PART 6 TROUBLESHOOTING
Messages are displayed on the AA710 console screen to assist with operation and
troubleshooting. These messages are designed to assist the user. They may be
information messages, for example that the console is locked, or the sensor is tuning.
They may also be diagnostic messages, for example, that the sensor installation is not
compatible or the power supply is wired incorrectly.
Many of the messages are self explanatory. Some will require further diagnostics. See
the Troubleshooting Messages, the Diagnostics Table and the Internal Voltmeter/Test Tool
information on the following pages.
Please Note: The messages are designed to help find an installation problem. They are
triggered by external wiring, installation or set up issues which need fixing. They are not
caused by a fault with the AutoAnchor.
TROUBLESHOOTING
MESSAGES
POSSIBLE CAUSE/ACTION
1. Auto mode disabled
Note: Unless the fault is
in the solenoid wiring the
AA710 will operate the
windlass in manual mode
when this message is
displayed.
Auto mode is disabled when:
1. No sensor pulses are detected. See message 6 below.
2. The sensor installation is not compatible with rope and chain
settings. See message 7 below.
3. The load sensing wires are not connected for rope/chain
counting. See the rope/chain wiring diagram and message 7 below.
4. A solenoid wire is disconnected. See message 9 below.
5. No rode to be released value has been entered. See page 39.
6. Total rode set to OFF. See page 30.
2. Battery voltage too low to
operate windlass.
The voltage displays on the
status bar.
1. If the battery is fully charged, check the wiring for bad
connections.
2. Check the cable meets the specifications. If the cable is the
wrong size there may be voltage drop between the battery and the
AutoAnchor. See cable sizes on page 16.
Go to the Diagnostics in the Set up menu to view the battery
information. See the table on page 15 and 51.
3. Installation warning Appears when switching on the AutoAnchor.
Go to Diagnostics for more information.
4. Motor externally
controlled.
1. Another control is being used for the windlass.
2. Solenoid common ground is not connected or swapped with an up
or down terminal.
3. Large voltage potential difference between AA710 Ground and
Solenoid common ground.
5. Power supply wired
incorrrectly.
The wiring diagram has not been followed. Power is backfeeding
to the AutoAnchor from a supply outside the control circuit. Refer to
wiring diagram. Common example of incorrect wiring is AA710 and
deck switches powered from separate sources.
