INSTALLING THE CHAIN COUNTER
The standard installation procedure is described below.
Unfortunately we cannot describe a procedure applicable to all types of windlasses.
Adapt this procedure to satisfy your own individual requirements.
Find the spot most suitable for the chain counter based on the following criteria:
• The chain counter should be in a position where the operator can easily read it.
• Choose a clean, smooth and flat surface.
• The operator must be able to access the chain counter from the back for installation and maintenance.
• Enough space should be present behind the spot selected where the back of the chain counter and
connectors are to be placed (space for the entire chain counter if installed behind the panel).
• The back of the chain counter should be protected against humidity or water contact.
• Pay careful attention when drilling holes in the panels or parts of the boat. These holes must not weak-
en the boat framework or cause cracks.
• When installing the chain counter off the panel, the maximum allowable thickness of the surface is
20 mm (with the stud bolts provided).
• When installing the chain counter behind the panel the maximum allowable thickness of the surface is
4 mm.
The chain counter meets standard EMC (electromagnetic compatibility).
In any case correct installation is fundamental in order not to affect its performance or interfere with op-
eration of instruments found near it.
For this reason the chain counter must be at least:
• 25 cm away from the compass.
• 50 cm away from any radio receivers.
• 1 m away from any radio transmitters (except for SSB).
• 2 m away from any radio transmitters SSB.
• 2 m away from the path of the radar beam.
