Verifying Basic Motion Functionality
The purpose of this section is to explain simple tests that should be performed on a newly-installed winch
to verify that it is operational.
To verify basic motion functions:
1. Turn power ON using the Power Up Sequence.
2. Start the rapidCAST Interface software.
3. On the Control Module, set the Control Switch to the Local Control position.
4. Use the joystick to pay OUT and pay IN a few meters of cable. See Line Management and Check
for Fouling when playing out line.
5. Observe the LevelWind and line as it is comes off the spool. The direction of the LevelWind travel
and the direction cable is comes off the spool should match. See Adjusting the LevelWind Position
if an adjustment is needed.
6. While paying OUT cable, press the Emergency Stop button on the Control Module. Verify that
the break is engaged on the winch and power is off to the Control Module. ALL LEDs off except
for Aux 24V, see LED Functions.
7. Reset the Emergency Stop button and verify that the system powers up.
8. On the Control Module, set the Control Switch to the PC Control position.
9. In the software, open the Jog and Teach tab.
a. Click the Crawl button to set the speed to 8 RPM.
b. Set Jog Mode to Continuous.
c. Use the In, Out, and Stop buttons to deploy and retract a few meters of cable.
10. While deploying cable, press the Emergency Stop button on the Interface Module. Verify
that the break is engaged on the winch and power is off to the Control Module. ALL LEDs off ex-
cept for Aux 24V, see LED Functions.
11. Reset the Emergency Stop button and verify that the system powers up.
