Quick WCS 830 Anchor Windlass Helm Control

(Manufacturer Code: FPWCS8300000B00)

The Quick WCS 830 is a professional helm control panel for remote operation of the anchor windlass. Compared to basic models, the WCS 830 integrates a spring safety cover that prevents accidental activation of the winch, making it ideal for installations on boats where the console is subject to passage or accidental contact.

Fields of Application

Designed to centralize the control of anchoring maneuvers, this component is suitable for:

• Safe Control: Management of electric anchor windlasses via remote switch.

• Console Installation: Ideal for flybridge helms or external helm stations.

• Replacement and Refit: OEM original spare part to restore the factory configuration of boats equipped with Quick systems.

Validated Technical Specifications

• Command Type: Rocker switch with automatic return to neutral position.

• Security: Equipped with a transparent protective cover against accidental activations.

• Functions: UP / DOWN (Rise / Descent).

• Operating Voltage: Universal 12V / 24V DC.

• Protection Rating: IP67 (front panel), specifically designed to resist splashes, rain, and UV rays.

• Material: High mechanical strength technopolymer.

Dimensional Data

(Standard dimensions WCS series for flush mounting)

• External Dimensions: 60 mm x 60 mm.

• Required Depth: approx. 40 mm (to accommodate rear wiring).

• Finishing: Black frame with glossy surface.

Installation and Safety Guidelines

The integration of the WCS 830 into the onboard electrical system must follow strict best practices:

• Connection to the Remote Inverter: The control operates on low current signals (coil excitation). It must not be connected directly to the motor power cables.

• 3-Wire Diagram: Requires a common cable (usually positive +) and two returns for the Up and Down functions. The use of tinned marine cables is recommended from 1.5 mm².

• Ergonomic Positioning: Install in a position that allows the operator to have visibility over anchoring operations, while keeping the control protected from impacts.

• Upstream Protection: It is good practice to provide a general exclusion switch (circuit breaker) to disconnect the control circuit when not in use.

 Why choose the WCS 830 model: The main difference compared to the 820 model is the physical protection of the switch. If the control is installed in an area of the console where it can be accidentally hit by hands or objects, the code FPWCS8300000B00 is the correct technical choice to ensure safety on board and avoid unexpected anchor drops while sailing.
