PART 2 INSTALLATION
2.1 INSTALLATION TO OPERATE A WINDLASS
2.1.1 MAGNET AND SENSOR INSTALLATION
PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION
Correct magnet and sensor installation is critical for successful AutoAnchor
operation.
The AutoAnchor can be installed on vertical windlasses, drum winches and most
horizontal windlasses. Installation differs depending on the windlass type and on the
rode (all-chain or rope and chain). Please follow the instructions for your windlass
and rode. If it is not possible to comply with these instructions please check with the
AutoAnchor manufacturer or your supplier for other options or if you are not sure how to
proceed.
2.1.2 MAGNET INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Check before starting. Your chainwheel may be prefitted with a magnet or predrilled
ready for you to fit the magnet.
Magnet Polarity: Not relevant when using the grey AA sensor (#9067) or a reed switch
sensor. If retrofitting, using the black AA sensor (#9008), the south pole (marked side) of
the magnet must face the sensor.
Magnet Seal: Insert the magnet into the hole and cover it with a minimum of 1mm of epoxy
to protect it against corrosion. See Fig 1 on page 8.
Magnet Size and Position: Refer to the instructions for your specific windlass type.
2.1.3 SENSOR INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Vertical Windlasses: The sensor is fitted in the deckplate. Some deckplates are predrilled
for the sensor. Others have a dimple or mark to show where the sensor should be fitted.
If the windlass is not factory drilled, drill a hole 10.3mm (13/32”) diameter through the
windlass deckplate. See the instructions for your specific windlass type.

VHQVRUWR\RXUZLQGODVV<RXPD\QHHGDVSHFLDO¿WWLQJ
Drilling the Deck: Before drilling into the deck, ensure there is nothing below the deck
that could be damaged and that any hole you drill will not weaken the boat’s structure. Drill
a hole 10.3mm (13/32”) diameter through the deck. Ensure this hole is directly in line with
the sensor hole in the deckplate.

Part #9507 Male Field Connector
Part #9508 Female Field Connector
If there is no plug on the sensor cable attach the AA field
connector to the wires and use the connecting cable as above.
2.1.4 PLUG AND PLAY SENSOR CABLE
The AutoAnchor plug and play sensor cable is 2 core tinned shielded cable. It must be
used to connect the sensor to the console unit. Ensure the connectors are firmly screwed
together.
The warranty does not apply if the sensor cable plugs are removed.
The sensor cable is fitted with a female plug to connect direct to the male connector on the
AA702 base station. If a longer length is required, sensor connecting cable, with a male
plug at each end, is available in the following lengths:
6.5 m (21.33 ft) Part #9500
10 m (32.81 ft) Part #9501
15 m (49.21 ft) Part #9502
20 m (66.62 ft) Part #9503
25 m (82 ft) Part #9504
35 m (114.83 ft) Part #9514
A 2m male/female cable (Part #9505) plus a gender changer (Part #9510) will be required
to connect the extension cable to the base station.
Field Connectors
Sensor Connection: The sensor is plugged direct into the AA702 base station. Do not
leave the cable hanging loose, it must be tied in place with cable ties. Extension cable,
gender changers and field connectors are available if required.
Sensor Plug
Fitting the Sensor: Do not force the sensor into the hole. Hammering the sensor head
can damage the internal electronics. Ensure the sensor head is positioned so that it will not
be hit by the chainwheel during windlass operation and that it is at least 300mm (1ft) away
from the battery and motor cables. Secure the sensor using a good quality neutral cure
silicone or a strong adhesive eg. Sikaflex 291 or 3M 5200.
Connecting 2 cables together:
If you need to extend the cable length - 2 cables can be joined
together using Part #9510 Gender Changer.

Dual Installation with Other AA Products
Use the T adaptor Part #9506 and the 2m Male/Female extension cable
Part #9505.
2.1.5 REED SWITCH SENSORS
Some windlasses are supplied pre-fitted with a reed switch sensor. Reed switch sensors
must have a 10mm x 8mm magnet (#9061) and the gap between the reed switch sensor
and the magnet must be a minimum of 3mm and a maximum of 5mm. This sensor requires
a field connector.
The AutoAnchor will operate with a reed switch sensor for all-chain rode. If using
combination rope and chain rode the reed switch sensor provides a reasonably accurate
count of rode deployed but on retrieval the display may be incorrect because it cannot
allow for the stretch in the rope.
For an accurate rope and chain count, the reed switch sensor should be replaced with the
AA grey sensor (#9067).
2.1.6 SENSOR TUNING
When the AutoAnchor is completely installed the sensor must be tuned. See the
instructions on page 37.
8
Magnet Fit: Drill a hole 10.3mm (13/32”) diameter and 9.5mm (3/8”) deep to fit the
magnet in the underside of a spoke in the bottom of the chainwheel. Cover the magnet
with a minimum of 1 mm epoxy. The magnet should be aligned with the sensor. See Fig 1.
2.1.7 INSTALLATION ON A VERTICAL WINDLASS - CHAIN ONLY
Magnet Size: Standard size is 10mm x 8mmm (#9061). This may be replaced with the
smaller 6mm x 4mm (#9009) magnet if required for your windlass.

Refer to the Overview Notes on page 5 before starting installation.
Sensor Connection: Ideally the sensor should be plugged directly into the AA702 base
station. If longer cable is required use the AA 2m male/female extension cable (Part
#9505) or one of the AA standard male/male extension cables plus the 2m cable and a
gender changer. Ensure the connectors are firmly screwed together. See the information
on page 6.
Loose cable should be tied in place with cable ties and kept clear of chain.
Sensor Position: The AA black sensor and the reed switch sensor must be fitted direclty
in line with the magnet in the chainwheel. See Fig 1 above. The AA grey sensor may be
fitted up to 20mm out of alignment. The gap between the sensor and magnet must be as
per the table below.
Note: If it is not possible to
align the sensor and magnet
exactly the AA grey sensor may
be fitted up to 20mm out of
alignment. The AA black sensor
and the reed switch sensor must
be directly aligned.

Magnet Fit: Some windlasses are predrilled and others need a special fit. Please check
with your supplier. The usual fit is as follows: Drill a hole 10.3mm (13/32”) diameter and
9.5mm (3/8”) deep into a spoke in the top of the chainwheel. Cover the magnet with a
minimum of 1mm epoxy. The magnet and sensor must be aligned so that the anchor rode
passes between them. See Figs 2 & 3.

2.1.8 INSTALLATION ON A VERTICAL WINDLASS - ROPE & CHAIN
For an accurate rope and chain count, the rode must run between the sensor and
magnet. If your windlass is prefitted with a magnet in the bottom of the chainwheel you
need to remove it and fit a new magnet in the top of the chainwheel. Refer to Figs 2-4.
Magnet Size: 10mm X 8mm magnet (#9061). An 8mm x 6mm magnet (#9052) may be
used on smaller windlasses. Check with your supplier.
Sensor Position: The sensor must be fitted into the deckplate within the sensor position
range at the stern end of the windlass (See Fig 5). It must also be aligned with the magnet
so that the rode passes between the sensor and the magnet. The centre of the magnet
and the centre of the sensor may be up to 10mm out of direct alignment (See Fig 3). The
gap between the sensor and magnet must be as per the table below.
