Note
The system requires only one Camera Unit, but several models are available. Two
different models of the FX80 Camera Unit are shown here for illustrative purposes.
The FX80 Camera Unit (containing the camera and LED lamp) can be remotely mounted
on the trawl up to 600 meters from the headrope. In these cases there is a need for
a fourth-wire winch to handle this cable. This winch needs to be installed on deck in
a practical location as the (up to) 600 meters of cable will be spooled entirely off and
then back on with each tow. In applications where the camera is located on a kite or at
the headrope, there is no need for this cable and winch. This fourth wire is supplied by
Simrad. The required length can be decided at the time of purchase, or lengths can be
added at a later time. The system itself is not set for any particular length.
The number of displays must be chosen to fit the preferences of the crew. Many users
prefer separate displays for the trawl sonar and the live video feed.
Note
Displays are not included in the standard delivery from Simrad. These are commercial
items that can be purchased locally. The winch system on the trawl deck and the
third-wire cable must also be provided by a third-party manufacturer.
