2.4 VOLTAGE LEVELS
Neither the windlass nor th
e AutoAnchor will operate with insufficient power. (See minimum
voltages below). Batteries must be properly maintained and charged and all connections
and wires must be of good quality and the correct gauge to prevent voltage drop.

CABLE SPECIFICATIONS
All battery and motor cables must be ring type, insulated to prevent short circuits and
installed no closer than 1ft (300mm) away from the sensor head.

2.5 WIRING
Interlock protection is included in the system. Do not fit diodes or interlock devices to
windlass outputs as these will prevent the system from operating correctly.
All main power conductors and terminations are to be installed according to the windlass
manufacturer’s specifications. Seal terminals against moisture by spraying with CRC
[3013] Soft Seal or CRC [2043] Plasticoat 70. Insulation must be used to protect all
Insulation must be used to protect all
terminals.
To reduce the potential for interference all cables must be located at least 1.5ft (500mm)
away from any equipment or cables carrying radio signals eg VHF or SSB radios, cables
and antennas or radar antennas.
Do not leave cables hanging loose, they must be
tied in place with cable ties.
2.5.1 MOTOR LOAd WIRES (BROWN ANd WHITE) FOR ROPE & CHAIN
All-chain Counting:
If the AA560 is fitted to an
all-chain windlass
the brown and white
wires are not required.
Rope & Chain Counting:
The brown and white wires must be connected for rope & chain
counting. These wires are connected direct to the windlass motor terminals to measure
the load on the motor.
A 1000 Ohm resistor must be fitted near the motor terminal
for
short circuit protection. The motor load terminators supplied in the kit have motor terminal
connectors with a 1000 Ohm resistor prefitted.
2.5.4 PLUG & PLAy SENSOR CONNECTIONS
Refer to page 4 for plug and play sensor cable information.
2.5.2 MULTIPLE AUTOANCHOR INSTALLATIONS
It is important when wiring multiple AutoAnchor products that potential differences do not
occur along the ground connection. This can cause incorrect counting. Ensure consoles
are star grounded, and that there are no other high current paths between consoles.
All
wiring for multiple installations is run in parallel.
Refer to wiring diagrams for further
details.
2.5.5 WIRING dIAGRAMS FOR AA560
Wiring diagrams are included in the kit. Please refer to them for wiring detail.

2.5.3 CONNECTION TO LOW CURRENT WINdLASS dRIVES
When connecting to solid state switching or other low current windlass drives eg PLC or
AC variable frequency drives a dummy resistor load (Part # 9515) may be required to
provide sufficient loading and to meet EMC and safety considerations. The resistor pack
should be installed close to the windlass control
not on the AA560.
