Thank you for purchasing iTroll G3. Building on the success of the iTroll G1 & G2, we
once again reinvented the throle controller. A partial list of the innovations in this unit:
• FCC approved, eight buon, IP68 rated, wireless remote with 16 billion key codes
• Dual resolution, auto ranging “Click Dial”
• Fully illuminated eight buon keypad
• HUNT Mode improvements:
10 Hunt programs / On the y programming / HUNT Gain
• All new user interface
Safety Precautions when using iTroll
• Always aend iTroll and steering to manage boat’s speed & heading.
• READ the owner’s manual so you are familiar with iTroll’s operation.
• Manage iTroll’s cable so it does not present a tripping hazard.
• Make sure occupants of vessel are seated at all times.
• iTroll is only to be used at LOW speeds that are typically used when trolling.
• iTroll is to be used by Adults only!
• When using HUNT Mode, use throle, time and step seings that will NOT cause
Occupants to lose balance or fall overboard.
• Do NOT use iTroll when under the inuence of alcohol, prescription drugs or controlled
substances.
• Boating safety ultimately falls into the hands of the boat’s operator. Use common sense
at all times! Take a boating safety course and obey all published safety procedures and
suggestions. Always use an ignition switch safety lanyard!

iTroll G3 is the rst throle controller with
a lighted keypad! This totally transforms
your night or low light shing experience!
In typical iTroll fashion, lighting the keypad
wasn’t enough. . . .
Modern boats with multiple graphs & other
accessories are power hungry! We monitor
the ambient lighting conditions and how
it is changing so the keypad’s lights are on
only when necessary to save precious baery
capacity.
Click Dial Safety Clutch:
If the dial is turned at a rapid rate, iTroll G3 limits the amount of throle change that
occurs. Actions that can cause gross dial movement are: Someone falling when holding
the dial, or the dial is spun by a hand or arm when someone reaches over the dial to
grab something. At iTroll, safety ALWAYS comes rst through brilliant engineering!

Display Notice
iTroll has prompts on it’s display to aid you in operating it.
A DOWN ARROW (â) in front of a button name means to press that button.

Features of iTroll G3’s RF Remote
Our remote is FCC approved. RF devices are regulated so iTroll is legal to both sell and
use. FCC certication is important because it certies the device does not produce harmful
interference that may cause issues with other systems in your boat.
Our remote control ecosystem has 16 BILLION unique codes. There will NEVER be two
transmiers with the same code. This insures with 100% certainty that another iTroll
transmier that is close to you will NOT accidently operate your unit.
These are other features that cannot be found in other products:
• Multi - touch capability:
Our remote has eight buons. It can control more than 8 functions
because it can process when more than one buon is pressed.
• Pairing conrmation - Allows you to check if a remote is paired to your iTroll:
To check if a remote is paired to your iTroll:
1. Start with iTroll OFF.
2. Press ANY buon on the transmier. If it is paired, iTroll will wake up and conrm
the paired status on the screen.
• Baery Level Check:
If transmier is PAIRED, the second line of the conrmation screen from above will tell
you if the baery is good or needs replacing.
• Transmier Pairing, Erasing and Sharing - iTroll G3 is a community!
iTroll G3 has routines in the options menu (Section 14) to both pair and erase remotes.
This is done “in the eld” and takes lile time. This creates a unique opportunity if
you have friends with iTroll’s that sh on your boat. You can easily pair their remotes so
they can control your iTroll during the a trip. After the trip is over, you can erase all
paired remotes and re - learn only those that belong to you.

same will occur if you go above 99% throle. For safety purposes, when the throle is
in FINE resolution and is not changed for 20 seconds, iTroll will switch to COARSE
resolution to provide rapid throle movement in case you need to avoid other boats or
obstacles.

The ability to change speeds on demand before HUNT Mode’s timer would do so
automatically is a powerful tool. If you see sh on your graph, you can estimate when
the baits are right on top of them and you can force iTroll to change speeds by going
to the next step in the HUNT program.

