2.1.1 MAGNET AND SENSOR INSTALLATION
PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION
Correct magnet and sensor installation is critical for successful AutoAnchor
operation.
The AutoAnchor can be installed on vertical windlasses, drum winches and most
horizontal windlasses. Installation differs depending on the windlass type and on the
rode (all-chain or rope and chain).
Please follow the instructions for your windlass
and rode.
If it is not possible to comply with these instructions please check with the
AutoAnchor manufacturer or your supplier for other options or if you are not sure how to
proceed.
