Description
Winch 10 cable is a small winch for stage use, mainly for use in theatres, shows and concerts. It
lifts lamps and other electronical devices in and out of the stage sphere at a maximum load of 10
kg up and down. Lifting height is 3.8 meters (model 212) or 9.4 meters (model 213), and the lifting
speed is from 5cm/s to 30 cm/s.
The winch is controlled by the standard DMX controlling signal, so a normal lighting desk can be
used to control the movement, programmed as normal light.
For a low number of winches, a standard lighting desk can be used, but when many winches are
used, more advanced desks should be used to maintain easy control of the units.
The lifting cable is a Kevlar reinforced cable with 4 conductors that enables both power and data
connections to the lifting object. The connection for the cable has its own connector, so the user
can connect any kind of signal desired.
The Winch 10 cable uses 7 channels of the DMX-line, and they control the position, speed, limits,
and reset functions. The winch has an advanced internal positioning system with 16-bit, used for
finding the position desired by the operator. With a 16-bit positioning channel (ch1 and ch2) the
operator set the desired position, and the winch will run to this position, with the speed applied
on the speed channel (ch3).
With channel 4 and 5 it is possible to set the soft TOP and BOTTOM limits of the winch, adjusting
its span of motion.
Channel 6 and 7 is used for resetting the winch, when powering up.
Multiple winches are easily daisy chained with power in-out and DMX in-out, allowing to create
installation.

213.805.022 9 Date: 2022-09-19
Safety functions
The control system ensures that the motor only is powered when:
The control signal is reliable.
The position and speed control are on.
The motor position is calculated after which a PID regulator calculates the motor speed and
distance.
No overload.
Winch 10 cable should only be operated by an experienced DMX-controlled-lighting-desk-
operator. The lighting desk must be programmed according to the manual, so the winch will stop
when the speed is put to 0%. It is also possible for the user to stop the winch by disconnecting it
from the main. After power failure the start position of the winch needs to be reset before the
winch can function again.
Manual operation of the winch is only intended for mounting, service, and tests.
Area of use
For indoor use only!
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury: use indoors only
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain: store indoors!
The winch is intended for indoor use only. It is designed for lifting and lowering material at the
weight and speed stated in "Technical specifications" on page 5. Any other use of the winch may
result in a risk of injury of persons or equipment damage.
Exceeding the load rating may cause failure of the equipment.
Use only approved rigging connectors to secure the load to the lifting cable and do not wrap the
lifting cable around the load as this will damage the lifting cable and result in a risk of injury of
persons or equipment damage.

AC power
WARNING 3. before connecting the winch to AC mains
power.
WARNING! For protection from electric shock, the winch must be grounded (earthed). The
power distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault
(earth-fault) protection.
WARNING! Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the winch with power
must be located near the winch and easily accessible so that the winch can easily be
disconnected from power.
WARNING! Check that the voltage r matches
the local AC mains power voltage before applying power to the winch. Do not apply AC mains
power to the winch
Power cables and power plug
The Winch 10 requires a power input cable with a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3FX-W(-TOP)
cable connector for AC mains power input, and a NAC3MX-W(-TOP) cable connector for AC
through for daisy chain. The cable must rated 20A minimum, have three conductors 1,5mm2
(AWG 16) minimum conductor size and an outer cable diameter of 6-16mm (0.24-0.47 inch).
Cables must be heat resistant to 90°C (194°F) minimum. In the EU the cables must be <HAR>
approved or equivalent and in the USA minimum hard usage type SJT or equivalent.
If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug that is rated
20 A for USA and 16A for Europe.

original Neutrik instructions in Appendix 3.

213.805.022 14 Date: 2022-09-19
Data link
A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the winch via DMX. The Winch 10 cable has 5-
pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The pin-out on all connectors is pin 1 = shield,
pin 2 = (-), and pin 3 = (+). Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used in the Winch 10
cable but are available for possible additional data signals as required by the DMX512-A standard.
The Winch 10 cable is subject to the common limit of 32 devices per daisy-chained link. Note that
if independent control of a winch is required, it must have its own DMX channels. Winches that
are required to behave identically can share the same DMX channels. To add more winches or
groups of winches when the above limit is reached, add a DMX universe and another daisy-
chained link.
Tips for reliable data transmission
Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot
transmit control data reliably over long runs. AWG24 cable is suitable for runs up to 100 meters
(328 ft.).
Never split a DMX line without using an opto-isolated RS-485 splitter/amplifier.
Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output socket of the last winch. The
termination plug, which is a male XLR plug with a 120 Ohm, 0.25 Watt resistor soldered between
pins 2 and 3 s not reflect and cause interference. If a
splitter is used, terminate each branch of the link.
Connecting the DMX
To connect the Winch 10 cable to data:
1. Connect the DMX data output from the DMX controller to the Winch 10 cable -pin
XLR DMX input connector (DMX 512 IN).
2. Connect the DMX output of the winch to the DMX input of the next winch and continue
connecting winches output to input (DMX 512 OUT).
3. Terminate the last winch on the link with a 120 Ohm resistor.
The DMX lamp is the green led, next to the DMX-selectors.
Glows constantly: DMX connection is correct.
Flashes: DMX signal is missing or wrongly connected.

