.

In accordance with the regulations regarding the operation of lifts, lift devices must be checked for their
operational safety by an expert at the latest after one year (LOLER).

Records must be kept of inspections.

In this respect please pay attention to ensuring that only company-trained experts, who have been instructed
in the function of lifts and who are in possession of a certificate from the manufacturing company, check
and accept your lift.

Operating and installation instructions
Consul 2.40 EL Multi XL Typ: H 327 / H 355

Supplementary help with the electronic controls

The operation of the controls using the PC communications software is only intended for service,
maintenance and repairs. Using this operation mode, safe working is not guaranteed. Operating in this
mode does not comply with the necessary demands of safe working practice! They are appropriate
precautions to be adhered to.

When altering the parameters using the PC communication software, it should be checked, by reselecting
and verifying the read data, whether the read data corresponds to the desired data.
The lift can then be put into operation and you should check whether the required limits are being adhered
to (test run).

You cannot infer the exact physical heights from the measured height values of the software. The readings
and the physical heights do not correspond when the lift is precisely levelled and the correct parameters for
the lift uploaded.

Beware:
All limits (upper and lower) and height differences are stored in N units (digital). The conversion into
physical units depends on the mechanical construction. The physical height is not defined by the controls as
it depends on the mechanical attachment of the potentiometer to the post. This offset is determined by the
system and must be allowed for when inputting the limits and parameters.
The controls simply assume that a reading of less than 3% from the end limit or more than 97% from the
end limit on the potentiometer indicates a sensor and they accept into the system all values greater than 3%
from the end and less than 97% from the end. As a routine maintenance measure (after one year at the
most) the operation of the D-channel must be checked.
For this the diagnostic function must be started. If the D-channel is defective then the controls must be
disabled or the control circuit board must be changed!

Beware:
When the D-channel is defective, the lift may appear to be working normally but its safe operation can no
longer be guaranteed!

Operating and installation instructions
Consul 2.40 EL Multi XL Typ: H 327 / H 355

Attention!
Important instructions for assembling the 2-Post-Lift!

1. The assembly should be carried out by qualified staff in accordance with the construction and operating
instructions (otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated).

2. Check that all parts have been delivered before commencing assembly.

3. Final installation checks must be carried out according to VDE instruction 0100.

4. Test instructions are to be complied with, in accordance with BGG 945.

5. Instructions for the foundations of the lift must be strictly observed.

6. Ensure that the spindle hangs vertically. To do this lift a vehicle a short distance, loosen them re tighten
the hex- head screws at the top of the columns.

7. Check the locking mechanism of the swing arm, then ensure that the bolt is vertical and parallel to the
front of the column.

8. Only ever fill the lubrication system with original Consul Spindle Oil.

9. The lift is preprogrammed in the factory and must be adjusted to local conditions. Check that the foot
protection facility is at the correct height (compulsory stop and signal tone).

10. Be aware of the alignment (outward lean) of the columns.

11. Check the gap between the steering frame and the tension band (correst and grease the back of the
tension band when necessary).

12. The self-securing swing arm screws only reach complete tightness after 24 hours (check for a gap of 1
to 2 mm between the screw head and the swing arm bearing)

13. Observe maintenance schedule (swing arms, spindles, bearings of turntable).

14. Only lift using all 4 swinging arms and only at the lifting points permitted by the manufacturer.

Practical use of the post-lifts


Switch the main switch to the "Ein" (on) position. Turn the control knob to move the lift in the direction
indicated by the arrows. On release of the control knob it returns automatically to the “off” position.

Operating the lift is only permitted by authorised persons!

According to the regulations for prevention of accidents, persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to
operate the lift without supervision.

The lift is designed only as a vehicle lift, it should not be used for other purposes.
See instruction on the lift column.

If there are any faults with the lift, turn off electricity, make safe, secure against unauthorised use and
contact the Consul Service Section.

See the operation label on the lift column!

Before lifting or lowering a vehicle check that nobody is in danger, that nothing is leaning against the vehicle
and no obstacles are underneath it.

