User Manual Intelliguard II This manual MUST be kept with the winch at all times. New winch operators MUST read and understand the contents fully.
INTRODUCTION The torque induced within the winch drive train is measured by a torque sensing unit and relayed to the capacity indicator & the data logger as a ‘percentage of allowed torque’. The data logger will only record torque instances that are greater than 80% of the rated torque capacity of the winch.
INTELLIGUARD II KIT Capacity Data Logger Indicator Power supply connects to vehicle ignition system (12v) Connects to clutch position indicator (Winch) Connects to torque sensor (Winch) Sel-0119 Rev0...
INSTALLATION STEPS Ensure you have the data logger, wiring harness and capacity indicator that was calibrated from the factory for the winch you are installing. Recognize the length of the cable to connect to the winch from the data logger and mount the data logger in the cab accordingly.

Ensure that the data logger, wiring harness, & capacity indicator are kept with winch. The parts are calibrated from the factory for a particular winch and cannot be mixed without re-calibration. Do not use magnets on or around winches with Intelliguard.
CAPACITY INDICATOR REALTIME DISPLAY The Capacity Indicator displays the measured torque value using five LED’s as follows. Table 1 Capacity Indicator Realtime LED Display Torque Load (% of rated Capacity Indicator LED Display capacity) 0 ≤ Torque ≤ 70% Power/Status % Torque (see above) 71% <...

The Capacity Indicator also displays system errors that might occur. When a system error occurs, the LED’s on the Capacity Indicator will start flashing (see chart below), and the Datalogger will log the errors that it can detect with a corresponding error event value. Table 3 Capacity Indicator Error Display and Error Event Values Error Event...
DOWNLOADING FROM THE DATALOGGER When a torque record in the range of interest occurs (>80% rated capacity) and is available for download, the Power/Status LED on the Capacity Indicator will change color indicate that records available downloading. To download the data, the user must insert a standard USB memory “stick”...

Upon completion of the file recording process, if an error occurred the Power/Status LED will continue to slowly flash until the ignition power is cycled off and back on to reset the Capacity Indicator. If the Operator attempts to download again after such a system error, the process will begin again and if successful the Power/Status LED will change to green, per the steps described above.
CAPACITY INDICATOR FILE NAMING The Capacity Indicator generates two files on the memory stick during the download process. The first file is the Raw Data Log file, which contains a dump of all the records contained in the Datalogger memory. The second file generated is the Summary Report file, which contains a summary of important torque event ranges, error events, and statistics regarding operation of the winch system.
EVENT RECORDS Event records are presented in the Raw Data Log file in the following format: *MM/DD/YY hh.mm.ss nnn t Where: “MM/DD/YY” is the event date (month, day and year) “hh.mm.ss” is the event time (hour, minute and seconds) “nnn” is the event or torque value, in the maximum range of 0..255 “t”...

Torque Events are those recorded torque values that either indicate operation of the winch above/below the minimum torque level (>5%), or near full rated capacity (>80%). The beginning of winch usage is defined to be an increase in measured torque above the minimum level (>5%). But only the increase above the minimum for the first time will be recorded in any one winch usage session.
