E1 ELECTRIC WINCHES
Empowered Sailing
Andersen E1 electric winches allow you to hoist and trim sails at the
push of a button regardless of physical strength, so any crew member
can easily and safely trim sails and control lines. Perfect for enjoying
sailing short-handed or with friends and family. In addition to the host of
standard features that make Andersen self-tailing winches the benchmark
for quality and performance, Andersen E1 electric winches are engineered
with unsurpassed levels of functionality, monitoring and protection.
Ease of installation
Contactors and controller are contained within the motor unit, so no separate control
box is necessary. Simpli昀椀ed electrical installation requires just the connection of positive
and negative power cables to the motor terminals and the connection of the push
button using the included output cable. Marine grade circuit breakers are also available
for protection and isolation.
E昀케cient, high quality motor
At the heart of the E1 electric winch is a high quality European engineered and
manufactured series wound motor. Carefully matched with the optimum gearbox
these winches deliver high speed at low load for fast sheeting in, and low speed at
high load for safe, 昀椀ne tuning when trimming. They are available in 12 volt and 24 volt
models providing smooth and quiet operation across a wide working load range.
Illuminated “intelligent” push button
E1 winches are supplied with a push button with an integrated LED which illuminates
when power to the winch system is on. The push button incorporates a hinged safety
cover to prevent inadvertent winch operation and is water resistant rated to IP67.
The push button also acts with the controller to 昀氀ash status codes that assist with
troubleshooting in the event of overload or where other system protection intervention
occurs. A cable for connection of the push button is included for convenient installation.
Unrivalled monitoring and protection
Integrated overload protection – The controller is pre-set to stop the winch if the
maximum pull load is exceeded. Operation can resume within a few seconds when the load
returns below the limit.
Thermal overload protection – The motor is 昀椀tted with a thermal cutout that disables the
motor in case of overheating; it automatically resets after the temperature returns to normal.
Reverse polarity protection – An integrated 5 amp fuse protects the motor against
incorrect cable connection.
Accidental start protection – Winch operation is disabled if the push button is already
inadvertently pressed when the power supply is turned on at the circuit breaker or battery.
Low voltage detection – Operation is disabled if the battery charge level is low, which
prevents further drain on batteries and avoids triggering low voltage reset of navigation
instruments and other electronic devices.
Continuous run time limit – Operation is disabled if continuous run time exceeds 10 minutes.
Manual operation
Two speed manual operation is always available as a backup.
