Type ScanSafe
Ultra durable rubber bands, carabiners and safety cables for mounting sensors on the net.
The Catch, Depth, Rip, TrawlEye and TrawlSounder sensors are mounted with specially made, ultra durable rubber bands, carabiners and safety cables. The Flow, BottomContact and Grid sensors are fixed with their own mounting kits.
ScanSafe is a mounting kit for the SS4 Catch and Depth Sensor, and can be purchased as an optional extra.
The ScanSafe trawl mounting kit can be used for all Scanmar sensors (except some old versions of the TrawlEye sensor). This new generation mounting kit provides a very fast, easy and reliable method for mounting the sensor. The rope used is stronger than steel, and is as strong as the traditional safety wire in the old Scanmar mounting kit. The rope in the mounting kit is designed to break in high stress conditions before the sensor is damaged. However, the rubber straps will in this case normally prevent a loss of the sensor.
