ADVANCED FEATURES

The SR-1601 employs numerous advanced features provid-
ing such functions as to simultaneously monitor 16 different 
tunnels giving real time distribution of counts.  The counts 
are displayed on liquid crystal displays (LCDs) which provide 
easy readability even in direct sunlight.  The count is retained 
by internal display batteries if power to the fish counter is 
lost.  Also included is a wide-range sensitivity control which 
provides the ability to set the size of the smallest fish that 
will be counted.

WATER CONDITIONS

The counter is designed to work in fresh water with a con-
ductivity of 10 to 500 microsiemen.  The 16 tube counting 
head must be completely submerged in fresh water and an 
appropriate water head developed to overcome the swim-
ming ability of the fish to be counted.  The fish are then 
crowded into the vicinity of the tube entrances where they 
are pulled through and counted. With proper tube size and 
water flow, count accuracy is better than 98%.
