12V or 24V DC power supply is required.Check battery polarity before connecting power and ensure output terminals will not short.Refer to the windlass manufacturers’ specifications for fuse/breaker, isolator and mainpower cable specifications.Ensure any fuse/breaker on the control circuit has a rating applicable to the current loadsconnected to the outputs. (AA560 Output maximum is 4 Amps).An additional isolating switch should be installed for controls if the main breaker or isolatoris not readily acessible from the helm.Multiple battery bank negative terminals must be permanently connected together tobecome the common negative return (ground).Power supply to the AA560 must be from the windlass control circuit, along with all otherwindlass controls eg. toggle switch, remote switches, deck switches, other AutoAnchordevices. Power supply must not be from the motor positive near the windlass.THE POWER SUPPLy MUST BE dISCONNECTEd WHEN INSTALLING,CONNECTING OR CHANGING THE WIRINGPOWER SUPPLy11VOLTAGE LEVELSNeither the windlass nor the AutoAnchor will operate with insufficient power. (See minimumvoltages below). Batteries must be properly maintained and charged and all connectionsand wires must be of good quality and the correct gauge to prevent voltage drop.If the windlass is already operating, this is the minimumvoltage required to continue operating.10 Volts20 Volts7 Volts14 VoltsMinimum voltage required to start windlass operation. 12V system24V system12V system24V systemMinimum Voltage Required
