Terminology
Controllers
For hoisting applications, type XK
Controller
The controllers are units designed to control hoisting and materials handling
equipment by grouping their electrical circuits.
They comprise adaptable sub-assemblies that enable the construction of many
different versions.
Used in association with automation system equipment, they ensure the starting,
acceleration and braking of the drive motors.
They are designed for fitting into portable controller stations or controller desks. The
mounting is dust and damp protected.
Articulated mechanical assembly that holds the control lever, lever gate, actuating
mechanism, cam carriers, contacts and potentiometer adaptation device.
Mechanical block
Control lever
Operating device that enables separate or simultaneous control of the movements.

Fitted to it are dust and damp protecting bellows, the handle and mechanical and
electrical safety devices that are actuated when the controller lever is returned to its
zero (centre) position.
Lever gate
2 types of lever gate:

b Standard types:
v universal: allows the lever to move to its maximum travel in 1 or 2 directions
simultaneously (universal or 8-direction controller),
v cross or I gates: only allow the lever to move to its maximum travel in 1 direction
at a time.
Standard lever gates
universal
cross
18 12 6 0 6 12 18
b Special types: related to the application, they are used to control the required
combination of movements.
Examples of special lever gates
End stops
Additional devices for limiting the lever travel to a number of positions in a given
direction.
Handles
a Simple handle: fixed knob screwed onto the control lever.

b1 Handle with zero (centre) position mechanical interlock.
Operation:
The knob of the handle comprises a fixed part (upper section) and a moving part
(lower section).
When the lever is in the zero (centre) position, it is mechanically locked by a sliding
rod within the lever.
To disengage the lock, the lower part of the handle is pulled upwards thus freeing the
rod.
b2 Handle with zero (centre) position mechanical interlock + electrical contact.
Mechanical operation identical to that described above.
When the lever is in the zero (centre) position, the rod actuates a contact block.
The disengagement of the lock causes the contact(s) in the block to change state.
b1
b2
c1 Dead mans handle.

Operation:
The knob of the handle comprises a fixed part (lower section) and a moving part
(upper section).
When the upper section of the knob is pushed downwards it pushes a sliding rod
within the lever.
This rod actuates a moving bowl which, in turn, causes a contact block (located in
the lower part of the mechanism) to change state and remain in this condition
irrespective of the control lever position.
c2 Handle with built-in flush or projecting pushbutton (audible alarm type).
Mechanical operation identical to that described above.
The handle is fixed and it is only the pushbutton that operates the sliding rod.

Direction
A
This is the direction of operation of the control lever away from its zero (centre)
position towards one of 2 or 4 directions (either 2 directions directly in line or 4
directions at 90).
Diagonal movement is the operation of 2 directions simultaneously.

The movement is the combination of 2 directions either side of the zero position that
are directly in line.

AB and CD
Electrical position
This is the change of state of a contact block obtained by angular displacement of

the control lever.
Types of lever movement

0
Three different types of lever operation for each direction:

1 Notched positions, with stayput operation.
The control lever is moved notch by notch from its zero (centre) position to its
maximum travel position in the required direction.
The lever maintains its position when the operator releases the handle.
2 Notched positions, with spring return to zero operation.
Notched operation identical to that described above but with an automatic device that
returns the lever to its zero (centre) position when the operator releases the handle.
3 Unnotched positions, with spring return to zero operation.
The control lever of the controller is moved from its zero (centre) position to its
maximum travel position in the required direction without notching.
Irrespective of its position, the lever spring returns to the zero (centre) position when
the operator releases the handle.
Electrical contacts
When designing the scheme take into account that all contacts are closed until
actuated (opened) by an operating cam.
Cam schemes
The contact blocks are actuated by a series of various length cams which are
arranged to provide the required scheme.
These cams can either be:
v variable composition, i.e. comprising different sub-assemblies mounted on a cam
carrier,
v predetermined, i.e. for a function that is widely used in conventional schemes.
Example: reversing cams for direction of operation.

Cam carriers
Mechanism designed for mounting cams on for controllers with variable composition
cams.
Cam actuation of contacts
When actuated by the cam lobe, the contact opens thus ensuring positive opening
operation. Therefore, the presence of a cam corresponds to the absence of a cross
or line on the scheme.
Example of graphic representation of a scheme

The various methods for indicating the operating sequence of the contacts are
represented by schemes in accordance with IEC 113-4 or IEC 337-2A (section 2).
The ordering grids for XK controllers are designed in accordance with IEC 337-2A
(section 2).
Take particular note of the way an assured electrical overlapping is represented as
is shown for contacts 2 and 4 between positions 2 and 3 (see diagram to left).

Notes:
Movement AB
The scheme for movement AB requires 7 contacts, therefore, select 4 blocks of 2 contacts.
The only alternative is the selection of either drum n 3 or n 1, depending on the available space.
Movement CD
The space between each notch indicated on the 3 position scheme cannot be adhered to.
Effectively, to obtain 5 contacts, a 2-contact block can be selected (drum n 2), which does not increase the size of the base, together with
2 x 2-contact blocks (drum n 4).
The lever gate will limit the lever travel to 3 notches.

Presentation
The control devices being used in hoisting equipment have played a major role in
their rapid development. Increased speeds, acceleration and deceleration have
considerably improved the performance and capabilities of hoisting equipment, but it
is important to ensure that this advancement does not effect the safety of persons or
material by reducing to a minimum the effort required by the operator, in order to
avoid fatigue.
Portable controller station type XJP A
It is therefore essential that the operator not only has controllers that are easy to
operate, accurate and robust enough for intensive duty hoisting applications (types
XKB, XKD and XKM) but also, that these controllers are located in a zone with
particularly easy access, referred to as the comfort zone.
Scientific research regarding working conditions and the relationship between

operators and their workstations has revealed that comfort is imperative and this has
been taken into account in the design of the ergonomic Telemecanique controller
desks type XJC (registered design).
Rotating controller desk type XJC D
The controller desks are available in both rotating (1) and fixed versions. For both
versions, a standardised range of enclosures of various widths enables requirements
to be met not only for installation in cabins of heavy hoisting overhead cranes,
where space is not usually restricted, but also in cabins of tower cranes and public
works equipment where space is often very restricted.
The various control units (controllers, wobblesticks, pushbuttons, pilot lights,

indicators, etc.) are installed on standardised removable top plates, thus avoiding
making cut-outs directly on the controller desk itself.
(1) For safety and ergonomic reasons (relating to stability), the rotating mechanism used is of the
frictional type. However, for certain applications a roller bearing mechanism can be used on
request. Please consult your Regional Sales Office.

in each direction;
This unit is particularly designed for light hoisting equipment or auxiliary functions.
XKB A for light hoisting applications

109230-34-
XKD: controller with variable composition schemes, depending on requirement, with

16 contacts per movement.
This unit is particularly designed for medium hoisting equipment or auxiliary
functions.
b XKM: controller with variable composition schemes with 24 contacts per

movement, to meet the intensive duty requirements of heavy industry.
This unit is designed exclusively for controller desks XJC.
109231_33_M
XKD F for medium hoisting applications
Note: in order to fulfil the ergonomic requirements of the user, controllers XKM used in control
desks must be fitted with short control levers.
Note: whenever the terms right-hand or left-hand are used in this catalogue, reference is
