Trawl Explorer | V7 | Installation
1.
Place sensor (
1
) at the centre of the net's headrope (
2
), facing the vessel.
2.
Install a double-mesh piece of netting (
3
) to stabilize the sensor.
3.
Buoys (
4
) on either sides provide a level platform for the unit during trawling operations.
4.
Buoys ensure that down-looking transducer beam (
5
) is vertical for footrope (
6
) detection.
5.
The signal is oriented toward the vessel (
7
).
We recommend you to use a netting bag placed
on a suitable location in the net. Use a safety line
between one of the sensor's attachment lugs, as
shown in the picture below. The safety line should
be a steel wire with fitted small shackles at either
end.
Important:
Sensors not properly secured may be lost during fishing operations.
