INTRODUCTION
- Thank you for purchasing the Delkim Ev Plus Bite Alarm. Since it was
introduced in 1992, the Delkim has set new standards for bite indication and reliability in all
conditions. The Delkim Ev Plus retains the tried and tested electronics including vibration
sensing with no moving parts and works by the line passing over a guide attached to a tiny
piezo ceramic vibration sensor. The line guide is virtually indestructible, guaranteed for life
against normal wear and is unaffected by modern hi-tech lines including braids.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- Familiarise yourself with the S, V & T controls before
connecting battery. WARNING - Do not connect battery, power up or activate close to the
ear with the volume set at maximum or permanent hearing damage may occur.
VOLUME (V) & TONE (T) CONTROLS
- Rotating the controls clockwise (0-6) increases the
volume level and raises the tone frequency. The volume control can be set at absolute
zero which is particularly useful when using the Rx Plus / Pro Mini Receiver or Mini
Extension Box.
SENSITIVITY CONTROL (S)
- Rotating the control clockwise (0-6) increases the sensitivity
to line movement. For hints and tips on sensitivity adjustment see our website.
INSERTING BATTERY
- Connect a PP3 9 volt battery, a Duracell MN1604 is highly
recommended for optimum performance and will last about one year. Each time a battery is
connected the Delkim Ev Plus will switch on and reset the microprocessor. Always test full
functionality after connecting a new battery, including Tx Plus Micro Transmitter functions, if
fitted. If in doubt switch off, disconnect battery, wait for 5 seconds and repeat procedure.
POWER ON
- PRESS AND HOLD DOWN BUTTON UNTIL A SINGLE BEEP IS HEARD
THEN RELEASE - The Delkim Ev Plus tests its speaker and LEDs with three pulses/flashes
and then goes straight into service. With a Tx Plus Micro Transmitter connected this feature
can also be used for programming the Rx Plus / Pro Mini Receiver. Set Sensitivity, Volume
& Tone as required.
POWER OFF
- PRESS AND HOLD DOWN BUTTON UNTIL A SINGLE BEEP IS HEARD
THEN RELEASE - The Delkim Ev Plus gives one pulse/flash and then switches off.
NITELITE NIGHT MARKING
- The twin LEDs glow gently enabling the user to see the exact
position of the Delkim Ev Plus against the darkest background, this also confirms that the
unit is switched on. No need for Betalights which are banned in most EC Countries.
ROD POSITIONING
- Make sure that the line makes good contact with the sensor. DO NOT
use extreme rod angles either pointing the tip up or down at an angle of more than 30
degrees from horizontal and in particular DO NOT position the butt ring up against the Delkim
Plus. The resulting angle of the line around the sensor could cause the line to make poor
contact and may reduce indication.
NITELITE OUTPUT
(small socket) - Allows connection of the Delkim NITELITE illuminated
hanger or Tx Plus Micro Transmitter and must be used exactly as recommended.
EXTENSION OUTPUT
(large socket) - Allows connection of Tx Plus Micro Transmitter or
lead connection to Mini Extension Box. For operation see relevant product instructions.
WARNING
- The outputs are strictly for the connection of Delkim manufactured accessories.
They are NOT compatible with any other manufacturer's products and connection of any
non-Delkim made device may cause damage to the circuit which WILL invalidate the
guarantee. Delkim will not accept any responsibility for damage caused to other devices
connected to the outputs.
GENERAL CARE
- Delkims are sophisticated electronic devices, designed to work in all
conditions. They will give years of faultless use, but it does help to treat them with care, so
after use keep them clean and dry. If necessary dry them out slowly using a reasonable
amount of heat but NEVER over an open flame as this may cause damage and possibly
invalidate the guarantee. DO NOT spray them with any substance whatsoever and
particularly NOT WD40. This will not only invalidate the guarantee but make any further
sealing impossible due to the contamination it leaves behind.
SENSOR/LINE GUIDE
- Designed to withstand normal use with any line. DO NOT test with
any hard object or subject to any abnormal pressure. Should there be a permanent loss of
sensitivity the sensor/line guide can be replaced by our SERVICE DEPARTMENT.
BATTERY CARE
- If the Delkim Ev Plus is not going to be used for some time it is advisable
to remove the battery in case of leakage.
