Trawl Sonar Head: Vertical/Sounder type with frequencies of 120kHz or 330kHz, depth rating of 2000 meters, and sensors for temperature, depth, and catch.
Power/TTM Interface Unit: Power input of 115/240VAC, output selectable between 89Vdc to 200Vdc.
FS Trawl Unit: Made of polyurethane, dimensions of 79cm x 43cm x 27cm, and weight of 28 kg.

Features

The system provides real-time images and data from the trawl sonar head and PI sensors, maximizing catch quality and efficiency.
It includes a backup system with a PI cabinet and hydrophone for catch indicators and other sensors.
The FS70 offers a full-screen presentation in polarsounder mode, displaying trawl position and net opening.
Operators can monitor up to four catch indicators and control trawl descent by observing the foot rope and bottom position.

PI Sensors
The PI sensors provide critical information such as fish filling rate, door spread, and more. They serve as a backup system, ensuring data reception even if the third wire breaks.

Design and Durability
The FS70 trawl unit is built to withstand harsh environments and extreme forces during trawl operations. Its hyper yellow color enhances visibility in low-light conditions.

TH€ N€W TRAWL SONAR PLATFORM COMBINES TH€ B€ST OF TWO WORLDS The new Simrad FS Trawl system provides 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 trawl 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 integrted with PI sensors is to prevent loss of communication with the trawl as the vessel...
