    Power Pole issues

    My 520 has dual 8’ Blades. My neck lanyard will make them both function correctly. However my dash switch will only work one of the poles. I tried to link the second pole to the switch but it doesn’t link. Anyone seen this before?

    Sounds like a bluetooth block...where is the pump for that second pole? ..you may have an issue with bluetooth connectiing from that switch on the dash. Make sure batteries are good in dash switch and make sure your pressing the pair button on the pump unril you hear the "beep".

    You can use the phone app to try and set it up as well.

    Thanks for the replies. I can hear it beep but not the second beep telling me it’s linked. Also the dash switch works the other pole fine. Both pumps are mounted side by side in the bilge and both work perfect with the lanyard. Just the one pole and that dash switch not linking right.

    Is your advanced dash switch set to work both poles ( both lights on switch lit up) under the speed setting round button. The advanced switch can work both together, just the right or just the left. Be sure you have it set to work both poles and not just the 1. feel free to text me 24 hours a day 607 221 3480 for any Power Pole problems.

    very common issue, happens to myself on occasion. you will see when you push the small round button it will light the small left light , the small right light or both you will want both lights lit up. the speed function will work very similar however its the flashing between the 2 lights that lets you know what speed your set at for deployment.

    Yep that was the problem. It was doing exactly what the switch was telling it to do. Changed it to both lights and both poles work perfect. Thanks for the info and help. Always something new to learn.
