unclebill Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Looks like I've finally cooked the solenoids, so its time to fit Allbrights I suppose, South coast area, any suggestions, looked on the tech archives and got a phone number, said something about £70, is that each or for the kit, any other ideas anybody. Cheers Bill Note to Brighty, I know you gave me a couple, but there somewhere in that black hole of a garage of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonr Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Be careful there are some allbright lookalike copies out there...cant be as good I did a bit of testing on a Chinese, Albright copy from Winch Solutions. I was actually very impressed! It handled repeated on/off's at 1300A load (non inductive) with very little scarring and no welding of the contacts. (Performed by shorting out two Hawker PC680's in parallel). The contacts were Silver plated Copper and really quite chunky. Coils were left energised for several hours without problems. They did get warm, but it would be fair to say they are continuously rated. The best bit was the waterproofing. I left it submerged to a depth of 1m for 24 hours and there was no leakage whatsoever. I had a few criticisms, but they were all cosmetic - things like 3 out of the four terminals had 5/16UNC bolts and the fourth M8 - why not all M8? The connections to the coil used little screw terminals which were a bit fiddly. I believe these have been changed though. The next one I saw had the same type of spades used on the real thing. I was rather surprised and impressed. The retail cost of them is good too. There's not much from China I would rate - but they seem to have put some effort in to these! I have a sneaky suspicion these or similar are what most retailers are selling at the moment. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general-confusion Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I stand corrected Simon...i too am suprised that the chinese have managed to equal (or better) the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a genuine LR product then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MogLite Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I did a bit of testing on a Chinese, Albright copy from Winch Solutions. I can't find them on their website - any ideas what they retail for ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 You get one of these sealed chinese copies with the EP9 as standard. When Tony and I stripped the solenoid box they look identical to an albright. FirstFoor sell them for 49 quid inc VAT, solenoid Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 the ones David Bowyer sold had larger contacts than all the other offroad suppliers. there is a different part number for the ones he sells and a slightly higher price. unsure if he now sells the Chinese copies or the orig Allbrights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I saw these on eBay recently. They seem a reasonable price... Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I saw these on eBay recently. They seem a reasonable price...Mark That's much the kind of thing. I think WS were going to sell them a little cheaper - but I don't know to be sure. Give 'em a ring they don't bite! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 There's a connection diagram in the Tech Archive here Hi all, I have Warn XD9000 with remote hand control 5 wires .but in albright solenoid only 3 spade connectors. the others two wires, where go connect to you ? Thank you. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I have the same setup. I just cut off the two extra wires. You don't need them (aparently). I am sure a grown up will be along shortly to explain why....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D9OSV Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 The warn hand controller switches the earth as well as the positive. You do not need to worry about this if you earth the solenoid. Black and green are the switch wires (in and out) And white is the power wire (live) hope that helps Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Thank you, therefore black in left spide connector - green in right spide connector and in central connector ? and the wire brown ? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
