Note We reserve the right to alter technical specifications without prior notice. A complete description of each sensor is provided on Simrad's website http://www. simrad. com and in the individual sensor instruction manuals. 68 328459/A PI sensors PI Bottom Contact purpose and application This is an S-type PI sensor. To charge this sensor, use the Simrad PI Charger or the Simrad PI MiniCharger. Figure 10 PI Bottom Contact application A B The trawl follows the bottom. The detection wire on the sensor is not released. The trawl has lifted off the bottom, and the detection wire is released. The purpose of the Simrad PI Bottom Contact sensor is to detect if a bottom trawl is accidentally lifted up from the seabed. This will allow fish to escape under the gear. · On a pelagic trawl, the sensor will notify you if you move the gear too close to the bottom. · Used on a purse seine you will be notified once the seine reaches the bottom, and this allows you to fish even on a rough bottom. · On a Danish seine the Simrad PI Bottom Contact sensor will let you know when the net has a stable bottom contact, and when it is time to haul. 328459/A 69 Simrad TRANSDUCER MOUNTING PLATE PI Catch purpose and application This is an S-type PI sensor. To charge this sensor, use the Simrad PI Charger or the Simrad PI MiniCharger. Figure 11 PI Catch application Using the Simrad PI Catch sensor, you can easily monitor the filling rate and the amount of catch in the trawl. [. . . ] If the situation is unavoidable, a loop of cable having a length proportional to the possible expansion of the joint must be provided. The minimum internal radius of the loop must be at least twelve times the external diameter of the cable. · Where a service requires duplicate supply lines, the cables must follow separate paths through the vessel whenever possible. · Signal cables must not be installed in the same cable tray or conduit as high-power cables.