Attention:
With some vehicles, higher lifting apparatus is necessary. As an necessary, a set (4) spacing bushes is
available. This ensures safe lifting of the vehicle.

When using a drive-on chassis, the chassis must be fully lowered before driving on to the lift.
The total vehicle weight must not exceed the authorised capacity and load dispatching.

In order to guarantee a safe lift of the vehicle it may only be lifted at all 4 lifting points as laid down
by the manufacturer. Check the safety of the lifting after having set up a little the vehicle.

Only original accessories may be used as load supporting devices (type tested parts), wooden blocks or
other devices for load lifting are not permitted. It is advidable that the vehicle should be driven on so that
the centre of gravity is between the lift columns (especially with the asymmetric swing arms).

Pay attention to the centre of gravity when working with heavy parts as it can cause the vehicle being raised
to fall. Only use the lift as intended: for lifting vehicles. Other, apparently practical uses are not among ist
intended purposes.

It is forbidden to use the lifts to raise heavy vehicle parts, eg, engines. The swing arms are fitted with
blocking devices which work automatically. These stop the swing arms moving after a short lifting distance
and release them again when lowered through 15 mm.

If the arms have to be swung to a greater height, eg, in order to place a vehicle on a bench, then a hand bolt
can be installed.

The quoted paragraphs are extracts: otherwise BGG945 is binding. The required tests are carried out by
Consul Construction Services according to the regulations. Please ask Consul Partners for thier reasonably
priced maintenance contracts.

Disposal of the post lift


The lift can be disassembled and be disposed only through an authorised specialist. The same regulations
must be considered, as when the assembling of the lift. For the case of scrapping, all materials must be
disposed in accordance with the laws of the appropriate country, in which the lift is installed.

The scrapping of the lift must be documented according to the country, in which this was installed.

Attention!

When loading/unloading, moving, installing, assembling or dimishing the lift all precautionary measures are
specified by rules for the prevention of accidents (safety helmets, gloves, shoes) are to be obeyed. These
rules are in accordance with the laws of the appropriate country.

Product description
The lift basically consists of the main column and a slave column. In both columns are to be found the lifting
spindles and the lifting carriages with load bearing apparatus.

The motor turns the lifting spindle. On the spindles are nuts which are attached to the lifting carriage which,
according to the turning direction of the drive, moves up or down and thus performs the raising and lowering
operation. The lifting carriage is borne on maintenance free roller bearings within the column.

In each column is a motor driven belt which turns the spindles. The even running of the lifting carriages is
ensured via an electronic synchronizing governor. Any lack of synchronization in the lifting carriages (eg,
because of an uneven load, lack of lubrication, etc) is regulated by the synchronization control to within a
distance of approximately 10 cm. The advancing lifting carriage is briefly stopped until the slower carriage
reaches the same height. This check may be observed several times in the course of the lift.

The lift is operated by activating the control switch in the desired direction of travel. It is stopped by
releasing the switch or when the lift reaches one of the electronically programmed top and bottom limits. For
safety reasons, the downward movement can be programmed to automatically stop at a height of 200 mm
(between the floor and the underside of the lifting apparatus). The lift must be manually re-started and
descends to the bottom limit accompanied by an audible warning tone.

The control switch reverts automatically to the stop position when released and the movement of the lift is
stopped. In addition, the lift is equipped with a variety of both passive and active safety devices. For
example; the safety device for broken load nuts which transfers the load to a reserve safety nut in the event
of a worn main nut. At the same time, a mechanical locking system is engaged which only allows the lift to
be lowered until the safety devices are repaired. This prevents unsafe operation of the lift.

The arm lock of the 6 to lift stops the load arms moving after travelling upwards approx. 15 mm from the
lowered position. This is to prevent the lift pads slipping from the jacking points of the vehicle. Be aware of
the correct alignment of the toothed quadrant!

The swing arm lock of the 3-4 to lift stops the load arms moving after travelling upward a short distance
from the lowered position. This is to prevent the lifting apparatus slipping from the jacking points on the
vehicle being raised. Operating safety is paramount!

