Catch monitoring is becoming more and more important in today's fishing where efficiency on all levels is crucial to stay profitable. The Simrad PI50 has been developed with this in mind where all important information is easy to find and understand. [. . . ] All these sensors can be placed on your trawl or purse seine to monitor key parameters. The design of the sensors is extremely rugged, and they are built to withstand all the beating and battering they are subjected to on a trawl or purse seine. Simrad PI Bottom Contact Simrad PI Height Simrad PI Spread Mounted on a bottom trawl, pelagic trawl or purse seine, this sensor will tell you if the gear touches the bottom, or lifts off. Simrad PI Catch With a built-in echo sounder, this new PI sensor will always tell you the exact distance to the bottom or the footrope. Simrad PI Rip Used on bottom and pelagic trawls the PI Spread sensor provides crucial information about your trawl behaviour. It tells you the exact distance between the trawl doors. Simrad PI Spread/Depth This is your "eye" at the cod-end. With this sensor in use, you can easily monitor the filling rate and the amount of catch in the trawl. Simrad PI Depth This sensor allows you to monitor if your net is damaged. Simrad PI SeineSounder When the sonar and echo sounder tell you how deep the school goes, it is good to know that you can place your fishing gear at the same depth. Use this sensor to monitor and hold the desired depth. Simrad PI Geometry From its position on the gear, this dual sensor measures both the depth below the surface and the height above the bottom. This dual sensor measures the physical distance between the trawl doors as well as the depth of the trawl door. Simrad PI Temperature This sensor measures the water temperature. Fishing in too warm or too cold water may be just a waste of time and money. Simrad PI Twin Spread Check the geometry of your bottom trawl, pelagic trawl and danish seine. This is achieved by making accurate measurements of the distances between the centre of the headrope (or footrope) and each of the trawl doors or wing ends. Used on twin trawls the Twin Spread and Remote sensors provide crucial information about your trawl behaviour. The three sensors working together tell you the exact distance between the two pairs of trawl doors. A maritime computer The computer provided optionally with the Simrad PI50 system is well known to our echo sounder users. Small, light and with no moving parts it is an excellent choice for demaning maritime operations. SIMRAD PI50 Technical specifications · Main units - PI50 Receiver - Computer - Colour display · Number of sensors: 6 PI50 Receiver · Interface to PC: Serial RS232 · Hydrophone plug: Same as PI30, PI32, PI44 and PI54 · Power: +24 Vdc, 250 mA (1) Minimum computer requirements Catch Monitoring Fishermen all over the world rely every day on information from the Simrad PI catch monitoring systems. Information about door spread and door stability, catch volume in the cod end, and the height of trawl are all vital for an efficient trawler. On a purse seine you receive information about net depth, sinking rate and thermo clines. All Simrad PI Sensors are made in titanium and shock absorbing material. [. . . ] Fishermen all over the world trust Simrad to provide the very best in quality, and lead the way in innovative functionality, and to come up with better and more advanced designs. It's a well placed trust. 338012 / Rev. A / September 2009 Simrad Kongsberg Maritime AS Strandpromenaden 50 P. O.