Section 4: HUNT Gain
See Section 9 for a complete explanation of HUNT Gain
HUNT Gain is a new feature of the iTroll G3. HUNT Gain allows you to “SLIDE” your
throle seing up or down (while on the y) to account for changes in wind, swell,
current, or other factors by up to 7% (in 1% increments). HUNT Gain is so innovative
that in most cases it virtually eliminates the need for reprogramming!
4.1: HUNT Gain Operation - Note: A HUNT program must be running (timer is active)
Control Head Wireless
If adjusting HUNT Gain on the control head, you can exit Gain in one of two ways:
1. Exit by pressing the dial
2. Do nothing. iTroll will resume running the loaded HUNT program 20 seconds after you
stop moving the dial. This allows you to see the eect of the Gain that you dialed in.
4.2: HUNT Gain Displays
Section 5: iTroll’s Special Functions
5.1: “SCS” - Secondary Cruising Speed: Works in both MANUAL and HUNT Modes.
Allows you to set / maintain a higher throle seing than where the dial is set . . . WITH-
OUT touching the dial! This allows you to raise your baits when crossing low spots or to
use a higher throle seing to get your boat back on course after being hit by wind gusts
or wakes. Without “SCS” you would lose and have to reset your troll speed because dial
movement would be required to increase throle.

5.2: Drag mode is a STANDARD feature of iTroll, but it can be turned on and o to suit
your preferences. All iTroll units ship with drag mode OFF. To turn drag mode on or
o, see the “OPTIONS MENU” in section 14.
DRAG Mode OFF:
DRAG Mode (when ON), changes the Trolling OR Idle
standard function of the Idle / Run buon
from two stage operation to three stage
operation.
Trolling Idle
DRAG MODE ON:
To adjust DRAGSpeed:
Control Head

Example: 15% Example: 5% 0% Wireless
Drag is a throle seing lower than troll and higher than idle. This allows you to ght sh
while using throle to maintain the boat’s heading or to raise the baits to keep them from
snagging boom. When in Drag Mode, the DragSpeed is adjustable per diagram above.
When iTroll is in DRAG Mode, Kepad LED ashes TWICE per second.
5.2.1: Finding Stored DragSpeed: Note: DRAG Mode must be On.
In MANUAL mode, when the Max buon is pressed, DragSpeed is shown on display.
5.2.2: DRAG Mode Safety:
If trolling speed is LESS than the DragSpeed stored in memory, DRAG Mode will not
function when the Idle / Run buon is pressed because iTroll will not accelerate the boat
when you expect the throle to be reduced. To make DRAG Mode functional again, raise
troll speed higher than DragSpeed (see 5.2.1 to nd DragSpeed), press Idle / Run buon to
enter DRAG Mode and lower it with knob or transmier.
5.3: Optional Remote Idle / Run switch(es):
You can purchase (at additional cost), sealed touch pads that can be mounted anywhere
in your boat. Additionally, you can run multiple pads in dierent locations! These touch
pads work EXACTLY like the Idle / Run switch on iTroll’s main key pad. You can mount
these pads anywhere you like, at the transom, bow or on the gunnel. See electronics instal-
lation manual for wiring instructions.
5.4: DUAL MOTOR Capability:
Optional software upgrade to allow a single iTroll to control two motors. See Section 15.
Section 6: Left and Right Steering Buttons
iTroll can control other manufacturer’s steering units (NOT included with iTroll) that
link to your kicker motor. Contact the manufacturer of your particular steering unit for
instructions on how to interface it with iTroll. Please see iTroll’s installation instructions
for technical information on steering outputs. A steering unit that we can recommend is
the Tailn by Powrtan. iTroll’s steering buons only operate when iTroll is ON.

