Fig. 1

3.1 Installing the magnet on the anchor windlass

On a few models of anchor windlass the sensor and the magnet are already installed (chain counter setting). Therefore, the operations described below are not necessary.

1. A hole having a diameter of 7mm (9 / 32^ ) and depth of 12.5mm (31 / 64^ ) must be drilled on a tooth of the gipsy, in a place outside the chain's path.
2. In the case of horizontal shaft anchor windclasses (see Fig.1), drill the hole in the outer circumference of the gipsy.
3. Also make sure that the protruding part of the magnet will not collide with the base or sensor during rotation of the gipsy.

Insert the metal part of the magnet in the hole, allowing the protected part to protrude by about 2mm . Fix it in place using an adhesive for metals (two component epoxy glue) or silicone. The glue used must be able to withstand a marine environment.

3.2 Installing the magnetic sensor for horizontal shaft anchor windclasses

(see Fig. 2A - 2B - 2C)

Drill a 4mm ( 3/16 ) hole in the cover through which to thread the sensor cable. Fasten Part A of the support with the two screws provided, after having positioned the O-ring in the lower part of the support. Cut Part C to measure using a hacksaw. The sensor must be positioned at a distance between 2mm to 10mm ( 5/64 to 25/64 ) from the magnet. Fit Part C with the magnetic sensor on support A and fix it in place using an adhesive for plastic (two-component epoxy glue) or silicone. Using the same glue, attach the sensor to Part C.

3.3 Installing the chain counter

(see connection diagram)

ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE BATTERY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

The chain counter must be positioned so that the display will be easy to read. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

The rear part of the instrument must be protected from contact with water or moisture. The instrument may be fastened to dashboards of any thickness. The screws used for clamping must be of the selfthreaded kind and with a diameter of 3.5mm ( 9/64 ) and a maximum length of 10mm plus the thickness of the dashboard. In the part to the rear of the dashboard there must be minimum clearance of 35 mm (1" 3/8) and there must also be adequate access to perform installation and maintenance work. On the dashboard make a hole with a diameter of 50mm (1" 31/32), as indicated, and 4 holes with diameters of 4mm ( 5/32 ) for the chain counter clamping screws according to the 2 alternatives options A or B provided for the wall mounting. The sealing rubber flange must be positioned between the chain counter and the dashboard.

For instructions on making electrical connections, see the connector diagram 2.4. The wires must have a minimum cross section size of 1.5mm^2 . Install a 5A (ampere) fast safety fuse on the positive (+) wire of the battery. Do not use the voltage generated by the engine battery set to provide power.

Series resistor recommended for >5m sensor cable length.

The instrument complies with EMC standards and must be positioned at a distance of:
- 30 cm (~1 Ft) from the compass; -50 cm (~1.5 Ft) from radio equipment;
- 2 metres (~6.5 Ft) from radio transmitter equipment; -2 metres (~6.5 Ft) from the radar beam.

4 MENU

4.1 Starting up

The chain counter features a graphic display and three keys: (ON), (UP) and (DOWN). There is also a buzzer that indicates the pressing of the keys or attracts the user's attention in particular conditions (alarm triggering). The ON key switches on the display and enables the other two keys. It must be used to access the parameter setting menus. For selecting the parameters to be modified and to confirm the values set. The display backlight will switch off 30 seconds after the last command given (adjustable default time - see "Light time").

The UP key commands the hoisting of the anchor and the DOWN key casts it. When the key is released, the action is stopped. During parameter setting, the two keys allow the User to move around the menu and vary parameter values.

When switched on, the instrument will make a beep and the following page will appear for a few seconds:

Lofrans'

Once the initialisation procedure is complete, the main page will appear.

Where:

STATUS: indicates the status of the instrument and any failure.

SPEED': indicates the chain speed during hoisting or lowering in meters per minute or feet per minute.

COUNT: indicates the measurement of the chain lowered (in metres or feet).

MONITORING: indicates the power supply voltage of the instrument and the power supply voltage of the boat.

ICONS: this is the part of the display bearing the icons that indicate the hoisting or casting of the anchor and any failure.

When the instrument is turned on for the first time, it will set up as programmed in the factory (see table).
