RSS Programming Mode
You may change the light setting or the channel type on the Advanced RSS using a programming mode that is accessed by touching the wet switch con-
tacts on the bottom of the RSS.
NOTE: Please read this and the next section BEFORE you try to program the Advanced RSS using the wet switch contacts. Specific step-by-step procedures to turn on the light and to change
the channel follow this section. You will find it easier to perform these steps once you have grasped the way the programming mode works.
The programming mode allows you to:
• turn on the blinking light
• switch the Advanced RSS Channel from A to B.
The PiranhaMax Control Head temperature readout provides user feedback to help you make the correct selections. The temperature readout will change
on the Control Head to 40°F (4°C), 45°F (7°C), 50°F (9°C) or 55°F (12°C) to signify the following settings.
NOTE: If the temperature readout is set for degrees Celsius then the temperature readout will change on the Control Head to 4,7,9 or 12 to signify the following settings.
Light setting
Temp changes to... Means that...
40°F (4°C) Blinking light is OFF (factory default)
45°F (7°C) Blinking light is ON (but only blinks when the Advanced RSS is in the water)
Channel setting
Temp changes to... Means that...
50°F (9°C) RSS is set to CHANNEL A (factory default)
55°F (12°C) RSS is set to CHANNEL B
IMPORTANT: The PiranhaMax Control Head must be turned on and the CHANNEL SELECT SetUp menu on the Control Head must be set to Channel A (even if the RSS is set to Channel
B) before you can see the feedback on the Control Head temperature readout.
NOTE: The Advanced RSS programming mode will time out after 20 seconds of no user activity, display the Start-Up screen, and return the RSS to normal operation.
NOTE: If the temperature display returns to a normal reading, or the Start-Up screen appears on the display, you are no longer in programming mode.
How the Wet Switch™ Works
In the following sections, you will use the wet switch contacts on the bottom of the Advanced RSS to enter programming mode and change the Light and
Channel settings. Before you try these procedures for the first time, please read through this section to familiarize yourself with the way the Wet Switch™
works.
Turning on the Advanced RSS Blinking Light
To turn on the blinking nighttime fishing light:
1. Wet your finger and tap the wet switch on the Advanced RSS three times (the time between touches needs to be one second or less) to enter the Light
programming mode. The PiranhaMax temperature reading on the Control Head will change to show a temperature reading of 40°F (4°C) (blinking
light OFF).
2. To change the setting to 45°F (7°C) (blinking light ON) touch and release the wet switch contacts once more. Wait two seconds and then confirm that
the temperature reading on the Control Head has changed to 45°F (7°C). Single touches will toggle the setting between 40°F (4°C) and 45°F (7°C).
Your finger should be moist, but not dripping, before you touch the Wet Switch™. You can achieve the cor-
rect dampness by dipping your finger in water, then dabbing your finger twice on a towel.
A "touch" means touching both wet switch contacts at the same time with your moistened finger, using medi-
um pressure. The time between touches needs to be one second or less.
NOTE: Your finger must make contact with both of the wet switch pins simultaneously in order to tap them successfully.
See the procedures that follow for specific instructions on turning the light on or off or changing the channel
from A to B.
