Acoustic deterrent device for dolphins and other cetaceans, for installation on fishing gear.
Acoustic Pinger V2.3 · Registered trademark no. 2.712.083
The automatic on/off switch activated by immersion in water saves battery and increases the device’s operating time.
When the internal circuit detects less than 3% of effective life, a flashing red light comes on: the Pinger has reached the end of its service life and must be replaced with a new one.
To avoid acoustic pollution of the marine environment in case of accidental loss, after 48 hours of uninterrupted immersion the Pinger switches to silent standby mode. It reactivates automatically once taken out of the water.
The stainless-steel cable allows any fixing configuration: marine-grade plastic cable ties, shackles, ropes, etc. The housing is an advanced technical polymer, resistant to abrasion and impact, with an additive against degradation from ultraviolet radiation and other agents in the marine environment.
Pinger® devices have an omnidirectional emission pattern, so their position on the net does not affect acoustic coverage. They are attached to the net with small lines or plastic cable ties through their two steel-cable loops, in the areas where marine mammals are most likely to enter, to prevent them from becoming entangled.
Installed horizontally at the mouth of the net.
Installed horizontally, less than 1 metre below the float line.
Installed vertically, more than 10 metres below the float line.
Regulation. This model is developed in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/967 of 3 July 2020, which for these Pinger characteristics sets a maximum spacing of 200 metres between devices, with one device fixed at each end of the net or combination of joined nets.
