Trouble Shooting
PROBLEM:
In the UP or AUTO-UP mode the downrigger
stops periodically but the display stays on or
the circuit breaker trips repeatedly.
SOLUTION:
•
Low battery. The battery voltage at the power
cord is less than 11.5 volts (measure with a
volt meter while the downrigger is pulling up
the weight).
•
Power cable is too long or too small in
diameter. Use 8 or 10 gauge wire if the
distance between the battery and the
downrigger is greater than 6 feet.
•
Do not overload the downrigger. It is designed
to lift up to 20 lb. weights only.
PROBLEM:
Unit does not turn on, beeper does not sound
when plugging in.
SOLUTION:
Check polarity on power cable.
PROBLEM:
Unit does not count the amount of cable
retrieved correctly.
SOLUTION:
Check the cable type configuration (see Zero
Depth menu). Choose the correct type; 200 or
400 feet.
PROBLEM:
Unit does not count the depth correctly.
SOLUTION:
•
Current was interrupted and circuit board was
reset.
•
Check power cable connections try to prevent
reoccurrence.
•
Retrieve the trolling weight using UP or AUTO-
UP.
•
Unplug the power cable for 30 seconds and
then reconnect.
•
Reset the Zero Depth to your desired position.
PROBLEM:
Bottom-Following option does not work.
SOLUTION:
Make sure that the
master
unit displays
MAS
at turn-on. The transducer must be connected
to the
master
Digi-Troll IV only.
If the problem is with a
slave
Digi-Troll IV,
make sure that it displays
SLA
at turn-on.
Make sure the interface cable runs from the
master
unit's DATA OUT port to the
slave
unit's DATA IN port.
After turning the
master
Digi-Troll IV on, press
and hold the
RUN
key. The bottom depth
should be displayed. If not, check your
transducer installation.
PROBLEM:
Clutch slips
SOLUTION:
The set screw in the reel may have come
loose off the shaft. Follow the instructions
below:
1) Unwind the cable from the reel.
2) Remove the set screw.
3) Align the set screw hole in the reel with the
hole in the reel shaft by inserting a 3/16" or
smaller rod and rotating the reel until you feel
it drop into the shaft hole.
4) Replace the set screw and tighten until you
feel resistance.
5) By gently rocking the reel back and forth while
tightening the set screw, you can feel it
engage in the shaft hole. The half dog point on
the set screw must enter the hole in the shaft;
not just be tightened against the reel shaft.
6) The set screw should be about 1/16" above
the top of the hole when it is properly seated.
The contact between the stainless steel cable
and the set screw is important for proper
operation of the Positive Ion Control system.
