PI Rip sensor
Purpose
The PI Rip sensor is identical to the PI Catch, and it must be
regarded as a second application for the Catch sensor. The PI
Rip sensor will monitor if your net is damaged and ripped apart
due to obstructions or foreign objects on the seabed.
(A) = The PI R ip is mounted on the footrope with
the two sensor wires stretched out and the wires
engaged.
(B) = Two strong rubber bands ensure that the
sensor is activated. If the net is torn, the slack in
the net will disengage the Rip sensor.
Main parts
(A) = Negative charging and fastening lug
(B) = Positive charging and fastening lug
(C) = Communication link to the vessel
(D) = Location of sensor lamp
(E) = Water switch sensor
(F) = Detection wires
Daily operation
In most cases, one or two Rip sensors mounted
on the footrope will be sufficient to monitor the
condition of the net.