The heat sensors in the drive motors stop the lift in the event of overheating and only allow the lift to restart
after a cooling down period.

The Post-Lift can only be driven with symmetrical bearing arms.A maximum capacity of only 4.000 kg and
a maximum weight distribution of only 3:2 is allowed.

The swing arms are all the same length on the symmetrical 2-Post-Lift and the vehicle to be lifted is to be
place in the drive-on direction in the middle of the lifts.

With the asymmetrical design, the bearing arms of different lengths. The shorter arms are normally located
at the front of the vehicle. The vehicle to be lifted is positioned so that the front door hinges are close to the
lift columns allowing the doors to open. It is desirable that the vehicle’s engine is towards the short swing
arm (the centre of gravity of the vehicle as close as possible to the centre of the lift)! All 4 lifting pads are
positioned at the jacking points specified by the vehicle manufacturer!

Foundation
The Consul Post-Lifts of the EL version is that of a „basefree“lift, therefore the floor fixing is critically
important. The entire loads (dead weight of lift and moving weight of vehicle) are transferred to the floor
through the anchor bolts.

Before installing the lift, it is necessary to ensure that the floor is adequate (see supplement anchoring for
lifts and BGG 945).

When installing the lift on a suspended floor, the floor’s suitability must be verified by a structural engineer,
or other competent person.

Only after checking the floor, can a decision be made about the appropriate fixing system.

The penetration depths of the anchors (anchors are not supplied) have to be followed (see instructions of
the anchor manufacturers). Otherwise the safety of the lift may be compromised.

The correct length (L) of the active part of the anchor bolt is obtained by adding the measurements „h“ +
thickness of the floorcover and height of the files and the height of the installation base. Drill size and the
thightening torque are in accordance to the bolt manufacturers instructions.

To achieve a perfect installation, the unbreakable concrete floor should be flat and level (min. C20/25, frost
proof) with the corresponding load capacity.

According to the type of anchor used for the 21+1 mm hole in


the base plate, the washers must be of sufficient size!

Installation and initial operation


In order to install a lift perfectly correctly the concrete must be flat and horizontal and have the required load
strength (minnimum C20/25). First of all the posts are set up on their positions. The interval dimensions of
the posts base plates can be seen from the corresponding drawing.

In accordance with EN1493 there must be a safety margin of 500 mm minimum between the lift
columns and any other obstacle (wall, etc) and, similarly, between any load to be raised and another
obstacle.

Following renewed checking of the set-up situation, the baseplate is dowelled through the existing drilled
holes (the floor braces must lie on with their entire surface!). According to the chapter “Foundation”, 12
anchor bolts M12 are required. Other anchor bolts can also be used that have been appproved for the
concrete by the building supervisory authorities, resp. for this region. Dowels are not supplied.

The lift columns should be vertical. In no account should they lean inward.
A slight outward lean ( up to 10 mm ) is desirable. If necessary extra shims can be placed between the
column base plates and the floor for levelling purposes.

In the slave post there are the cables which are connected to the main post. These cables are taken under
the floor the the main post by means of a hollow pipe provided on site. An overhead conduit can also be
provided through which the cables can be fed. When installing the cables it is important to ensure that the
wires are not mixed up! Before commencing the electrical work carefully read and observe the instructions
regarding initial installation (follwing pages)! For further questions, Consul Service is available.

The electrical installation for the lift must be carried out by an electrical engineer and according to the
enclosed circuit diagram and the VDE regulations 0100. The lift should operate in accordance with the travel
direction symbols when the main drive switch is activated. If necessary, change the direction of turn by
swapping aroung the 2 phases.

Important:
Protective conductor checks must be carried out following initial installation,
after reparirs. After alterations to the instllation, as well as prescribed undert
the VDE regulations 0100!

With the lift down pull the angled sides of the locking bars out from the lift until approximately 40 mm
remain on the other side. Grease the take-up bolts thoroughly. Turn the angle of the lower locking bar
upwards and fix it along with the swivell arm. Turn the below of the upper locking bar into the drilled hole
with a pair of pliers after the swing arm has been fitted.

