Control panel for winch 80×60 mm – code: 02.341.00 – Osculati

Osculati winch control panel (code 02.341.00)

The winch control panel Osculati is a compact and neat solution to manage the winch's up and down functions via a dedicated control. Designed for nautical installations and onboard systems, it integrates the main control and signaling components into a single element, facilitating the creation of a clean and easily identifiable control point.

The panel includes a “Up/Down” switch” covered in waterproof rubber with spring return, , a safety fuse holder and two LED indicator lights for monitoring. For proper installation it is important to consider that does not directly control the winch: the connection must be made through contactor, according to the system diagram.

Features and construction details

Protected “Up/Down” control

The heart of the panel is the switch “Up Down”, designed for practical use in onboard environments. The rubber cover helps protect the control and makes it more suitable for contexts where splashes or humidity may be present. The spring return helps maintain intentional control of the operation: the control returns to the resting position when released.

Visual indication with LED indicators

The panel integrates two LED indicator lights for monitoring. The indicators provide useful visual feedback during use and system checks, helping to clarify the operation of the control point.

Integrated safety fuse holder

There is a safety fuse holder integrated into the panel, designed for a tidier management of the control circuit protection. The indicated fuse format is 6×32 glass.

Dimensions and size

The panel has dimensions 80×60 mm, a compact format suitable for installations where space is limited or where a clean and rational dashboard or bulkhead is desired.

Protection

The product is rated with IP56 protection rating, a useful indication to assess suitability for installation in areas exposed to dust and splashes, according to typical onboard usage conditions.

Typical applications

This panel is indicated as a control point for winches in nautical installations, where the following is desired:

• create a dedicated control “Up/Down” in a convenient position (dashboard, cockpit, bulkhead);
• integrate into a single element control, protection and signaling;
• maintain a neater wiring thanks to the presence of the fuse holder on the panel;
• have an visual feedback through LED indicators during operation or checks.

Since does not directly control the winch, it is suitable for systems where the control pilots a contactor (common solution to manage winch currents and power by separating the control part from the power part).

Advantages for installation and use

Clear and immediate control

The logic Up/Down makes operation intuitive and easily recognizable. The spring return contributes to controlled use, useful when you want to avoid unintentional prolonged operations.

Functional integration in a single panel

The presence of switch, LED indicators and fuse holder in the same component helps reduce device fragmentation on the panel or dashboard. This approach can simplify the arrangement of controls and make component identification easier during maintenance.

Suitable for the onboard context

The declared protection IP56 and the rubber-covered waterproof switch are consistent elements with use in a marine environment, where humidity and splashes may be present. Without replacing good installation practices (positioning, cable glands, sealing), these details contribute to a solution better suited for outdoor use or exposed areas.

Neater management of circuit protection

The fuse holder integrated allows centralizing the control circuit protection directly on the panel. The use of a fuse 6×32 glass allows simple replacement when necessary, respecting the system specifications.

Use, connections and important notes

Connection via contactor

Important note: this panel does not directly control the winch. Must be connected to a contactor (or equivalent system) that manages the power part of the winch. During installation, it is therefore necessary to correctly provide:

• the wiring of the control circuit to the contactor;
• protection through the fuse holder integrated (with fuse 6×32 glass);
• the connection of the LED indicators according to the system diagram, to obtain the desired signaling.

Positioning and installation

Thanks to the dimensions 80×60 mm, the panel can be considered for installations on the dashboard or bulkhead. In a nautical environment, it is advisable to take care of cable routing and connection protection, choosing a positioning consistent with the intended use and exposure to external agents.
