Remote Winch Control
Remote Winch Control
Models FX85R, FX110R and FX140R have a remote
winch control that provides a means of engaging/
disengaging the spring-loaded clutch from up to 300 ft
(100 m) away from the winch.
1. Hand-held Transmitter
Each transmitter is pre-programmed with a unique
code. The receiver is programmed to respond only to
that transmitter. Other radio-controlled systems can
therefore work in close proximity without interference.
The transmitter has a lithium-polymer battery
and 30–40 hours of use can be expected before
recharging. A micro USB charger port is located on
the top of the unit for charging. There are two LED
indicators on the transmitter. The green LED flashes to
indicate communication between the transmitter and
the receiver. The red LED indicates battery voltage or
system errors. It flashes to indicate low battery or a
system error.

1.1 Receiver
The receiver is mounted on the winch. A signal is sent
from the transmitter to control the hydraulic actuator
to engage/disengage the winch clutch. It requires a
12 VDC power connection from the tractor.
The receiver enclosure is weather, vibration and shock
resistant.
1.2 Operation
•
Press and hold the POWER button (2) until both
LEDs turn on, then release. The green LED flashes
rapidly when communication has been established
with the receiver. It flashes slowly if the receiver
is off or there is no communication between the
transmitter and receiver.
•
Press and hold buttons 1 and 4 simultaneously on
the remote (see diagram) to engage the clutch and
retract the cable.
