1 INTRODUCTION
2 INSTALLATION
2.3 Installing the magnet on the anchor windlass
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.
1. 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.
2. In the case of vertical shaft anchor windlasses (see Fig.1B), drill the hole
in the lower circumference of the gipsy.
3. In the case of horizontal shaft anchor windlasses (see Fig.2B), drill the hole
in the outer circumference of the gipsy.
4. 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.
