Considering a Winch Radio Remote?

IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE NOTICE ABOUT THE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE RADIO/WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL DEVICES

WARN ATV, Truck, and Industrial Winch Owners:

It has come to our attention that some customers are inquiring about the compatibility of using the currently available Radio/Wireless Remote Control Devices with a WARN? Winch.

Here is what you need to know:

WARN ATV Winch Only:
For WARN ATV winches, the only Remote/Wireless system Warn Industries recommends is the WARN Wireless Control System for powersports winches. This System is designed specifically for use with a WARN ATV winch.

WARN Truck Winch only:
For WARN Self-Recovery winches, the only Remote/Wireless system Warn Industries recommends is the WARN Wireless Control System for truck winches. This System is designed specifically for use with WARN winches. Other currently available Radio/Wireless Remote Control devices clearly disable the WARN backup (redundant) winch switching control functions. This is because other Radio/Wireless Remote Control Devices utilize three (3) control wires while the WARN remote switch utilizes five (5) control wires. The five (5) control wires are critical to proper function.

WARN Industrial Winch:
For all WARN Industrial winches, WARN does not offer a Remote/Wireless system. Other currently available Radio/Wireless Remote Control Devices clearly disable the WARN backup (redundant) winch switching control functions and may lengthen the response time between the winch control functions of POWER IN and STOP, POWER OUT, and STOP. These Radio/Wireless Remote Control Devices do not meet the WARN standards for operator control for any WARN Industrial winch.

For 60 years, WARN has been committed to providing dependable, reliable products you can trust. WARN strongly recommends (1) that if you want a Wireless Control for your WARN ATV winch or WARN Truck winch, use only the WARN Wireless Control System and (2) DO NOT use other currently available Radio/Wireless Remote Control Devices with any WARN Industrial winch.
