All tools must have lanyard attachment to a secure location.
Fasteners:The components of the IBEX® 1000 are as-sembled using standard fasteners.All bolts should be rmly tightened. If nylon lock nut is used, bolt thread shall protrude passed the nylon lock nut by at least one thread. If a lock washer is used, bolt should be tightened to compress lock washer at.NOTE: Either a lock washer, star washer or Nylok nut shall be used for all fasteners3.2. Bottom Assembly NOTE: Tools Required: 17mm and 13mm Combination Wrenches, 5mm Hex Wrench and (2) 29mm Wrenches 122. Choose the mounting position. The Bottom Assembly requires access to two rungs. Choose the lowest possible rungs. The IBEX® may be installed as high as chest height before climbing is signicantly impeded.3. Install Rung Supports in the rungs directly above and below the Bottom Assembly mounting position. Thread four (4) ¾” or M20 for EU Nuts, Lock-Washers, and Fender Washers and tighten until Lock-Washers have been fully compressed using 29mm Wrenches. If fall arrest system or other rung supports are present, these may be used if long enough to accommodate additional width.4. Adjust Motor Assembly to t rung spacing. Loosen or tighten 10mm shown in red Figure 3.2.1 until upper and lower brackets can clear the instal-lation rungs.5. Install the Motor Assembly with the brackets ush to the ladder. Install upper bracket over rung and tighten bolt until lower bracket is tight to ladder.TIP: If the fall arrest system is mounted at the ladder center, install-ing the IBEX® offset from center by up to three inches will not affect performance.Figure 3.2.1 Figure 3.2.2Page 8 of 24 Reference: 702991-1 Issue date: 26-Jan-2012 Revision: E 1. Unpack the following items and arrange them near the ladder:Item Description Qty1 Gear Motor Assembly 12 Rung Supports 23 Lower Hardware Kit 1 (Not Shown)
3.3. Upper Assembly NOTE: Tools Required: 17mm combination wrench and Two (2) 29mm Wrenches, Lift Bag capable of holding all tools and components.1. Unpack the following and place in the Lift Bag:Item Description Qty1 Upper Sheave Assembly 12 10mm U-Bolt 23 Stop Plate 14 Pull-In Roller MS5 Rung Reinforcements 26 Roller 17 Upper Sheave Hardware Kit 1 (Not Shown)123452. Choose the mounting position. The Upper sheave should be mounted approximately in line with the lower sheave. The upper sheave ideally is installed 6-7 rungs above the nal tower platform. If the installation height is limited, care must be taken to insure safe disengagement from the sys-tem is possible at the installed height. 3. Install Rung Supports in the rungs directly above and below the Upper Sheave mounting position. Thread four (4) ¾” or M20 for EU Nuts, Lock-Washers, and Fender Washers and tighten until Lock-Washers have been fully compressed using 29mm Wrenches. 4. Install the Upper Sheave Assembly.4A. Unpack the Upper Sheave, (2) U-Bolts, (1) Rung Support Bracket and Upper Hardware Kit Hold the Upper Sheave in place and install the (2) 10mm U-Bolts over the top supported rung and through the upper and lower mounting holes on the climber side and thread on two (4) nuts with star lock with star facing up move them up the U-Bolt. Install (4) nuts with star lock with star facing down. Adjust nuts up the U-Bolt to make room for the Rung Support Bracket to t over the bottom supported run4B. Tighten (4) upper nuts with star lock until the Upper Sheave Bracket is tight to the upper supported rung. Tighten (4) lower nuts with star lock until the Rung Support Bracket is tightly rest-ing on the lower supported rung. Be sure the Rung Support Bracket appears to be level in all direc-tions and tighten evenly all (4) nuts with star lock until Upper Sheave is rmly secured to the ladder.4C. Install 705519-1 roller using supplied nuts.Align holes with the U-Bolt on non-climbing side of ladder, slide up until it is ush with stop plate.Tighten bolts until snug.4D. Install (4) rubber boots to end of U-Bolts.TIP: If two rungs or less exist above deck level, installation may be pos-sible just below deck level. This will require user to disconnect from the IBEX® while on the ladder, but connection to fall arrest system must be maintained.4B 4C6Page 9 of 24Reference: 702991-1 Issue date: 26-Jan-2012 Revision: E Reference: 702991-1 Issue date: 26-Jan-2012 Revision: E
5. Install the Pull-In Roller one rung above deck level. Install the Pull-In Roller on top of the rung and align with the upper sheave assembly. Install the Rung U-Bolt with threads up and fasten with included Nylon Locknuts. Tighten with 11mm Combination Wrench until slight rung deformation has occurred. As shown in image 5.6. At the base of the ladder, lay belt on side. Pull the belt from the center.7. At the base of the ladder, attach the belt to the work positioning D-ring using a carabineer and make a loop in the belt using electrical tape wrap 12 times as shown in image 7. Climb to top of ladder, momentarily removes the belt loop and feed the Belt through the Upper Sheave Assembly; then remake the loop in the rope and attach the carabineer to the work positioning D-ring. This person then descends the ladder normally, pulling the Belt into position.8. Feed the belt through the Lower Sheave and trim to length with no overlap.WARNING: This step denes the belt path and care must be taken to ensure that it is free of snags or twists around any obstruction.3.4. Belt Path SolutionsEnsuring a continuous belt path free of abrasion against or possible snags around xed objects within the tower is critical to the performance of the IBEX® system and the life of the Belt. Below are suggestions regarding the installation of the standard IBEX® belt path components and ad-ditional accessories available separately.3.4.1. Pull-In Belt RollersAs the Belt passes through decks, there is a poten-tial for Belt abrasion on the non-climber side. It is recommended to install a Pull-In Roller one rung above all decks the belt passes through. If the belt is at an angle greater than 10°, Pull-In Belt Rollers should be used because of the excessive force on Rollers.1. Unpack one (1) Pull-In Roller and one (1) Rung U-Bolt.2. Place the Pull-In Roller on top of the installation rung, and install U-Bolt with threads facing up. 3. Install two 11mm Nuts with 11mm combination wrench. Tighten until the rung has slightly deformed.4. After the Belt has been tensioned properly, load the belt into the belt guide.INSTALLATION:57Page 10 of 24 Reference: 702991-1 Issue date: 26-Jan-2012 Revision: E NOTE: Ensure belt is threaded thru sheave inlet and exit guide piece top and bottom.
