12V or 24V DC power supply is required to the AA702 base station.
Check battery polarity before connecting power and ensure output terminals will not short.
5HIHUWRWKHPDQXIDFWXUHU¶VVSHFL¿FDWLRQV for fuse/breaker, isolator and main power
cable specifications, for the equipment being controlled by the AA710.
Ensure any fuse/breaker on the control circuit has a rating applicable to the current loads
connected to the outputs. (AA702 Output maximum is 3.5 Amps). An additional isolating
switch should be installed for controls if the main breaker or isolator is not readily acessible
from the helm.
Multiple battery bank negative terminals must be permanently connected together to
become the common negative return (ground).
2.5.1 WINDLASS INSTALLATIONS
Power supply to the AA702 base station must be from the windlass control circuit, along
with all other windlass controls eg. toggle switch, remote switches, deck switches, other
AutoAnchor devices. Power supply must not be from the motor positive near the
windlass.
2.5.2 MULTIPLE BASE STATION INSTALLATIONS
The master base station must be powered up when using a slave base station application.
Separate base stations may be powered from separate supplies, however, if 2 products
are connected to the same base station they must be powered by the same supply,
or relays must be used as a means of isolation. To maintain power to the windlass it is
recommended that the windlass be attached to the master base station.
THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED WHEN INSTALLING,
CONNECTING OR CHANGING THE WIRING
2.5 POWER SUPPLY
2.6 VOLTAGE LEVELS
Neither the windlass nor the AutoAnchor will operate with insufficient power. (See minimum
voltages below). Batteries must be properly maintained and charged and all connections
and wires must be of good quality and the correct gauge to prevent voltage drop.
Minimum Voltage Required 12V DC System 24V DC System
Minimum voltage required to start windlass 10V DC 20V DC
If the windlass is already operating, this is the
minimum voltage required to continue operating.
