Simply connect the positive and negative power cables to the motor terminals and attach the push button using the included output cable. Whether mounting above or below deck, the winch’s compact footprint ensures a seamless fit into your vessel’s existing setup.
Advanced Push Button Controls
The intelligent push button features an integrated LED that illuminates when the winch system is active. Designed with safety in mind, the hinged cover prevents accidental operation and is rated IP67 for water resistance. Additionally, the push button communicates with the controller to display status codes, aiding in quick troubleshooting during overloads or other system protections. Installation is made easy with the included connection cable.
Robust Protection Mechanisms
- Integrated Overload Protection: The winch automatically stops if the maximum pull load is exceeded, resuming operation once the load drops below the threshold.
- Thermal Overload Protection: A built-in thermal cutout disables the motor in the event of overheating, automatically resetting when temperatures normalize to prevent damage.
