3.6 Network
The winch is controlled through a web application and to facilitate this a connection to the survey
network is required. A 10m ethernet cable is supplied with the winch as standard. The cable has a
waterproof RJ45 connector on one end that locks onto the corresponding LAN connection on the
left-hand cover of the winch.
Connecting the waterproof RJ45 connector
The ethernet cable should be routed safely to a suitable network switch in the survey room.
NOTE: If the cable needs to be passed through a gland or bulkhead penetration, the dry end RJ45
connector can be removed and subsequently replaced with a standard RJ45 crimp connector using
the EIA-568B wiring colours:
RJ45 wiring to the EIA-568B standard
Do not remove the waterproof RJ45 connector from the cable under any circumstances.
