A: The typical incoming power to the controller is single phase 220VAC with a Full load Amperage of 15.
A: For larger commercial turntables that have 480V available, 480V is preferred.
A: 120V Incoming power source compatible controllers are available. Contact us for more.
A. The typical output power to the motor is 220VAC, Three Phase with a Full Load amp of 4.2.
A. We typically recommend running Qty: 2 – ¾” separate conduits to the motor pit. One for the motor power and the other for an encoder signal. However, size conduits per your local code.
A. We recommend a mounting distance of no more than 50 ft from your turntable.
A: Our controllers are rated for indoor applications, but outdoor controls are available upon request.
A: Depending on the model, our standard remote offers a range of 100ft line of sight. Extended range remotes available upon request.
A: -For a Standard Control Panel (CW/CCW movements) you will need 4 conductors from your control panel to the motor. 3 hot wires and 1 ground wire.
-For an MC3(photo studio) Control Panel or our parking positioning controllers, you will need a total of 8 conductors, 4 for the motor power and 4 for the encoder signal.
A. Yes! We can make small modifications to our standard equipment or completely one-off designs.
A. Dead Load: The load imposed by only the static weight of the equipment.
B. Live Load: The Load imposed by the payload (typically vehicle weight) plus the load imposed by the weight of the equipment.
A. Follow floor surveying procedure shown on document:
40SSV INSTALLATION SITE FLATNESS
or
55SSV INSTALLATION SITE FLATNESS
Maximum allowable slope is 3% for surface mounted turntables.
A. The maximum allowable slope is 3%.
A. This depends on the specific turntable style you are opting for, but standard turntables with steel, aluminum, or wood top surface require a 12.75” pit depth and turntables with a concrete top surface require a 20” pit depth with the exception of outboard driven concrete tables requiring a 15” pit depth.
B. The pouring process is laid out in document Carousel USA Best Practices Checklist
A. The maximum allowable slope is 8% and the bottom of the pit must be on the same slope (parallel) as the top edge surface to ensure a desirable flush and finished look.
A. Pour pit floor and curb, install turntable, install trim ring, grout pack mortar ring, pour last concrete.
*WARNING OPENING THE CONTROL BOX EXPOSES LIVE WIRING. ANY WORK PERFORMED INSIDE THE CONTROL BOX. IS DONE AT THE USER’S OWN RISK. TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK USE CAUTION WHENEVER WORKING NEAR EXPOSED WIRING OR CONNECTIONS.*
There is an interlock system on the red handle/yellow background switch. (On/Off switch).
A. Turn both the metallic disconnect shaft (attached to a black switch) inside of the enclosure and the red handle/yellow background switch on the front panel to the OFF position. (counterclockwise).
B. Check that the enclosure door lock (Opened/Closed with a coin or large flathead screwdriver) is not interfering.
C. Close the door and press down to fully seal the enclosure before you engage the enclosure door lock. Rotating this Clockwise.
D. Wait 30 seconds while the system powers down. Rotate the red handle/yellow on/off switch clockwise to power on the unit.
Is the Power (Green light) illuminated on the front of the control box?
A. Yes – Proceed to item 3.
B. No – Locate the electrical panel breaker that provides power to the control box to verify it has not tripped. In the event the breaker has tripped; reset the breaker and power on the controller.
C. Verify the problem has been resolved by using the remotes and/or the rotational switch on the control box to rotate the turntable clockwise and counterclockwise.
This represents that there is an active fault on the VFD inside of the controller.
A. Depending on the age of your equipment; you may be able to depress the red fault light on the front of the controller. This will clear the code temporarily and allow you to attempt to rotate the equipment once more.
B. If the problem persist:
Usually, non-functioning remotes are a result of weak or dead batteries in the remote control itself. A remote with healthy batteries will have an indicator light that is bright green or flashing red (depending on your model of remote). A remote with weak batteries will still have a rapidly blinking green light, however the color will be weak in strength/color or it will have a steady red light once depressed. A dead battery inside of the remote may not provide any indicator light at all. Replace batteries accordingly.
Please get in touch with Carousel USA if the problem persists, and we will be happy to assist you with troubleshooting over the phone. If we cannot resolve the issue over the phone due to the discovery of a part failure or an unknown malfunction, we can assist with setting up a service appointment with one of our factory-trained technicians.
Our factory trained technicians will have parts on hand for replacement and help resolve any issues you are experiencing. Mobilization charges for your onsite technician may vary based on the location of your equipment.
Most turntables come with this control type as default, allowing for simple clockwise/counterclockwise rotation and variable speed with support for wireless remote operation.
For smaller turntables that can still accommodate automobiles, this control type comes standard. It eliminates the need for complex 240V electrical installations by including a pre-installed 120V wall outlet power cord. This convenient plug-and-play solution makes setting up your turntable a breeze.
This control type is ideal for our most compact turntable models. It’s perfectly suited for smaller displays like Christmas trees, art installations, and even creating 360-degree product views for online marketplaces.
This control type comes standard with our parking sliders. It enables smooth horizontal movement of your car, unlocking extra parking space in your garage that might otherwise go unused.
Control options for lifts and custom projects are tailored to each specific application. For any inquiries or troubleshooting needs related to these control types, please don’t hesitate to contact us for a personalized discussion.
