chain counter, seal and closure cover;
•
10-pole male connector with crimp-type10 male contacts;
•

•
support kit (support for the vertical shaft anchor windlass sensor, supporting
base, 2 fastening screws, O-ring);
•
magnet;
•
horizontal shaft anchor windlass sensor support;
•
instructions for use.
Installation
On a few models of anchor windlass the sensor and the magnet are already
installed (chain counter setting). Therefore, the operations described below
are not necessary.
Installing the magnet on the anchor windlass
•
A hole having a diameter of 6.5 mm (~1/4") and depth of 8 mm (5/16") must
be drilled on a tooth of the gipsy, in a place outside the chain's path.
•
In the case of vertical shaft anchor windlasses (see Fig. 1B), drill the hole in
the lower circumference of the gipsy.
•
In the case of horizontal shaft anchor windlasses (see Fig. 2B), drill the hole
in the outer circumference of the gipsy.
•
Also make sure that the protruding part of the magnet will not collide with
the base or sensor during rotation of the gipsy.
•
Insert the metal part of the magnet in the hole, allowing the protected part to
protrude by about 2 mm. Fix it in place using an adhesive for metals (two-
component epoxy glue) or silicone. The glue used must be able to
withstand a marine environment.
