3.2 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.

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 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 gipsy, in a place outside the chain’s path.
2. In the case of horizontal shaft anchor windlasses (see Fig.1), drill the hole in the outer
circumference of the gipsy.
3. Also make sure that the protruding part of the magnet will not collide with the base or
sensor during rotation of the gipsy.
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.

For instructions on making electrical connections, see the connector diagram 2.4. 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 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.
4.1 Starting up
The chain counter features a graphic display and three keys: (ON), (UP) and
(DOWN). There 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 modied and to conrm the values set.
The display backlight will switch off 30 seconds after the last command given (adjustable
default time – see “Light 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.

3.3 Installing the chain counter
(see connection diagram)
The chain counter must be positioned so that the display will be easy to read. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
The rear part of the instrument must be protected from contact with water or moisture. The instrument may be fastened to dashboards of
any thickness. The screws used for clamping must be of the selfthreaded kind and with a diameter of 3.5 mm (~9/64”) and a maximum
length of 10 mm plus the thickness of the dashboard. In the part to the rear of the dashboard there must be minimum clearance of 35
mm (1” 3/8) and there must also be adequate access to perform installation and maintenance work. On the dashboard make a hole
with a diameter of 50 mm (1” 31/32), as indicated, and 4 holes with diameters of 4 mm (~5/32”) for the chain counter clamping screws
according to the 2 alternatives options A or B provided for the wall mounting. The sealing rubber ange must be positioned between the
chain counter and the dashboard.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE BATTERY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
