Quick Hand Held Chain Counter

The Quick Hand-Held Chain Counter (CHC1103) is a remote control and chain measurement tool designed for seamless anchoring operations. With this device, you can raise or lower your anchor while monitoring exactly how much chain is deployed – all from a compact, hand-held unit. The robust, waterproof housing protects it against spray, splash, and marine conditions, making it ideal for Irish cruising environments.Its graphic LCD display provides clear, multilingual readouts in metres, feet or fathoms, and includes data such as chain speed and voltage. The device also features backlit keys and adjustable contrast for readability in varying lighting. With automatic locking, alarms, free-fall management, and a built-in LED torch, it packs advanced features into a practical, portable tool. The CHC1103 links to your windlass via wiring (or CAN bus, depending on setup), adding remote control convenience with full chain-counter functionality.FeaturesSimple user-friendly interfaceInformation is displayed in 5 different languagesAutomatic lowering functionUp alarm functionLocked keys functionIt can also be used in winch operationsWindlass management with auto free fallAnchor recovery function in case of sensor failureChain speed displayedSupply voltage displayedDepth of chain lowered is shown in meters, feet, or fathomsA graphic LCD display screen that can be easily read at various anglesBacklight display screen with 5 brightness levels5 different display contrast levels can be setAutomatic display contrast compensation according to environmental temperatureUniversal power supply (12/24Vdc)Backlight illuminated function keysEquipped with an LED torchCAN BUS interface for data transferCapable of operating in a wide range of ambient temperaturesWater-proof housingSpecificationsSupply Voltage: 932 V DC (works with 12 V or 24 V systems)Max Current: for Up/Down Contacts 4 AOperating Current: (Idle) ~31 mA @ 12 V / ~18 mA @ 24 VWaterproof Rating: IP67 (when properly plugged in)Temperature Range: 20 C to +70 CWeight: 750 gCable / Cord Length: Up to 4.2 m spiral cableInterface CAN bus for data transferDownloadChain Counter Manual .input-wrapper a { text-decoration: none; / Removes underline / background-color: transparent; / Ensures no background color / } .input-wrapper a:hover { text-decoration: underline; / Adds underline on hover / background-color: transparent !important; / Removes grey highlight / }
