TROUBLESHOOTING
MESSAGES Cont’d POSSIBLE CAUSE/ACTION
3. Installation warning Appears when switching on the AutoAnchor.
Go to Diagnostics for more information.
4. Motor externally
controlled.
1. Another control is being used for the windlass.
2. Solenoid common ground is not connected or swapped with an
up or down terminal.
3. Large voltage potential difference between AA560 Ground and
Solenoid common ground.
5. Power supply wired
incorrrectly.
The AA560 will beep.
The wiring diagram has not been followed. Power is backfeeding
to the AutoAnchor from a supply outside the control circuit. Refer to
wiring diagram. Common example of incorrect wiring is AA560 and
deck switches powered from separate sources.
6.
Sensor:
No sensor
pulses detected.
Note: The AA560 will
continue to operate the
windlass up
and down in
manual mode when this
message is displayed. It will
not count.
1. Use manual operation to check the windlass speed is more than
the minimum operating speed of 5 metres per minute. Windlass
speed is displayed on the status bar.
2. Check the correct windlass set up and sensor has been selected.
See pages 15-18.
3. Check the magnet and sensor installation.
4. Check the magnet and sensor are not damaged (eg rusted
magnet).
5. Check the gap between the magnet and sensor is correct for your
set up.
6. If using a rope/chain system check that the sensor installation is
compatible with a rope/chain set up. See message 7 below.
7. Go to Diagnostics in the Set Up Menu to view sensor voltages.
See the tables on pages 28 -29.
7.
Sensor:
Sensor
installation not compatible
with rope and chain settings.
Note: The AA560 will
continue to operate the
windlass up and down in
manual mode when this
message is displayed.
Counting will not be
accurate.
APPLIES TO ROPE/CHAIN SYSTEMS ONLY
1. Check the correct windlass set up has been selected. See page
15.
2. Check magnet and sensor installation is correct. The grey AA
sensor must be installed for rope/chain counting. The magnet must
be installed in the top of the chainwheel and the sensor must be
fitted as per figure 5 on page 7.
3. Check that the load sensing wires are connected. Refer to the
rope/chain wiring diagram.
4. Go to Diagnostics in the Set Up Menu to view sensor
signal readouts. See tables on page 28 -29.
8.
Sensor:
Sensor tuning
and tuning done
1. The plug and play sensor detector is operating. Deploy the rode
through the windlass until the message changes to “Tuning done”
then dock the anchor. See page 21.
2. If the “sensor tuning” message does not change to “tuning
done” after 10 turns of the windlass, check the sensor installation is
correct.
9. Solenoid is disconnected,
shorted or stuck on.
1. Use another control to check the solenoid is operating the
windlass.
2. Go to Diagnostics in the Set up menu to view the solenoid wiring
readouts. See the table on page 29.
3. Check solenoid wiring for open circuit or short circuit.
