Description: Winch 10 is a mini winch for stage use, mainly in connection with theatres, shows and concerts. It lifts props and small set pieces in and out of the stage sphere at maximum load of 10 kg up and down.
Do not modify the winch. Any modification you might need should be done by Wahlberg. It is the customers' responsibility that any local restrictions concerning the use of the winch are complied with.
Getting started: If you are using the winch10 for the first time it is a good idea to read this, to learn how to get started properly and what to pay extra attention to. Settings: The settings of the winch should be the first thing to setup. Both the setting of the MODE function and the DMX-address should be set before mounting the winch.
Connecting: Power: The winch is connected to 230VAC, by the enclosed Powercon plug. When the power is correctly connected, the green lamps on the winch are blinking. DMX: DMX is connected by the 5 poled XLR plug on the front of the winch (DMX IN). The DMX lamp will glow constant, when the connection is correct.
Recalibrating overload The winch comes with overload calibrated to 11kg which means that overload will occur when loads above 10kg is used on the winch. If you want to calibrate the overload for something different hang the winch with at least 1m clearance below it, and hang the desired overload threshold weight + 1kg on the winch (max 11kg total) Set the DMX channels to 999...
The winch runs down with the speed set on the DMX-selectors. This function can be used as a test-function or in association with on- and off-applying of wire. 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.

By adjusting this channel the positioning run from 0 - 100% will be within this new parameter. The top travelling height can be changed as needed, without resetting the winch top-position. DMX channel 5 – Max travel bottom: The channel controls the maximum bottom travelling height of the winch. When the winch has been reset and the top-position thereby has been declared, it is possible, by adjusting this channel, to change how low the winch may run in proportion to the bottom-position.
Synchronized movements of multiply winches If several winches are installed to perform synchronized movements some tricks are needed to get the best result. By nature the motors perform mostly equal, but some motors are running faster at full speed than others.
Controlling the top- and bottom-positions: The top-position needs to be reset automatically or manually, before it is able to use the winch for positioning run. To get the most precise run, fit for your own needs, it is possible to regulate the top- and bottom-positions.
Inspections and Maintenance: Interval of inspections should be determined according to the frequency of use and the working scenario of the winch. If the wire runs in an angel it wears down faster. Signs of malfunction or poor operation should always lead to an inspection of the winch, and the winch should be taken out of operation until the error is eliminated.
At 10kg the wire will last up to 15,000 cycles running up and down. The wire should be inspected long before these numbers are reached and checked for damages, and replaced if necessary. Spare parts: Only parts ordered at or approved by Wahlberg to be used. 805.241.009 Date: October 14, 2016...
Faults – defects: Wire defect: If the wire in some way should get damaged, get stuck or have problems rolling on and off, the winch needs to be opened, so it becomes possible to check if the wire is loose or if it is bungled up inside.
Applying wire: To applying the wire, the power must be connected again. Before this is done, it is important that the MODE-setting on the winch is set in a neutral function (MODE 0) to make sure the motor does not suddenly start. OBS: Be careful not to touch the power supply inside the winch, as it is exposed.
Winch 10 - Cheat Sheet MODE functions: MODE 1 Positioning with auto TOP reset. MODE 2. Positioning with manual top reset ( factory setting ) MODE 7 Manual run up (no DMX needed). MODE 8 Manual run down (no DMX needed).
