The Altron DW1000/97 is an essential maintenance tool for security installers managing AW1697 series cabinet-based poles. Unlike fixed winches, this demountable unit is designed to be carried from site to site, reducing the capital cost of the infrastructure and preventing unauthorized operation or tampering with the tilt mechanism. The "/97" specification identifies the unique bracketry required to interface correctly with the winch points found on Altron’s cabinet-integrated poles. It provides the necessary leverage and controlled descent required to handle the combined weight of the pole top and mounted surveillance equipment.Safety is the primary focus of the DW1000/97. It features a high-tensile steel cable and an automatic braking system that prevents the pole from dropping if the operator releases the handle. The winch body is zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term reliability even when used in harsh outdoor environments. By enabling ground-level access to cameras, PIRs, and wireless links, the DW1000/97 eliminates the logistical burden and safety risks associated with using ladders or specialized high-access machinery. It is an indispensable component for any service team maintaining modular Altron security columns.
