AC mains power input. The cable must meet the requirements listed under “Protection from electric shock” on page 2. Wahlberg Motion Design can supply the PowerCON input connector without a cable. If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug that is rated 20 A.

3. Terminate the last winch on the link with a 120 Ohm resistor. The DMX lamp is the green led, next to the DMX-selectors. − Glows constantly: DMX connection is correct. − Flashes: DMX signal is missing or wrongly connected. 241.805.012 Date: 2017-10-24...

Warning! Before running the winch, it is important to put a counterbalance on the wire. This is necessary, as the slack detection switch otherwise will be activated and stop the winch. Warning! Only experienced DMX users should operate the winch. Contact Wahlberg for further information and education on DMX protocol. Block diagram A block diagram of the control system can be found in Appendix 3.

Warning! When resetting the winch in MODE 2, it is important to decrease the speed, as the snap hook is closing in on the motor-house, otherwise the wire and winch can be damaged. Warning! MODE 7 and MODE 8 is only for service and tests! 241.805.012 Date: 2017-10-24...
E.g. Set the winch to MODE 8 and the DMX address to 100, for a slow movement, or set the DMX address to 500 for fast movement. Re-calibrating See page 21 Warning! Only for overload service and tests! Table 2 - Overview of MODE functions 241.805.012 Date: 2017-10-24...

This channel also works as a main brake; the motor does not run unless the channel is set above 0%. The speed-channel can also be used to make soft and slow movements or fast and sudden movements. 241.805.012 Date: 2017-10-24...

The winch starts to run down when the speed is set above 0 %. This can be used to manually move the winch down without using positioning. This does not change the soft TOP limit. Table 3 - Overview of DMX addresses 241.805.012 Date: 2017-10-24...

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 DMX channel 3, therefore also works as a main brake. 241.805.012 Date: 2017-10-24...

If the fade of the positions is too fast, the winches will move at the maximum speed, and you will see the difference in the motor speed. If the fade is to slow the winches will move – stop – move – stop, when the position changes, thus giving a discontinuous movement. 241.805.012 Date: 2017-10-24...

Please contact Wahlberg Motion Design for details. Life of the wire It is Wahlberg policy to apply the strictest possible calibration procedures and use the best quality materials available to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes. However, wires are subject to wear and tear over the life of the product, resulting in special attention to the state of the wire.
