12V or 24V DC power supply is required to the AA702 base station.Check battery polarity before connecting power and ensure output terminals will not short.Refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for fuse/breaker, isolator and main powercable specifications, for the equipment being controlled by the AA710.Ensure any fuse/breaker on the control circuit has a rating applicable to the current loadsconnected to the outputs. (AA702 Output maximum is 4 Amps). An additional isolatingswitch should be installed for controls if the main breaker or isolator is not readily acessiblefrom the helm.Multiple battery bank negative terminals must be permanently connected together tobecome the common negative return (ground).Windlass InstallationsPower supply to the AA702 base station must be from the windlass control circuit, alongwith all other windlass controls eg. toggle switch, remote switches, deck switches, otherAutoAnchor devices. If more than 1 base station is installed it is recommended that thewindlass be attached to the master base station.Multiple Base Station Installations• The master base station must be powered up when using a slave base stationapplication.• Separate base stations may be powered from separate supplies, however, if 2 productsare connected to the same base station they must be powered by the same supply,or relays must be used as a means of isolation.• To maintain power to the windlass it is recommended that the windlass be attached to themaster base station.THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED WHEN INSTALLING,CONNECTING OR CHANGING THE WIRINGPOWER SUPPLY13VOLTAGE 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
