ATTENTION!
A warning such as this indicates a reference to the application of safety practices, or draws the attention on unsafe behaviours
that might cause personal injuries or damages to the boat.
1.1 Purpose of the manual
This manual will supply information on safety and correct use of the product. Follow these warnings carefully to avoid possible
accidents or damages.
2.1 Contents of the package
- radio-chaincounter; - fastening kit for radio-chaincounter (1 bracket with 2 screws);
- power adaptor for lithium-ion battery charging; - receiver power unit;
- magnetic sensor; - magnet;
- horizontal shaft anchor windlass sensor support; - instructions for use.
1.2 Assistance
The Lofrans products are backed throughout the world by a network of authorised distributors and assistance. In case of need,
please contact your local Lofrans distributor. Details on website www.lofrans.com
2.2 Recommended accessories
Use exclusively original Lofrans accessories and spare parts, designed and manufactured to ensure performances, duration and for
keeping valid the warranty. For information on available spare parts, contact your local reseller or visit website www.lofrans.com
2.3 Installing the magnet on the anchor windlass
On a few models of anchor windlass the sensor and the magnet are already installed
(chain counter setting).Therefore, the operations described below are not necessary.
1. A hole having a diameter of 6.5 mm (~1/4”) and depth of 8 mm (5/16”) must be drilled on a
tooth of the gypsy, in a place outside the chain’s path.
2. In the case of horizontal shaft anchor windlasses (see Fig.), drill the hole in the outer
circumference of the gypsy.
3. Also make sure that the protruding part of the magnet will not collide with the base or sensor
during rotation of the gypsy.
4. Insert the metal part of the magnet in the hole, allowing the protected part to protrude by about
2 mm. Fix it in place using an adhesive for metals (two component epoxy glue) or silicone. The
glue used must be able to withstand a marine environment.
1.3 Receipt and Storage
Upon receipt of the package, verify the integrity of packing. Should it be necessary to store the product for a prolonged period,
keep it in a dry and protected place.
1.4 General notes
The Galaxy 703 chain counter must be used solely for the purposes described herein, i.e. to operate and display the number
of metres/feet of chain let out by an anchor windlass. Any other use is to be considered improper.
Any tampering with the instrument will result in immediate voiding of the warranty.

UK
2.5 Installing the chain counter
The chain counter must be positioned so that the display will be easy to read. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Secure the
instrument in place with the bracket provided, tightening the two screws using a cross screwdriver.
For instructions on making electrical connections, see the attached diagram. The wires must have a minimum cross section size
of 1.5 mm². Install a 5 A (ampere) fast safety fuse on the positive(+) wire of the battery. Do not use the voltage generated by the engine
battery set to provide power.
The instrument complies with EMC standards (EN55022) and must be positioned at a distance of:
- 30 cm (~1 Ft) from the compass; -50 cm (~1.5 Ft) from radio equipment;
- 2 metres (~6.5 Ft) from radio transmitter equipment; -2 metres (~6.5 Ft) from the radar beam.
- Transmission frequency 2,4GHz
2.4 Installing the magnetic sensor for horizontal shaft anchor windlasses
(see Fig. 2A – 2B – 2C)
Drill a 4 mm (~3/16”) hole in the cover through which to thread the sensor cable. Fasten Part A of the support with the two screws
provided, after having positioned the O-ring in the lower part of the support. Cut Part C to measure using a hacksaw. The sensor must be
positioned at a distance of about 3 mm (~1/8”) from the magnet. Fit Part C with the magnetic sensor on support A and x it in place using
an adhesive for plastic (two-component epoxy glue) or silicone. Using the same glue, attach the sensor to Part C.

is also a buzzer that indicates the pressing of the keys or attracts the user’s attention in particular conditions
(alarm triggering). The ON key switches on the display and enables the other two keys. It must be used to
access the parameter setting menus. For selecting the parameters to be modied and to conrm the values
set. The display backlight will switch off 30 seconds after the last command given (adjustable default time – see
“BkLight Time”).
The UP key commands the hoisting of the anchor and the DOWN key casts it. When the key is released, the
action is stopped. During parameter setting, the two keys allow the User to move around the menu and vary
parameter values.
4.2 Chain counter setting menu
When switched on, the instrument will make a beep and the following page will appear for a few seconds:
Once the initialisation procedure is complete, the main page will appear.
Where:
STATUS: indicates the status of the instrument and any failure.
SPEED’: indicates the chain speed during hoisting or lowering in meters per minute or feet per minute.
COUNT: indicates the measurement of the chain lowered (in metres or feet).
MONITORING: indicates the power supply voltage of the instrument and the power supply voltage of the boat.
ICONS: this is the part of the display bearing the icons that indicate the hoisting or casting of the anchor and any failure.
When the instrument is turned on for the rst time, it will set up as programmed in the factory (see table).
