1INTRODUCTION
This document aims at explaining the steps to follow to achieve a quick and effective installation of the
MIR5000 buoy reception system with M3P and M3P-T models.
The new longline location system designed by Marine Instruments includes transmitters (M3P and M3P-T
buoys) which will send positions of several points of the lines configured, the buoy reception system via
radio (MIR5000) and MSB Palangre software, which displays the data received by MIR5000.
In this document we will explain how the system is installed and how you can easily start receiving buoys
in order to manage the longlines deployed.
