Setup
Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 2 before installing, powering, operating, or
servicing the Winch 10.
Warning! Before running the winch, it is important to put a counterbalance on the wire. This is
necessary, as the slack detection switch otherwise will be activated and stop the winch.
Warning! Only experienced DMX users should operate the winch. Contact Wahlberg for
further information and education on DMX protocol.
Counterbalance
When the winch has been mounted, it is important to hook on a counterbalance before running
with it. This can be done by hanging some sort of weight in the snap hook at the end of the wire.
The counterbalance is very important, because the winch will not run without it.
MODE setting
The MODE setting allows you to operate the winch in different
ways. Each MODE setting has a given function. Each mode gives
an opportunity for different run settings of the winch. The
MODE is selected using the MODE selector on the Winch.
The winch needs to be reset, before the positioning MODE is
possible. The winch can be reset manually or automatically. The winch must be reset each time
its power supply has been disconnected.
Read the passage about controlling the top- and bottom-positions, to explore and setup the
winch best for your own particular need.
Warning! Only operate the winch when there is a clear view to the winch and area beneath it.
Warning! Before running the winch ensure that the area beneath the winch is cleared so no
people can be harmed.
MODE 0 – Neutral positon
The winch is in neutral position. The motor is not powered and the winch does not move.
MODE 1 - Positioning with AUTO reset
The winch resets automatically and thereby also sets the top-position automatically. The winch
runs up until the snap hook reaches the motor-house and stops. Because of this, the top-
positions in this MODE will always be at the motor-house. To start the automatic resetting,
speed must be added on the speed-channel (DMX channel 3). When the winch has been reset, it
is possible to use it in positioning mode.
Warning! When resetting the winch in MODE 2, it is important to decrease the speed, as the
snap hook is closing in on the motor-house, otherwise the wire and winch can be damaged.
