Accurate distance to the bottom!

With a built-in echo sounder, this new PI sensor is full of advanced

technology. Wherever you place it, it will always tell you the exact

distance to the bottom.

Applications

(855-165188 / Rev.A / April 2005)

The height sensor measures the height

over the bottom, that is the distance

from the bottom and up to wherever the

sensor is located. This provides you with a

valuable range of applications for bottom

and pelagic trawling.

• Bottom trawl: Place the sensor behind the

headrope, and it will tell you the height of the trawl

opening. This allows you to adjust you equipment

immediately if the opening is reduced, and you will

avoid loosing catch.

• Pelagic trawl: With a height sensor behind

the footrope you will know at once if the trawl

approaches the bottom. If you use a second sensor

behind the headrope, the difference between the

two measurements will give you the height of the

trawl opening.
