1. INTRODUCTION
Electronic Eye is a remote electronic
monitoring system with automatic HD still
image capture for the control of bycatch and
other illegal activities.
All activities during fishing operations are
registered in tamper-proof images with
embedded GPS position, date and time.
With the help of these images, the observer
can analyse and distinguish species, estimate
fishing quota and verify the fishing
operations used during the trip.
The Electronic Eye is a fully integrated and stand-alone system:
No installation needed at the bridge.
No need of additional equipment.
Just needs to be connected to the power supply.

2. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION
To ensure that the Electronic Eye works effectively, follow all the steps in the installation manual.
Checking the operation of the equipment
You must have a computer or a mobile phone with Wi-Fi to verify proper operation of the
system. Apple devices are not supported.
Antenna orientation
The part of the antenna with connectors must be facing down.
DC power for Electronic Eye
In the Electronic Eye with 24Vdc cable, this cable should not be short-circuited in any case.
Check with Marine Instruments for DC power.
Magnetic switch to turn on batteries
People with pacemakers should not handle the equipment unless they are sure
that the pacemaker will not be affected by the magnetic field.

4. ANTENNA AND CAMERA INSTALLATION
STEP 1. Select a clear area with good GPS coverage for the installation of the device.
STEP 2. Place the antenna supports in the antenna.
STEP 3. Fix the antenna. In order to do this, use the U-bolts and the bracket supplied with the
equipment.
THE ANTENNA MUST BE INSTALLED WITH ALL CONNECTORS FACING DOWN. See
document DI007 “Installation Diagram”.
Otherwise, the equipment might not work properly.

STEP 4. Connect the base of the antenna to the ground. Use the material provided by Marine
Instruments.
STEP 5. Fix the camera support to the vessel rail, using the U-bolts and the supplied nuts and
bolts. Connect the support to the ground.
STEP 6. Fix the camera on the support and adjust to the required angle. In order to do so you
must:
Unscrew the nuts at the top to remove the camera viewer.
To fix the angle, slightly adjust the screws on both sides.
With the position set, tighten the screws on both sides and fix the camera viewer in place.
STEP 7. Once the antenna and cameras are set, connect the power supply cable to the
device (please see “Cable installation” section).

STEP 1. Connect the camera cables to the base unit.
Up to three cameras can be connected to every base unit. Camera connectors are
marked with: “CAM1”, CAM2” and “CAM3”.
STEP 2. Remove the magnet and check that all the LEDs are on (see image). After checking,
place it back.
STEP 3. Connect one end of the cable to the antenna and the other to the vessel AC power
supply. Wait until all LEDs are on and then remove the magnet for good.
Power connectors are marked with: “PWR”.
A fuse must be inserted in the phase AC wire.
