HORIZONTAL WINDLASS MANUAL VOLUME ONE
5.2 Wiring5.2 Wiring
Plan the installaon to suit the controls and give the operator a full view of the windlass. The
wiring system should be of the fully insulated type, which avoids possible electrolyc corrosion
problems.
We recommend the use of type III stranded, nned copper wire with copper crimp
terminals (NOTE: we recommend that the cable are shorter if possible.). Most modern installa-
ons are negave return (negave ground) but polarity should be checked. Overload protec-
on, in the form of the circuit breaker provided must be built into the windlass wiring circuit.
• Circuit breaker supplied:
Atlanc 600 Series (Circuit Breaker: 60 Amps - 80 Amps)
Atlanc 900 Series (Circuit Breaker: 80 Amps)
• The circuit breaker should be posioned close to the baery in a dry, readily accessible place.
• The breaker must be manually reset should an overload occur that causes it to trip to the o
posion.
Warning
If you are not sure you understand these guidelines, seek professional help. Ensure that the
installaon complies with USCG, ABYC, NMMA or other local regulaons.