Compatible with RAM Mount “B” size components (one inch ball).
You can detach the control head of iTroll from the ball mount WITHOUT removing the
ball from the RAM arm, which preserves the angles at which your mount is set.
DO NOT “boom out” any fastener in iTroll’s back plate - the holes are only .2 inches
deep! Fasteners that go deeper can puncture the base plate. Water can then enter the
iTroll. Damage from punctures is NOT covered under warranty!
Section 8: Full Description of HUNT Mode
Programmable Throttle Sequences to maximize your catch!
HUNT Mode is the most revolutionary feature ever put into a throle controller and
it’s commonly considered to be “The Deadliest Tool in Fishing”! Prior to iTroll, throle
controllers were only reactionary and had a passive role in the catching experience. An
iTroll in HUNT Mode is literally stalking the sh by varying the boat’s speed to make the
baits look more natural, and is taking an ACTIVE role in your angling success. Varying
speed makes your presentations more realistic and is THE answer to any troller’s worst
nightmare - the “Speed Rut”. Many anglers steer in “S” paerns to vary speed, but HUNT
Mode achieves greater speed variations while doing it automatically and with robotic
precision!
There are multiple reasons why the most successful tournament shermen and top guides
insist on iTroll (reliability, innovation, quality, etc.), but the BIGGEST reason is HUNT
Mode! HUNT Mode makes every angler beer because IT CATCHES FISH!
8.1: HUNT Mode Program Memory:
iTroll G3 stores TEN individual HUNT programs in internal memory. You have HUNT
programs for dierent throle behaviors and conditions (example: shing up wind or
down wind).
The memory positions are allocated as follows:
Four stepping programs
Two each for cut, bump, and six shooter programs
(4 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10 total).
Multiple HUNT programs enhances eciency and convenience. For example, you can
have two dierent bump programs - one with a moderate bump, and the other a more
aggressive bump.
HUNT Mode contains four types of throle sequences:
8.2: STEPPING (Searching) Programs:
These programs have low and high throle seings that the iTroll steps up and down in
the range between them. You set a step size for iTroll to determine how many steps there
are between the throle seings. Stepping programs excel in nding what speed / bait
combination works best.
Example: You set a program to vary the boat’s throle from
10% to 20% in 3% steps, with each step being held for 20 seconds.
For this program, the throle will hit 8 dierent speeds:
10% - 13% - 16% - 19% - 20% - 17% - 14% - 11% - 10% . . .repeat.

J 0:00 0:05

Searching programs are the most ecient way to nd what baits and speeds are the
most productive to sh. In this example, if there are 6 dierent baits being trolled, 48
bait / speed presentations (6 baits X 8 speeds) are made to the sh every 2 minutes!
8.3: CUT Throle Programs (Simulates a wounded bait):
Two speed programs where your trolling speed is “CUT” to a slower speed. You set the
time parameters as to when the throle is cut and how long the cut lasts. Time at troll is
programmable from 5 seconds to 4 minutes and cut time is set in seconds (1-60).
Example: You set a program to troll at 15% throle for 25 seconds,
then cut the throle to idle (0%) for 10 seconds
before returning to 15% and repeating the paern:
For this program, the throle will behave as follows:
15% - 25 seconds - 0% - ten seconds - repeat.
Bait behavior in cut programs can be customized by how
large / small the cut is and how long the throle stays cut.
8.4: BUMP Throle Programs (Simulates a eeing bait):
Two speed programs where your trolling speed is “BUMPED” to a higher speed. You set
the time parameters as to when the throle is bumped and how long the bump lasts. Time
at troll is from 5 seconds to 4 minutes and bump time is set in seconds (1-60).
Example: You set a program to troll at 15% throle for 25 seconds,
then bump the throle to 20% for 10 seconds
before returning to 15% and repeating the paern:
For this program, the throle will behave as follows:
15% - 25 seconds - 20% - ten seconds - repeat.
Bait behavior in bump programs can be customized
by how large / small the bump is and how long the throle stays bumped.
8.5: SIX SHOOTER Throle Programs:
Lets you set between 2 and 6 throle steps with independent time seings. This allows
you unprecedented freedom to make double cut or bump programs, a cut with a twitch,
or anything your imagination can think of!
8.5.1: Six Shooter programs scroll between two start screens:
10 Seconds
Throle / time pairings 1 - 3 Throle / time pairings 4 - 6
To force screen change
In the six shooter start screens, the throle and time pairings are vertically stacked. The
four throle / time pairings shown above represent a cut program with a throle twitch in
the cut.
Starting with the left screen, HUNT will run Pair 1 (troll at 19.0% for 25 seconds), then
Pair 2 (cut to idle (0.0%) for 6 seconds), then Pair 3 (10.0% twitch for 2 seconds, then Pair
5(cut to idle for 5 seconds), and then return to Pair 1.

