Scanmar SuperCatch meets all the requirements any fisherman could desire:
• Correct and precise information
• New robust and reliable design eliminating the need for service and repair
• Labour saving
• Negligible operating costs and long lifetime providing very profitable investment
Uses:
Catch Sensor
- Activation of the sensor with the stretch wire in the traditional way
- Fast activation of stretch wire, important in large fish intake
- Up /down notifications so that the trawl is not towed with the cod end upside down
Filling Indicator
- Indicates filling amount using both pitch and roll angle measurements on the bag
- Pitch measurements show how the bag gradually fills up to the point where the sensor is mounted
- Shows exactly where the fish intake is so that the vessel can be turned to fish again in the area where the fish were detected
- Roll angle (twist) shows how the bag twists when it begins to fill and how it gradually rights itself when it is filled
- The sensor can be programmed for normal or quick updating
The log screen displays the activation of the Catch sensors (green/red line) and output of the Catch/Angle combination sensor when fish pass by the sensor on the way back to the cod end.
Sensor information:
Construction
- New design with double casting of the eletronics provides 100% protection
- Scanmar's newly developed Super Plastic eliminates damage to the sensor due to blows, tension, or dragging along the bottom with a twisted trawl
Batteries, operation time
- The new batteries have 10 times as much capacity as the old batteries
- Transmission strength in sensors can be adjusted depending on the depth of the fish, something that in most cases will lead to a further increase in operation time
- The sensor is always ready for use as a quick charge for a haul can be done in minutes
- The improved battery capasity and increased time between charges means that the battery can be used for many years before it needs replacement.
Charging and programming
- Newly developed technology in the charger, the sensor and the battery cartridge makes charging time a fraction of what is normal for this type of battery
- Transmission power and frequency are easily programmed with the new charger
- Choosing fast or normal refresh rate is also done easily via the charger
- The charger has features that can check both battery and sensor condition
