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 b rake [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.

reached.
