PART 1 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
REAd BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE AUTOANCHOR
•
The AA560 should only be installed by a qualified marine electrician. Do not
attempt to install the AA560 unless you are suitably qualified.
•
This manual supports the use of the AA560 only. The appropriate manufacturer's
instructions must be followed for the installation and use of the windlass it is set
up to control.
•
There must be an alternative method available to operate the windlass.
•
The AA560 can be fitted to most vertical windlasses. A horizontal windlass may
require a sensor holder or a custom designed sensor which is not included in the
standard pack. Check with your supplier or the AutoAnchor manufacturer.
•
The AA560 must be fitted to a windlass with a dual direction control box or
solenoid pack.
•
Information for installation and operation of the AA560 is supplied, including
pre-set windlass profile lists, wiring diagrams, the Owner's Manual and
the Quick User Guide. All documents must be left on board for the owner.
•
Non compliance with the instructions could impair the windlass and the
AA560 operation, and could result in personal injury and/or damage to the boat.
•
Non compliance with the instructions will negate the manufacturer's warranty.
•
The AA560 manufacturer and supplier accept no liability for personal injury or
property damage resulting from failure to follow the installation and operation
instructions or the use of the AA560 in a way that may cause accidents or
damage or that may violate the law.
•
All the technical and cable specifications must be checked and adhered to.
•
Wiring diagrams must be followed without modification.
•
Before use the AA560 must be correctly set up for the windlass it is to control and
tested in a safe environment. The AA560 will not count correctly if the windlass
selection is wrong or the windlass is not standard (eg it is installed with a different
chainwheel or motor).
•
All installations must be carried out in accordance with USCG, ABYC, NMMA and
BMEA requirements.
•
When this product reaches the end of its useful life it must be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations.

FCC Information:
This device complies with CFR47 Part 15 of FCC Rules for Class B equipment.
ESTI Information (CE):
This device meets the relevant standards set out in European Standard EN 60945:2002 for
maritime navigation and radio communication equipment and systems. These standards
are intended to provide reasonable protection against interference by other emission
generating products on the boat. Compliance with these standards is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. The installation instructions must be
followed to minimise the potential for interference.
Note: If shielded cable is not used for the sensor connections this will compromise the
EMC and may invalidate the warranty.
The AA560 console must be installed at least 3ft (1m) away from any transmission
equipment or cables carrying radio signals eg VHF radios, cables and antennas or radar
antennas; and at least 6ft (2m) away from any SSB equipment. AA560 cables must be
installed at least 1.5ft (500mm) away from such items.
