Windlass / Capstan mode
HC020 chaincounter has two different operating modes: Windlass mode and capstan mode:
When the device is turned on it is set in windlass mode, which is standard operating mode by default: it is
possible to operate the windlass obtaining lowered chain meters, chain speed and sensor error in case of
faults on the sensor installed on the windlass.
In capstan mode, capstan is put in motion for standard mooring operation, without sensor reading; this
way, the chain length doesn’t change, chain speed is not displayed, and no sensor signal is given as it is
not used when the chain is not in motion.
In order to shift from one mode to the other one, you need to press the button (ON) for about 3
seconds to make the icon change mode appear:
Release the button (ON) when the icon appears in order to do the mode change from windlass to
capstan and vice versa.
