CATCH REGISTRATION
Catch registration can be done in 5 different ways.
•
High load.
Perhaps the most common way to register catch in Ex is how heavy it is to pull the line.
This is done by measuring motor current (shown as
Weight
in Ex) while it runs, and therefore
available only when motor is working. The
Weight
to be exceed for starting
Catch registration
is
called
CATCH
(See Machine - 3, Function 1). How long time the
Weight
must remain above
CATCH
before entering
Catch mode
is determined by
Catch -Time up [E3]
. This makes it possible
to determine whether
Catch mode
should occur early for fast bites on the bait, or if fishes need to
bite on for a long time. The
Status symbol [E615 P]
can provide detailed information in
Main
screen
if the limit is exceeded for fine tuning the
Catch registration
or for troubleshooting.
Status
symbol [E615 P]
is disabled in factory setting.
•
Low load.
If motor current gets below what’s needed for just turning the motor with hooks and
sinker, like when sinker/hooks are lost or held up by another machine or fishes,
Catch mode
can be
triggered. See the
L.MESS [E151]
function for more information. Also here the motor must run and
the
Status symbol [E615 P]
can show detailed information for fine tuning and Troubleshooting.
•
Low wheel speed. Catch - Time down [E3P]
can be used to enter
Catch mode
if line rolls out too
slow. For example by fishes holding the hooks or hitting the bottom. The time is the maximum time
allowed for one wheel laps to pass. NB that too high setting of
BRAKE
or sluggish clutch or wheel
might trigger this when it also slows down the wheel. Default
CATCH
-
Time down [E3P]
is not used.
NB
CATCH
– Time Down [E3P]
can
not
be combined with any
Bottom Fishing program
.
•
High wheel speed.
If large catch pulls out the line too fast,
Speed brake [E51]
is activated and will
slow down the wheel speed, and can also activate
Catch mode.
•
Pulled out line.
Wheel pulses are monitored during fishing and detects at any time if line and wheel
is pulled backwards. If wheel is pulled out more laps than set
Catch - Wheel laps [E3 PPP]
the Ex
is put into
Catch mode
.

(1) Catch mode i Mackerel program works as in other fishing programs but generates no indication in
display, sounder or Catch LED. In Mackerel program Ex makes automatic restart when
Zero point
is
reached.
