Hello, Okay, so, we have a 20 ton Overhead Bridge crane that has a Bridge, Trolley, Hoist. I am installing a remote control pendant but I will also need to add a warning light and an audible warning device when the bridge is traveling. I am not too familiar with relays but am wanting to get it in my skill set. I need the bell to only go off when you are either traveling (FWD) or (REV) In order to do that I am sure I need at least one relay in-line with the contactor (motor starter). For anyone unfamiliar, if I don't have a way to close the circuit from the direction not being used, it will back feed and most likely blow a fuse or an overload. If I had reversing contactors with a physical interlock, I could make that work, but I do not. This is a very old crane. Using Nema 1 -- 3 phase starters. The coil is 120v
Anyone who can draw me a schematic gets a cookie. I have looked around other websites and can't find a forum with Overhead Crane installation or maintenance experience. Thank you.... Logan
