CONNECTING ThE DOWNRIGGER
The Master downrigger is the Optimum downrigger on the system that is designated to be the central communication
hub for the wireless network. Running multiple lines is easier than ever, because complicated wiring is a thing of the
past. You can network up to four Optimum downriggers wirelessly. Any downrigger that is added to the network is
paired directly to the Master downrigger. The Cannon transducer is plugged into the Master downrigger. The Master
downrigger is also paired with the Mobile Device and the Fish Hawk X4D system. The Master downrigger is used
to control the communication between the equipment on the network. For example if the downrigger received a
software update from the Cannon app, the Master downrigger will communicate the update to any Client downrigger it is paired with. In
networks where only one downrigger exists, it will automatically become the Master downrigger if any of the other equipment is connected
or paired to it. There cannot be two Master downriggers in a network.
With the Cannon app on your mobile device, you’ll have trolling data at your fingertips and total control of your
Optimum downriggers from anywhere on your boat. It even keeps your Optimum software up to date. The Cannon
app will only work with Bluetooth® enabled Cannon downriggers. Be sure that you download the correct app as other
apps will not work with your Cannon Optimum or Optimum TS downrigger. Launching the app when it is not paired
with the Cannon will allow you to try it in Demo Mode. The first time the app is launched, you must agree with the
disclaimer in order to continue. Become familiar with the app screens in order to understand how to operate your downrigger(s) with
the Cannon app. The Mobile Device should be paired with the Master Downrigger.
Every Optimum downrigger integrates wirelessly with Fish Hawk X4D System to give you the critical info you need
to troll successfully. This system provides the true running depth and speed of your weight, the temperature at the
weight, plus surface temperature and speed. Within the wireless Network, the Fish Hawk should only be paired with
the Master downrigger.
The Cannon Transducer is the only wired piece of equipment in the Network. The Cannon transducer should only
be plugged into the Master downrigger. It delivers sonar data that is displayed on the downrigger Color LCD. The
Cannon transducer gives downriggers the ability to use the Bottom Tracking feature and contributes valuable trolling
information to the Network. Plugging the Cannon Transducer into any downrigger in the network other than the
Master downrigger will interrupt the network.
Any downrigger that is paired to the Master downrigger is a Client downrigger. The network can support up to three
Client downriggers. The Client downriggers receive information from the Master including software updates from
the Cannon app and sonar or probe information from any paired equipment. The network will be interrupted if any
additional equipment, besides the Master downrigger are paired to a Client downrigger. Any Client downrigger in the
network can be controlled on the Mobile Device paired to the network through the Cannon app.
