CM2 Sidescan Sonar User Manual

17. SK172 & SK172E Winches

Replace the flange in the end of the drum, and fit the end bearing plate. Rotate the winch several times to
position the cable firmly around the drum. Then seal the cable exit slot using silicone rubber compound.

The control pendant connections are as follows: -

Pin E…White button (winding out)
Pin H…Common (+24v)
Pin B…Black button (winding in)
