The programmable watchwinder module makes it easy for fabricators to design and build a custom winder system for a closet, safe or any special storage area (see photos below). They are completely self contained units and operate on low voltage, readily available alkaline batteries. With battery life measured in years, not months, there is no need for installing any high voltage electrical house wiring.
Installation is both quick and easy. Using a panel with a thickness of 3/8" (10mm), all that is needed is a bored 3-3/8" diameter hole for each module. The module is inserted from the rear of the panel and held in place with 4 x 3/8" (10mm) wood or sheet metal screws. Panels can be of heavier construction if desired. Simply machine a "pocket" which is 4" x 4" for each unit leaving a 3/8" wall thickness. Each module is supplied fully assembled. All that is required is to connect the two 48" lead wires (red and black color) of each module to a 6 VDC battery holder. Each module is fully programmable for turns per day (TPD).
Panels may be mounted vertically or tiled back 5° to 10° for fail-safe operation in the event that mounting cups are not positioned correctly. Modules can be mounted on a 4" x 4" grid although the 6" grid shown on the left-hand photo below provides adequate space for battery holders. Operation is virtually silent and there is absolutely no maintenance required. Modules are guaranteed for 2 years operation but are designed to easily provide 8-10 years of life without attention. Dimensioned mounting drawings are provided.
