Motor Remote Controller and Contactor Remote Control Winch

Question from customer:

Hi, I am looking for a 110 volt remote control for a winch that pulls my boat from the water into my boat house.

Requirements:

120 volt

20 amps max

Momentary switches

Do you have a kit that meets these requirements?

Boat Electric Winch

Answer:

First, we’d like to recommend motor momentary remote controller (S1FM-AC220&CV-2-2). It can remote control motors of rolling blinds/ doors, projection screens, awnings, pumps, winches, conveyors or other electric appliances and machineries. With 2 directive buttons ▲(Positive rotation) and ▼(Reversal rotation), you can rotate the motor in the positive or reversal direction with the transmitter (remote control) from any place within a reliable distance(this kind of remote controller is 500m/1500ft). Power supply is AC 100~240V. But this maximum current is 10amps, it is not enough for you to remote control your 20amps winch. So we’d like show you contactor motor starter relay, you can use it amplify current which you need. AC contactor (aka motor starter) is a high capacity relay. It is often used to control a motor or as a main power switch. It’s used for long range connection and circuit disconnection, frequent activation and controlling AC motor.

Here is the wiring diagram. Two contactors will act as a bridge between remote controller and high power motor to help activate high power motor to rotate in positive and reversal position.

connection diagram

Wire A1 terminal of contactor 1 to UP terminal of receiver, and A1 terminal of contactor 2 to DOWN of receiver. Wire T2 terminals of contactors 1&2 to winch motor. Wire winch motor to COM terminal of receiver. Supply power to receiver and contactor 1&2 respectively.

Operation:

Press and hold button ▲ on remote: Motor rotates continuously in positive direction.

Release button ▲ on remote: Stop the motor.

Press and hold button ▼ on remote: Motor rotates continuously in reversal direction.

Release button▼ on remote: Stop the motor.

Winch Motor Remote Controlling

One of our customers wanted to have a remote control kit to replace his manual switch bar to control his winch motor running up and down. This is his original wiring diagram. AC 110V will input via white wire and black wire. Through converter, AC 110V will be converted to direct current. In the violet circle, this is the manual switch control area. He has to use control switch bar to control winch motor up and down. He thought that it is inconvenient to him. So he wondered if there is a favorable remote controller for him to solve this problem.

We recommend him a 2 Channel 30A remote control kit(S2U-AC220+C-3) which features in 30A high power current. It controls lights, motors, fans, electrically operated doors/locks/windows/blinds/cars or other appliances with voltage AC110~240V or DC0~28V which is normally open and closed contact.

Our thought is that the red circle part in the following picture will be replaced by our RF receiver.

So we drew a wiring diagram. The Black and Red wires (picture above )will be connected to terminals C and terminals B on relay 1&relay 2 respectively. White and Brown wires(picture above) will be wired to Motor.

remote control winch motor

There are 4 controlling modes for your reference. They are toggle, momentary, latched, momentary + toggle. As for motor controlling, we suggest momentary mode.

Setting control mode Momentary: Only connect Jumper-1.

Control mode Momentary: Press and hold -> On; Release -> Off.

Press and hold button A of remote: Turn on relay 1, motor runs up.

Release button A: Turn off relay 1, motor stops.

Press and hold button B of remote: Turn on relay 2, motor runs down.

Release button B: Turn off relay 2, motor stops.