213.805.022 15 Date: 2022-09-19
Lifting cable power and data link
WARNING connecting AC mains power to the
lifting cable.
WARNING! Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the lifting cable
attachment with power must be located near the winch and easily accessible so that the lifting
cable attachment can easily be disconnected from power.
WARNING! Check that the voltage range specified for the lifting cable matches the attached
power voltage before applying power to the lifting cable. Do not apply power to the lifting cable
at any other voltage than that specified in this manual.
Lifting cable connection plug
The Winch 10 cable requires a power and data input through a Neutrik speakON NL4FX cable
connector. The cable for connecting the speakON plug on the winch for the lifting cable power
and data, must meet the requireme 3.
The lifting cable has four conductors; two for power and two for data.
Connecting the power cable
P 13 for installation of the power connection.
Connecting the data link
Refer to the se 14 for installation of the data connection.
To install a Neutrik speakON NL4FX cable connector, follow the original Neutrik instructions in
Appendix 4.

213.805.022 16 Date: 2022-09-19
Set up
WARNING! Rea 3 before installing, powering, operating, or
servicing the product.
WARNING! Before running the winch, it is important to put a counterbalance on the lifting
cable.
WARNING! Make sure to terminate the wire tails on the lifting cable before connecting a power
source to the speakON input.
WARNING! The power source connected to the speakON input connectors must be fused or
current limited to 5A.
Block diagram
A block diagram of the control system can be found in Appendix 5.
Counterbalance Slack Cable
To ensure proper and tight winding of the wire on the drum, the winch is equipped with a slack
detection device, that stops the motor from moving down if the wire becomes loose, hence wire
slack detected.
Therefore, when the winch is installed, ensure that the winch has some counterweight attached to
the wire hook, if not, the winch will not work properly, and will not run further down.
However, the winch will always run up if directed to do so, except if the TOP limit switch is
unintentionally activated before the top position is reached, but still the slack detection has no
influence on the ability to move up.

213.805.022 17 Date: 2022-09-19
Connections
The winch has 4 plugs on the front. At the top there are two DMX connectors, one for DMX in and
one for daisy chaining the DMX signal to other devices. In the same manner there is a POWER in,
and a POWER out that can be used for daisy changing multiple products.
Also, the mains fuse and a voltage selector are located here, and It is important that the voltage
selector has been set to the correct voltage before power is applied to the product.
On the back side there is a SpeakON inlet for the cable connections. The cable has four wire tails
near the cable end that can be used for any intended application, but it is important to terminate
the wires to avoid short-circuits or risk of electric shocks.
The source for the power input on the speakON input must be fused or current limited to 5A, and
its applicable for DC or AC applications without a protective earth applied (class II).

213.805.022 18 Date: 2022-09-19
Emergency Stop
There is no dedicated emergency stop for this winch. The winch is controlled from a lightning
desk, where it should always be set up with a button that sets the speed of the winch in operation
to 0%.
Normally lighting desks gnals to 0% and this will also cause
the winch to stop.
MODE setting
The MODE setting allows you to operate the winch in different ways. Each MODE setting has a
given function. Each mode gives an opportunity for different operational settings of the winch.
The MODE is selected using the MODE selector on the Winch.
The winch needs to be reset, before the positioning MODE is possible. The winch can be reset
manually or automatically. The winch must be reset each time its power supply has been
disconnected.
Read the passage about controlling the soft TOP and BOTTOM limits, to explore and setup the
winch for your own particular needs.
WARNING! Only operate the winch when there is a clear view to the winch and area beneath it.
WARNING! Before running the winch, ensure that the area beneath the winch is cleared to
avoid risk of injury.
WARNING! When resetting the winch in MODE 2, it is important to decrease the speed, as the
snap hook is closing in on the motor-house, otherwise the lifting cable and winch can be
damaged.
WARNING! MODE 7 and MODE 8 is only for service and tests!

213.805.022 19 Date: 2022-09-19
MODE Function Description Note
0 Neutral Mode The motor is not powered, and the winch does not move.
1 Positioning
AUTO reset
The winch resets automatically and thereby also set the soft
TOP limit automatically.
The winch runs up until the snap hook reaches the motor-
house and stops. Because of this, the soft TOP limit in this
MODE will always be at the motor-house.
To start the automatic resetting, speed must be added on the
speed-channel (DMX channel 3).
When the winch has been reset, it is possible to use it in
positioning mode.
2 Positioning
MANUAL reset
The winch is manually reset on the DMX channels 6 or 7.
The soft TOP limit is, because of this, also set manually, which
makes it possible to decide the position of the soft TOP limit.
It is highly recommended to set the top position at the motor-
house. When the winch has been reset, it is possible to use it in
positioning mode.
WARNING! When
resetting in MODE
2, decrease the
speed, as the load
is closing in on the
winch, otherwise
the lifting cable
and winch can be
damaged

213.805.022 20 Date: 2022-09-19
DMX ADDRESS setting
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions
from the controller. For independent control, each winch must be assigned its own control
channels.
The DMX address is configured using the three DMX ADDRESS selectors on the winch. The
selected DMX address states from which channels, on the lighting desk, the winch is controlled.
The DMX address can be selected from 1 505. The Winch 10 cable uses 7 DMX channels.
DMX
channel Function Description
1 Position rough This channel controls the position of the winch, with the speed (DMX channel 3).
This rough position works together with the fine position (DMX channel 2).
The rough position and the fine position are multiplied in to a 16-bit channel. The rough
position is the MSB.
2 Position fine This channel controls the position of the winch, with the speed set on DMX channel 3.
This fine position works together with the rough position (DMX channel 1).
The fine position and the rough position are multiplied in to a 16-bit channel. The fine
position is the LSB.
3 Speed This channel controls the speed and defines the maximum speed of the winch.
The winch runs with the set max speed but slows down as closing in on the wanted
position.
This channel also works as a main brake; the motor does not run unless the channel is set
above 0%.
The speed-channel can also be used to make soft and slow movements or fast and
sudden movements.
4 Shift soft TOP limit This channel controls the maximum top travelling height of the winch. When the winch
has been reset and the soft TOP limit thereby has been declared, it is possible, by
