PI Spread/Depth purpose and application

This is an PI sensor. To charge this sensor, use the
L-type
Simrad PI MaxiCharger
Note
This is a "dual" sensor. It will seize two communication channels on the PI50.
Figure 38 PI Spread/Depth application
The purpose of the Simrad PI Spread/Depth dual sensor is to achieve accurate
measurements of both the water depth and the distance between the two trawl doors.
The PI Spread/Depth sensor thus contains both a pressure sensor to measure the water
depth, and a spread sensor to measure the distance to the Remote sensor on the other
trawl door. The PI Spread/Depth sensor has been developed to be used on both bottom
and pelagic trawls.
The sensor is normally installed on the port trawl door using an adapter.
Six versions of the sensor are available. These are set up for standard or extended spread
range, and maximum depth 300 m, 600 m or 1000 m.