8.5.2: Note that pairs 4 and 6 have time parameters of ZERO and therefore, the throle
speeds in those pairs show that they are being skipped. The key point being made
here is that you control which pairs are VALID by making their time seing GREATER
THAN ZERO. Seing a pair’s time seing to zero (0) makes that pair INVALID. Note
that iTroll will not allow you to set the time of pairs 1 and 2 to zero as you need at least
two throle and time pairs to make a HUNT program.
8.5.3: Six Shooter Timer Screen:
The top line shows which throle / time pair is next (in this case - Pair 2) and the throle
and time seings of that pair.
The boom line shows the HUNT Gain (in this case zero), the current throle seing and
how much time until a throle change.
Tips from iTroll’s designer on mastering the ULTIMATE power of Hunt Mode:
Stepping programs (seen on iTroll display as A, B, C & D):
• Make your Hunt programs stop at dierent speeds on the way up than on the way
down for MAXIMUM speed variety! Subtract your MinSpeed seing from your Max-
Speed seing. If the dierence is an EVEN number, use ODD steps and vice - versa. See
6.2 for an example.
When Hunt nds a speed that the sh prefer (example: 18%), DON’T go to manual
throle and static troll at 18%! Reprogram your Hunt parameters to bracket 18% so when
the sh’s speed preference changes (it always will), you will notice the paern where
strikes occur! A sample program that brackets 18% might be (15-21%, 3%, 20 Sec). This
Hunt program will cover these speeds: 15% - 18% - 21%.
• Cut and Bump programs (seen on iTroll display as e, f, G & H):
You can vary your presentation by varying the degree and duration of your cut or bump
speeds. Put a bait in the water and try a moderate cut or bump (5%) for 10 - 15 seconds vs.
a larger cut or bump (10 - 15%) for 1 - 4 seconds.
• Six Shooter programs (seen on iTroll display as I & J):
For simplicity, the default programs are two speed programs. We suggest that once you
get familiar with programming, slowly add to the number of speeds a program contains
to keep things simple. The six shooter programs provide unbelievable results once you
master them!
Section 9: Full Description of HUNT Gain
HUNT Mode gets taken to the NEXT LEVEL!
HUNT Gain “SLIDES” the throle seings of a HUNT program up or down to adjust
for changes in wind, current or swell. A quote from one of our beta testers Brian S:
10
Next2 0.0% 0:06
G0 19.0% 0:15
Note: This section refers to “BASE” HUNT Parameters - these are
the parameters that are stored in iTroll’s memory banks. When you
increase or decrease Gain, it adds or subtracts throttle from the
base parameters, but does NOT permanently alter them.

