SIMRAD ITI Catch monitoring system
Scanmar SuperCatch meets all the requirements any fisherman could desire:
• Correct and precise information
• New robust and reliable design eliminating the need for service and repair
• Labour saving
• Negligible operating costs and long lifetime providing very profitable investment
Uses:
Catch Sensor
Activation of the sensor with the stretch wire in the traditional way
Fast activation of stretch wire, important in large fish intake
Up /down notifications so that the trawl is not towed with the cod end upside down
Filling Indicator
Indicates filling amount using both pitch and roll angle measurements on the bag
Pitch measurements show how the bag gradually fills up to the point where the sensor is mounted
Shows exactly where the fish intake is so that the vessel can be turned to fish again in the area where the fish were detected
Roll angle (twist) shows how the bag twists when it begins to fill and how it gradually rights itself when it is filled
The sensor can be programmed for normal or quick updating
The log screen displays the activation of the Catch sensors (green/red line) and output of the Catch/Angle combination sensor when fish pass by the sensor on the way back to the cod end.
Sensor information:
Construction
New design with double casting of the eletronics provides 100% protection
Scanmar's newly developed Super Plastic eliminates damage to the sensor due to blows, tension, or dragging along the bottom with a twisted trawl
Batteries, operation time
The new batteries have 10 times as much capacity as the old batteries
Transmission strength in sensors can be adjusted depending on the depth of the fish, something that in most cases will lead to a further increase in operation time
The sensor is always ready for use as a quick charge for a haul can be done in minutes
The improved battery capasity and increased time between charges means that the battery can be used for many years before it needs replacement.
Charging and programming
Newly developed technology in the charger, the sensor and the battery cartridge makes charging time a fraction of what is normal for this type of battery
Transmission power and frequency are easily programmed with the new charger
Choosing fast or normal refresh rate is also done easily via the charger
The charger has features that can check both battery and sensor condition
