Linking multiple hooks to a single eMINI or eINST device is a straightforward process that enhances operational efficiency, especially in applications requiring simultaneous lifting from multiple points. This method is particularly beneficial in scenarios such as vessel loading and unloading, where multiple hooks can be attached to a spreader to facilitate the handling of large bags. Additionally, it is applicable for motorized clamps used in lifting rails, plates, pipes, and other loads that necessitate coordinated multi-point lifting.
To successfully link different hooks, it is crucial to understand the operating logic of the eMINI/eINST. Unlike the eMAX model, the eMINI does not retain the serial numbers of the hooks. Instead, each hook is programmed to recognize and respond only to the commands from the specific eMINI or eINST it is paired with. This unique feature ensures a secure and efficient operation.
To link multiple hooks, follow these steps sequentially for each hook:
1. Prepare the Hook: Press and hold the hook button while inserting or powering on the battery. This action prepares the hook for the linking process.
2. Listen for Beeps: Once powered, the hook will emit a series of consecutive beeps. This indicates that it is ready to be linked.
3. Release the Button: After the beeping sequence, release the hook button.
4. Initiate Linking on eMINI/eINST: Simultaneously press the OPEN and CLOSE buttons on the eMINI/eINST. This action signals the device to begin the pairing process.
5. Confirmation Beep: The hook will emit a confirmation beep, followed by a second beep once the linking process is complete. This confirms that the hook is successfully paired with the eMINI/eINST.
6. Repeat for Additional Hooks: After verifying that the first hook is linked correctly, repeat the above steps for any additional hooks you wish to connect.
For optimal results, it is advisable to use only one battery at a time and ensure that only the hook intended for pairing is powered on during the process. This minimizes potential interference and ensures a smooth linking experience.
There is no limit to the number of hooks that can be linked to the same eMINI/eINST.
To link more than one eMINI to the same hook, please refer to the following article, where you will find a detailed step-by-step guide on how to perform the procedure.
For further details, a comprehensive guide on the eMINI/eINST linking procedure can be found in the corresponding technical article. By following these steps, you can efficiently link multiple hooks to your eMINI, enhancing your lifting operations and improving overall productivity.
