Controlling the soft TOP and BOTTOM limits
The soft TOP limit needs to be reset automatically or manually, before the winch is
able to use for positioning run. To get the most precise run, fit for your own needs, it
is possible to regulate the soft TOP and BOTTOM limits.
The soft TOP limit is reset manually by the DMX channels 6. When the soft TOP limit is
being reset it should always be set near by the motor-house. This is important to
notice because the winch has a pre-set soft BOTTOM limit, which is always set 10
meters from the pre-set soft TOP limit. Therefore, if the soft TOP limit is set far from
the motor-house and the soft BOTTOM limit is not adjusted, the winch will still run
10m. (33ft.) down and eventually run out of wire. This will activate the slack detection
and the winch will not go any further down.
To avoid that the winch runs out of wire, the max travel to the soft TOP and BOTTOM
limits should instead be adjusted on DMX channels 4 and 5.
Attention! If the two spectrums beneath overlap, the
soft TOP limit overrules the soft BOTTOM limit and
the winch will move down to that position, but will
be unable to be moved with normal positioning,
because the operating spectrum has been reduced to
0.
