    Based on your vid I installed one of these wireless remotes. It's been stellar. I've used it alot for pulling a trencher from the side by side. I've been out to 200 ft from the winch. No problem. I did install a simple cut off switch do deactivate the remote... Just in case I inadvertently press the remote button...

      For $20 how can you go wrong! Great piece of gear and the cut off switch is awsome! - I did hit the switch in my pocket once and the winch bent the fairlead - so that's now on my list of upgrades! Thanks for the tip.

    Hey, thanks for the video.

    Works great.

    Thanks for this. Did you wire the controller white wire with the blue wire atop the solenoid?
    How well did the small remote work?
    Mine came with that only, not the larger remote.

    I purchased the same remote. What colors are you connecting to each place? I don't understand electrical stuff, including the wiring diagram that came with it. Help!

    • @TheEmporiumOutdoors
      @TheEmporiumOutdoors  5 років тому +1

      Hi Craig, As the colour might change brand to brand I'd rather not give you bad advice, so read the instructions to confirm. I'd try and get a friend to help if you are uncertain about how to fit it, however, there are 4 wires - positive power (red on mine), neg ground (black), and two control wires (yellow and white for me). Connect the red and black to power and ground respectively and the two control wires to the in and out terminals on the winch contactor (small spade connectors on the lower part of the contactor NOT the large nut terminals). The fifth wire is an aerial! Hope that works!

      @@TheEmporiumOutdoors Thanks, I'm getting closer. The diagram says A, F1 and F2, and that didn't give me any clues. I saw you put spade connectors on, but I couldn't tell which ones or why. But now I understand white and yellow control in/out.

  • @Mikefngarage
    @Mikefngarage 5 років тому +2

    why did you use dielectric grease. DIelectric is for resistance. regular grease is for connection. We use dielectric grease on spark plug boots to make them easier to remove. since the power does not flow through it.

    • @TheEmporiumOutdoors
      @TheEmporiumOutdoors  5 років тому +4

      The purpose of dielectric grease is to remove moisture and stop corrosion. As long as the electrical connection surfaces are tight and grease free the resistance of the grease plays no part. Best to use sparingly 😉

      Does the winch work without the remote? Just check that the in & out connectors (low voltage) of the contractor are showing voltage when you press the remote.

      The 5 wire is for the power (+ve, ground, 3 control wires) so yes it will work fine. I fond it works quite a distance, beyond my 50 ft of winch cable. Cheap and still going strong!

      I installed the wireless remote yesterday. (Inspired by your video). I noticed a 1/2 second delay on the solenoid when using the wireless remote. So if you tap ‘in’ or ‘out’, the line runs about 6”. No way to tap and get just an inch of winch travel. That a not a huge deal when you’re 40 feet out but if you’re snuggling the snap hook against the fairlead you have to be real careful so as not to pull it in too tight. I have a superwinch 3500 and actually bent the fairlead back abit! I noticed similar comments on the Amazon site. Like your vids btw.
      FYI. Al

      No offence but its 2 wires you need to connect to the contactor. I spent more time on showing the unit to clarify the unit wiring and what came with it as this was difficult to understand before purchasing it from Amazon. I plan to do a full winch install video including the remote soon.

    • @TheEmporiumOutdoors
      @TheEmporiumOutdoors  7 років тому +2

      My apologies - +ve is short for positive, ground is the negative terminal of the battery or -ve. On the contactor there is an IN and an OUT connector. The 2 other wires connect to these points. Perhaps I should do a step by step guide if you feel it would be useful. Regards Michael
