SM Chain Counter Update
Thomas Peacock
Success with getting the chain counter to work, not working since we bought the boat 9 years ago. The problem was a bad sensor by the windlass. Even though the replacement was not identical it did work. Please note this applies only to the LaRochelle installed counter with he orange sensor and digital display with the Amel logo.

Thomas,
Where did you source the new sensor from? Derick SM2K #400 Brava

It is sensor IB 5072, made by IFM. I bought it in the US from Radwell; however, IFM is a German company; if you are in the EU you might be able to buy directly from IFM or a European distributor.

Hello, if this helps anybody. On Amel54 with autoanchper chain counter I replaced first with original sensor, which was dead after 1year. Then I used a Meanwell reedswitch embeded in hot glue and shrinktube as replacement, works fine now.
