Before Installation

Before installation, record the version number of your winch and the serial number of your motor in the space provided on the front cover of this manual for future reference.
These details can be found as shown below.

Installation Instructions

STEP 1 Determine the position of the winch and motor unit
- Magnetic fields in the motor may affect compasses even when the motor is not in use. Install the motor at least 1m (3ft) away from any compass, and always have your compass recalibrated after installation.
- The winch should be positioned with the recommended line entry angle of 3-8° from horizontal.
- Refer to the Winch Data Sheet for your winch model for clearance/space requirements for the motor unit below the deck. You may choose to drill a small pilot hole to indicate the position of the center of the drive shaft, to assist with this.
- Note the location of the drain port in the base of the motor. If the mounting surface is not horizontal due to deck camber or other factors, plan the installation such that the drain port is situated at the lowest point about the slope of the mounting surface. The drain tube [A14] will be attached to this port to allow any moisture from condensation to escape and drain to the bilge.
STEP 2 Install the deck plate
- A stainless steel deck plate [5] is included with the Compact Motor™ unit. The drilling template [A3] can be used to identify the locations on the deck for the mounting holes and deck cut-outs.
- The 28ST and 34ST winches have a fixed self-tailing arm, so it is important to position the deck plate in the correct orientation to obtain the desired arm position. The self-tailing arm of the 40ST winch can be adjusted after installation into one of eight different positions, as indicated on the drilling template.
- The self-tailing arm should be positioned to allow the rope to drop clear of the winch as it feeds out of the self-tailer. Positions will typically be as indicated by the shaded sectors in the diagram.
- After confirming the mounting location and orientation of the winch, clean the mounting surface and place the template in the required position on the deck. Ensure that the surface is flat and there is adequate space and clearance on deck for the winch base and below deck for the motor.
- With the drilling template in the desired orientation, cut the Ø86mm (3 3/8’’) hole for the motor drive shaft housing.
- Drill the Ø6.5mm holes for the M6 deck plate mounting bolts (or Ø9/32” holes for 1/4” bolts).
- Clean any wood or fiberglass splinters from the holes, and clean the deck thoroughly to ensure the deck sealant can adhere properly.
- Apply sealant to the deck where the deck plate will be fixed. For aluminium boats use a galvanic isolating ring/gasket.
- Fit the deck plate to the deck using appropriate length M6 or 1/4” countersunk head bolts, large washers or backing plates, and locking nuts.
STEP 3 Fit the motor unit to the deck plate
- Correct alignment of the motor during assembly is essential. Improper alignment can cause excessive noise and vibration and lead to premature wear of bearings and gears. For best results, the following steps should be carried out by two persons.
- Back out the locking grub screw [2] and use the pin spanner [A8] to remove the clamping ring [3] from the top of the drive shaft housing, taking care that the O-ring underneath remains in place.
- Screw the M6 eye bolt [A7] into the threaded hole in the top of the drive shaft. Attach a strong rope or use a lifting device to raise the motor unit into position under the deck so that the drive shaft protrudes through the large octagonal hole in the deck plate.
- Align the motor unit so that the protruding octagonal detail at the top of the drive shaft housing mates snugly with the octagonal recess in the deck plate, for a uniform flush fit.
- Fit and securely tighten the clamping ring using the pin spanner, then insert and tighten the locking grub screw. Watertight assembly is ensured by the O-ring under the deck plate; no additional sealant is required.
- Refer to the diagrams below to check for correct clearance and alignment.
STEP 4 Fit drain tube.
- Remove the plastic plug from the drain port fitting and push the drain tube [A14] into the fitting until it stops.
- Lead the drain tube below deck to a low point in the boat where it can drain to the bilge, then cut off any excess length.
- At most there should only ever be a drop or two of water from condensation that will pass through the tube.
STEP 5 Install the push button
- The push button requires a 50mm (2”) clearance depth below the mounting surface. It is supplied with a short 190mm (7 1/2”) long cable lead; this is connected below deck to the 1000mm (39”) long control cable [A12] and then to the short cable leads from the motor.
- Extension cables are available and may be ordered separately if necessary.
- Select the desired location. For safety reasons, it is recommended that the push button [A1] is located near the winch, preferably within reach.
- Determine the preferred orientation of the hinged cover (on vertical surfaces it should open upwards). Then using the drilling template or the rubber gasket [A2] as a guide, drill a Ø25mm (1”) hole.
- Drill a Ø3mm (1/8”) hole in each of the three mounting screw locations.
- Fit the gasket and push the button in place. Secure the push button unit with the 3x M4x20mm self-tapping screws [A10], using a small amount of sealant at each hole.
- Ensure that the breather channel on the side of the through-deck tube of the push button is clear and free of dirt or sealant.

