Planning placement of equipment in/on cage
- Gøran Pedersen Krangsås
Step 3.1 – Cage Availability & Power Supply
Potential Conflicts with Existing Equipment
Before installation, check if there is already equipment in the cage that could interfere with our setup.
For example, if a camera system is already in place, we recommend mounting our Duo Sensors in parallel to avoid conflicts. This may also influence the ideal placement of the Cage Cabinet.
Other equipment to consider:
Feeding pipes
Lights
Cleaning fish hide areas
Lift-up systems
Other sensors or instrumentation
Blue cabinet: Cage Power supply
Black cabinet: CageEye cabinet
Orange cable: CageEye 25m power cable
Yellow floater: CageEye Duo Sensors
Yellow faded Cabinet: Camera cabinet
Environmental Factors
Strong currents can affect positioning and stability. Take this into account when planning the layout.
Availability on the Cage Structure
Make sure there is available space on the vertical posts. These are often already in use for:
Cameras
Power cabinets
Other sensors
Net supports
Bird netting
Dead fish collection tanks
Ensure each cage has sufficient mounting space for our equipment.
3.2 Power Supply to the Cage Cabinet
Our standard power cable length is 25 meters.
Check the distance to the customer's power supply cabinet on each cage. Confirm that 25 meters (in either direction) is enough to reach your intended Cage Cabinet location.
