Applications
(855-165188 / Rev.A / April 2005)
The height sensor measures the height
over the bottom, that is the distance
from the bottom and up to wherever the
sensor is located. This provides you with a
valuable range of applications for bottom
and pelagic trawling.
• Bottom trawl: Place the sensor behind the
headrope, and it will tell you the height of the trawl
opening. This allows you to adjust you equipment
immediately if the opening is reduced, and you will
avoid loosing catch.
• Pelagic trawl: With a height sensor behind
the footrope you will know at once if the trawl
approaches the bottom. If you use a second sensor
behind the headrope, the difference between the
two measurements will give you the height of the
trawl opening.
