Kevin Nash Tackle RS1 Bite Alarm Receiver

RS-1 Remote Receiver

The RS-1 is the first alarm system with two - way radio providing volumne, tone and sensitivity functions that are operated remotely via the receiver enabling you to change your volumne , tone and sensitivity settings from the comfort of your bivvy. With traditional alarms you have to operate the function by adjusting knobs on the head. Adjustment knobs are potentially one of the biggest causes of water penetration and failure of the head.

At home you wouldn't leave your sofa to manually adjust your television, so why should you with your bite alarms ? Imagine this scenario - you are struggling in your sleeping bag on a cold , rainy night when the wind picks up, causing your bite alarms to start falsely bleeping annoyingly. With current bite alarms you are forced to get up and venture into the rain and freezing wind to adjust the sensitivity; you go back to bed and the head is still bleeping, with another gust of wind as the adjustment is not correct. With the RS-1 you can operate and adjust the sensitivity (plus indeed the volume and tone) until perfect, whilst staying warm and dry in your sleeping bag.

Functions:

Volume
Five volume ranges, set by operating the remote. Once you have selected your preferred volume setting, this is memorised in the head even after it has been switched off.

Tone
Five tone ranges, set by operating the remote. Once you have selected your preferred tone setting, this is memorised in the head even after it has been switched off.

Sensitivity Control:

Revolutionary bite sensitivity detection, sensing speed rather than the distance of line movement. This technology negates false indication and achieves optimum sensitivity even in windy conditions (whereas other alarms relying on line movement sensing become ineffective when detecting single bleep pick-ups). To explain simply the windier the conditions the more you have to desensitise traditional alarms (using sensitivity controls) to avoid false bleeps. With some brands you may have to allow 6 or more of line to travel before your indicator signals. With the RS-1, whatever the conditions the amount of line movement remains at approximately ¼ inch, enabling you to identify single bleep pick-ups from rig wary carp.

Theft Alarm System
To protect your valuable rods and reels (as well as your RS-1 system), should a thief turn off the head in an attempt to stealthily steal your tackle, your in-bivvy remote will emit a 10 second theft alarm warning. Should the thief mute your RS-1 head, then the in-bivvy remote will emit a short 3 second theft alarm warning.

Vibration
The RS-1 remote features vibration signalling for anglers hard of hearing or wishing to fish stealthily