Important Notes – Electrical Installation

Incorrect electrical installation will result in permanent damage to the motor and invalidation of the warranty.

Warning!

The positive cable (+RED) must be connected to the positive (+RED) terminal of the motor. Incorrect polarity will cause permanent damage to the motor.

Operation

The Andersen Compact Motor™ electric winch uses a brushless DC motor.
Brushless DC motors draw current from the battery when operating, and can send current back to the battery when spinning down unloaded.
Avoid operating the winch using the motor at high speed with no load on the drum, as spinning down an unloaded motor at high speed can stress the motor and battery and could result in reduced service life or damage to the motor, battery or other elements of the system.

Further Considerations

Always disconnect power when not in use, and before performing any service or maintenance work on an electric winch.
Use only an original Andersen control cable to connect the push button to the Compact Motor™. Extension cables may be ordered separately.
Use only the Andersen circuit breaker supplied with your Compact Motor™; do not use it with other devices.
Supply power to the motor only from the battery; never from an external power supply.
Refer to the wiring diagram and cable size recommendations in the Andersen Winch Data Sheet for the model and voltage corresponding to your Andersen Compact Motor™ Electric Winch.
Never use solvents for cleaning control cables or wires – use only alcohol for this purpose.
Failure to observe these notices will invalidate the warranty.

Motor Detail

STEP 6 Prepare the power cables
- Choose the shortest and most direct route possible for the cables, to minimize voltage drop between the battery and the motor.
- Measure the distance from the battery to the motor, and back again via the circuit breaker, to determine the necessary total cable length.
- Consult the table in the Winch Data Sheet for the model and voltage corresponding to your Andersen Compact Motor™ Electric Winch, to determine the minimum wire size for your cables according to the total cable length required for your installation. If in doubt, consider choosing a thicker cable as this will help to minimize voltage drop.
- Make up the cables with lugs to suit the terminals of your battery and the M8 terminals of the motor and circuit breaker. The circuit breaker can accept a cable lug size for max. wire size 50mm2.
STEP 7 Install the circuit breaker
- Ensure that the circuit breaker is switched to the “OFF” position before making any wiring connections.
- Choose a suitable location for the circuit breaker [A13] in an easily accessible position as close as possible to the battery.
- Connect the two thermal sensor wires from the motor to the terminals marked “TER. SW” on the back of the circuit breaker.
- Use a 0.75mm2 wire to connect the terminal marked “MINUS” on the back of the circuit breaker to the NEGATIVE (–) terminal of the battery.
STEP 8 Connect power and push button cables
- NEGATIVE (–) BLACK connection from motor to battery: Connect the NEGATIVE (–) BLACK terminal of the motor to the NEGATIVE (–) BLACK terminal of the battery using the (-) BLACK power cable prepared in Step 6. Tighten the nut on the motor terminal to a maximum torque of 12Nm (9 ft-lb).
- POSITIVE (+) RED connection from motor to circuit breaker: Connect the POSITIVE (+) RED terminal of the motor to the terminal marked “+ MOTOR” on the circuit breaker using the (+) RED power cable prepared in Step 6. Tighten the nut on the motor terminal to a maximum of 12Nm (9 ft-lb). Ensure that the cable lug is not touching the printed circuit board, and tighten the nut on the circuit breaker terminal to a maximum torque of 5Nm (4 ft-lb).
- POSITIVE (+) RED connection from circuit breaker to battery: With the circuit breaker switched to the “OFF” position, connect the terminal on the circuit breaker marked “+ BATTERY” to the POSITIVE (+) RED terminal of the battery using the (+) RED power cable prepared in Step 6. Ensure that the cable lug is not touching the printed circuit board, then tighten the nut on the circuit breaker terminal to a maximum torque of 5Nm (4 ft-lb).
- Connect the push button control cable [A12] to the short cable leads at the push button and the motor.
STEP 9 Check installation
