SETTING FOR A HIGH CURRENT FOOT SWITCH
This setting is only selected when the windlass foot switch is wired
directly into the high current side of the motor. If the “Hi current switch”
is not selected the AA710 will not be able to register the direction of the
windlass. The brown and white load wires must be connected for this
setting. Default is off.
SET UP AND TESTING
Before use the AutoAnchor must be correctly set up for the equipment it is to control and
then tested in a safe environment. The AutoAnchor will not count correctly if the windlass
selection is wrong or the windlass is not standard (eg it is installed with a different
chainwheel or motor).
PART 4 OPERATION
USER PRECAUTIONS
It is the owner’s sole responsibility to ensure the AutoAnchor is installed, used and
maintained in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage.
When using the AutoAnchor the operator must follow safe boating practices for all
equipment use.
• all equipment controlled by the AutoAnchor must be used strictly according to the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions;
• only persons who are fully aware of the correct use of the thruster, windlass
or auxiliary equipment should be allowed to use the AutoAnchor to control this
equipment;
• the user must personally control and supervise all anchoring, docking and
other equipment operations;
• the user must know the location of the main breaker or battery switch to
disconnect the windlass, thruster or auxiliary equipment from all power sources in
the event of an emergency;
• the power supply to all equipment must be turned off when it is not in use;
• there must be an alternative method available to operate the windlass, thruster or
auxiliary equipment;
• a failure of the wireless link will result in loss of control of the equipment
via the AA710.
When Controlling a Windlass
• maintain a clear view of the windlass, rode and/or anchor during windlass operation;
• always ensure the anchor is fully docked and secured before moving the boat.
When Controlling a Thruster
• do not operate close to swimmers, the powerful suction of water could cause serious
injury;
• never run the thruster out of the water, this can cause serious damage to the motor;
• running a thruster without resistance from the propeller can also cause serious damage
to the motor;
• if the thruster stops giving thrust while the motor is running, turn it off immediately.
The AutoAnchor manufacturer and supplier accept no liability for personal injury or property
damage resulting from failure to follow the installation and operating instructions or the use
of the AutoAnchor in a way that may cause accidents or damage or that may violate the law.
