OTHER TROUBLESHOOTING POSSIBLE CAUSE/ACTION
1. AutoAnchor counts when the windlass is
not turning or counts erratically displaying a
large number. The screen may display Sensor
unstable and the unit may beep when turned off
or locked.
1. Uncontrolled anchor rode could be running
through the windlass or there may be some
external interference.
2. The sensor may be damaged. The sensor
cable is not the specified type or the connection
may be faulty.
3. Check the sensor wiring. If the AA sensor
plug is not used the wires must be soldered. All
wires must be connected (including the drain)
and shielded cable must be used.
3. AutoAnchor counts but does not operate the
windlass
Total length of rode has been set to off.
AutoAnchor then operates as a counter only.
See page 39.
4. The count pauses during retrieval.
This applies to rope/chain rode only.
If the sensor indicator (arrow) is still pulsing, this
is not a fault. The rode is changing from rope
to chain.
5. The count stays on zero when rode is
deployed and counts out when rode is retrieved.
The unit is not receiving correct direction
information. Solenoid up and down wires are
swapped.
6. Windlass deploys when the Up button is
pressed and retrieves when the Down button is
pressed.
1. The motor or solenoid wiring is reversed.
Change the wiring and check the direction of
windlass rotation. If the brown and white wires
are connected, also check that they are correct
after you have changed the wiring.
2. Buttons are swapped in the windlass menu.
See page 34.
7. Windlass does not stop exactly at the preset
point.
Stopping is accurate to +1 chainwheel
revolution. The chainwheel will run on slightly
with momentum.
8. Windlass stops before the length of rode
specified is deployed.
Using the Automatic function the rode release
stops 10ft (3m) short of the Total Length of Rode
on Board setting.
AFTER ANY SENSOR REPAIRS OR CHANGES:
DOCK THE ANCHOR AND RESET THE SENSOR. SEE PAGE 37.
