Drum Camera: The spooling quality is paramount to maintain a long cable lifetime. The camera gives the operator the opportunity to confirm at any time that the system is operating correctly.
Tension Setup: The iWinch® system recognizes which direction the slope machine is moving. It can be set to 3 different tension settings:
- Uphill
- Not Moving
- Downhill
At any time, the operator can reduce the pre-set tension with the potentiometer.
