2 INSTALLATION

2.1 MOUNTING

Standard head rope mounting

Marport's Compact Trawl Explorer (2), displayed in the image on the side) is placed at the centre of the net‟s headrope (4), facing toward the vessel. A double mesh (3) piece of netting should be installed to provide stability to the sensor, while buoys (1) on either side provide a level platform for the unit during trawling operations. Buoys ensure that the down-looking transducer beam (6) is vertical for footrope (5) detection.

Figure 3

Figure 4


5

Marport recommends the use of a netting bag located in the desired mounting position. Use a safety line between one of the sensor‟s attachment lugs and a suitable location in the net, as shown in the above image. The safety line should be a steel wire with fitted small shackles at either end. Sensors that are not properly secured may be lost during fishing operations.

3 USAGE

3.1 ACTIVATION A Sensor will automatically activate when placed in sea water.

To activate a Sensor outside of sea water, simply use a jumper to connect the negative charge (C)

and the seawater charge (D).Depending on the transducer incorporated in the manufacture of the

Catch Sensor, the operator will see the uplink transducer LED (N) illuminate when the Catch Sensor

is activated.

If the LED is not visible, listen for a clicking sound which indicates activation.

3.2 CHARGING 0. Wash the sensor with fresh before charging. This is done to prevent rusting of charging pins

1. Connect the 3-pin glowing GREEN charging connector to sensor as shown.

2. The glow of connector will be RED, Orange or GREEN

RED In the beginning of charge, this indicates that the battery is LOW

Orange when the battery is 80 % charged


7

GREEN when battery is fully charged or when it is not connected.

3.3 TE SENSOR ON COMMANDVIEW 3 (BRIDGDE UNIT) Data from a Trawl Explorer is displayed as a echogram data format displaying a view of the head rope, or footrope (or both, depending on net configuration), clearance to the seabed, and fish targets relative to the vertical opening entering the net. Data from NBTE is typically displayed with catch sensor in a channel called TE Six Catch

Figure 7

Trawl Explorer data can be shown on 3D sonar displays, or “waterfall sonar.” The bar on the right is the A-Scope, which shows the current sonar data. The sonar gauge shows the sonar history. The 3D echogram moves towards you with the most recent data

4 MAINTAINANCE

4.1 GOOD PRACTICE Marport‟s Catch Sensor uses Lithium-Ion batteries, which must be charged with either the

Marport Basic Sensor Charger, or the Marport Medusa Multi-charger.

Sensor should be washed with fresh water before it„s charged or stored

All attached equipment should be checked for wear and tear, and promptly replaced

4.2 CONFIGURATION Marport‟s Trawl Explorer is a highly configurable device.

Best resolution: Ping length corresponding to 40% of the sample period may increase image resolution and target detail. Range: Ping length corresponds to 80% of the sample period can increase the detection distance of the target without a major drain on the power supply. The pulse length increases linearly with increasing operating range

Rule of thumb: If you are looking for long range set as long pulse length as possible. If you are looking for good resolution (separate fish from the bottom for example) set the pulse length as short as possible.