The lift has to be lubricated at the column according to the lubrication schedule (following pages).
Securing of the lift apparatus (eg, swing armes) against being disconnected:

Secure the eye bearing with a hexagonal safety screw on the take-up bolt so that there remains a gap of 1
to 2 mm between the eye and the screw head.

Attention: The self-securing screws only reach complete turning security after 24 hours.
The guide brackets for the flexible cover must be sufficiently spaced from the column so that the flexible
cover does not catch and get damaged. The guide brackets may need to be adjusted

The spindles must be oiled and the spindle oilers on the lifting carriage are to be filled with Consul Spindle
Oil using the observation holes on the columns (order no: 24960.3)

Should there be a noise from the flexible covers when the lift is in drive then multi-purpose grease can be
applied to the back of the cover.

19
Operating and installation instructions
Consul 2.40 EL Multi XL Typ: H 327 / H 355

By doing a test run, check or reprogramme the limits and safety stop. After examination of the
function of the lift by experts, the start-up can take place.

The results of the check must be recorded in the check book.

Safety lock device (load nut failure)


Your lift is equipped with a safety lock that tops the lift operating once a load bearing nut has failed. For
explanation of the function of the safety lock device, please read the following drawing.

Fig. 2 and 3 show the position of the load bearing nut and respectively the safety nut with the angled safety
catch between the two nuts on the driving angles. The load carrying device are enclosed within the lifting
carriage and cannot be accessed from outside.

When running the lift in normal operation, there is a clearance between safety nut and carriage which allows
the safety nut to run unloaded.

If the thread of the load bearing nut is worn, the carriage falls on the safety nut and and activates the safety
lock which presses against the back wall of the column (see fig. 3).

If the lift is on the safety nut, it can be lowered. If the carriage is moved upwards again, the safety
lock catches on the bar on the back wall of the lift and stops the lift rising.

The locking mechanism must under no circumstances be disconnected.

If the lift stops about 10 mm above the ground level, the supporting elements are defect.

Load nut failures can only be repaired by qualified lift engineers!

To prevent load nut failure, the following check should be carried out periodically:
Load bearing nut testing
With safety nut „trapezoidal thread Tr 45x6”, available as special accessory (Ident-Nr.: 35416.7).

1. Remove the flexible cover so that the load nut can be seen in the carriage.
2. Using a bar, lift the carriage as and hold .
3. Fix the testing nut on the spindle, turn anti-clockwise until it touches the load nut
4. Lower the carriage
5. Measure the gap between the load nut and the testing nut with a gauge or vernier.
If the wear is over 1mm, the load nut must be replaced !

Description of the main board SGMX9


for EL-lifts
Overview:
The lift is equipped with an electronic control board.
The upper and lower limits can be adjusted to required circumstances.
The stored data can be adjusted to required circumstances.
The stored data is permanent and will not be lost when there is no power.

During the first installation of the lift, it is necessary to check the adjustment of the upper and lower
limits. If necessary, they have to be adjusted.

Required adjustments during installation:


Adjustment of lower and upper limits. Synchronisation of both carriages. Adjustment of the safety Stop when
lowering at a height of min. 200 mm above the ground.

Safety stop:
When lowering the lift, the carriages stop at the programmed point. After pushing the down button agains,
the carriages continue to the lower limit. You can hear the auditible warning noise during this operation.

Attention!
During programming the lift, the automatic limits do not work. – danger of collision in the upper and lower
limits-. Take care of approx. 15 mm overrun.

Initial installation:
Due to different local requirements and individual wishes, the different limits must be programmed.

Standard adjustments:

The lower limit: Between the lowest point of the arm and the ground, there should be at least
10 mm of space.
The upper limit: Between the base plate and the lowest point of ther arm, there should be
A max. difference of 1900 mm.
Safety stop: There should be a minimum of 200 mm between the lowest point of the arm and
the ground.

Preparation for the initial installation


During the initial installation of the arms, or after repair, these should be conducted approx. 15 mm over the lowest
position as in the normal case. The lower position drive can be carefully followed with the lever up/down in twice or
indiviudal drive.

