USER'S MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
The
LR-24
is the most advanced
Electrofisher ever produced.
Its design incorporates many new safety
features to help protect both operating personnel
and fish. Many features are refinements
of conventions established in earlier SRI
electrofishers and some are entirely new.
The user interface has been designed to
make the LR-24 easy to use. With the Quick
Setup feature, the LR-24 automatically sets
output voltage, frequency, and duty cycle. An
immersion sensor automatically turns the output
off if the bottom of the packframe comes into
contact with water.
The anode-out-of-water detector automatically
turns off the output if the anode ring is raised out
of the water while the output is on.
Taking the time to familiarize yourself with these features will go a long way
towards learning how to use the LR-24 in the most efficient manner.
ATTENTION!
