4. Secure the wire coil to the anchor rode as shown in Fig 3.1 to 3.6
• Use an appropriate tool to pierce a hole through the rope.
• Push the brass wire through the rope and fold it lengthwise along the rope
• Wind the free end of the brass wire 8 times around the rope and over the other end of the wire.
• Knot and wind free ends together, trim down to approximately 5mm and secure under the wire wrap.
Note: The outer diameter of the wire wrap should be almost identical as the outer diameter of the rope so that the
sensor can detect the brass wire.
The brass wire may become worn by the sheave, especially under heavy load, it must therefore be checked regu-
larly and replaced if necessary.
5. Lower the anchor a few metres,then haul in. The Auto-stop
will activate, stopping the anchor as it breaks the water.
• The anchor can then be stowed by pulsing the windlass
while watching that the anchor is stowing correctly.
• Adjust the sensor height if required.
Note: During use the anchor rode may stretch, so the position
of the wire coil may also need adjusting.
