WIRELESS REMOTE
This anchor winch comes equipped with Wireless Remote Control that allows push-button anchor operation from any location
within about 50 feet. Also included is a remote controller bracket that can be attached to the boat’s helm, or elsewhere, and is used
to store the remote control. If the bracket is placed at the boat’s helm, the remote controller can be used as a panel switch, or
removed for portable use anywhere near the boat. The remote is pre-programmed at the factory for your specific winch. One
remote cannot operate two winches. Every remote has a unique code so there is no concern about having two remotes control one
winch. For your reference, one controller cannot control two winches.
If re-programming the remote becomes necessary, follow the instructions below:
1.
Remove anchor from anchor rope. The winch will be powered in and out during reprogramming and it would be unsafe to
leave the anchor docked in the anchor roller (davit) during this operation.
2.
Disconnect anchor winch positive wire from battery.
3.
Press and hold LOCK button on the winch housing.
4.
Connect anchor winch positive wire to battery, release LOCK button, and LED will be on.
5.
Press UP and DOWN button on the remote at the same time.
6.
LED will flash 3 times then turn off. Re-programming is complete.
7.
Test remote function. NOTE: Do NOT power out excessively – it may create a rope back lash on the spool.
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER
Winch includes internal over-current circuit protection to protect winch from overload. An additional 40-amp circuit breaker or fuse
is required to protect the battery wire from short circuit. Position for fuse or breaker is close to battery as possible.
WIRING SELECTION & SPECIFICATION
Using wire that is too small diameter or too long could result in overloading and a fire. Using incorrect circuit breakers may result in
melting of wire insulation and possibly a fire.
DO NOT use electrical wire sizes smaller than 10 AWG (gauge) with a 105-C rating and
longer than 15 feet. Use the wire gauge that is suitable for the length of run in your installation. Larger gauge wire will improve
product life. Use 10 gauge wire up to 14’ (4m). If longer battery wires are required, use 8 gauge up to 25 ft. (7m). If using wire larger
than 10 gauge, do not replace the existing battery wire inside the Control Unit. Instead cut the existing wire about 12 inches (30cm)
from the housing and splice the larger wire directly to the supplied wire.
Always disconnect battery positive wire from the battery before attempting to install, relocate, or service the winch.
Make sure all crimped electrical connectors meet industry standards.
Follow order of wiring steps to ensure power is not applied to winch until wires and circuit breakers are installed.
Keep wires away from intense sources of heat. Be sure newly installed wires are away from any bare wires.
Never attach the circuit breaker to the negative terminal of the battery.
WIRING
Route the battery wires from winch to battery. Connect the RED positive (+) wire to the (LOAD) post on the circuit breaker. The
small hole on the circuit breaker buss bar (flat stamped metal part with two holes) is attached to the copper post on the circuit
breaker and the large hole on the buss bar is attached to the battery positive terminal. The BLACK negative (-) wire connects to the
battery negative terminal. If the battery wires can be cut shorter, the winch will perform a little better.
