Multi-direction button - controls the cur-
sor’s location in activated menus and dis-
plays, moves the VRM.
ENT - turns the cursor on and off, opens
parameters for the insertion and confirms
data. Select setup directly from the chosen
display.
Minus (-) Plus (+) - selects available values,
scales and ranges.
PWR - turns on the unit, press until the
display is visible. Adjusts LCD brightness,
contrast, display colour and keypad illumina-
tion. Press twice to turn off the unit.
WIN - changes between one of the four
selected windows. Press when the desired
window is displayed to select. Press and
hold for more than two seconds to actuate
automatic window rotation, press again to
return to normal operation.
Refer to the PI30 Instruction manual for more information
concerning echo sounder and navigation keypad functions.
D1 to D3 - indicates which
depth sensor corresponds
to the data window.
m - indicates that the depth
is shown in meters.
Yellow pulse lamp - blinks
each time a signal is received
from the respective sensor.
Sensor depth - is rounded to the nearest meter for
depths over 100 m, otherwise it is displayed to one
decimal place. Maximum depth is 290 m.
Rise/sink rate - is displayed
in the selected units per
minute. Values near 0 indicate
that the net has stopped sink-
ing.
Arrows - indicate if the net is
either rising or sinking. Here
the net is sinking at a rate of
12 m/min.

Interference signal - displayed when nearby
vessel(s) operate on the same channel or with other
hydroacoustic equipment. Contact your Simrad
dealer to select a different sensor frequency should
this problem persist (see MP filter on side two).
Graphic alarm - the arrows’
direction indicates if the net
depth should be increased
or decreased with regard to
the selected alarm limits.
Graphic alarms may be
accompanied with or with-
out audible alarms.

Depth scale - can be
decreased or increased using
the respective - or + buttons
on the keypad.
Bar graph - displays a “side
view” of the net’s depth.
Alarm limits - both the upper
and lower limits are dis-
played.
Time scale - is selected in
Graphic setup.
An echogram may be superimposed on the Graphic
display when an echo sounder transducer is
installed.
Line graph - provides a
depth and sinkrate profile
for the net. Line thickness
is selected in the Graphic
setup.
D1 to D3 - identifies which
sensor corresponds to the
data window (background
colour) and subsequent bar
and line graph informa-
tion.
m - indicates that sensor
depth is shown in meters or
the sinkrate is in m/min.
Sensor information - dis-
plays actual sensor depth
or sinkrate (selected in the
Graphic setup).

PS30 sensors are preferably attached to the net’s bridle and suspended
freely so that they point vertically when pursing.
When purse seining
for tuna, PS30 sen-
sors should be
attached to the net’s
footrope (refer to the
Instruction manual).
Which ever method of attachment is chosen, PS30 sensors
must be protected against unnecessary shock when shooting
the net.
Sensor(s) attached near the surface will
indicate if the net submerges when purs-
Information from the sensors (D1, D2 and D3) is displayed in
the corresponding data windows (1, 2 and 3) with differently
coloured backgrounds to facilitate interpretation.
A complete overview of the fishing operation is
achieved using three PS 30 depth sensors, permanently
labelled D1, D2 or D3 and attached to the purse seine
as illustrated above. Once deployed, the sensors begin
transmitting automatically.
