How deep can you go?

When the sonar

and echo sounder

tell you how deep

the school go, it is

good to know that

you can place your

fi shing gear at the

same depth.

And even better,

you can monitor

and hold the desired

depth.

The design is rugged and awardwinning, and the sensor is

available for three different depth ranges.

The PI Depth sensor provides information

about the current depth and the depth

changes of your gear.

• Bottom trawl: On a bottom trawl, you will use the

sensor to achieve full control when shooting, and

to position the trawl on the slope.

• Pelagic trawl: During pelagic trawling, you know

how important it is to position the trawl relative to

the largest concentration of fish. By using a Depth

sensor, you can monitor the exact depth relative to

the surface, and adjust the trawl depth accordingly.

Additional depth sensors on the doors will monitor

if the doors stay at the same depth.

• Purse seine: During seining, use the Depth sensor

to monitor the depth of the net, and the descending

speed of the net. Then you will know when to start

pursing, and which speed to use.

• Danish seine: Mounted on a Danish Seine the

Depth sensor monitors the sinking speed of the net,

and it will tell you when to start hauling once the

net has stopped sinking.
