4. Setup and Installation

This sensor kit is designed for surface mounting. Follow these general steps for installation. Refer to your specific winch system's manual (e.g., CHC 1202/M) for detailed wiring diagrams and mounting locations.

1. Preparation: Ensure the winch system is powered off and secured. Identify the designated mounting location for the chain counter sensor, typically near the chain gypsy or drum.
2. Mounting the Bracket: Securely attach the provided mounting bracket to the chosen surface using appropriate fasteners (not included). Ensure the bracket is stable and positioned correctly for the sensor.
3. Installing the Sensor: Insert the sensor unit into its protective sleeve, if applicable, and then mount it onto the bracket. The sensor should be positioned to detect the magnet as the chain passes.
4. Positioning the Magnet: Attach the magnet to a moving part of the chain gypsy or drum that will pass in close proximity to the sensor with each rotation. The measurement accuracy is ±1%.
5. Wiring: Connect the sensor cable to the main chain counter unit (e.g., CHC 1202/M) according to its wiring diagram. Pay close attention to polarity and connection points.
6. Testing: Once installed, power on the winch system and perform a test run to verify the sensor is accurately counting chain movement. Adjust sensor and magnet positions if necessary to optimize detection.

5. Operating Instructions

The CHC Winch Sensor Kit operates passively by detecting the magnet's proximity as the winch chain moves. Its primary function is to provide data to a compatible chain counter unit.

• Ensure the sensor and magnet are clean and free from obstructions.
• The chain counter unit will display the chain deployed or retrieved based on the sensor's input.
• Refer to your chain counter unit's manual for specific operating procedures, calibration, and display interpretation.

6. Maintenance

The CHC Winch Sensor Kit is designed for durability, but regular inspection can prolong its lifespan and ensure accurate operation.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the sensor and magnet surfaces to remove dirt, salt, or debris that could interfere with detection. Use a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Cable Inspection: Check the sensor cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Ensure all connections are secure and free from corrosion.
• Mounting Security: Verify that the sensor and its mounting bracket remain securely fastened and have not shifted position.
• Magnet Condition: Inspect the magnet for any signs of damage or weakening. A damaged magnet may lead to inaccurate readings.

7. Troubleshooting

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact Quick Products customer support or a qualified technician.
