Wireless remote anchor windlass control
The sensor is a pair of motion detectors, call them U & D. When the
magnet on the chain wheel passes U before it passes D the direction is up and when it passes D first it is down. Steve wrote: I looked into the CruzPro a couple years ago.. In looking at the wiring diagram, I don't see how it can keep track of the chain 'up/down' if the gypsy is released for free fall.. It appears that the counter can only detect the direction of the gypsy from the power up/down buttons. With all the 'bells and whistles' they have this thing doing, perhaps the have something in the gypsy pickup/sensor that can deduce the direction of rotation.
