Mag 20 DT New Features

Magnum Power

The Mag 20 DT/HS and Mag 20 DT/TS feature improved tolling weight capacity, retrieval rate, and quality. The Mag 20 DTs can now accommodate trolling weights up to 20lbs. The newly improved Mag 20 DTs also feature a high retrieval rate up to 250 feet per minute.

Mag 20 DT/TS Features

The Mag 20 DT/TS (Tournament Series) has an improved appearance featuring a sleek metallic- white finish. An extremely durable stainless steel spool allows for you to outfit your downrigger with monofilament or “super line”, eliminating the fish- spooking vibration and harmonics of conventional downrigger cables. With a heavy-duty, brushed stainless steel telescopic boom, adjustable rod holder, and an Off-Shore Release included, the Mag 20 DT/TS is designed specifically for tournament level fishing.

Battery Alarm

The Mag 20 DT will now beep every two seconds if the battery voltage drops below 9 volts.

Remote Operation with CannonLink

Your Mag 20 DT has the ability to be operated remotely. Utilizing Humminbird Fishing systems featuring CannonLink, you can control up to 6 Mag 20 DT/HSs and/or Mag 20 DT/TSs simultaneously. CannonLink gives you the ability to cycle downriggers up and down, bottom track, change depth, monitor speed and temp* (with Cannon Speed & Temp Sensor), and adjust Positive Ion Control from your Humminbird Fishing System (Matrix™, 700, and 900 Series).

CannonLink Details

The Mag 20DTs connect to the Humminbird unit with the #019095 Mag 20 Master Cable. This cable has an eight-pin plug on one end and a five- pin plug on the other. The eight-pin plugs into the fish finder communication port. Additional Mag 20 DTs are connected to each other in a chain with the #019634 Mag 20 Remote Cable. The last downrigger in the chain must be terminated with the #609198 Endcap plug that comes with the Mag 20 Master Cable. This plug completes the loop allowing the fish finder to get depth and mode information from the Mag 20 DTs. Additional information can be found with the Humminbird fish finder.

The details of CannonLink are described in full in your Humminbird owner’s manual. Any one or all Mag 20 DTs can perform these features with CannonLink only from Cannon:

•Set PIC voltage in 1/10ths of volts

•Go to depth (feet or meters)

•Adjustable descent and retrieve speeds

•Cycle mode; includes upper depth, lower depth and time at depth

•Bottom-contour following mode, includes wave height, distance above the bottom

•All up (brings all the weights to the surface immediately)

•Park height (allows you to set individual heights to park the ball above the water)

•Disconnect alarm sounds if the remote cable is accidentally unplugged

The Mag 20DTs communicate through an optically isolated NMEA 0183 standard interface. Each unit is both a listener and a talker to the next unit in the chain. The endcap plug sends the last talker’s broadcast back to the first listener/talker, which is usually the fish finder. Only two sentence headers are used: the standard NMEA ‘$SDDBT’ (SONAR Data Depth Below Transducer) for bottom following, and ‘$PCMAG’ (Proprietary Cannon MAG) for system control. Several features have been included in the remote interface that would allow the electro- mechanical system to be used for other types of applications.
