MAXIMIZING YOUR PERFORMANCE AT SEA

The new trawl sonar platform combines
the best of two worlds
SIMRAD
FS
SYSTEM
The perfect back up
By installing a PI cabinet and
hydrophone, you have a complete
back up system for catch indi-
cators and other sensors.
It is now possible to get trawl
height, door spread, catch and
depth information from the wire-
less sensors by implementing
the receiver from the wireless
PI system into the third wire
FS system. In addition all the
data from the wireless sensors
can be received wireless by the
vessel making it the ultimate
back up system if the third
wire breaks.
The new Simrad FS Trawl system provide the full
picture by utilizing the ultimate FS third wire system
with PI sensors integration. This sophisticated solution
enables the fisherman to have full control of any
type of fishery.
The system provide real-time images from the trawl
sonar head and the data from the PI sensors to the
bridge, thus maximizing the quality of the catch and
increasing effeciency at sea.
A major benefit of the third wire
integrated with PI sensors is to
prevent loss of communication
with the trawl as the vessel is
changing course or in heavy
sea conditions.

New flexible Trawl Sonar System
The Simrad FS70 full screen presentation in a polar-
sounder mode indicates the position of the trawl
close to the bottom and the opening of the net
by displaying the Cursor 1 and 2.
In addition, the sounder display provides an accurate
depth of the bottom and the foot rope. The operator
can monitor up to 4 catch indicators, indicating the
amount of fish being caught by the trawl and the time
when the sensors where activated.
The Simrad FS70 200kHz Echosounder provides
a real time picture of the trawl opening and position
relative to the bottom. In addition to the high resolution
sounder, the operator can control the decent of the
trawl during the set by monitoring the position of
the foot rope and the bottom.

FS70 Trawl unit
The FS70 trawl housing unit is designed for
the harshest environments and for withstanding
the extreme forces encountered when shooting
a trawl. However, it is easy to handle and the
now infamous Simrad yellow colour makes it
easy to see even in the dark.
The Catch sensor provides information
about the filling rate of fish in the cod
end.
PI Catch sensor
Catch sensor 2 is active and has been
triggered for 60 minutes during the last
tow. Catch sensor 1 is not active, but
has been active for 10 minutes.
