BATTERY SPECIFICATIONS
The speed at which the load can be raised is direct-
ly proportional to the power available to do the job.
The larger and better the batteries are that power the
winch system, the more satisfied you will be with the
results obtained when using a DC powered winch.
ShoreStation
recommends that the battery used to power
the winch system is a deep cycle battery Group 24 minimum.
The following are items you can do to help with the perfor-
mance.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged.
• A solar panel that generates 20 amps or more is
recommended to keep the battery fully charged in a field
situation.
• A battery maintainer can be used if 110 volt power
source is available to operate the maintainer. A battery
maintainer that will supply a minimum of 6 amps and
12 volts is recommended to properly maintain a battery.
12/24V DC CONNECTIONS
It is very important that the terminals and ground connec-
tions are clean, and tightened sufficiently to make an excel
-
lent contact. Clean connections with a wire brush to make a
positive connection.
Make sure all cable connections are connected to the proper
terminals.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
Connect the system battery cables in the following configu
-
rations:
Figure A – 12VDC Battery Configuration
Figure B – 24VDC Battery Configuration
Figure C – Optional 24VDC Battery Configuration
Figure D – Optional 24VDC Battery Configuration
KEYBOARD OPERATION
To enable the keypad function, enter the factory or user-de-
fined 4 digit code. The preset factory code is the sequence
“1-2-3-4”.
The numbers entered into the keypad do not have to be
changed if numbers are entered by mistake. The only re-
quirement is that the four digit sequence of numbers be en-
tered into the system during the number entering process.
Do not press the code button anytime before or after the
code is entered into the system. Doing so will disable
the keyboard so the keyboard functions will not oper-
ate.
When you start entering numbers onto the keypad, the
GREEN - LED
light will light up. When the correct sequence
of four numbers is entered into the system anytime during
the number entering process, the
RED- LED
will light up.
Once the
RED - LED
is lit, the
UP, DOWN
, and
LIGHT
func-
tion keys on the keypad will operate. The remote controls
are disabled when the
RED - LED
is lit.
Once the keypad has been activated using the sequence
numbers as just described, the keyboard will stay activated
for approximately 2 minutes. It will then return to an inactive
mode.
Pressing the code button will activate the remote con-
trol and disable the keypad at the same time. The key-
pad and remote control can never be operated at the
same time.
