Airmar Gillnet Pinger Deterrent

The Airmar Gillnet Pinger Deterrent is a device that emits a high-frequency sound that is designed to deter marine mammals from approaching gillnets. It can be used to protect gillnets from damage and to reduce the risk of marine mammal entanglement. The pinger is small and lightweight, making it easy to attach to gillnets. It is also waterproof and can be used in all types of weather conditions.

The pinger emits a high-frequency sound that is designed to be aversive to marine mammals. The sound is not harmful to marine mammals, but it is effective at deterring them from approaching gillnets. The pinger has a range of up to 500 meters, which provides ample protection for gillnets.

WARNING
Never operate the pinger below 275 meters of water.
The increased pressure may force
water into the pinger
causing damage. When the pinger is brought to the surface, it
may explode possibly injuring people.

O-Rings
Caution
: The O-rings must be intact and well lubricated to make a
watertight seal.
The pinger is shipped with silicone lubricant applied to each O-ring.
Do not
remove this lubricant. An O-ring replacement kit #33-437-01 is available
from Airmar.
Installing the Battery
The pinger is designed to operate on one “D” size alkaline battery. Use
only alkaline batteries from a reputable manufacturer. Follow the battery
manufacturer’s instructions as to proper handling, storage, and disposal of
batteries. Expected battery life is one year.
1. Unscrew the two halves of the housing.
2. Inspect both O-rings for cuts or tears. Apply a light coating of silicone
lubricant or petroleum jelly when replacing any damaged O-rings.
3. Insert the battery taking note of the proper
orientation. The + and - orientation is
indicated on the outside of the housing.
4. Screw the two halves of the pinger
together.
Hand-tighten
only.
Do
not
over tighten. The pinger will
begin operating immediately
after the two halves are joined.
Caution
: Avoid opening the
pinger unnecessarily. Opening the
pinger exposes the internal
components to moisture and possible
damage.
Caution:
Never use solvents. Cleaners, fuel, paint, sealants, and other
products may contain strong solvents, such as acetone, which attack
many plastics greatly reducing their strength.
Warranty
Airmar warrants the pinger against defects in materials and workmanship
for 90 days from the date of purchase. If defective, the product will be
repaired or replaced at Airmar’s option at no charge with the dated proof
of purchase.
Although the pinger has been designed to be rugged, Airmar recognizes
that it is typically used in a harsh marine environment. This warranty does
not cover defects or damage outside the manufacturer’s control including:
accidental breakage (mechanical damage), battery leakage, misuse,
neglect, unauthorized modification, or normal wear and tear.
