Paravane arrangement
The portable hydrophone available with the PI54 system has a
broad coverage area. For this reason, its orientation with regard
to the sensors is not that critical.
The hydrophone weighs approximately 700 grams (in salt
water) and can be mounted on a towed paravane. Simrad can
supply a simple solution for this. T his solution i s suitable f or
smaller vessels, and it is made up of a little paravane and a
weight. The arrangement is designed to draw the portable
hydrophone down to approximate five to ten meters depth when
towed at a moderate speed (maximum of three knots). The kit
contains all necessary parts (except one!) as described in the
following illustration.
