CONTROLLING THE REEL
The Basics
The reel is controlled by means of the touch pads on the front panel. These
pads are used to move between the five screens, select icon on the active
screen and change the value of the corresponding parameter. One of the
pads changes the status of the reel. Each pad has a special function as
described below.
The MAIN pad has two functions. Each time it is pressed it switches the reel
between three states i.e. hauling, stop and pay-out. If the pad is constantly
pressed for more than 5 seconds the reel will enter Free state and releases
control of the drum which can then be turned freely.
Note! If the sinker is in the water while in Free state, it will pull out the
line until the sinker hits the bottom.
The MODE pad has only two functions, it moves the cursor between icons
and it is used to access a window where the depth of false bottom can be
altered and the depth where the reel slows down when paying out the line.
This will be explained later (see section “Slow down when paying out” on
page 14).
When this pad is pressed the first time the cursor will start flashing on the
first icon on the screen one. If it is pressed while the cursor is flashing then
the cursor will move to the next icon on the screen. If it is pressed
constantly for more than two seconds the cursor will move to the first icon
on the screen and if screen one is the active one, the cursor will disappear
(stop flashing).
The MINUS pad has three different functions: decrease values of
parameters, deactivate/remove settings and store own jig.
Its main function is to decrease values of parameters, i.e. if the cursor is
flashing on an icon for a parameter (icon with a number below it) one can
decrease the value by pressing this pad.
The second function is to deactivate or remove a setting e.g. a false bottom if
it has been set or to clear the depth counter (see section “Set zero point
(clear depth counter)” on page 15 for details).
The PLUS pad has two functions, increase and select/set. The main function
is to increase values of parameters. The second function is to select or
activate a setting. For instance if the cursor is flashing on the icon for the
fishing system the user wants to use he can select (activate) it by pressing this
pad. Another example is if the user wants to set a false bottom it can be done
by pressing this pad at the desired depth when the reel is in the Pay-out state
and the cursor is not flashing.
