Quick QNC CHC Marine Digital Anchor Chain Counter

Description

A 3.5-inch color TFT display gives theQuick QNC CHCa flush-mount helm interface for monitoring anchor chain and rode. The instrument accepts 9V to 32V DC power, allowing use on 12V and 24V vessel systems. Its 115 mm square fascia weighs 1 lb and uses an ultra-thin polycarbonate front plate.

Magnetic proximity sensor pulses from the gypsy hub provide the listed measurement input. Software calibration supports 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, and 14 mm gypsies. Automatic lowering, preset ascent stop, and an anchor-up warning alarm form the listed control and alert functions.

Key Features of the QNC CHC Chain Counter

• A 3.5-inch color TFT screen displays the listed chain and rode monitoring information.
• Universal 9V to 32V input supports the listed 12V and 24V vessel-system range.
• Magnetic proximity pulses from the gypsy hub provide the listed sensor input method.
• Software calibration covers 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, and 14 mm gypsies.
• Automatic lowering forms part of the listed anchor deployment function.
• A preset ascent stop supports the listed chain-retrieval control feature.
• The anchor-up warning alarm provides the listed alert function at the helm.
• Active idle draw measures 70 mA, rising to 250 mA at peak operation.
• An auto-reset fuse forms part of the listed electrical protection.
• The polycarbonate front fascia carries the listed IP67 waterproof rating.

Equipment Compatibility

The QNC CHC chain counter is described for helm monitoring of vertical and horizontal windlasses. Its calibration software covers gypsies from 6 mm through 14 mm, while the magnetic proximity sensor reads pulses from the gypsy hub core. Installers should verify sensor placement and windlass compatibility before selecting the instrument.

The 9V to 32V supply range covers the listed 12V and 24V vessel systems. The available product details do not list included sensor hardware, cabling, mounting hardware, or compatibility with a specific windlass model.

Materials, Technology and Use

An ultra-thin polycarbonate plate forms the display fascia. the listed IP67 waterproof rating applies to that front plate. The color graphic matrix display, sensor-pulse input, automatic lowering, ascent stop, and anchor-up alarm form the listed monitoring and control functions.

Salt residue and debris can still collect around the fascia, display edge, sensor connections, and helm mounting surface. Regular cleaning and inspection remain necessary. Follow manufacturer documentation for calibration, sensor placement, and electrical connection procedures.

Compatibility and Installation

The Quick chain counter accepts a 9V to 32V DC supply and draws 70 mA at active idle with a 250 mA peak operational load. The 115 mm by 115 mm fascia requires a flush-mount helm location. Installers should confirm panel cutout, sensor routing, windlass interface, and display visibility before installation.

For systems using onboard DC power, planning can include helm charging integration within the wider electrical layout. The provided product data does not confirm sensor hardware, cables, mounting hardware, or a compatible windlass as included.

Care and Operating Notes

Rinse the front fascia and surrounding helm surface with fresh water after saltwater exposure. Remove salt, sand, and debris from the display edge, mounting area, and sensor connections before use. Inspect the display, fascia, sensor wiring, fuse function, and electrical connections before operating the windlass. Follow the manufacturer manual for calibration, diagnostics, service, and approved replacement parts.

Warranty and Support

The QNC CHC carries a 2-year limited manufacturer warranty. The provided warranty term does not define coverage for labor, sensor hardware, cabling, connected windlass equipment, shipping, or installation components. These terms reflect manufacturer-stated coverage, and buyers should verify active warranty policies directly with the seller or manufacturer prior to purchase.

Before Ordering

Confirm that your windlass uses a gypsy between 6 mm and 14 mm and can provide the required magnetic proximity sensor input. You should verify the 9V to 32V DC supply, flush-mount helm space, sensor-routing path, and interface with the installed windlass before ordering. Review the automatic lowering, preset ascent stop, and anchor-up warning functions against the planned helm-control arrangement.
