Page 5 FOREWORD Congratulation on a great choice of Jigging Machine! Belitronic has produced electronic jigging machines since 1972, something we were first in the world with. Since then, we have sold thousands of machines to about 100 countries. Especially Norway, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Denmark Canada, USA and Australia.
Page 6 INSTALLATION APPROVAL This machine BJ5000 is produced by Belitronic Sweden AB in Lunde Sweden in accordance with the appropriate rules for CE approval and marking within EU and the EEC. The serial number is printed on the outside label and also on the label under the gearbox. The machine is only meant for fishing. It must be mounted in such a way that no danger occurs when in use.
Page 7 INSTALLATION Continuing…ELECTRIC INSTALLATION Communication between machines. Ex can communicate with other Ex’s and share information about where the fish are, or to prevent all machines pulling the line to the surface at the same time. For this, two wires are used in the power cable.
Page 8 FRONT PANEL The front panel of the BJ5000Ex (from now on called Ex) is equipped with a graphic display, 12 push buttons, with backlighting, and four red LEDs in the corners for catch indication. All buttons have more than ONE function. Below are the buttons name and primary function. From now on, push buttons in the manual will refer to what is inside the characters [ ].

Page 10 PUSHBUTTONS Buttons [1]-[6] (DRAG, CATCH och BRAKE) These six buttons under the display have several different functions. Function1. From Main screen, the buttons DRAG, CATCH and BRAKE are reached directly with the buttons below the display. The first press shows the desired value as shown in row 3. Another push or held in will change the value.
Page 11 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.
Page 12 CATCH DEPTH AND CATCH DEPTH MEMORY Catch depth. In all Fishing programs except the mackerel [P]5 and Mackerel With Jig [P]6 programs, the Catch depth might be displayed while Ex is in Catch mode. This is optional and is controlled by Show Catch depth [E3PPP PPP]. If enabled, the Catch depth screens and Main screen is displayed alternately every 3 seconds during Catch mode.
Page 13 COMMUNICATION With communication between machines, the following can be done ... • Monitor all (36) machines Line out, motor, wheel, and fish status from any machine in groups of 6 machines per display image. • Send pushbutton to all machines (36pcs) in a group of 6pcs from any machine. Applies to the [Z]ero, [A]uto, [S]top and [U]p.
Page 14 COMMUNICATION Information in GROUP screens. Information as Line out, Fishing mode, Wheel and Motor status is shown as described below. Group screen GROUP A Address position in GROUP screens Line out. Note, when ”-” is showed the font size is reduced to fit. Excample shows machine with address 3 i group 1.
