INSTALLATION
CHAIN COUNTER CALIBRATION
Before using the chain counter, either the manual or automatic calibration procedure has to be effected.
The calibration procedure consists of setting the following data: unit of measurement used by the chain
counter, lenght of chain unwound each gypsy lap and number of magnets installed on the gypsy.
To calibrate, go to menu CALIBRATION or AUTO CALIBRATE (see chapter SETTING THE CHAIN COUNTER).
MULTIPLE CHAIN COUNTERS
The chain counter is equipped with a CAN BUS data interface that allows several chain counters to be
connected and information to be exchanged (CAN network).
A MASTER/SLAVE network structure is used, i.e. there is only one main chain counter (MASTER) and all the
other chain counters are secondary (SLAVE). The network must have at least one MASTER chain counter.
The task of the MASTER chain counter is to align the length of the chain lowered and operating param-
eters of all the SLAVE chain counters. The MASTER therefore is used as a reference for all the other SLAVE
chain counters.
If a parameter in a menu for a SLAVE chain counter is modified, the change is actually made to the MAS-
TER chain counter that will automatically update all the SLAVE chain counters (except for menu PERSON-
AL SET, UTILITY and CAN CONFIG that cointain particular functions and parameters for every single chain
counter not shared in network with the other chain counters).
The MASTER chain counter should be on even if the commands to the windlass are transmitted from
SLAVE chain counters or other windlass operation switches.
If the MASTER chain counter should malfunction, one of the SLAVE chain counters can be set up as the
MASTER.
Before using the chain counters on the CAN network, make sure the MASTER and SLAVE settings of all
the chain counters are correct and that the network works in a trouble-free manner.
