Controlling the top- and bottom-positions:
The top-position needs to be reset automatically or manually, before it is able to use the winch
for positioning run. To get the most precise run, fit for your own needs, it is possible to
regulate the top- and bottom-positions.
The top-position is reset manually by the DMX channels 6 or 7. When the top-position is
being reset it should always be set near by the motor-house.
This is important to notice because the winch has a preset bottom-position, which is always
set 10meters from the reset top-position. Therefore, if the top-position is set far from the
motor-house and the bottom-position is not adjusted, the winch will still run 10m. (33ft.)
down and eventually run out of wire. This will cause a problem, as the slack detection will
kick in and the winch will not go any further down.
To avoid this situation the max travel to the top and the bottom should instead be adjusted on
DMX channels 4 and 5.
OBS:
If these two spectrums overlap the max top position overrules the max bottom
position 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.
