Product Overview

What The Schneider Crane Pendant Control Is For

The AR1-62YS is a single speed pendant control station for overhead cranes, hoists and winches, designed for direct mounting on a control cable. It features four function buttons plus an on/off switch, with mechanical interlock for safety. The unit is built with rugged ABS plastic housing and rated IP54, making it suitable for dusty or wet shop environments. Button text is standard arrow tips with English labels, and the control is rated for 10A at 500VAC, allowing direct connection to contactor coils without a relay. The set is available as a single piece for testing or small volume orders.

Comparison

How It Compares With The Alternatives

F24-8D radio remote control	Pendant has no batteries or pairing, but requires a trailing cable; radio removes cable but adds power and setup
XAC series pendant control	XAC has higher IP rating and more buttons; AR1-Y is simpler and lower cost for basic single speed control
Joystick remote control	Push button is faster to train on; joystick gives proportional control but requires more operator skill

Use Guide

Getting It Onto The Machine

Confirm the control voltage on the crane panel matches the pendant’s 500VAC rating
Check the number of motions needed and select a button count with one spare
Mount the pendant on the control cable with the cable gland secured
Test each button with the machine powered down to ensure correct function
Record the model and S/N for future replacement orders
