Magnet too close to sensor.
No sensor detected.
No sensor pulses detected.
Orange and yellow wires are swapped,
count incorrect.
Solenoid is disconnected or stuck on.
Solenoid output overloaded or shorted
to ground.
OTHER TROUBLESHOOTING
AutoAnchor counts when the windlass
is stopped or counts erratically
displaying a large number. The screen
may display
Sensor unstable”
The count pauses during retrieval.
Windlass deploys when the Up button
is pressed and retrieves when the
Down button is pressed.
Windlass does not stop exactly at the
preset point.
Windlass stops before the length of
rode specified is deployed.
Check magnet and sensor installation. (
Applies
to rope and chain installations only).
Check sensor diagnostics, the sensor installation
and set up.
Check sensor diagnostics, the magnet
installation, the gap and the sensor set up.
Fix the orange and yellow wire connections.
Check solenoid diagnostics to see which wire
is disconnected and/or check the solenoid
operation.
Check solenoid diagnostics to see which wire is
shorted.
The sensor may be damaged. The sensor cable
is not the specified type or the connection may
be faulty. Check the sensor wiring. Any joins not
made with the AA plugs must be soldered. All
wires must be connected (including the drain)
and screened cable must be used.
If the sensor indicator (arrow) is still pulsing, this
is not a fault. The rode is changing from rope to
chain.
The motor or solenoid wiring is reversed.
Change the wiring and check the direction of
windlass rotation. If the brown and white wires
are connected, also check that they are correct
for motor direction after you have changed the
wiring.
Stopping is accurate to +1 chainwheel
revolution. The chainwheel will run on slightly
with momentum.
Using the Automatic function the rode release
stops 10 ft (3m) short of the Total Length of
Rode on Board setting.
AFTER ANY SENSOR REPAIRS OR CHANGES TO SENSOR INSTALLATION RESET
THE SENSOR BY CLEARING TO ZERO TWICE.
