Page 7: Introduction
Introduction INTRODUCTION Efficient fishery with trawl and purse seine assumes professional and adequate instrumentation on the gear. Simrad has provided professional instruments for fish finding for more than sixty years. This user manual described installation, use and maintenance of the PI Spread/Depth sensor when put to use with the PI catch monitoring systems. -
Page 8: Main Parts Identification
Simrad PI Spread/Depth Note Each Spread/Depth sensor can be configured to communicate with one of two Remote sensors; Remote 1 or Remote 2. Label the Spread/Depth sensor accordingly, and ensure that you only use the sensors in the correct pairs. -
Page 9: Information On The Sensor Label
Introduction Information on the sensor label The sensor label provides the following information. Figure 3 The PI Spread/Depth sensor label (CD012200N) (A) Channel identification. You must write down the channel currently used by the sensor to communicate with the PI system. The red background colour on the label is chosen to remind you that the sensor is mounted on the port trawl door. -
