Simrad PI SeineSounder

Dual sensor for purse seine and trawl

Simrad PI SeineSounder is a dual sensor for purse seine,
danish seine and trawl. With built-in echo sounder and depth
sensor it does two jobs at the same time!

(CD012205A)

Efcient shery with trawl, purse seine

and danish seine requires correct and
accurate instruments for gear and catch
monitoring.

With the PI SeineSounder Simrad
introduces a new member of the PI

family; a dual sensor that measures

current depth and height above the

seabed - simultanously!

Applications

Simrad’s PI SeineSounder provides
you with the accurate vertical position
of the gear.

Purse seine

The PI SeineSounder is mounted
vertically below the footrope. From
this position it transmits accurate
information about the height above
the seabed and the depth.

Trawl and Danish seine

The PI SeineSounder is mounted
horisontally behind the headrope.

Sensor key

In order to use the PI SeineSounder
both vertically on a purse seine and
horizontally on a trawl, the echo
sounder inside the sensor is equipped
with two transducers. Before you use
the sensor you must therefore “set
it up” with one of the sensor keys.
These are two special bolts provided
in a gift box.

• LONG bolt for purse seine

• SHORT bolt for trawl

The bolts are screwed rmly in,

but not tightened. Note that ordinary
bolts can not be used!
