described
Operation/operation
Down = Out and Up
= Inn
Incident Description Comment Limitation
Main power to the
windlass control unit is
turned on
Check powerup. Fan runs 1 sec. Possibly, previ-
ously selected windlass mode will still be ena-
bled. Error codes reset.
Normal situation by anchoring for transit or
departure after anchoring.
Note! Windlass control unit do not "remem-
ber" where anchor is located, after beeing
unpowered. Can also be used for trouble-
shooting.
Since windlass control unit do not remember
where the anchor is located, will a normal
"inn"/pulling of anchor run not be possible
after powerup.
"Out" is pressed. Or
"out" is pressed and held
Rope windlass: Freefall activated (you can hear
the windlass motor run for 1 sec). Motor stops
after 1 sec whether "out" held in. Chain windlass:
"Out" is held as long as you wants to run out
anchor.
Rope is released and anchor can drop to the
bottom. When the anchor reaches the bot-
tom, the rope is still disengaged. The function
is completed profundity of 'out' button is
pressed or held down.
Anchor can be dropped at the desired posi-
tion, and the boat can sail to nal position
before freefall deactivates by pressing "up".
NB! Depending on the anchor dip angle of the
bracket, can some installations require help to
release the anchor.
"Do not press ""up"" before anchor has
reached the bottom.
NB! Motor always has a straight ow shift rest-
ing time of 1 second."
"inn" is pressed briefly
Anchor pulled slightly in. Rope is no longer
disengaged.
Used to adjust the anchor or to lock the rope. If you want to "attach" anchor, rope should be
attached to the boat (Mooring line or similar.)
Caution! When setting anchor, it may be dif-
cult to control applied load. Low drift when
releasing the rope (boat and rope is not in
line) can also cause heavy loads on the anchor
rollers and fastenings. Use a suitable mount-
ing point on the boat. Especially under rough
conditions.
"inn" is pressed and held
The windlass starts pulling the anchor The windlass goes from 0-100% speed in 3 sec
and continues untill the button is released or
rst end stop is activated.
Pull Speed: 20-25 m / min depending on load Long and heavy run on motor or short nearly
blocked run can cause the protection device to
stop the windlass. Other recorded errors can
also cause stops. (Error Codes is shown under
the cover on the control unit, see manual for
more information).
First end stop is detected
(NB end stop detected
during run)
Windlass stop Windlass stops. From this point the anchor can
be released again or pulled up (windlass will
be running at reduced speed if you continue
running towards second end top)
In most cases place the end stop to anchor
aprox 1 meter below the water surface. Then
you can carefully pull inn the anchor in order to
"wash" the anchor before it is pulled into inner
position
Continue pulling inn: Maximum allowed power
consumtion is limited to protect ttings, brack-
ets, platform and windlass.
Second end stop is
detected (NB end stop
detected during run)
Windlass stop From this point it is only possible to drop
anchor if the main power is cut. (Control unit
is reset)
This end stop should be positioned so the
anchor reaches correct position in the bracket
and the rope is tight.
Not possible to pull inn.
Double-tap, with hold on
second press 2
(2) Up slowly / anchor inn
(1) Normal inn
Windlass runs with 40% speed (approximately
8 m / min)
This is the only way to pull up the rope/anchor
directly after powerup. (Unpowered after
overnight)
Reduced power consumtion. Maximum run-
ning time on reduced speed = 30sec.
