Simrad PI DEPTH - DATASHEET REV A Datasheet page 2

The PI Depth sensor provides information
about the current depth and the depth
changes of your gear.
• Bottom trawl: On a bottom trawl, you will use the
sensor to achieve full control when shooting, and
to position the trawl on the slope.
• Pelagic trawl: During pelagic trawling, you know
how important it is to position the trawl relative to
the largest concentration of fish. By using a Depth
sensor, you can monitor the exact depth relative to
the surface, and adjust the trawl depth accordingly.
Additional depth sensors on the doors will monitor
if the doors stay at the same depth.
• Purse seine: During seining, use the Depth sensor
to monitor the depth of the net, and the descending
speed of the net. Then you will know when to start
pursing, and which speed to use.
