TROUBLESHOOTING
1.
The reel hauls in the line when there is no fish on the hooks, why?
A:
There can be three reasons for this behavior i.e. the value of the FISH
SENSITIVITY parameter is too low compared to the weight of the sinker or
the DRIFT parameter is not at zero making the reel haul every “DRIFT
parameter” minute. If this is the case the icon for DRIFT appears underneath
the depth counter on screen one.
If this happens only when the sinker hits the bottom then it is likely that there
is mud on the bottom which the sinker gets buried in. Increasing the value of
the “MUD ON BOTTOM” parameter to a value of 1 will usually solve this
problem.
2.
The reel does not turn the drum and the voltage measurement shows
54V?
A:
If you turn off the reel and turn it on again within 5-10 seconds, sometimes
the controller fails to start. Just turn off the reel and wait for 10 seconds
before you turn it on again.
3.
The reel finds bottom before the sinker actually hits the bottom?
A:
The most simple reason for such behavior is that a false bottom is active. If
this is the case then a line is written on the screen beneath the depth counter.
This happens if you press the PLUS pad when the reel is paying out and the
cursor is not flashing. You can remove this setting by pressing the MINUS
pad when the reel is paying out and the cursor is not flashing.
If you don’t have a false bottom set check the SLACK SENSOR signal on
screen three. If the slack sensor is configured correctly the value is zero
when the slack sensor is up against the motor house and 48 when it is down
against the arm.
The third possible reason is that the value of the BOTTOM SENSE TIME
parameter (28) is too low, the value of the MAX PAY OUT SPEED
parameter (34) too high or a combination of both. First try increasing the
BOTTOM SENSE TIME, even a value of 10 to 20 is in order. If that
doesn’t help try decreasing the MAX PAY OUT SPEED.
