Values displayed on this page are password-protected.  Certain crucial values are protected by the system level 

password.  These are indicated by and (S) following their descriptor.  Other values have the indication (U) 

following their descriptor.  These values may be adjusted by an operator logged in with the User level username 

and password.  If an operator is not logged in, touching a numeric entry field will pop up the user name and 

password entry fields.  To enter the user name, touch the user name field; an alphanumeric keypad will appear.  

Use this to key in the appropriate user name, then press the ENTER key on the keypad.  Follow the same 

procedure in the password field to enter the password.  When these values are entered, the display returns to the 

winch parame

bring up a keypad to permit a new value to be entered.  

The LOG OFF button is used to log the user off after changing parameters.  

after five minutes, to prevent unauthorized access to parameters. 

User-level privileges permit changes to the following items, indicated by a (U) following their descriptors: 

LD WNDW:  Load window (pounds).  The acceptable variance from moment to moment during movement – 

initially should be set to 10

to eliminate false tripping. 

LOAD MAX: Maximum load (pounds).  The largest load imposed on the system during load learning, inclu

acceleration and deceleration loads, cable weight pickup, etc. May be manually adjusted after load learning. 

LOAD MIN: Minimum load (pounds).  The smallest load imposed on the system during load learning, includ

acceleration and deceleration loads, cable weight transfer, etc.  May be manually adjusted after load learning. 

LOAD SENSING ON/OFF: User level password privileges are required to turn load sensing on or off for a winch. 

System-level privileges are required to change system parameters.  These are indicated by the letter (S) following 

their descriptors.  If an operator is not logged in, or is logged in with user-level privileges, touching a numeric entry 

field for a system parameter will pop up the user name and password entry fields.  Once the operator is logged in

LOAD BEAR: Load Bearing (pounds).  This is the maxim

and all other items suspended from the winch headblock. 

LOAD SCALE: (ratio

Load Learning 

The load sensing parameters may be automatically calculated for a winch by following the load learning 

procedure.  First the batten should be loaded as it will be during operation.  Next, navigate to the load sensing 

parameters page, and touch the LOAD LEARN touchbutton to turn Load Learning ON.  Return to the winch base 

screen and run the winch up and down near the ends of its travel at various speeds; be sure to include the 

greatest speed and shortest accel/decal times that will be required under operation.  Finally, return to the load 

sensing parameters page and use the LOAD LEARN touchbutton to turn load learning OFF.  Verify that the 

values now entered in the Load Window, Load Max and Load Min fields, then use the LOAD SENSING 

touchbutton to turn load sensing on.  Return to the winch base page and run the winch again, to verify that the
