1. Disclaimer

The data in the FishSAFE unit is provided free of charge. While it is believed to be

accurate it is not verified or approved by FLTC Services Limited or their agents,

suppliers or subcontractors.

FishSAFE is designed to provide an audible and visual warning of certain surface

and subsea hazards and must not be relied on as a primary source of navigation

information.

A user of the unit should use government charts and prudent navigation practices.

To operate a FishSAFE unit you must first accept:

1. the FishSAFE Terms and Conditions of Supply, Maintenance and Use

(the FS unit terms and conditions) which are available in full at

www.fishsafe.eu and

2. that except to the extent required by law or as otherwise provided in

the FS unit terms and conditions FLTC Services Limited and their agents,

suppliers and subcontractors shall have no liability to you or to any

other person using or benefiting from use of this FishSAFE unit for

any damage or loss caused by any error or omission in the data or

defect in the unit.

Operations Manual

2. Introduction

FishSAFE is a hands free device which warns a fishing vessel skipper of nearby

surface and seabed obstructions that may be a hazard and may become caught in

fishing gear. FishSAFE uses a combination of visible and audible warnings to indicate

the level of risk. FishSAFE provides the skipper with an appreciation of potential

hazards, allowing the appropriate action to be taken on-board to minimise risk.

There are two types of risk areas (hazards) which are capable of triggering an

alarm. These are Safety Zones and Hazard Areas.

1. Safety Zones. In the UK, Under the Petroleum Act 1987 the Secretary

of State may, by Order, establish a 500m Safety Zone around a sub-

sea installation within designated waters. Under the same Act all oil

and gas installations which project above the sea surface at any state

of the tide are automatically protected by a Safety Zone. (Merchant

Shipping Notice NO. M.1290, Department of Transport, Marine

Directorate, London, September 1987). Both of these types are shown

on the FishSAFE unit as Safety Zones.

2. Hazard Areas. In the UK, a hazard area is not designated by Order

and indicates a hazardous region around an extended sub-sea object

such as a sub-sea pipeline.

The alarm behaviour of the unit regarding a Safety Zone and a Hazard Area is

similar but there are differences in terms of the Cancel Alarm time-out and the

behaviour of the Audible Alarms. See Par. 7.2 and 7.4.

NOTE The exact behaviour of the unit is determined by the FishSAFE database. This

manual describes the operation of the FishSAFE unit when used in conjunction

with the database dated September 2009.

4.4 CABLE WIRING DIAGRAM

The FishSAFE unit has two connectors on the rear of the case: Combined Power/

NMEA and GPS Antenna.

The Combined Power/NMEA cable is included in the supplied kit of parts and it is

terminated in bare wires that can be wired to the ship’s power supply and existing

GPS equipment. A full wiring diagram is shown below (see Fig. 4.4).

15

Operations Manual

The GPS Antenna connector is only used if you wish to purchase and use the

optional smart GPS antenna from Jeppesen Marine or similar. The smart GPS

antenna is supplied with a pre-assembled “plug and play” cable that provides

power and data connections to the antenna.

The FishSAFE unit can operate with:

1. External 3

rd

Party GPS connected via the Power/NMEA cable to the

primary GPS input of the FishSAFE unit. This port takes priority over

the other GPS port if valid data is available on both ports.

2. Jeppesen GPS smart antenna connected using the cable supplied with

the antenna to the GPS Antenna connector which is the secondary

GPS input of the FishSAFE unit. The data being received on this port

will only be displayed if there is no valid GPS input on the primary GPS

input.

3. Both an external 3

rd

party GPS and the Jeppesen GPS smart antenna.

In this case priority is given to the position received from the 3

rd

party

GPS, but the unit will automatically switch to the Jeppesen GPS antenna

if a position is not received from the 3

rd

party GPS for 30 seconds.

Setting of these two ports will be completely automatic and they support normal

NMEA 0183 connections i.e. 4800N,8,1.

4.6.1 Maximum/Minimum Activation Speed

The Maximum and Minimum Activation Speeds should be set to appropriate values

for the fishing vessel upon which the unit is being installed. The Minimum Activation

Speed should be set to a value between 0.0 to 4.0 Knots to correspond to the

17

Operations Manual

minimum fishing speed of the vessel. The Maximum Activation Speed should be

set to correspond to the maximum fishing speed of the vessel.

4.6.2 Alarm Radius

The Alarm Radius is the radius of the circular safety sector within the safety

keyhole. It should be set to correspond to the maximum length of the fishing

trawl. Its value can be between 0.5 and 3.0 nautical miles with a default value of

1 nautical mile.

4.6.3 GPS Datum

It is possible to set the Datum reference used by the GPS receiver connected to

the unit so that the unit converts the position received from the GPS to the Map

Datum currently selected in the menu in order to match the position from the GPS

with the position on the charts. WGS 1984 is the default GPS Datum.

4.6.4 Language

To facilitate operation the unit can be set to display the menus, error messages

and short descriptions in a variety of languages. The default setting is English.

4.6.5 Cursor Time-out

This is the time in which the unit reverts to normal operation following a cursor

activated function. It may be set anywhere between 3 and 60 seconds with a

default value of 10 seconds.