“The new Gain feature for Hunt Mode takes a game changing feature of the iTroll and
adds a whole new level of convenience to the performance of the unit, particularly in
varying weather conditions.
Did the wind just pick up and slow your troll too much? Simply use Gain to ”step up”
your favorite program to account for that breeze.
Did the wind die o making your troll too fast? Use Gain again to “step down” your
program so that your troll slows enough to get back into that perfect, varied speed range
that sh can’t resist.
Thanks to Gain, Hunt mode from iTroll is now innitely customizable in whatever
conditions mother nature can throw at you.”
9.1: Accessing Hunt Gain - See Section 4.1:
Note: Gain is available ONLY when a Hunt program is running. The best way to conrm
this is the presence of a timer in the boom right corner of the display.
9.2: Instant Throle Feedback:
When Gain is changed, the throle will change on a one on one basis with the amount of
gain: If you increase gain by plus or minus two, the throle will go up or down 2%. This
allows you to see, in real time, how the change aects your boat control.
9.3: Increasing Gain:
In ALL HUNT programs, gain can increase the base parameters in 1% increments to Max
Gain of 7%. Example: Base throle seings of 10 - 20% with 7% gain = 17 - 27%.
9.4: Decreasing Gain:
The amount of negative Gain that is available may be limited if the LOWEST throle
seing of a HUNT program is 6% OR LESS. Each type of HUNT program (Stepping,
Cut, Bump, and Six Shooter) processes the negative gain limit dierently.
9.4.1: Decreasing Gain - Stepping Programs:
If the MinSpeed value equals zero, Gain cannot be decreased further.
9.4.2: Decreasing Gain - Cut & Bump Programs:
Note: Cut & Bump programs have only TWO throle seings. If the LOWEST throle
value of a program becomes zero, further reductions in gain will result in lowering ONLY
the upper throle seing. The HUNT program is undergoing COMPRESSION which
makes it even MORE powerful! Gain decreases will stop if the upper throle equals 1%.
9.4.3: Decreasing Gain - Cut Compression Example
CutSpeed = 0%, TrollSpeed = 8%. We troll at 8%, and cut to idle
(0%) because it provides the most rapid boat slowing on the
cut. These seings are working well in the calm conditions that
we are experiencing. 11

The wind picks up, is at our backs, and we are trolling too fast.
We use Gain compression to DECREASE our TrollSpeed to
maintain our target GPS speed while still cuing to idle.
Wind is in our face, we increase gain. If compression occurred,
it’s reversed to become expansion. If Gain becomes positive,
BOTH the CutSpeed and TrollSpeed are increased to add addi-
tional power to maintain directional control of the boat.
9.4.4: Decreasing Gain - Bump Compression Example
TrollSpeed = 5%, BumpSpeed = 12%. In this example, we troll
at 5%, and Bump to 12%. These seings are working well in
the calm conditions that we are experiencing.
Wind picks up, is at our backs, and suddenly we are trolling
too fast. We use Gain compression to DECREASE our
TrollSpeed to maintain our target GPS speed. If we use Gain
values of negative 6 or 7, our TrollSpeed will be 0% and our
BumpSpeed will be either 5% or 6%.
Wind is in our face, we increase Gain. If compression occurred,
it’s reversed to become expansion. If Gain becomes postive,
BOTH the Troll and Bump Speeds are increased to add addi-
tional power so we can maintain directional control of the boat.
9.4.5: Decreasing Gain - Six Shooter Programs
Gain has no limits and can be set as low as -7%. Be aware that if you have one or more
throle seings that are 7% or below, excessive negative Gain can make your Six Shooter
program appear to do nothing if you use Gain to reduce all your throle seings to 0%.

Pro Tip - Hunt Gain Oset to enhance slow trolling programs
If you use slow trolling techniques, you may benet from “oseing” your HUNT
programs for more versatility. Stepping programs are featured in this example:
Example 1 - No Oset. Programmed Throle Values
Gain cannot be decreased below minus three (-3) because the MinSpeed value has
become zero. There are 4 points of leftover Gain that are not utilized.
Example 2: Oset your programmed throle values by adding the leftover 4 points
of gain to them so you will be able to access Gain values from -7 to +7:
3-8% 2.0% 0:20
G0 3.0% 0:15
0-5% 2.0% 0:20
-3G 0.0% 0:15
10-15% 2.0% 0:20
G7 10.0% 0:15
3-8% 2.0% 0:20
-4G 3.0% 0:15
0-5% 2.0% 0:20
-7G 0.0% 0:15
14-19% 2.0% 0:20
G7 14.0% 0:15
7-12% 2.0% 0:20
G0 7.0% 0:15
You can create the exact same
throle ranges as above, but with
more power at the top end to troll
in wind or swell!
3% + 4% = 7%
8% + 4% = 12%

