LOCKING DEVICE
As a standard feature the cable reel has a disengageable cable locking device. The latching mechanism ensures that the pulled-out cable
stays without traction fixed in place. When the cable is being pulled out, the spring detent passes over a series of grooves. An audible
click indicates that the locking device is engaged. If you gently rewind the cable after the clicking sound, you will notice that the spring
detent will engage into the notches, locking the cable in position. The cable can be disengaged by gently continuing to pull the cable until
the click can no longer be heard. The tensioned spring will pull the cable back onto the reel.
Attention
Do not release the cable when rewinding, the tension of the spring can accelerate the winding speed to such a degree that the
swinging cable end could cause injury. Also damage to the cable and spring could be the result of such an action.
The locking device
FT / FTE 260
can be disengaged by pulling the knurled grip out by approx. 1cm and turning it between 90° and
180°. This will disengage the locking device the cable is then constantly under tension.
CABLE ASSEMBLY
The standard MFK cable reels are supplied as standard without cable
assembly (see "Installation Cables".
The cable is installed in the cable reel in such a way that a cable with the
connection length X protrudes on the connection side. Cable assembly is
described below. To change the extension length, the connection cable must
be rolled up in the coil and fastened.
Attention
When rolling up and unrolling, the connecting cable must be stored
inside the coil and secured with the Velcro fastener. Otherwise, the line
may be damaged and there is a risk of injury due to the swirling end of
the connection cable.
The maximum pull-out length depends on cable outer diameter (OD), cable
weight incl. plug-in device, weight of the cable stopper
and the built-in coil
spring.
