Auto stop function
All Engbo Maxi line windlasses feature an electronic auto
stop function. An electronic auto stop switch is positioned
below the windlass gypsy and registers the brass wire
indicators attached to the rope. When the first brass wire
indicator passes the sensor, the windlass will stop. If you
release the button on the control panel or remote control
and then press it again, the windlass will continue to reel
in the anchor at low speed until the second brass wire
indicator passes the sensor. The windlass will then stop
again.
NB
If you wish to continue to run the windlass after the
second auto stop, press the “up” button and hold it down
for 10 seconds.
Adjust the auto stop switch
This feature is normally correctly adjusted on delivery.
The flat end should usually protrude approx. 1 mm
from the holder towards the rope. If you need to
adjust it, loosen the bolt that holds the auto stop
switch in place and adjust it to the required position.
Then tighten the bolt again.
NB
Make sure that the anchor line cannot snag on the
inductive sensor.
Auto stop
– fitting the stop indicator/brass wire
An electronic auto stop switch is positioned below the rope guard. This switch triggers the
auto stop function when the anchor has been raised. To activate the switch, two brass
wire indicators are fitted to the rope to determine when the windlass is to stop. (Cut the
enclosed brass wire in two).
To position the brass wire indicators in the correct places on the rope, raise the anchor
until the thimble is approx. 30 cm below the anchor bracket (raise the anchor slowly
during the last stretch) and mark the rope right next to the auto stop switch.
Then carefully raise the anchor completely and seat it in the bracket. Set a new mark on
the rope by the sensor. Position the wire indicators by the marks (Picture 1)
Use an appropriate tool to pierce a hole through the rope (Picture 2).
Thread the brass wire through the rope and fold it lengthwise along the rope (Picture 3).
Wind the free end of the brass wire five (5) times around the rope and over the other end
of the wire (Pictures 4–5).
Wind the free ends together, cut the twist down to approx. 5 mm and bend it in under the
wire wrap so it cannot snag on anything (Pictures 6–9).
The outer diameter of the wire wrap should be almost the same as the outer diameter of
the rope so that the inductive sensor can detect the brass wire (Picture 10).
NB
The brass wire indicators may become worn by the gypsy – especially under heavy loads
– and you must therefore check them regularly. Replace damaged wire if necessary