3.4.2. Push-Out Belt RollersFor towers with obstructions near the ladder opposite the climber (i.e. ip-down ladder rest sta-tions), Push-Out Belt Rollers can be used to extend the clearance between the belt and the ladder. Installation of Push-Out Belt Rollers is identical to the Pull-In Belt Guides (Section 3.4.1.). IBEX® Push-Out Belt Rollers are included with EU units and sold separately, as required.3.4.3. Wear StripsTowers with safety hatches that can be closed over the ladder way at each platform generally require Wear Strips to prevent abrasion of the Belt against the sharp metal of the hatch.NOTE: Tools Required: Permanent Marker, Pop-Rivet Gun for 1/8” shank, #11 Drill Bit (5mm), Cord-less Drill, Tape Measure1. Unpack the following:Item Description Qty1 Wear Strip 12 3/16” Rivets 33 3/16” Backing Washers 32. With safety hatch in closed position, Mark the ladder width on the hatch using the permanent marker.3. Lift the hatch and install the wear guide over the lip of the hatch. Center the wear guide on the refer-ence marks made in Step 2. 4. Measure 75mm (3in) in from both sides of the Wear Strip and mark with Permanent Marker. Drill #11 hole 12mm (0.5in) from edge of hatch at those marks through Wear Strip, Hatch, and Wear Strip Back. Install the two 3/16” Rivets with Rivet Gun. NOTE: To accommodate the wid-est possible range of wind turbine tower designs and specications, the IBEX® system is offered with easily adaptable solutions, which can be ordered on an individual basis or in tower specic kits. Contact Power Climber Wind to receive a Tower Survey form and to discuss which components are needed for your installation.Page 11 of 24Reference: 702991-1 Issue date: 26-Jan-2012 Revision: E Reference: 702991-1 Issue date: 26-Jan-2012 Revision: E

Press the STOP button to stop immediately.NOTE: You may have your weight on the EasyClimb Controller before pressing UP or DOWN4.1.5. To Shut Down the SystemTo shut down the system, put the power switch located on the electrical control box in the OFF po-sition. Although not neccessary it is recommended to unplug system when not in use.4.1.6. Miscellaneous4.2. SafetyOften, during the ascent, it is necessary to momen-tarily stop, for example to open or close a hatch. For convenience, a delay is automatically set when the climber stops climbing and the climber remains supported. Provided the ascent resumes within 10 seconds, it is not necessary to press the UP button again, otherwise press UP and resume the ascent.Similarly, during descent, the climber may stop for a delay of 10 seconds before resuming the climb before it is necessary to press the DOWN button. Otherwise press DOWN and resume the descent.Because the climber is remote from the motor controls, and to ensure that the system responds to the climber’s intentions and does not operate fro m unintended actions, it is necessary to press the UP or DOWN button to initiate a climb.To ensure that operation of multiple EasyClimb Controllers does not cause unexpected actions, each EasyClimb Controller has a unique serial number. Concurrent operation of more than one EasyClimb Controller in a tower may cause the motor to stop and remain stopped for 30 seconds.To prevent erroneous operations, it is only possible to communicate with the motor drive while the EasyClimb Controller is pointed up.Page 16 of 24 Reference: 702991-1 Issue date: 26-Jan-2012 Revision: E
5. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONSThe IBEX® 1000 requires minimal maintenance. All bearings are sealed and do not require lubrica-tion5.1. Periodic Inspection5.1.1. Belt InspectionAs a moving part, the round assist belt is subject to wear with use. Visual inspection of the belt for abrasion or other damage or weld separation should be performed regularly. Closer inspection of the entire belt length should be performed once annually. Setting the lower switch on the electrical control box to INSPECT will engage the mainte-nance mode. In this mode, the motor will drive the belt at a slow speed. While at the ladder base, allow the belt to pass through the inspector’s hand while also visually inspecting the belt as it moves.Surface scarring from use of rope grabs is normal and will not affect performance or safety of the belt. However, if excessive scarring or abrasion against the ladder or platforms is discovered, the worn section may be removed and a replacement section spliced into place according to the belt splicing procedures in section 3.5.5.2. TroubleshootingBelt slips on the drive sheave • Check for oil on the belt or drive sheave. Use a dry cloth to clean the belt using maintenance mode.•Will occur if the belt tension is too low during installation. See tension table in section 3.5. EasyClimb Controller LEDs do not indicate • Place the EasyClimb Controller on the charger for at least 24 hoursBelt stops when the EasyClimb Controller is in the upper zone of the tower• Verify that the antenna is connected, correctly aligned and is not damaged.• Ensure that the EasyClimb Controller is pointing up with the stop button highest.Belt will not respond to controller commands• Check to see if a second EasyClimb Controller is causing interference.Belt stops at random times and will not operate again for 30 secondsSymptom ConsiderPage 17 of 24Reference: 702991-1 Issue date: 26-Jan-2012 Revision: E Reference: 702991-1 Issue date: 26-Jan-2012 Revision: E
