Sensor Installation diagnostic Messages
These messages appear when the AA560 is turned on. Go to the extended diagnostics for more
information. After fixing the sensor installation retune the sensor. See page 21.
Red sensor wire
The Red sensor wire is overloaded below 2.5 volts
grounded
Disconnect the plugs one at a time to locate the short or
excessive load.
If no short is found, the sensor may be damaged. Try a new sensor.
Windlass will operate but not count.
No Sensor pulses
Electrical connections are OK (voltages are correct) but no sensor pulses
are being received by the console and it is not counting.
Rotate the windlass to check for signal voltage. If there is still no signal
either the magnet or the sensor needs replacing. Check the magnet is
strong and not rusted and check the sensor for physical damage.
Sensor installation
A rope/chain rode has been selected but the installation is not compatible
not compatible with
with this selection.
rope and chain set-
The system is tuned to the Signal B sensor input (all chain) instead of
tings.
Signal C sensor input (rope/chain).
Possible causes:
Magnet is installed on the bottom of chainwheel instead of the top
The sensor is not the grey AA sensor.
The windlass has been operated with no chain so the tuning is incorrect.

Possible Causes and Solutions
Check the solenoid wires are properly connected.
Solenoid common ground is not connected or swapped with an up or down

terminal.
The load connected to the solenoid wires is insufficient. Check that each sole-
noid wire has a load of more than 10mA (12V DC) or 20mA (24V DC).
The idle voltage is greater than 2.0V - this can occur when connecting to a
solid state or low current drive windlass control eg PLC or AC VFD. A dummy
resistor load Part #9515 may be required to fix this.

These wires are used for combination rope and chain rodes. They are
not required for chain only use.
10.7 V
Load wires
When correctly connected to the motor teminal both wires show nearly zero
volts at idle. Under load they show motor ground and supply terminal voltages.
The voltage at the time of failure is recorded on the status bar.
Battery
This page records the voltage drop when the motor is started. In this example
the supply voltage to the AA560 fell below 6V for a short period.
5.6 V
The power supply wiring has high resistance or is too thin for the distance of
the run or the ground wire is disconnected.
