### What is the Stagehand Pro 3E? <a href="#h.1nynxkk9ih7j" id="h.1nynxkk9ih7j"></a>

The Stagehand Pro 3E looks like a Stagehand Pro 3 AC and is functionally identical to a Stagehand Pro 4. I bet you’re wondering why we would do this… supply chain woes are a real thing. Our go to VFD - the Mitsubishi A800 - was not available on any sort of reasonable lead time, but we could get the Mitsubishi E800’s! While we were at it we upgraded the control card too!

### Stagehand Pro 3E Features <a href="#h.fzg7gvrmlutv" id="h.fzg7gvrmlutv"></a>

* 5HP motor control
* Dual Brake support
* Load cell support
* Cross groove detection
* Branch circuit protection

## Controls and Connections <a href="#h.oucei1y29kxz" id="h.oucei1y29kxz"></a>

The Stagehand Pro 3E connections are identical to the Pro 3 while the controls are more like a Stagehand Pro 4.

# 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/stagehand/stagehand-pro-3e.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.