Notice: The potentiometers are protected against mechanical breakage by means of a mechanical
end stop. It is possible, that the lower limit cannot be reached by using the motor. In this case,
the potentiometer has to be dismounted and the carriage should be lwoered by turning the pulley
on top of the lift. When reaching the lower limit of the carriage, turn the potentiometer clockwise
until you reach the mechanical end stop. After that, turn it back half a turn.

In the lower lifting carriage position the path transitter pinion when unlocked is turned clockwise (seen from
above) until it reaches the mechanical Stopp, then turned back half a turn. With light pressure it will then
return to the locked position and the M6 safety screw of the path transmitter mounting is again secured.
Make sure there is an undamaged spring wahser under the screw head.

Activation / Diagnostic Functions


INSTRUCTION: The lift should be in the middle position in order to allow the necessary travel up and down during the
test.

Activation of the diagnostic function using the code switch position 8, and pressing the “enter” button.
On connecting, both LEDs will flash red / green and the buzzer will sound intermittently.
The control requires the button to be pressed for up.

Press the AUF (up) button. LED1 will show red. LED2 goes out. The safety circuit is checked. If this is all
correct, LED1 goes out – LED2 shows red and the electronic relays for upward travel are set in motion. The
lift goes up – both LEDs show red.

Press the AUF (up) button until the lift stops automatically. Release the button – both LEDs flash orange /
green.

Press the AB (down) button, LED1 shows orange – LED2 goes out. The safety circuit is checked. If this
contains no faults LED1 goes out- LED2 shows orange and the relays for downward travel are activated.
The lift travels downwards – both LEDs shows orange.
Press the AB (down) button until the lift stops automatically.
Release the button – both LEDs flash green.

Place the code switch in position 0 – press the enter button once – both LEDs show green – test
okay - activation of the PC circuit board successful.

If the test runs successfully, a corresponding entry is registered with EEPROM. The lift can only be used normally in
position “0” after the successful completion of this test.

If a fault occurs during the test the lift cannot be used in the position “0”. A rerun of the test is only possible after
cutting the mains voltage and repeating the above procedure.

Potentiometer Test

Testing the potentiometer against values in the relevant range of values.


Description:
Activation of this operating mode by turning the potentiometer to position 7 and pressing the enter button.
If the reading of the main pillar potentiometer is in the relevant range, LED1 will flash green. If the reading is greater
than 97% it will flash red. If it is less than 3%, it will flash orange.
If the reading of the slava column potentiometer is in the relevant range, LED1 will flash green. If the reading is greater
than 97% it will flash red. If it is less than 3%, it will flash orange.

Malfunction Indication
Position 0: Normal operation
Both LEDs show green if no buttons are pressed.
If the Aufwärts (up) buttons are pressed both LEDs show red.
If the Abwarts (down) buttons are pressed both LEDs show orange.

The following faults are possible:

PROBLEM: Both LEDs show red


REASON: A fault has occurred in EEPROM
SOLUTION: The parameters must be reduced through the jumpers, and then the control mechanism must be retuned.
If this does not work, the control mechanism must be replaced.

PROBLEM: Both LEDs flash orange / green at the same time

Emergency lowering
Important:

During the emergency lowering procedure the automatic end limits are switched off. It is possible to drive the lift into
the floor causing damage.

Notes:

The procedure described below for the emergency lowering of the lift may only be undertaken by authorised, trained
personnel. A second person should watch the procedure from outside the operating area to ensure the safety of the
operator and vehicle.

The emergency lowering procedure must be terminated immediately, if any danger should arise. Restarting the
emergency lowering procedure should begin again once the cause of the danger has been removed. It is only possible
to lower the lift once, making sure that the bad carrying parts do not touch the floor.

Operating the emergency lowering procedure:

Emergency lowering using the motors can be necessary if the electronic controls fail. If other elements fail, then the lift
should be lowered manually (by turning the bolt on the large pulley).
The main switch must be on the „off“position.

