I've been given another batch of Whirlwinds to look over (6!).  One of them has a label on it saying it is a Tensor.  I've got the winch working (motor had come unglued) but the travel adjust pot doesn't do anything.  This is the only Tensor I've come across so if any one else has one could they confirm that the travel adjust works on theirs please?

The reason for asking is that, although mechanically similar to others, the Tensor appears to be a much later design of electronics using surface mount components, a multilayer PCB and a PIC microprocessor.  The pot wiper voltage changes as you rotate it but without knowing what the software does it's hard to know what is supposed to happen.  It would be nice to confirm it should work before I spend too much time on it.

When in doubt - RTFM!  Just found a type written note in the bottom of the box.  Apparently the Tensor only reads the travel adjust pot at power up so rotating it while the winch is running will not do anything (as I have discovered).  Makes it pretty hard to use as you have to guess how much to rotate the screw (and which way!) and then turn it on and see if you were right.  Not the greatest design.
