Product Information

Full details

The NGT VS Alarm is a versatile bite detection system designed for anglers who require adaptable setups for varying water conditions and fishing styles. Its primary benefit is the modular snag bar system, allowing for multiple configurations to secure your rod, though users should note that the device requires a specific LRV08 battery that is not always included in every retail kit.

FAQs

What type of battery does the NGT VS Alarm require?

It requires a single long-life LRV08 battery.

Can I use the alarm without the snag bars?

Yes, you can remove the snag bars entirely if you prefer a streamlined profile, though you must keep the threads clear of debris.

Is the alarm completely waterproof?

The alarm is designed to be waterproof, meaning it is protected against rain and splashing, but it should not be submerged.

How long does the LED stay on after a bite?

The blue LED indicator stays illuminated for 20 seconds.

Can I connect my own illuminated hangers?

Yes, the alarm features a standard jack plug input compatible with most illuminated bite indicators.

Are the snag bars interchangeable?

Yes, the kit includes two 20mm bars and two 75mm bars, which can be swapped or combined to create four different setups.

Troubleshooting

The alarm is not emitting any sound

Check that the volume dial is set above the minimum position and ensure the LRV08 battery is installed with the correct polarity.

LED is not lighting up during a bite

Ensure the battery has sufficient charge and check that the snag bars are not obstructing the light sensor or LED casing.

External illuminated indicator not working

Verify that the jack plug is fully inserted into the 2.5mm jack socket and that the indicator itself is functioning correctly on another device.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the NGT VS Alarm, unscrew the protective caps on the top of the alarm head and choose the appropriate snag bar length (20mm or 75mm) based on your rod handle and fishing location. Insert the LRV08 battery into the rear compartment, ensuring the seal is tightly closed to maintain waterproof integrity. The alarm is compatible with standard bank sticks and buzzer bars via the universal thread at the bottom. To care for the device, wipe the sensor and housing with a damp cloth after use to remove debris or bait residue. Avoid submerging the unit completely in water despite its waterproof rating, and always remove the battery if storing the unit for long periods.
