To extend the operating period between recharging and prevent unintentional operating mistakes,
always switch off the transmitter during breaks and after work and secure against unauthorised use.
3.2.2 Gas ON / Gas OFF (Gas + / Gas -)
In the "Simple Speed Control" version
(GE)
, the output "Gas+" is switched on with the "Gas+" button and swit-
ched off again with the "Gas-" button.
In the "Continuous Speed Control" version
(GS)
, a stroke spindle motor connected to the "G+" and "G-" outputs
(not included in the delivery) increases the motor speed for as long as the "G+" button is pressed and decreases
the speed while the "Gas-" button is pressed.
3.2.3 Release
The "Release brake" function is divided into two time-dependent functions (pressing down for a short or longer
time). The relevant value for the different actions is factory set depending on the Type of winch to be operated;
it can however be set (only in the factory) in a range between 0.5 up to max. 4 seconds.
For example:
Setting for short operation: less than 2 seconds; Setting for long operation: more than 2 seconds.
If the "Release brake" button is pressed down for less than 2 seconds, the winch brake will be remain open for as
long as the button is kept pressed down and closed immediately it is released.
If the "Release brake" button is pressed for longer than 2 seconds, the brake remains permanently released until
either the "Release" or "Pull" buttons are pressed.
If the transmitter remains inactive for longer than ½ hour, it switches itself off automatically, whereby the pos-
sibly permanently released brake will be closed again.
The permanent release function can also be factory set so that it is completely switched off. In this case, the
winch brake only remains open for as long as the button is pressed (Brake release without permanent release).
3.2.4 Pull
The rope is pulled in by the winch while the "Pull" switch is pressed. The rope stops in its current position and the
winch brake is applied automatically, when the switch is released.
3.2.5 Emergency stop / Emergency call
Pressing this button for a short time (< 1 second) immediately switches off the commands which are active at
the time (EMERGENCY STOP), further commands are blocked. At the same time the "Emergency" output of the
receiver is activated and the +12 V board voltage (factory setting) or 0 V are given out.
Pressing this button for longer ( > 1 second) offers the possibility of using the F5 S transmitter to call for help in
an emergency, in combination e.g. with a comtac 1204 (EMERGENCY CALL).
3.2.6 Resetting the emergency call
Switch off the transmitter. Then switch it on again, keeping the ON switch pressed down for about a second until
the acoustic alarm switches off.
The winch emergency stop has nothing to do with the "Emergency stop" of the vehicle!
The passively triggered emergency call can only be switched off at the transmitter during the first 20 seconds
– after that the rate of switching on and off slows down and the passively triggered emergency call can only be
cancelled by briefly switching off the voltage supply to the F5 E receiver.
