Remote Operation To switch on the Remote press and hold down both buttons for 2 seconds. The green led will light up indicating that the remote is now ‘awake’. Release both buttons and the green led will go out and the Remote is ready for use. The Remote switches itself off after 10 minutes of inactivity. The 2 second ‘switch on’ routine is a deliberate safety measure to prevent unintentional operation of the windlass In normal operation the green led is on continuously while a button is pressed.
Batteries The Remote uses 3 x AAA 1.5v Lithium Iron batteries (Energizer Ultimate Lithium). These are non- rechargeable. We strongly recommend that only this battery type be used, as they do not leak. They have a shelf life in excess of 20 years and operate from -40°C to 60°C. The supplied batteries have sufficient capacity to allow for 5 minutes of windlass operation every day for 2 years. As such, most recreational users are unlikely to ever need to replace the batteries.
Receiver Operation Each Receiver has a unique ID code that is factory programmed. Additional Remotes can be supplied, however only one Remote should be used at a time. The Receiver can be connected to work in parallel with foot switches, cockpit controls or cabled remotes. The Receiver detects if the windlass is already under external control to avoid conflict situations. Power Connections The Receiver is powered from the boat’s battery, and versions are available for 12v and 24v operation.
The mounting holes for the Receiver enclosure can be accessed by opening the lid. To open the Receiver lid insert a small (3.5mm) flat bladed screwdriver in the slot as shown and pivot the screwdriver to the right. A Receiver Mounting Template is provided.
Installation Simple Installation A high current supply from the boat’s battery goes to a Circuit Breaker (typ. 180 amp), and then on to the centre power connection on the Control Box. The power supply connections for the Receiver are connected to the 0v (black) and +12v/+24v (red).
The yellow ‘Up’ and blue ‘Down’ wires from the receiver connect to the control inputs of the Control Box. Dual Control Installation The Windlass Radio Remote can be wired in parallel with a cabled remote or foot switches. The Receiver senses if the cabled remote / foot switches are being used to avoid conflict situations. The above wiring diagrams show typical installations and will be applicable in the great majority of installations.
Special Functions Programming a Spare Remote Spare Remotes can be ordered and are factory programmed with the ID of the Receiver. If a Remote has not been preprogrammed it can be programmed insitu on the boat. The Remote must be in 'sleep' mode i.e. after 10 mins of inactivity. Switch off power to the Receiver for 5 seconds and then switch it on again. You now have 1 minute in which to program the Remote. Press and hold both buttons on the Remote for 20 seconds (30 secs max).
