Anchor down
When the remote control is switched on, you can drop
the anchor by pressing the “down” button in. Keep this
button depressed for at least 1 second to drop the
anchor.
The windlass will then run out for 1.5 seconds to
ensure the correct release function.
Anchor up
When the anchor has dropped to the seabed, press the
“up” button to take up the slack. The windlass will
continue to winch in as long as you keep the “up”
button depressed. If the remote control has switched
off automatically (i.e. if you have not pressed a button
for more than 5 min) it will first switch on and then
immediately start to wind in the anchor rope/chain. The
windlass always starts to operate for 1.5 sec at reduced
speed before increasing to full speed.
This means that you can keep the windlass operating at
low speed by releasing and pressing the “up” button
repeatedly as required.
The “Power” indicator information:
Green light indicates that the remote control is ready
for use.
Orange light indicates that the power supply to the
windlass is not optimal, or that the windlass is
overloaded and needs time to cool down.
Red light indicates a system error or that the battery
charge is too low for the windlass to operate.
Red light flashing slowly accompanied by short
audio signals indicates that contact with the electronic
unit (receiver) cannot be established.
NB These error notifications will continue for as long as a
button is depressed.
Forced operation of the windlass
If you need to raise the anchor a little further than the
second “auto stop” mark, you can do so by keeping the
“up” button depressed for more than 10 seconds. The
windlass will then operate at low speed for as long as you
hold the button in.
NB. The use of this function must be closely
controlled to prevent damage.
