Power Winding

The Condux Figure-8 Eliminator Trailer is capable of winding cable at an average

7. speed of 600 ft/min (179 m/min) or about 40 RPM. This productivity will vary with cable diameter, job site layout and equipment condition.

Important! Always start the winding operation slowly, and gradually increase speed to attain maximum operation efficiency and cable safety.

The power winding procedure requires fluent use of both electronic controllers, the Electronic Machine Controller and the Hand-Held Wired Remote Controller. Review the features and functions of the electronic controllers in Section 4 of this manual before beginning the power winding operation.

The drum moves a distance of one cable diameter for every rotation of the arm during power winding. It may be necessary to make minor adjustments in the speed of the drum movement during winding to ensure cable nests neatly on the drum (Figure 27). Note that the cable being placed needs to be slightly behind the cable wrapped on the drum to keep wraps tight (Figure 27).

Important! Large spaces between cable or overlapping of cable will compromise the unloading procedure (Section 8) or may cause the drum to fill prematurely. Use the following corrective actions when needed to keep even wraps of cable on the drum.

Overlapping Cable: While loading, you may double the speed of the drum for every rotation of the arm by pressing the

(+) key on the Hand-Held Wired Remote Controller. This means the drum will move 2 cable diameters for every rotation of

the arm.

Space Between Cable: While loading you may half the speed of the drum for every rotation of the arm by pressing the (-) key on the Hand-Held Wired Remote Controller. This means the drum will move 1/2 a cable diameter for every rota- tion of the arm.

Follow steps A through H for trouble-free

Power Winding (Cable Loading) operation.