10.5: User interface - SIX SHOOTER Throle Programs
DON’T be intimidated by these programs! They are not as complicated as they appear.
They can be programmed to run anywhere from 2 to 6 throle seings. Our beta testers
said they never used more than 4 at one time. So why did we make them have 6? Having
six throles allows you to skip / activate dierent throles to easily customize a program.
See Sec. 8.5, 8.5.1, and 8.5.2 for instructions on skipping throle seings.
10.5.1: SIX SHOOTER programs have 6 Throle and 6 Time parameter screens. For each
throle / time pair, the throle screen is displayed rst and is followed by the time screen:
10.6: User interface - SIX SHOOTER Programming Screens
Diers from other programs in that the click dial is dual resolution:
- Throle can be set to change in 1% or 0.1% increments per dial “click”
- Time can be set to change in 1 or 5 second increments per dial “click”
Section 11: Tips on using Six Shooter HUNT Programs
Let’s take the example program from Section 8.5.1 and change all time seings to positive
numbers. Note: This is an example, choose throle seing that work for your boat and
angling methods. The screens would then look like this:
Six Shooters can run 2 to 6 throle seings. A throle with a time set to zero is skipped.
Let’s change time seings to convert this program into many types of throle behaviors.
11.1: Cut Program - Time for throles 3 to 6 = Zero.

Section 12: Hunt Mode Safety Limits
Note: As stated in the safety precautions on page 2, iTroll is intended to be used to
achieve low speeds when trolling. To insure this, iTroll has safety limits to cap the
amount of throle available when in HUNT Mode. Usually, the factory default limits are
sucient for most anglers. However, it is your responsibility to determine how much
throle is available in HUNT Mode - especially if your iTroll is hooked to a main (larger
HP) motor, or if you go against our recommendation to not let children operate the iTroll.
There are two limits:
12.1: Hunt Low Limit (HLL):
This sets a ceiling on the lowest throle value of a HUNT program.
12.2: Hunt High Limit (HHL):
This sets a ceiling on the maximum throle value in HUNT Mode. This is your ultimate
safety limit!
The default limits from the factory are:
Hunt Low Limit = 50% of the Master Throle Limit (see Options Menu - Section 14)
Hunt High Limit = 65% of the Master Throle Limit (see Options Menu -Section 14)

Section 13: Changing HUNT Mode Low and High Limits
To change Hunt Low and High Limits:
1. iTroll MUST be in HUNT Mode (see Sec. 2.8)
2. You must be in reprogramming mode (see Sec. 10) and be at a reprogramming
screen where you can change a throle seing.
3.
4. Screen to set low limit appears, turn Dial to change throle value on screen, press
Dial to store new Low Limit value.
5. Screen to set high limit appears, turn Dial to change throle value on screen, press
Dial to store new High Limit value.
6. You will be returned to programming mode where the new limits are applied to
ALL HUNT programs in your iTroll.
Section 14: Options Menu
14.1: To access options menu - Start with iTroll OFF
14.2: First level of screens - Turn dial to scroll between menu items
14.3: Selection screen instructions
1 & 2: Turn dial to change a value, then push dial if you wish to store value.
3: Screens will tell you when to press left and right remote buons on the remote you are
pairing to your iTroll.
4: All transmiers will be erased.
Note: Pressing the back buon will return you to 14.2 (above).
Section 15: Optional Dual Motor Control
15.1: Dual Motor Mode is a software upgrade that is in every iTroll. When dual motor
enabled, iTroll can control two motors on the same boat. These motors can be a kicker
and a main or a pair of mains on a boat with twin outboards or inboards. Note: Servo
motor / linkage installation is required on throle of second motor to allow iTroll to
control it. These parts do require an additional purchase.
If an iTroll is Dual Motor enabled, it has separate Hunt Parameters, servo travel, servo
rotation and master throle limits for EACH motor.

