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. The sensor simply monitors the expansion of the meshes in the cod-end. Once the volume caught is enough to expand the meshes, they will pull the detector wires and engage the sensor. The sensitivity of the sensor can easily be adjusted by extending the detection rubber bands to span additional meshes. To monitor the filling rate, we recommend that you use minimum two sensors. Place the first sensor at the far end of the cod-end, it will tell you that the trawl is actually fishing. Once the trawl is filled to the chosen location, the sensor is engaged, and you know that it is time to haul. 70 328459/A PI sensors PI Depth 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 12 PI Depth application The Simrad PI Depth sensor provides information about the current depth and the depth changes of your gear. [. . . ] · Unless it is absolutely unavoidable, cables should not be installed across the vessel's expansion joints. 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.
