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.

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.
