How To Program a SmartWinch
To identify your model software revision and therefore the setup procedures, click on the speaker symbols to hear the startup sounds. Once you have found the one that sounds the same as your winch, click the link next to that speaker symbol.
Not sure what model?
E, G, H and J models have an extra single wire setup lead from the winch with small white connector as well as the servo lead and power leads.
All other models only have the two power leads and the 3 wire servo lead.
