The Notus Trawlmaster is a wireless net monitoring system. Its design is based on more than 25 years of experience. Notus has worked closely with customers to offer sensors that provide reliable, real time data and convenience of use.
With our unique and reliable Activ-Omni Intelligence, Notus offers the only net monitoring system to boast two-way communication, offering trawl wire lengths, AND true omnidirectional capabilities, providing sensor data when it’s needed most.
Trawlmaster is a wireless trawl monitoring system that provides complete trawl geometry.
Trawlers world over have experienced significant fuel savings coupled with increased catches.
Knowing the trawl’s geometry allows the user to keep the trawl optimal during every tow. Trawl wire lengths provide you with confidence that the trawl doors are in line. In cross currents, an adjustment is provided to align the doors. Door spread sensors allow users to tow by spread, not by speed. This is a well proven method to increase catches in heavy current. Upgrades can be made to these basic door sensors, such as door angle, temperature and depth. Back on the trawl, a complete picture can be provided using headline, bottom contact, wing-end and catch sensors.
THE NOTUS DIFFERENCE
Notus sensors boast an active, two-way communication system, not offered by other net monitoring systems. Instead of relying on traditional one-way pingers, Notus systems ‘talk’ to each other via proven two-way protocols. Using this reliable technology, Notus is the ONLY system capable of delivering trawl wire lengths with doorpsread of EACH net, giving a true geometric view of the gear.
