Height/depth Sensor

Scanmar’s new Height/Depth sensor for Purse Seine provides important and reliable information about the position and the movement of the seine at all times, increasing the catch ability and reducing the danger of tearing up the seine.

The new sensor is developed specially for purse seiners and is a stronger and more robust version of the classic combination sensor for purse-seiners. The electronics is moulded into the same resilient plastics as in the SS4 generation of sensors. This protects against damage. In addition, the sensor body is reinforced with Kevlar-reinforcements. The sensor withstands a strech of 6 tons and is Scanmar’s strongest sensor ever! Includes the specially designed mounting kit with great rupture strenght.
