Catch presentation
The Catch sensor presentation is shown below.
Note: If you use more than one catch sensor in the trawl, make sure
that you configure t hem with different channel numbers, and
that you mount and read them in the correct order!
(A) The character and the number identifies the type of sensor,
and which identification number the sensor has on the PI54
system. In this example, C3 means that it is a catch sensor, and
that it is sensor no.3.
(B) Status field. A yellow rectangle means that the sensor has
not been activated yet. A red rectangle means that the trawl has
been filled with fish, and this has triggered the sensor. When the
indicator switches from yellow t o red an audible alarm is
sounded, and the timer starts.
(C) Timer, records how many minutes that have elapsed since
the sensor was triggered. If the status switches from red back to
yellow, the timer stops. It is then restarted once the status
changes again. The timer must be manually restarted in t he
Numeric setup.
(D) Yellow pulse lamp blinks each time a signal is received
from the corresponding sensor.
(E) Interference warning, activated when the PI54 detects
interference from other nearby vessel(s) operating on the same
channel or with similar hydroacoustic equipment. Contact your
Simrad dealer to select a different frequency should this
problem persist.
