INTRODUCTION
All information necessary for a correct assembly to ensure trouble free operation of the cable reel are described in the present operating
instructions. The warranty given by the manufacturer is only valid if these operating instructions are observed and adhered to. Terms and
conditions are available upon request or at https://www.schill.de/en/footer/general-terms.
Additional user manuals for other product variants can be found at https://www.schill.de/en/downloads or received on request (see
"CONTACT").
GENERAL
Automatic cable rewinder provide for a modern network supply of workstations or serve to bring a network connection to mobile terminal
devices. The cable is only pulled out when needed and in the required length. The remainder stays neatly stored on the cable reel and is
protected from contamination and damage. The power connection is always accessible, but never in the way. The cable length can be
easily adapted to a changing work situation. There is no cable chaos, no tripping hazard anymore. If the cable connection is no longer
needed, a short pull on the cable stopper will suffice and the cable will roll up neatly. The automatic cable rewinder provides safety and
order.
HANDLING
The coiled cable should be pulled out to the required length against the spring tension, but please refrain from the use of undue force. The
cable is coiled and fixed in position as described under "LOCKING DEVICE". The cable should never be pushed in manually. If the cable
becomes entangled when winding it onto the reel, simply pull the cable out again and then rewind.
MAINTENANCE
The cable reel does not require any maintenance, due to the excellent antifriction properties of the plastic bearing. However, the cable
must be checked in regular intervals for damages and replaced if necessary (see “EXCHANGING THE PULL-OUT CABLE”).
CONTINOUS OPERATION
The cable reel is designed for manual use in workshops. The standard cable reel is fitted with a standard available cable. If used for
automated applications when a high degree of mobility is required, the standard applied cable has limitations. A special cable with a
support core should be used in those applications. In order to ensure a reliable function, the cable lengths must be reduced by at least 1/3.
If you consider automated applications, please contact the manufacturer up-front (see “CONTACT”).
SPIRAL SPRING
The spiral spring is subject to natural wear and tear and can result in a fatigue fracture of the spring steel. Based on experience, we
recommend changing the spring after approx. 30.000 operations. The term “operations” defines not only a complete winding and
unwinding of the spring but also includes a partial movement of the spring. For a safe replacement of the coil spring, please refer to
paragraph (“REPLACING THE SPIRAL SPRING”).
CABLE STOPPER
The length of the available cable can be individually adjusted with the provided cable
stopper. The reliable clamping adapts to various cable diameters between 6 and 12 mm.
For a thicker cable, a larger version is available. The stopper also serves as a safeguard
against retraction of the cable in case of a not intended release. It should therefore never
be removed.

LOCKING DEVICE
As a standard feature the cable reel has a disengageable cable locking device. The latching mechanism ensures that the pulled-out
cable stays without traction fixed in place. When the cable is being pulled out, the spring detent passes over a series of grooves. An
audible click indicates that the locking device is engaged. If you gently rewind the cable after the clicking sound, you will notice that the
spring detent will engage into the notches, locking the cable in position. The cable can be disengaged by gently continuing to pull the
cable until the click can no longer be heard. The tensioned spring will pull the cable back onto the reel.
The locking device FT 260 can be disengaged by pulling the knurled grip out by approx. 1cm and turning it between 90° and 180°. This
will disengage the locking device the cable is then constantly under tension.
ATTENTION
Do not release the cable when rewinding, the tension of the spring can accelerate the winding speed to such a degree that the
swinging cable end could cause injury. Also damage to the cable and spring could be the result of such an action.
CONNECTING THE CABLE REEL
The cable reels are unless otherwise agreed supplied without connection cable.The
connection cable can be mounted in a individual length to the internal fuse terminal
according to the sketch above.
EXTENSION CABLE
The included standard cables are designed to tolerate the weight of the pulled-out cable including the cable stopper. Additional weights
are not allowed. The mounted cables are limited to the specified lengths. Never use excessive force to unwind the cable as this can
damage both the cable and the reel. Should the cable be blocked while coiling up, please pull the cable out again and recoil. Attention
should also be paid to section „GENERAL" and “CONTINOUS OPERATION".
In the case of versions without pull-out cables, the cable is connected as described under "" EXCHANGING THE PULL-OUT CABLE”

READY FOR USE
Before commissioning, check whether the free end of the pull-out cable (RJ45) is correctly connected to a terminal. After connecting the
patch cable to the RJ45 socket and establish the network connection, a test to prove the network functionality should be conducted.

Our cable reels with their robust design are made for operating in factories and workshops. The sturdy plastic design, made from high-
quality materials, is completely electrically insulated, corrosion resistant and has very good winding characteristics. The cable reels come
as a standard without connection cable.

EXCHANGING THE PULL-OUT CABLE
•Disconnect the cable reel and remove from the operation site.
•Remove the cover with the RJ45 socket.
•Remove the RJ45 socket from the cover.
•Loosen all the screws from slip ring and housing cover.
•Carefully remove the housing cover, guiding the slip ring through the large hole in the housing.
ATTENTION
The spiral spring in the coil is under tension. Please ensure that the locking mechanism is activated.
•To replace the pull-out cable, you should make sure the spring is unwound for your own safety! Please adhere to the following
instruction:
1. Place the slip ring in the coil and fix it.
2. Carefully pull on the cable stopper until the click of the notches have faded, you immediately notice a pull on the cable
stopper in the opposite direction.
3. Let the coil run back slowly and count the number of turns. This is important to adjust later the exact preload on the
spring again, without damage to coil or spiral spring. In the end the coil should be able to move freely.
4. Remove completely the damaged cable from the coil and disconnect the RJ45 socket.
5. Remove strain relief inside the coil.
6. Remove defective pull-out cable.
7. Remove the cable stopper and where appropriate the heat shrink tubing from the defective cable and attach to the new
cable.
•Undertake the re-assembly in reverse order (see “TIGHTENING TORQUE”).
•Adjust the pre-load:
Hold the stopper outside the housing and hold it with one hand. Now turn the coil as often as you counted. At the end let it snap
into the notches (see "LOCKING DEVICE").

•Remove the defective spring.
ATTENTION
Due to the manufacturing design the spring is under tension and could unwind very fast and cause injuries if handled
improper.
•Carefully Re-assemble the coil. Undertake the Re-assembly in reverse order (see “TIGHTENING TORQUE”).
•If necessary, wind down the pull-out cable completely by turning the coil and insert the new spring. Pay attention to the
installation position!
•Insert the new spring. Pay attention to the installation position!
•Reinsert the plastic axle and assemble the spring cover disc. Ensure the retainer pin is engaging the spring eye.
•Adjust the pre-load:
Hold the stopper outside the housing and hold it with one hand. Now turn the coil as often as you counted. At the end let it snap
into the notches (see "LOCKING DEVICE").

INSTALLATION HEIGHT
The installation height of the cable rewinder is not limited. The maximum extension length is the specified cable length. The standard cables
are designed to withstand the weight of the extended cable included cable stopper. Additional tensile forces (cause by additional weights
for example) are not permitted.
When the cable is pull-out horizontally due to the weight of cable a slack occurs. This is about 10% of the cable pull-out length.
