Getting started:
If you are using the winch10 for the first time it is a good idea to read this, to learn how to
get started properly and what to pay extra attention to.
Settings:
The settings of the winch should be the first thing to setup. Both the setting of the MODE
function and the DMX-address should be set before mounting the winch.
In this section we describe MODE 2.
Mounting:
The winch should be mounted to a ceiling or likewise, with
the mounting clamp at the top of the winch.
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.
Connection:
When the winch has been mounted and a counterbalance has
been placed, both power and DMX signal should now be
connected, as described in the passage
Connections
. The winch
is now ready to roll.
Manual reset:
When the winch is ready, the first thing to do is to reset it. This is done manually in
MODE 2 on DMX channel 6 and 7.
Reset example:
The DMX channel 6 is set at 30% - The winch runs up. Let it run until the snap hook, at the
end of the wire, reaches the motor-house. Decrease the speed at DMX channel 6 as the end of
the wire closes in on the motor-house. High speed could damage the winch and/or wire or
blow the fuse.
The winch is now reset and the top-position is at the motor-house or where the motor was
stopped.
Positioning:
When the winch has been reset and the top-position is set, it is possible to use it for
positioning run. The position is set on the DMX channel 1 and 2, which controls the rough-
and fine-position. Where 100 % is the top-position and 0 % is the bottom-position. The speed
is set on the DMX channel 3, where 100 % is the fastest and 0 % is the slowest. The winch
does not run unless the DMX channel 3 is set above zero, and therefore also works as a main
brake. To get the most accurate run in proportion to the top-and bottom-positions, read the
passage
controlling the top- and bottom-positions.
