Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 2  before installing, powering, 

operating, or servicing the Winch 10.  

 

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. 

 

Block diagram 

A block diagram of the control system can be found in Appendix 3. 

Counterbalance - Slack Wire  

To ensure proper and tight winding of the wire on the drum, the winch is equipped 

with a slack detections device, that stops the motor if the wire is loose or wire slack 

detected.  

Therefore, when the winch is mounted, ensure that  the winch has  some kind of 

counterweight attached to the wire hook, if not, the winch will not work properly, and 

will not lower down. 

Connections 

The winch has 4 plugs. At the top there are 2 DMX plugs, one for connecting DMX in 

and one for daisy chaining the DMX connection to other devices. 

Below there is a power connection plug for POWER in, and one plug that can be used to 

daisy chain the power connection between multiple devices. 

Below those plugs are  the  voltage selector  and the fuse. It is important  that the 

voltage selector has been set to the appropriate voltage before power is applied to the 

winch.
