Pairing the Raptor Remote
Pairing a Remote to One Raptor
- Press and hold the Up button and the Down button on the Remote at the same time until the Anchor Selection LEDs and the Mode LED on the Remote begin to scroll red, green, red and red. Then release them.
- Immediately press the Pair button on the Indicator Panel located on the Raptor Pump Assembly. The PAIR/Maintenance LED will begin to flash blue. The Raptor and Remote will go into Pairing Mode for 30 seconds. If a signal with three fast beeps occurs, the Raptor and Remote have successfully paired. If 30 seconds pass while in Pairing Mode and they do not successfully pair, a chirp will sound from the Pump Assembly, signaling that the Pairing has timed out.
- If the Pair is unsuccessful, repeat the process.
Pairing a Remote to Two Raptors
- Press and hold the Up button and the Down button on the Remote at the same time until the Anchor Selection LEDs and the Mode LED on the Remote begin to scroll red, green, red and red. Then release them.
- Immediately press the Pair button on the Indicator Panel located on the Pump Assembly of one of the Raptors. The PAIR/Maintenance LED on both Raptors will begin to flash blue. The Raptor and Remote will go into Pairing Mode for 30 seconds.
- If a signal with three fast beeps occurs, the Raptor and Remote have successfully paired. If 30 seconds pass while in Pairing Mode and they do not successfully pair, a chirp will sound from the Pump Assembly signaling that the Pairing has timed out.
- If the Pair is unsuccessful, repeat the process.
Clearing Paired Remotes or Devices from the Raptor
- Retract the anchor on the Raptor by pressing the Up button located on the Indicator Panel on the Pump Assembly
- Turn the power to the Raptor "off" by removing the resettable Fuse located on the Raptor Power Cable.

Auto Bottom Mode is only available on the Active Anchoring Model and is identified by a Mode LED that flashes slowly from green to green and then red to red. On the Active Anchoring Model, the Anchor Mode button will also enable and disable Active Anchoring. Active Anchoring is engaged and disengaged by a single press and hold. When the Mode LED displays green it is enabled and when the Mode LED displays red it is disabled. -
Speed Button / Anchor Selection Button
Single press to display the current operating speed. While the speed is displayed, continue to single press through the operating speed to toggle between slow, medium and fast. The Mode LED will flash red three consecutive times at the speed that corresponds with the selected speed. Pressing and holding the button will toggle the remote to control either the Port, Starboard or both anchors (when two anchors are paired in the system). The Raptor Selection LEDs will illuminate to correspond to the anchor(s) selected. The right LED will illuminate when the Starboard anchor is selected and the left LED will illuminate when the Port anchor is selected.
