this manual. Multiple winch system will also have a BASE PAGE button, which is used to return to the winch
selection page.
WINCH OPERATION- DIRECT CONTROL
When a winch base screen is opened up, the current position is displayed in the POSITION and TARGET fields,
and the default speed is displayed in the SPEED field (variable-speed winches only). To run the winch up or
down from this point, push and hold the GO UP or GO DOWN button on the control station. The winch will
accelerate to the default speed and travel until the GO button is released, or until the winch reaches its Soft Upper
or Soft Lower Limit. To alter the winch speed during operation, move the speed control joystick handle - moving
the joystick up will increase the speed proportionate to the degree of joystick movement; moving it down will
decrease the speed proportionately. Fixed-speed units will only operate at their designated speed.
If a different speed is required for the move, enter the new speed prior to pushing the GO UP or GO DOWN
button. To designate a new speed value, touch the SPEED numeric field. A numeric keypad will open; use it to
key in a new numeric target. When you touch the ENTER key on the keypad, the new value will be transferred to
the SPEED field, and the keypad will close. Once this value is entered, run the set directly as described above.
NOTE: Operation of all machinery controlled by this system uses a form of "Deadman" operation. In this type of
operation, the operator must push and hold a button to run a set, and release the button to stop. This is done to
assure that the operator may not initiate a move and then leave the operator station while the move is in progress.
WARNING: Never move a unit which you, the operator, do not have in direct view. Damage or injury may occur if
a unit is moved without first checking that the unit is clear to move. If you cannot maintain a clear view of the unit
throughout the move, arrange to have spotters located where they can see it, and be sure to have a reliable way
of communicating with them throughout the move.
WINCH OPERATION- TARGET CONTROL
There are several ways to designate a target for winch operation. First is to enter the target directly. To do this,
touch the TARGET field. A numeric keypad will open: use it to key in a new numeric target. When you touch the
ENTER key on the keypad, the new value will be transferred to the TARGET field, and the keypad will close.
A pre-recorded target may also be loaded into the TARGET field by touching the SUL (Soft Upper Limit), SLL
(Soft Lower Limit), POS AS TRGT (Position as Target) or one of the Preset buttons (P-1 through P-8).
Once a target has been designated, the winch may be run to that target by pushing and holding the GO TARGET
button on the control station. The winch will accelerate to the designated speed and travel until it reaches the
target. If the GO TARGET button is released before the winch reaches the target, the winch will decelerate to a
stop at that point in its travel. The speed of travel may be varied by using the joystick, as described under Direct
Control, above.
