LIMIT SWITCH SETTINGS
. Refer to the limit switch adjustment instructions provided with the winch. It is critical that both
the upper and lower limits be set carefully. The upper limit will prevent the unit from contacting the overhead structure. The
lower limit is as critical, and must be set to prevent excessive slack in the cable. By allowing too much slack, the cable can
"uncoil" around the drum, thereby rewinding with uneven wraps and "exceeding" the upper limit by having additional wraps on
the drum. See Illustration 4.
A
SLIGHT
amount of slack in the hoist cable is mandatory when the backstop is in the down position. However, an excessive
amount of slack will allow the cable to wrap incorrectly on the drum. To properly set cable slack, allow approximately one
second of delay after the backstop fully seats in the playing position, before the down limit switch shuts the down cycle off. See
Illustration 4.
4.
The use of Porter winches on products other than basketball backstops, overhead volleyball systems, and divider curtains is
EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED.
5.
Substitution of the Porter key switch with anything besides Porter Powr-Touch systems will void all warranties, and will render
the operation of the backstops/curtains unsafe.
6.
The key switch or controller must be mounted in a location so that the equipment it is controlling is in full view of the operator.
