Mag 20 DT New Features
Magnum Power
The Mag 20 DT/HS and Mag 20 DT/TS feature
improved tolling weight capacity, retrieval rate,
and quality. The Mag 20 DTs can now
accommodate trolling weights up to 20lbs. The
newly improved Mag 20 DTs also feature a high
retrieval rate up to 250 feet per minute.
Mag 20 DT/TS Features
The Mag 20 DT/TS (Tournament Series) has an
improved appearance featuring a sleek metallic-
white finish. An extremely durable stainless steel
spool allows for you to outfit your downrigger with
monofilament or “super line”, eliminating the fish-
spooking vibration and harmonics of conventional
downrigger cables. With a heavy-duty, brushed
stainless steel telescopic boom, adjustable rod
holder, and an Off-Shore Release included, the
Mag 20 DT/TS is designed specifically for
tournament level fishing.
Battery Alarm
The Mag 20 DT will now beep every two
seconds if the battery voltage drops below 9 volts.
Remote Operation with CannonLink
Your Mag 20 DT has the ability to be operated
remotely. Utilizing Humminbird Fishing systems
featuring CannonLink, you can control up to 6
Mag 20 DT/HSs and/or Mag 20 DT/TSs
simultaneously. CannonLink gives you the ability
to cycle downriggers up and down, bottom track,
change depth, monitor speed and temp* (with
Cannon Speed & Temp Sensor), and adjust
Positive Ion Control from your Humminbird Fishing
System (Matrix™, 700, and 900 Series).
CannonLink Details
The Mag 20DTs connect to the Humminbird
unit with the #019095 Mag 20 Master Cable. This
cable has an eight-pin plug on one end and a five-
pin plug on the other. The eight-pin plugs into the
fish finder communication port. Additional Mag 20
DTs are connected to each other in a chain with
the #019634 Mag 20 Remote Cable. The last
downrigger in the chain must be terminated with
the #609198 Endcap plug that comes with the
Mag 20 Master Cable. This plug completes the
loop allowing the fish finder to get depth and mode
information from the Mag 20 DTs. Additional
information can be found with the Humminbird fish
finder.
The details of CannonLink are described in full
in your Humminbird owner’s manual. Any one or
all Mag 20 DTs can perform these features with
CannonLink only from Cannon:
•
Set PIC voltage in 1/10ths of volts
•
Go to depth (feet or meters)
•
Adjustable descent and retrieve speeds
•
Cycle mode; includes upper depth, lower
depth and time at depth
•
Bottom-contour following mode, includes wave
height, distance above the bottom
•
All up (brings all the weights to the surface
immediately)
•
Park height (allows you to set individual
heights to park the ball above the water)
•
Disconnect alarm sounds if the remote cable
is accidentally unplugged
The Mag 20DTs communicate through an
optically isolated NMEA 0183 standard interface.
Each unit is both a listener and a talker to the next
unit in the chain. The endcap plug sends the last
talker’s broadcast back to the first listener/talker,
which is usually the fish finder. Only two sentence
headers are used: the standard NMEA
‘$SDDBT’ (SONAR Data Depth Below
Transducer) for bottom following, and
‘$PCMAG’ (Proprietary Cannon MAG) for system
control. Several features have been included in
the remote interface that would allow the electro-
mechanical system to be used for other types of
applications
.
*Note: The CannonLink system outputs data from only one single
Speed & Temp Sensor Fish.
