SLACK SENSOR DOWN
This parameter is used to tell the reel, the value of the slack sensor signal,
when the line is taut (the slack sensor arm is pulled down by the line). The
correct method to set this parameter is as follows:
Hold the slack sensor arm down against the arm that carries the pulley. Read
the value of the slack sensor signal from the screen. Set the value of the
parameter at the same figure.
It is very important to keep these two slack sensor parameters correct since
they affect the performance when paying out and finding bottom very much.
NOTE: The correct operation of the slack sensor can always be checked
on screen three (see SLACK SENSOR OPERATION on page 30). This
should always be done when the slack sensor parameters have been
adjusted.
MAX PAY OUT SPEED
This parameter controls the maximum speed when paying out. Each step
equals 10 RPM and the default value is 38, which equals 380 RPM. The
value can be varied between 0 and 60.
The best value of this parameter depends on circumstances and type of line
on the reel. If the sea is choppy it may be necessary to decrease this
parameter, especially when using standard mono-filament line with much line
on the drum. However if the sea is calm it may be possible to increase the
value of this parameter and hence gain more speed and more efficiency.
BOTTOM SENSING
The reel senses when the sinker hits the bottom by watching the slack sensor
signal as seen on screen three. If the parameters for the slack sensor arm are
correct then this signal is in the range of 0 to 48.
When the sinker hits the bottom there will be slack on the line. If the signal
drops below a certain value for a certain amount of time (see BOTTOM
SENSE TIME on page 28) the reel will interpret it as bottom. This certain
value, below which the slack sensor signal must drop, is determined by this
parameter. The default value is 14 but it can be varied between 1 and 48.
In some cases when there is not much line left on the drum it might be
necessary to decrease the value of this parameter. This could happen when
fishing at much depth or when there is not enough line on the drum at all.
In these cases the slack sensor arm is not pulled down far enough when the
line is taut and the slack sensor signal will be close to 14 or even below. If
the slack sensor signal drops below 20 the pay out speed will drop
considerably and the risk of detecting bottom falsely, due to the rocking of
the boat, will increase a lot.
