INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your new winch and thank you for choosing an Engbo product. We
hope your winch will meet your expectations. Please note that this requires that the winch
be installed and used in accordance with this manual in an environment with the correct
conditions for proper operation. This includes the necessary battery capacity for the winch
motor as well as correct placement of winch, rope, anchor and anchor bracket.

Brief description of the winches

Engbo MINI 100 is designed for boats up to approximately 20 feet and Engbo MIDI 200
for boats between 20 to 25 feet. These winches are true free-fall winches and equipped
with a new power electronics that replaces the traditional contactor. The new electronics
have no open contacts and are very flexible as regards voltage. Engbo MINI 100 and

MIDI 200 are also equipped with new control electronics with an integrated radio
receiver for the wireless remote control as well as an integrated protection of the winch

motor and electronics.
The winches are supplied with control panel as standard. A wireless remote control with a

range of > 30 m under normal conditions can optionally be used.

WIRING

The sticker on top of the electronics module also shows the wiring of the unit.
All wiring and connections must be done with the main switch turned off or the battery
disconnected.

Control panel for fixed installation.

Watertight (IP 68) control panel for installation
exposed to sea spray and sun. Designed to allow
installation directly on gently curved surfaces as
well (double-sided tape). The enclosed screws may
also be used.
An optional adapter plate (part no. 112-10015) can
be used for installation in existing 62 x 62 mm hole.
Several panels can be connected in parallel to the
same electronics unit.

Connection of switch panel

One switch panel is supplied as standard with a
10m cable. The wires are cut and the insulation
stripped to the correct length and connected by
pushing the wires in while holding down the orange
button above the selected hole. Release the button
when the wire is in place. Check to make sure that
the insulation is not inside the terminal and that
there are no loose strands sticking out.
The wires must be connected as follows:
1: White
2: Brown
3: Green
If more than one panel is to be installed, connect
the wires in parallel to 1, 2 and 3 (2 is common 0 V)
(Spring-clamp terminal strips are used to avoid the
risk of the connections coming loose due to
vibration or temperature changes.)

Connection of end stop sensor

(Note: MIDI 200 ONLY)
The wires from the end stop sensor are connected
as described above.
The wires must be connected as follows:
4: Brown (BN) = +V
5: Black (BK) = Signal
6: Blue (BU) = Gnd

WARNING !!

!
!

Connection of motor leads and battery
cables

The preferred method is to first fit the cables on the
unit before installing it standing against the
bulkhead with the power cables pointing downward.
The motor leads are supplied fitted on the motor.
Start by connecting the motor's black negative lead
to the left before the battery's black negative cable,
then the battery's positive cable and finally the
motor's positive lead. (Disassemble in opposite
order if necessary.)
The picture shows the correct connection and
orientation of bolts and cables (the lock nuts on the
left side).
(The cable terminals must be connected directly to
the copper rails without any washers, etc. in
between. Use a flat washer between the bolt head
and the top of the cable terminal and between the
plastic side of the end wall and lock nut.)
The M8 x 25 mm bolt is for the battery's positive
conductor.
Note the copper plate used as a spacer in the end
wall.
For normal distances from the battery to the
electronics module (< 4 m), use 25 mm
100 and 35 mm

2

for MIDI 200. If the distance is

longer, use the next size larger cable dimension.

Battery connection

• INCORRECT BATTERY POLARITY WILL

PERMANENTLY DESTROY THE POWER
ELECTRONICS
BEFORE CONNECTING THE BATTERY - MAKE

•

SURE NO CABLES ARE SHORT-CIRCUITED OR
DAMAGED

• CHECK ALL POWER CABLES AND TERMINALS;

TIGHTEN UP IF NECESSARY
NEVER USE WASHERS BETWEEN CABLE

•

TERMINALS AND TERMINAL POINTS WITH
HEAVY CURRENTS.

The battery's positive cable must have a fuse as close to
the battery as possible and the main switch must be
installed in an accessible location before the electronics
unit.

Windlasses must
battery.

always be connected to the start
