TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS AA560

PART 2 INSTALLATION

The windlass must be installed according to the windlass manufacturer’s instructions with

the correct size rope and chain. It must also be regularly serviced and lubricated. For

smooth operation, the windlass requires a good quality bow roller and a swivel where the

anchor joins the chain.

RODE

Combination Rope and Chain Rode: must have a minimum of 10 ft (3 m) of chain. Chain

must be galvanised steel. Rope should be a good quality, nylon anchor rope. Type 66 or

equivalent.

Chain Only Rode: can be stainless or galvanised steel.

MAGNET AND SENSOR INSTALLATION

Critical to Operation: Correct magnet and sensor installation is critical to windlass

operation using the AA560. If it is not possible to comply with these instructions please

check with the AutoAnchor manufacturer or your supplier for other options. Some

windlasses are predrilled for sensor and magnet tting.

Reed Switch Sensors: Some windlasses are supplied pre-tted with a reed switch

sensor. Reed switch sensors can only count the revolutions of the chainwheel. This works

for a chain only windlass but it does not provide an accurate count for rope and chain rode.

If you use a reed switch sensor with rope and chain, the display may read zero when there

is rode still deployed. For an accurate rope and chain count, the reed switch sensor should

be replaced with the AA grey sensor (#9067). Reed switch sensors must have a 10mm x

8mm magnet (#9061) and the gap between the reed switch sensor and the magnet must

be a minimum of 3mm and a maximum of 5mm.

Magnet Fit: If your chainwheel is not predrilled,

drill a hole 6.5mm (1/4”) diameter and 5mm

(3/16”) deep to t the magnet in the underside

of a spoke in the bottom of the chainwheel. The

magnet must be aligned with the sensor.

See Fig 1.

Magnet Seal: Insert the magnet into the hole and

cover it with a minimum of 1mm of epoxy to seal

it from salt water. Failure to do this will impair the

magnet’s strength and durability.

MAGNET INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL WINDLASSES

Magnet Size: 6mm x 4mm magnet (#9009).

A larger magnet may be used. Check with

your supplier.

Magnet Polarity: Not relevant when using the grey AA sensor (#9067) or a reed switch

sensor. If retrotting, using the black AA sensor (#9008) the south pole (white side) of the

magnet must face the sensor.

Vertical Windlasses Using Rope and Chain Rode

The rode must run between the sensor and magnet for an accurate rope and chain count.

If your windlass is pretted with a magnet in the bottom of the chainwheel you need to

remove it and t a new magnet in the top of the chainwheel. Refer to Fig 2.

Magnet Size: 10mm x 8mm magnet (#9061).

An 8mm x 6mm magnet (#9052) may be used on

smaller windlasses. Check with your supplier.

Magnet Fit: If the windlass is not pre-drilled, drill a

hole 10.3mm (13/32”) diameter and 9.5mm (3/8”)

deep into a spoke in the top of the chainwheel.

The magnet and sensor must be aligned so that

the anchor rode passes between them. (See Figs

2 & 3). The centre of the magnet and the centre of

the sensor may be up to 10mm (3/8”) out of direct

alignment. (See Fig 6). Templates and drilling

instructions are supplied for some windlasses.

Magnet Seal: Insert the magnet into the hole and

cover with a minimum of 1mm of epoxy to seal it

from salt water. Failure to do this will impair the

magnet’s durability.

SENSOR INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL WINDLASSES

For accurate rope and chain counting the AA560 must be tted using the grey AutoAnchor

sensor (#9067) supplied in the kit. Some windlasses are pretted with a reed switch sen-

sor. The reed switch sensor can be used for chain only counting.

The sensor is tted into the windlass deckplate. Some windlasses are predrilled for the

sensor. Others have a dimple or mark to show where the sensor should be tted. Check

with the AutoAnchor or windlass supplier if you are not sure where to drill for the sensor.

Sensor Position for Vertical Windlasses Using Chain Only Rode: The sensor hole

can be drilled anywhere on the deckplate provided it is in alignment with the magnet in the

chainwheel and the gap between the sensor and magnet will be correct.

Sensor Position for Vertical Windlasses Using Rope and Chain Rode: The hole must

be within the sensor position range at the stern end of the windlass (See Fig 5). The

sensor must also be aligned with the magnet so that the rode passes between the

sensor and the magnet. The centre of the magnet and the centre of the sensor may be up

to 10mm out of direct alignment. (See Fig 6)

Drilling the Deckplate: If the windlass is not factory drilled, drill a hole 10.3 mm (13/32”)

diameter through the windlass deckplate. Some windlasses will be marked for sensor

tting. Check the AutoAnchor drilling templates supplied with this kit.

Drilling the Deck: Before drilling into the deck, ensure there is nothing below the deck

that could be damaged and that any hole you drill will not weaken the boat’s structure. Drill

a hole 10.3mm (13/32”) diameter through the deck. Ensure this hole is directly in line with

the sensor hole in the deckplate.

Fitting the Sensor: Do not force the sensor into the hole. Hammering the sensor head

can damage the internal electronics. Ensure the sensor head is positioned so that it will not

be hit by the chainwheel during windlass operation and that it is at least 300mm (1ft) away

from the battery and motor cables. Secure the sensor using a good quality neutral cure

silicone or a strong adhesive eg. Sikaex 291 or 3M 5200.

Sensor Connection: Refer to the wiring diagrams for the sensor connection. If the

AutoAnchor plug in cable is not used all sensor wires must be soldered and sealed

in adhesive heat shrink tubing. Refer to the sensor splice sheet. Do not leave the

cable hanging loose, it must be tied in place with cable ties. Extension cable and eld

connectors are available for the AutoAnchor plug in sensor connections.

Before starting check with the AutoAnchor manufacturer, or supplier, that you can

t a sensor to your windlass. There are several sensor options for windlasses using

chain only rode but if your windlass uses rope and chain rode it may not be possible

to t the sensor for an accurate rope count.

HORIZONTAL WINDLASSES

Magnet Size: 6mm x 4mm magnet (#9009).

A larger magnet may be used. Check with your supplier.

Magnet Fit: If your chainwheel is not predrilled, drill a hole 6.5mm (1/4”) diameter and

5mm (3/16”) deep in the underside of a spoke or in the edge of the chainwheel.

See Fig 7a & 7b.

Magnet Seal: Insert the magnet into the hole and cover it with a minimum of 1mm of epoxy

to seal it from salt water. Failure to do this will impair the magnet’s strength and durability.

Gap Between the Sensor and Magnet:

Grey or Flat 3 wire AutoAnchor Sensor (#9067 or #9058):

6mm x 4mm Magnet (#9009): Minimum 3mm and Maximum 30mm

For an accurate rope and chain count the rode must run between the sensor and magnet.

On a horizontal windlass this area is limited to the top of the stern quadrant. (See Fig 12).

To count rope and chain the sensor must be tted within this quadrant.

Fig 12

Horizontal Windlasses Using Rope and Chain Rode

It may not be possible to t the sensor to achieve an accurate rope and chain count on your

horizontal windlass. Please check with the AutoAnchor manufacturer, or supplier, to see if

you can t the AA560 to your windlass.

Some windlasses are designed with a space to t

the sensor internally. For other windlasses it may

be possible to use the AutoAnchor at sensor and

x it inside the windlass housing (See Fig 13b) or,

on the exterior of the windlass housing behind the

chainwheel. (See Fig 13a). The magnet must be

aligned with the cross on the at sensor.
