Resumen del manual
Spin meter gear to change setting. NOTE: Actual fishing depth may vary from depth shown on meter due to trolling speed and weight of cannon ball. (See "Blowback" on page 12) The Short Stop System The Short Stop system is composed of three critical components: the electronic unit, the reel set screw, and the trolling weight insulator. While the downrigger cable is in the water, there is a minute electrical current that flows between the cable and the grounded metal boat components in the water. When the cable clears the water, this current flow will stop. The Short Stop system senses this interruption and turns off the motor. The trolling weight insulator is used to break the cable contact to the water while the weight is still in the water. The reel set screw allows the circuit path to be made through the structure of the downrigger. NOTE: It may be necessary to use two trolling weight insulators. Stopping the weight at water level eliminates the cable strain caused by bouncing weights or weights hitting the boom end. Stopping at water level will also keep the weight from hitting the boat hull. NOTICE: Short stop and Positive Ion Control features do not function when spooled with monofilament or super lines. Maintaining Your Downrigger Periodically, lightly grease the thrust bearing and bearing race found behind the clutch knob. Replace the cable at least every two years. There are no other user serviceable parts on the Mag 10HS \ Mag 10TS \ Mag 5HS. Your warranty will be void if the seal on your unit is broken. For repairs or servicing your downrigger refer to the Warranty Information section of this booklet. THE SHORT STOP 11 1/16" Cable Terminator Weight Insulator POSITIVE ION CONTROL The Positive Ion Control System Your boat has an electrical charge around the hull in water. If a boat is properly bonded and properly zinced, that charge should be slightly positive when measured from ground to the downrigger cable. Positive Ion Control (PIC) is the use of electricity to control that charge and its fluctuation so that it is always maintained at a specified set voltage. The practice of setting up and maintaining a slight positive charge on fishing gear has been used by commercial fishermen for many years. This practice has enabled some fisherman to increase yield when used along with other good fishing and boating practices. Cannon’s electric downriggers offer fishermen a big advantage in being able to stabilize and control the positive charge around their boat. Because of the Lexan® construction of the frame, Cannon downriggers are insulated from your boat’s hull charge. When the stainless steel downrigger cable is lowered into the water, the natural ionization between the cable and the boat creates a positive charge of 0.7 to 0.9 volts in saltwater and 0.3 to 0.6 volts in fresh water. This natural voltage is dependent upon salinity and mineral content of the water. Your actual voltage may vary. How the Positive Ion Control System Works The PIC system uses an internal circuit that passes the voltage through the drive train of the Mag 10HS \ Mag 10TS \ Mag 5HS to the reel set screw. The set screw contacts the cable. Care must be taken to ensure contact between the cable and the set screw when replacing the cable. The positive Ion Control system applies a constant 0.6 volts on the trolling cable at all times. Measuring the Natural Electrolysis and PIC Voltage on Your Boat A voltmeter with a scale of zero to one volt will measure the natural electrolysis. Place the ground lead of the meter on the motor or the battery ground. Place the positive lead on the stainless steel downrigger cable while it is in the water. The downrigger must be unplugged. The voltage you measure on the volt meter is your boat’s natural electrolysis voltage. Use the same set up to measure the PIC voltage; just plug in the Mag 10HS \ Mag 10TS \ Mag 5HS. Using Positive Ion Control Positive Ion Control is very effective when trolling. The zone of attraction created at the downrigger wire will attract the fish. It is best to use a short drop back between the downrigger release and the lure. Drop backs of 10 to 20 ft. are typical. A drop back of 50 to 100 ft will entirely negate the effects of the PIC circuit. The PIC can be one of your best fishing advantages, depending on fish type and location. For example, Puget Sound Steelhead may not be effected the same as Great Lakes Steelhead. To fully benefit from PIC technology, it is important that your boat is properly grounded.

Blowback Simply stated, blowback is what happens to the downrigger weight when you pull it through the water behind your boat. As your speed increases, so does the horizontal distance between the weight and your downrigger. The faster you go, the farther the weight is behind you. The farther the weight is behind you, the shallower the weight is. The following charts provi...
