Sacrificial water switch

The water switch on your sensor is 

a sacrificial brass screw. It must be 

checked every month, and whenever 

required due to wear and tear, it must 

be replaced.

Mounting and installation 
principles 

The PI Remote/Depth sensor and 

the Spread (or Spread/Depth) sensors 

must be mounted in dedicated 

adapters on each trawl door. These 

adapters must be installed beforehand. 

Detailed information on how to install 

the adapters are provided with the 

installation kit.

The PI Remote/Depth sensor is 

mounted on the starboard door, while 

the PI Spread (or PI Spread/Depth) 

sensor is mounted on the port door.

Note: It is essential that there is a 

clear line of sight between the two 

transverse communication “eyes” 

(one on each sensor). It is also 

important that both the PI Spread (or 

Spread/Depth) and the PI Remote/

Depth sensors have a clear line of 

sight to the hydrophone on the vessel.

(A) The PI Spread (or Spread/Depth) 

sensor is mounted on the port door.

(B) The PI Remote/Depth sensor is 

mounted on the starboard door.

(C) Communication link between the 

PI Spread (or Spread/Depth)

sensor and the PI hydrophone, 

provides distance information.

Numerical presentation 

The numerical presentation of the PI 

Remote/Depth data is automatically 

shown in the relevant display modes. 

It is identical to the presentation 

provided by the PI Depth sensor.

When the readings are stable, the 

digits are shown in black colour. If the 

contact is lost, the characters 

***

 are 

shown in grey.

If the depth is out of range, the 

displays shows
