Other windlasses
In order for the chain counter to measure the length of the chain lowered, it has to count the number of revolutions com-
pleted by the gear that drives the chain (gypsy).
A laps sensor kit is supplied with the chain counter.
This kit includes a cylindrical magnet, a magnetic field sensor and two plastic adaptors to be used to fix the sensor.
The magnet is to be fixed to the gypsy while the magnetic sensor is to be fixed to the windlass base
The standard installation procedure is described below. Unfortunately we cannot describe a procedure applicable to all
types of windlasses. Adapt this procedure to satisfy your own individual requirements.
