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 7 mm (9/32") and depth of 12.5 mm (31/64") must be drilled on a tooth of the gypsy, in a place outside the chain's path.
2. In the case of horizontal shaft anchor windlasses (see Fig.), drill the hole in the outer circumference of the gypsy.
3. Also make sure that the protruding part of the magnet will not collide with the base or sensor during rotation of the gypsy.
4. Insert the metal part of the magnet in the hole, allowing the protected part to protrude by about 2 mm. 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 windlasses

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

Drill a 4 mm (\~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 2 mm to 10 mm (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

The chain counter must be positioned so that the display will be easy to read. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Secure the instrument in place with the cradle provided, tightening the two screws using a cross screwdriver.

Three technical line drawings of a handheld device with cups, shown from different angles (no text or symbols)

For instructions on making electrical connections, see Chapter 7- WIRING DIAGRAM. The wires must have a minimum cross section size of 1.5 mm². Install a 5 A (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.
• Transmission frequency 433MHz

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:
