Below all types of products we have on offer are listed. The standard windlass package includes a winch and 60 m anchor line, cabling (excluding power-supply cabling), an electronics box, a control panel 803 with switch-lever, the auto-stop function, a separate circuit breaker and board lead-through (leading-in) material. List of Products Windlass package, 12V or 24V, includes: Product No.
8 days from receiving the delivery. Supplies In order to assemble and fit the windlass system, in addition to delivered Anchoring-material and a set of standard tools, you will need: Fittings, i.e. screws in different sizes, nuts, washers etc. (see Chapter on Assembly) A drop of oil or grease for screw threads.
Designated Names A schematic plan of the main parts of our automatic windlass - what they’re called throughout this instruction and, schematically, how they relate to each other.
Plan out your assembly carefully before you start mounting the windlass. Then make a provisional fitting to control angles and distances. Please attempt to fit the anchor line so that it is out of the way when you move onboard, if possible, and make sure to mount appropriate protection (e.g.
Please observe that the anchor is pulled into its holdfast position by force of about 100 kg (800-1000 Newton), upon which the winch action is automatically stopped. In extreme situations, the winch may pull with a force of up to 1 metric ton during this moment –...
Consider the B and M Dimensions When you position the winch in relation to the rolls, you must keep to these measurement recommendations. Dimension B between the anchor and the nearest roll (illustrated below) should be 250 mm or more, the absolute minimum space being 150 mm. This is to allow the anchor end to move upwards when released.
Assembly Suggestions and Alternative Use We recommend that you place both the winch and the electronics box inboard, since they must be protected from flooding and breakers. If the winch is placed outboard on deck it should be covered by casing. Inboard placement with an Inboard stern placement with a anchor roller on deck.
Board Lead-through When the winch is placed inboard you will need to make a hole through the hull. The anchor line should travel through the centre of the lead-through without touching the sides, in order for the winching to work most favourably and to avoid fraying the line. Consequently, the board lead- through should be placed directly in line with the anchor-line route –...
Anchor Rollers Place the holdfast anchor roller at a position where anchor line and anchor travels freely. Aim to place the holdfast far away from the hull so that the anchor can oscillate without crashing into the boat when being winched. The edge of the holdfast’s bottom plate should be positioned level with the edge of the boat or the landing –...
Anchor Davits The anchor davit is most commonly used on sailing boats with inverted or integrated transom sterns, where a regular holdfast roll would be inadequate. A davit consists of the davit-housing containing a spring and a spring plate, a launch arm and an anchor roller, product no. 702. Furthermore, we include an anchor support which holds the anchor in a backward-leaning position.
The spring can be placed in three alternative position; b-c, c-d, d-e, (see below) and is fastened under the spring plate with the same screws that hold the davit housing. Position c-d is standard, position b-c lifts the arm and d-e lowers it. To minimize V, avoid placing the spring between b-c, rather use d-e.
Casings The external measurements for the winch casing are 425 x 380 x 230 mm. The casing is fastened, covering the winch, with two screws holding it in position (see below). Take off the side plates on the winch to get to thread the screws. The screws are fastened to the flange with adjustment nuts –...
Recommendations for the Electrics and Placing of Electrical Components The following instructs you on calibrations that must be made during assembly. Look up the terminal diagram for reference on page 9 in this chapter. But first of all; some good advice on handling electrical components. Important! Protect all live equipment against water.

The motor current is automatically broken when the set power limit is reached = pre-set during manufacturing to circa 1000 N, i.e. 80 - 100 kg. You set this position by turning the rotary switch BCD1 on the CPU-card in the electronics box.
Position, BCD1 C (measure), m Not allowed!!! Step by step: Measure C, anchor-end to line distributor when in Rinsing Position. Read the rotary-switch position for BCD1 from the table. Turn off operating power. Set BCD1. Switch the power back on. Test the setting be unfurling enough anchor line band to have the calibration gauge pass the line distributor.
To increase traction power, you turn the potentiometer clockwise – no more than ½ mm at a time since the control is extremely sensitive. Test the windlass on each new setting. The potentiometer is pre-set to 800-1000 Newton (circa 100 kg). If this is not handled with unreserved caution, the boat and fastenings can be seriously damaged! Upon hoisting the anchor from the rinsing position to holdfast, the diode on the control panel won’t...
Control Panels As pointed out earlier, there is a control panel named 803 with a switch-lever, which comes as a standard with the windlass package. The other type, no. 801, is available to order and sports membrane-switches and a digital display. The panel is delivered showing metric values in Europe and foot in the US.
Remote Control The remote-control system consists of a handheld transmitter on a key-ring and a mounted receiver with an aerial. The range of the remote system, with the aerial positioned correctly, is up to 30 meters provided sight is clear and reception is normal. The aerial should be fully extended and placed openly and as high up as possible on deck.
This section offers you a complete description of how you operate the windlass with the different steering devices we offer, in addition to some good advice and troubleshooting tips. Important! Operating power should always be turned off during voyage and at other times when the windlass is not being used.
UP and DOWN-button respectively. General Description of Control Functions Anchoring You release the clutch to drop the anchor by clicking on DOWN once. The motor reverses automatically to aid releasing of the clutch and the anchor rode unfurls by the anchor’s weight. If you have ordered Reverse Feed as an extra function, the anchor line is fed out for as long as you press and hold the DOWN key/switch.
Pressing and holding UP = winching. You can slow the winching action down by pressing and releasing UP intermittently. Anchoring, Step by Step… Lowering the anchor: Turn the power on. The panel light indicates system is ready with green flash, slow pulse.
…with an Anchor Davit Winching out from normal holdfast position: Stretch the anchor rope (= rope securing the anchor to boat). Click on DOWN to disengage. Release the anchor gradually by letting go of rope until the launch arm is level with the spring or the anchor has dropped.
(1,5 Hz) = UP, and slow (0,7 Hz) = ready. Adjustments If you wish to adjust the anchor’s dropping position during the anchoring manoeuvre you can press UP to discontinue or haul, then release the clutch again by clicking on DOWN once you are in the desired location.
It should be simple to use Anchoring1000 Automatic Windlass. After a few practise runs, you will master the system well. Do practise anchoring and the other manoeuvres in your home port in order to get used to the windlass. Maintenance The anchor line should be cleaned in preparation for winter and spread out to dry during storage.
The potentiometer that adjusts traction in the low-energy phase, between rinsing position and holdfast, is pre-set to 800-1000 Newton (circa 100 kg). If it needs to be increased, e.g. when using and anchor davit, it should be noted that this instrument is extremely sensitive and should only be turned ½...

This section is aimed at the techno-buff with a special interest in the technical attributes of the construction. Thus, it is not of any direct importance for learning hands-on use of the windlass, but can give deeper understanding of how this contraption functions.
