Andersen Capstan C2000 E 24V — Manual

Capstan C2000 Line Speed

Installation & Use

• Ensure each hole in the deck is bedded, including the big hole in the centre. Do not put bedding compound IN the thread holes in the deck plate.
• Ensure the sealing ring (O-ring) on top of the gear unit sits in its groove.
• Do not use smaller wire than recommended: it can cause malfunction and, in the worst case, fire. Keep the wires as short as possible.
• The motor has a built-in overload circuit breaker that breaks the circuit before the motor gets too hot; after a short cooling period (depending on temperature under deck, ventilation etc.) it is ready again.
• The electric drive unit is lubricated, sealed and needs no further maintenance. The part on deck needs regular service: dismantle, clean and lubricate once a year, with a further lubrication check during the year under extensive use (charter, blue water sailing).
• Andersen recommends always using ANDERSEN WINCH GREASE (silicone/Teflon®); most other greases, including "marine grease", are not suitable.

• Template and special tools are included; the electric unit can be turned in 8 horizontal steps (45°).
• Capstan and electric unit can be dismantled separately; a hydraulic drive unit can replace the electric one (Modular Power System).

The mounting sequence is shown in Fig. 1–4 of the PDF (page 3).

Minimum Wire Dimensions & Fuse Sizes

Not for continuous service. Wire length = battery to switch box + switch box to motor. Fuse must be of a slow blow type. Connecting diagram: do not use connection 1D1.

The table in the manual also carries 12V columns (70 / 95 mm², 200 / 224 A, 360 Ah), although this capstan is listed as 24V.
