Speed Control Adjustment

The Retractor SM module is delivered with the speed control adjusted for nominal operation in all mounting orientations (vertical,
horizontal, and angular), however, speed control adjustment may be required in your application.
NOTES:
Ensure the speed control knob remains fully seated, with the teeth of the knob engaged throughout adjustments.
Retraction speed is affected by the installation orientation (vertical, horizontal, or angular). Always test speed
adjustments with the Retractor in its installed position.
The speed control adjusts the cable retraction speed:
If the retraction is too fast, turn the speed control a quarter‑turn clockwise (the control clicks as it turns) to slow the cable
retraction. Test the speed after each quarter‑turn until the desired speed is reached.
If the retraction is too slow after the final quarter‑turn, turn the knob counterclockwise one click at a time, retesting after
each click, until the desired speed is reached.
If the cable retraction is too slow, adjust the speed control counterclockwise in the same manner.
Retractor Operation
When initial adjustments are complete, the Retractor is ready for operation. To connect a cable, grasp the connector and pull
enough cable from the Retractor to connect it to the device. There is no need to press the cable release button. When you stop
pulling the cable, the Retractor fixes the length automatically.
To retract the cable, grasp the connector to control the cable, press and hold the cable release button until the Share button is
seated on the cable release assembly.
