2.2 CONSOLE INSTALLATION
Choose a position where the operator will be able to see the anchor and windlass when
using the AA560.
Mount on a flat surface at least 3ft (1m) away from any equipment or cables carrying
radio signals eg VHF radios, cables and antennas or radar antenna and at least 6ft (2m)
away from any SSB equipment. The front of the console is waterproof but the cable boot
on the back is designed to breathe. Mount the console so that the back is protected from
moisture. Refer to the drilling template to drill the 4 holes to mount the console. Do not
use sealer or glue. The rubber grommets will seal the unit. Do not use metal studs, nylon
bolts are supplied. These should be hand tightened only.

and other AutoAnchor products. T-adapters and 2m extension cables are available for
multiple installations. Refer to the wiring diagrams and pages 4 and 5 for details. If you
are uncertain how to proceed contact your supplier.
Multiple battery bank negative terminals must be permanently connected together to
become the common negative return (ground).
Power supply to the AA560 must be from the windlass control circuit, along with all other
windlass controls eg. toggle switch, remote switches, deck switches, other AutoAnchor
devices.
Power supply must not be from the motor positive near the windlass.
12V or 24V DC power supply is required.
