INTRODUCTION
The Simrad PI54 is an integration of proven commercial fishing
technologies which can dramatically increase the yield and
effectiveness of purse/danish seining and bottom/pelagic
trawling applications.
By means of six underwater sensors mounted on the gear, this
robust, maintenance-free catch monitoring system allows
unparalleled control over f ishing operations by providing
continuous, centralised information on the vessel’s position, its
gear and the environment at and below the surface.
This manual is not intended to be read from cover to cover, but
is designed as a book of references that you can consult
whenever necessary.
This manual describes PI54 software version 0.40.
