Trawl Sensors
Pinger is the term used for the sensors that are attached to the trawl and/or trawl bag, and which transmit simple information to the vessel. The method used for transmission and reception of signals is very simple and very reliable. Scanmar has delivered more than 30.000 Pingers through the years.
The new SS4 Pingers differ from earlier generations in “all” areas:
- New sensor construction and newly developed plastic material
- 10 times larger battery capacity
- Programmable sending effect – multiplies the working time
- Fully charged in 2.5 hours
- Multifunctional – the sensors have several functions built in
- The functions can be used simultaneously or alternately
- The sensors can be placed in different places as needed
- Simple to switch frequency when interference occurs
- Light diode shows when the sensor is transmitting
- Simple self test
The sensors included in the SS4 Pinger series are:
- SuperCatch - Catch sensor
- SuperCatch - Filling sensor
- Twist sensor
- Depth sensor
- Temperature sensor
- Rip sensor
The sensors can be delivered with one function and be updated later, or have several functions at delivery.
