  • Page 55 Make sure to always use a protective cage when using the sensor. The protective cage must be approved by Marport. Any additional protective devices installed in front of the head may disrupt the flow and therefore alter the water speed measurements.
  • Page 56 The sensor must be placed in a way that there is less than +/- 5 degrees of pitch and roll. You may need to add floats to the back of the sensor to achieve this. Standard Installation The Speed Explorer Pro and Trawl Speed are placed below the headrope, EM log pins facing down. 1. Cage attached to the headrope 2.
  • Page 57 Trawl Explorer: Reversed Installation In this installation, the EM log pins face up instead of down. In this case, the Speed Explorer Pro is installed on a board to provide more stability. The aim of this installation is to prevent the EM log pins and transducer to hit the deck when the trawl is hauled.
