Cheat sheet-Winch 50 

Before use 

When using the Winch 50, always have a counter weight placed in the 
wire loop. (Minimum 5 kg) 
When using the Winch 50, make sure you can see it, so you have visual 
confirmation on the movements. 
The Winch 50 uses 6 DMX channels, in order to make it easier to learn how to use it.  
Patch out the 6 DMX channels to faders on your lighting desk.   

DMX channels 

 

DMX channel 1 – Position.       

(16 bit DMX channel)  

 

DMX channel 2 – Position fine.  

(16 bit DMX channel) 

 

DMX channel 3 – Maximum speed 

 

DMX channel 4 – Motor Enable – between 50 % and 55 %, to enable the motor output. 

 

DMX channel 5 – Reset UP 

 

DMX channel 6 – Manual DWN   (Set range)  

Getting started 

1.

 

Hang up the winch, so there is space for the wire to move without hitting the floor. 

2.

 

Put counterweight on the wire loop, minimum 5kg. 

3.

 

Connect to 230VAC – 

The display is now showing the start-up message. 

4.

 

Set DMX channel 4 between 50 % and 55 %. -

 Motor is now enabled.

 

5.

 

Set DMX channel 5 to 50% wait for the load to move to the top position. (There is a 3s 

delay on this channel) 

When it is at the top position set channel 5 to 0% 

6.

 

Set DMX channel 6 to 50 % wait for the wire loop to go 2m down  (There is a 3s delay on 

this channel) 

When the hook is 2m out, set DMX channel 6 back to 0 % -

 Now the travel range is 

from the winch chassis and 2m down

7.

 

Set DMX channel 1 to 100 % and DMX channel 3 to 20 % - 

The wire loop is now running 

to the top with 20 % speed.

 

8.

 

Set DMX channel 1 to 50% and DMX channel 3 to 50 % - 

The wire loop is now running 

1m down with 50 % speed.

 

 

Emergency stop switch (Only in versions with emergency stop!) 

The emergency stop switch is connected to the female 4 pin XLR connector.  
Pin 1 and Pin 2 should be connected to each other; otherwise the motor will not run.  

 

 
Pin out: 
Pin 1 = GND  

 

 

Emergency stop input  

Pin 2 = NC 
Pin 3 = NC 
Pin 4 = 12 – 15 volt DC