The screws should be inserted into the two contactors and locked into position (as shown in the diagram) to enable
emergency lowering.

If the two sides are not synchronised then by locking only one contactor, the arms can be brought on the same level.
Extreme care must be taken and levelling should be done in small steps.

Locking the contactors

Through mecanical locking of the contactor,


the emergency lowering can be carried out.

Warning: No automatic end switching-off

When the maximum necessary lower position


of the load carrying equipment has been
reached, the emergency lowering can be
stopped immediately. The lift can be used
again, only after removing of all defects by
authorised personnel.

Maintenance and service


Before any maintenance the lift should be isolated from the electricity supply and protected from any
unauthorised use!

Thorough maintenance is essential if your lift is to have a long working lift and be constantly ready to give
good service.

The lift is equipped with a lubricator, which has a supporting effect on the lubrication of the spindle and the
nuts. In certain conditions (e.g. increased employment, low temperature, etc.) the spindle has to be lubed
separately. We recommend original Consul Spindle Oil. It is not allowed to use grease because the wick
may plug. At least once a month you should check that the oil provision is sufficient.

After installation and commissioning there may be some stretching of the power transmission elements,
depending on the type of lift. For example, stretching of the drive belt, chainds or calbes, consequential
adjustments, adjustments to the safety systems, etc. These changes do not constitue wear and tear of the
parts. They are routine aspects of running in and must form part of the customer’s maintenace and care.
With lack of care break downs can occur which are not occur which are not covered by the guarantee. In
this case, any costs airsing may have to be borne by the customer.

The swing arm joints must be greased when necessary and at least quarter yearly (oil underneath the safety
screws). Where lifts are exposed to the weather, the lubrication programm should be doubled (see the
lubrication instructions on the main column). The load bearing apparatus must always be kept in working
condition. The buffer points must be kept clean and greased-free. The spindles of the turntables must be
greased. They must not be able to unscrew themselves completely.

Lubrication system
Installation:
1. Remove the cove plate at the rear of the column.
2. Drive up the lift until approx. 440 mm (Floorlevel upto bottom edge of
location bolt for lifting arm), so that the carriage will stop between the
upper roller bearing and the safety lock device – the oil tank will be
visible in the maintenance opening.

Important!
Before carrying out any work at all on the lift, always disconnect it from
the mains electricity supply and ensure that no unauhjorised personnel
can use it.

3. Fill the oil container with oil (we recommend lubrication SAE 20). The
flat wick should be secured about 20-25 mm over the oil container with
a safety needle and fitted pointing downwards. Please check during
assembly!

4. Clamp the oil container to the carriage. Repeat this procedure on the
column. Then check the correct position of the oil container again!

5. Now replace the cover plates and connect the lift to the mains agains.

Check the oil at regular intervals. To do this, remove the cover plate and
raise the carriage so that the oil container is visible through the opening.
Disconnect the lift from the mains supply. Check the oil level and top up with
oil if necessary.

Mechanical syncronisation device 409524

The brake pad at the motor holder plate must be


prestressed by the hexagon screw, in such a
manner that the spindle on the big v-ribbed belt
pulley can be turned with approx 10-12 Nm (types
2.30, 2.35 und 2.40, H300/H400/H327) or 20 Nm
(types 2.60, H331 - with the lifting arms hung in)!
This corresponds approximately to the force
required to turn the pulley with one hand.
(Attention: Please loose the spindle guide before
adjusting the mechanical syncronisation device!)

Ribbed drive belt

When the motor cover is removed and the lift is without load then the big belt pulley
should be rotatable by hand (rough-running). Die properly tension of the belt is 220 – 240
Hz. During operation 195 - 220 Hz.

Spindle guide

After the mechanical synchronization device (on the motor holder plate)
is adjusted, the spindle guide has to be adjusted too.
For this the hose clamp at the spindle guide (position 4) must be
torque down.
After the adjustment of the hose clamp the spindle should rotate
on the top with a resisting torque of 20 Nm. Please check the torque,
after a test run, and if necessary repeat the procedure.
