# Making the Connections

The Smart Chain Hoist is nothing more than counterweight unless connected to a Stagehand Pro controller. The Smart Chain Hoist will not function with any other Stagehand controller, nor any other manufacturers’ controllers.

## MOTOR/BRAKE <a href="#h.dyykvvaba7j2" id="h.dyykvvaba7j2"></a>

The motor and brake connections are made through a Harting or similar 24B locking connector. The Smart Chain Hoist includes a latching hood to ensure the connection is maintained even under the stresses of production use. Below is the pinout of the connector and cable.

## SIGNAL <a href="#h.2evend2gupob" id="h.2evend2gupob"></a>

All encoder and limit signals are transmitted through the Signal cable with Harting or similar 6B locking connectors. The Smart Chain Hoist includes a latching hood to ensure the signal connection is maintained even under production conditions. Below, is the pinout of the signal connector.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.creativeconners.com/docs/machinery/smart-chain-hoist/making-the-connections.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
