Rippton BiteKeeper Pro 3+1 Bite Alarm Set

Description

The Rippton BiteKeeper Pro 3+1 Bite Alarm Set brings smartphone-connected bite indication to carp and pike angling. The set pairs three compact alarm heads with a single receiver, using Bluetooth to link both to iOS and Android devices so you can adjust settings and receive alerts from your phone or smartwatch. Each head and the receiver run on built-in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries charged via a magnetic USB cable, removing the need for disposable 9V cells. A full charge gives up to 10 days of standby, or roughly six overnight sessions. Volume, tone and sensitivity can be set either from the receiver handset or through the app, and the heads are sealed to IP66 against rain, mud and bankside damp. - Brand: Rippton - Set Configuration: 3 x Alarm Heads + 1 x Receiver + Protective EVA Hard Case - Wireless Range: 80m – 100m (environment dependent) - Waterproof Rating: IP66 Fully Sealed - Head Weight: ~36.5g per alarm - Receiver Weight: ~30g - Volume Levels: 7 Levels (up to 120 dB max) - Tone Levels: 7 Diatonic Tones - Sensitivity Levels: 7 Adjustable Levels (high-response sensor chip) - LED Colors: Multi-Color (Blue, Red, Green, Yellow, Purple) - Alarm Battery: Built-in 250mAh Rechargeable Li-ion - Receiver Battery: Built-in 400mAh Rechargeable Li-ion - Standby Duration: Up to 10 days / 6 overnight sessions Key features: - Smartphone App Integration: Connects to iOS and Android devices via Bluetooth, with real-time audio and vibration alerts on your phone or smartwatch when a fish bites. - Full Remote Control: Volume, tone (7 diatonic scales) and sensitivity can be adjusted across all heads from either the receiver handset or the mobile app. - Ultra-Compact and IP66 Waterproof: Micro-sized alarm heads weighing under 37g each, fully sealed against torrential rain, mud and bankside dampness. - Multi-Color LED Customization: Individual LED colors (Blue, Red, Green, Yellow, Purple) can be switched on each head with a simple button hold. - Differential Drop-Back Indication: Distinct LED flashing and unique audio tones distinguish between a run and a drop-back bite. - Magnetic USB Charging: Built-in lithium-ion batteries eliminate disposable battery costs, with a magnetic charge cable for fast top-ups. Where it suits: - Overnight Carp and Pike Sessions: The lightweight receiver can sit under your pillow, or your smartphone can vibrate in your pocket, to wake you the instant a line pulls. - Stormy and Torrential Weather: The IP66 rating protects against heavy weather, avoiding the circuit-board shorts common with cheaper alarms. - Slack-Line and Snag Fishing: Max sensitivity suits wary margin carp, while backing off the sensitivity in choppy open water helps prevent false wind beeps. - Ultra-Light Roving Setups: The 36g heads sit flush on buzz bars or single banksticks without adding top-heavy bulk to your rod pod. The set can be run without the phone app. While the app adds extra visual customization and phone vibration alerts, all volume, tone, sensitivity and LED color settings can be adjusted using the physical buttons on the receiver and alarm heads. Drop-back alerts work by detecting reverse roller movement when a fish swims toward the rod tip and drops line slack. The alarm emits a distinct, continuous low-pitched sound and the white LED flashes, so a drop-back is immediately distinguishable from a forward run. To change the LED color on an individual head, turn it on and press and hold the 'S' (Sensitivity) button. The LED cycles through blue, red, green, yellow and purple; release the button when your preferred color lights up to lock it into memory. For multi-day sessions, a standard 5V/3A power bank can top up all three heads and the receiver using the multi-way magnetic charging cable. Wipe the charging contacts on the rear of the heads clean and dry of lake water before attaching the magnetic charging lead.
