1.1 Limitations in use/performance with other specific components
Main components
Component | Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|
Cage type: | (2).png?version=1&modificationDate=1687513209497&cacheVersion=1&api=v2) Conflict between the top bracket fixture and the handrail post. | Use stainless ratchet straps or rope to tie the top part of the bracket to the pole. |
Extra equipment
Component | Problem | Solution / Løsning |
|---|---|---|
Aeration devices that makes airbubbles inside the cage. Sold under names like(Midt-Norsk ring, Turbolift etc) | The echosounder picks up the bubbles and it creates a noisy image of the fish. | Echosounders are not compatible with aeration devices. |
Aside from these components, the equipment is compatible with any other component that is not directly interfering with it. It is compatible with predator nets.
1.2 Cage requirements

2 Power Requirements
2.1 Power at barge
The CageEye system requires 2 kW 2kW @ 230V 50hz at the barge.
The system complies with the international EMC standards: IEC/EN 60950-1
...
, IEC/EN 61000-3-3
...
, IEC/EN 61000-6-1
...
and IEC/EN 61000-6-3.
A ground fault circuit interrupter must be used.
In case of power source problems such as noise, spikes, brownouts and blackouts, an Online a UPS system needs to be installed to accommodate continuous power stability and availability.
| Info |
|---|
What happens if the requirement is not met: Service stops as soon as the power to the server and antenna is broken. This is mitigated by using a UPS(battery). |
2.2 Power at cage
Estimated continuous power requirements for all sensor devices in cage: 60 W.
The CageEye system requires 60 W @ 230V 50hz outlet at the cage. The power supply must have a 16A fuse.
Estimated continuous power requirements for all sensor devices in cage: 60 W
Estimated maximum power consumption in the future 500 WC16A or a D16A circuit breaker. A ground fault circuit interrupter must be used.
| Info |
|---|
What happens if the requirement is not met: Service stops as soon as the power is interrupted. This is mitigated by using a UPS(battery). |

CageEye uses two operating models. Customer managed network, and unmanged network.
3.1 Unmanaged networks
CageEye will install a server on the barge that needs to be on the same network as the feeding systems and the feeding cameras. Remote connections to operations centers can be set up in cooperation with the customers technical staff. CageEye needs to use radios to communicate with the sensors on the cages.

2 Managed networks
For a detailed requirements for operating in customer managed networks see this page. [Private]https://bluegrove.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TRB/pages/1305903173/Bluegrove+Cybersecurity+practices#Operating-in-customer-managed-networks. Ask a CageEye representative to get access to this page.
3.3 Optional: Cage to barge network with radio.
If no cage to barge network is available, CageEye can set up a cage to barge network with radio. We typically use the 5GHz band. We use Ubiquity Rocket AC on the barge, and Ubiquity Bullet AC on the cage.
We configure the radio to use given frequencies between 5190-5940 GHz, alternatively the radio can be configured to automatically seek out new frequencies detects interference.
