Pd17A Rotation Indicator Proximity Sensor - BRADEN PD12C Series Installation Maintenance And Service Manual

PD17A Rotation Indicator Proximity Sensor

Some PD17A models have a rotation indicator proximity sensor and hub between the motor and the
winch. If the sensor is removed or replaced, use the following procedure for adjustment and testing.
Refer to the drawing below for item numbers.
Install a new O-ring (item 108) onto motor pilot. Install sensor hub (item 123) onto motor shaft,
positioning the sensor hub so that one of the lobes will be directly under the sensor port. Install the
motor onto the winch. Install capscrews and lockwashers (items 101 & 102) securing the motor to
motor adapter.
If sensor hub is not correctly positioned with a lobe directly under the sensor port, proper adjustment may
not be possible and severe damage to the sensor and internal winch components may result.
Install flatwasher (item 121) and O-ring (item 122) onto new sensor (item 120). Apply a small amount
of silicone sealant to the threads just below the washer and O-ring. DO NOT apply sealant to the end
of the sensor or to the threads of the sensor port where it could be pushed into the winch. Install the
sensor into the motor adapter until it contacts the sensor hub. Back sensor out of the port 2 complete
turns. Attach wire harness to sensor to verify proper sensor operation. IT IS NOT necessary to operate
the winch motor. If sensor light is on, hold sensor from turning and tighten jam nut against motor
adapter. If light is off or blinks intermittently, adjust sensor inward toward sensor hub until light remains
on, then tighten jam nut.