15.2: Selecting which motor iTroll will operate (Dual motor enabled units).
When you turn iTroll on, it remembers the last motor it was operating. If you don’t want
to change motors, do nothing and iTroll will go to manual mode as normal. To change the
motor that iTroll operates:
After power on, the second screen that appears will tell you to push the dial to change
motors. If you press the dial, a new screen appears that instructs you to turn the dial to
select a motor, then to STORE the selection by pressing the dial. iTroll then goes to manual
mode controlling the motor that you just selected.
Section 16: Servo IPA (Idle Point Adjustment)
16.1 Idle point adjustment
CAUTION: Never perform this adjustment when the motor is running!
Note: This is usually a ONE TIME adjustment when you initially install your iTroll.
iTroll G3 has the ability to adjust the idle position of the servo. This allows you to take up
the “slack” in the cable or rod that pulls on your motor’s throle. If you have excessive
slack, there will be a dead spot at idle until the servo moves enough to remove the slack.
When adjusted properly, at IDLE the throle should be FULLY closed and have started to
open between 1% and 1.5% throle as indicated on iTroll’s screen.
DON’T be overly aggressive with this adjustment. If you have the throle opening at .5%,
there is a chance that when it is hot, parts in the motor can expand and the throle will not
be fully closed at 0% throle.
16.2 Change idle point - MOTOR OFF!
1. Turn iTroll ON, wait until you can put the unit into IDLE by pressing
2. When unit is at IDLE (see upper left corner of screen):
Section 17: Accessing the Digital Padlock
17.1: iTroll’s digital padlock allows the unlock codes for protected features and the Dual
Motor software upgrade to be entered. There are features that are protected behind the
padlock so they cannot be accidently changed. An example of this is servo rotation. If it
was accidently reversed, idle would suddenly become full throle - a dangerous situation.

17.3: Entering values into padlock
Note: Combination numbers range from 0 to 250. When entering them, “88” is entered
as “88”, NOT as 8 then 8. A combination has four numbers that need to be entered. The
padlock tells you which of the four numbers you need to enter by displaying “Lock 1, 2, 3,
or 4”
17.4: Turn dial so the number on the display matches the rst number in the unlock
combination you are using. Press dial to store.
17.5: Repeat step 17.4 to enter remaining numbers in the unlock combination.
17.6: If successful in unlocking feature, you will see a conrmation screen or you will
be taken to a screen to change a seing in your iTroll. If you see the message “Invalid
Combo”, repeat 17.4 and 17.5.
Section 18: Features accessed through Digital Padlock
18.1: Dual Motor Software Upgrade: Unlocks the ability to run a second motor. Every
iTroll has a unique code. If you would like to purchase the code, call [phone].
18.2: Programmable Servo Travel & Rotation
Combination to access servo rotation and travel menus: 3 - 8 - 33 - 88.
For both seings, turn dial to make selection, press dial to store it.
Note: Previously set (Old) value is shown in upper right corner of screens.
Menu to set servo travel appears rst: Menu to set servo rotation appears next:
S = 90 degrees L = 135 degrees FWD REV
18.3: Neutral Safety Interface Recognition
IMPORTANT: This feature is only for motors with remotely mount T-HANDLE shift
and throle controls that have our optional Neutral Safety Interface installed.
Combination to turn on or o: 5 - 5 - 5 - 5.
After combination is entered, display reads NS = 0 to conrm o, NS = 1 to conrm ON.
18.4: Disable Hunt Limits (Hunt Low Limit and Hunt High Limit)
IMPORTANT: YOU assume all responsibility for disabling these limits. When limits
are disabled, your low limit is 80% and your high limit is 90%.
Combination to turn on or o: 10 - 10 - 90 - 64.
After combination is entered, display reads HLLHHLen = 0 to conrm o, HLLHHLen = 1
to conrm ON.
Servo travel AND rotation are typically set upon initial installation of iTroll and
does NOT need changing unless the iTroll is moved to a dierent motor.
Changing servo travel and / or rotation on an existing installation can jam the servo and
possibly bend linkage parts because you are changing the starting point and throw of
the servo motor.
If you are 100% sure that you want to change an existing installation, remove servo arm
from servo so that there is NO connection to the motor when iTroll re-zeros the servo
when you turn it on after changing rotation and / or travel.
