ANDERSEN Stainless Steel Winches
®
Your Andersen winch is made with the care and craftsmanship that
come from more than sixty years of experience. Andersen winches
are built to last, to retain their exceptional finish and to deliver
season after season of reliable performance and sailing pleasure to
their owners through the years.
Compact Motor™ functionality
The Andersen Compact Motor™ is a brushless DC motor, carefully
matched to a low profile planetary gearbox, which requires less
space for installation and draws considerably less current than
traditional motor/gearbox configurations. Simplified electrical
installation requires no external control box.
The Compact Motor™ includes a dedicated circuit breaker with
integral controller and two illuminated “intelligent” push buttons
which regulate speed and power in the low and high speed ranges
of operation, in proportion to the pressure applied.
Manual operation is possible at any time using a normal winch
handle.
Monitoring and protection
The integrated controller will cause the motor to stop without
tripping the circuit breaker if one of the following conditions is
detected:
•
Maximum pulling load exceeded. The motor will cut out if
the pre-set maximum pulling load of the winch for electrical
operation is exceeded. Operation can resume within a few
seconds when the load returns below the limit.
•
Overheating. The motor will cut out if the temperature of the
motor circuit reaches 60˚C (140˚F). Operation can resume when
the temperature returns to normal.
•
Maximum continuous run time exceeded. The motor will cut
out after running continuously for 4 minutes and 15 seconds.
Operation can resume after releasing the push button to pause
operation for at least 30 seconds.
In these cases, the illuminated push button will flash, indicating that
the controller will reset automatically when operating conditions
return to normal.
