  • Page 14: Data Link

    Data link A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the winch via DMX. The Winch 50 has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The pin-out on all connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = Data (-), and pin 3 = Data (+).

  • Page 15: Emergency Stop Switch (Optional)

    Pin 3 = NC Pin 4 = 12 – 15 volt DC Ready to use When the Winch 50 has been connected to power, DMX, and an emergency stop switch, it is ready for use, and can be controlled from the lighting desk.

  • Page 16: Setup

    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.

  • Page 17: Dmx Address Setting

    The DMX address is configured using the three DMX ADDRESS selectors on the winch. The selected DMX address states from which channels, on the lighting desk, the winch is controlled. The DMX address can be selected from 1 – 505. The Winch 50 uses 6× DMX channels. DMX channel 1 – Position rough: This channel controls the position of the winch, with the speed (DMX channel 3).
  • Page 18 This channel defines the maximum speed. The winch runs with the set max speed, but slows down as closing in on the wanted position. 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.

  • Page 19: Adjusting Limit Switches

    Adjusting limit switches Just under the drum there is a small black box. When you take the lid of this box the limits can be adjusted. The limits are adjusted by turning the screws. 1. Loosen the middle screw. 2. Bottom limit is adjusted by turning the screw with a 1 next to it. 3.
