1.2 Receiving new equipment Always check that the delivery is complete according to the service note. If the order is not complete or if any other errors are discovered, contact AKVA group immediately. AKVA group ASA provides a 1 year warranty covering manufacturer’s defects. The warranty is effective upon date of shipment to original recipient. The following are reasons for a void of warranty: - Poor treatment of the system due to negligence of preventive recommendations or from improper usage of power sources - If the sensor units are opened without express written consent of an AKVA...

1.5 Cable Make sure that the sensor cables are never twirled! Coil them according to instructions in chapter 7. Make sure that the cable is in order, without any tears or damages, when it is connected to power. The cable must not be used if it has any bends, tears or breaks. To make sure that there is no tension to the cable when the sensor is in the water, and to avoid lifting the sensor by its cable, always use lifting ropes, one for each sensor. Instructions for these ropes are found in chapter 5.2. 1.6 Bad weather Always make sure that all of the ropes and all of the equipment are ok...

3 Sensors Controlling environmental data as temperature, oxygen level and current speed are important inputs when feeding fish. In the Akvasmart CCS Feed System, all these factors can be set to automatically control or adjust the feeding amount and its speed. All environmental data will be logged and can be used in further analyses either in AkvaControl or in Fishtalk. Accurate real time measurements are shown and logged in the control program and AkvaControl will calculate expected daily feed amount based on feeding tables and invited sensor data. The system can be wireless and signals are...

3.1 Current sensor Two types of the current sensors: - one measuring currents from 0-50cm/sec - one larger sensor measuring currents from 0-100cm/sec Current sensor, type Measurement range Measuring principle Electronic tilt sensor Electronic tilt sensor Power consumption Amphenol (water proof, Amphenol (water proof, potted plug) potted plug) *Limited by cable length ** Including stainless steel stabiliser weight and cable User manual Akvasmart Sensors

The Akvasmart Current sensor is one of several tools developed for the fish farming industry to optimize feeding and thereby cost benefits. The current sensor is directly connected to the Akvasmart CCS Feeding System, and signals participate in regulating the feeding rate and amount. The sensor also contribute in preventing feed from being carried out from the cage before the fish gets the chance to eat it. Sensors are placed strategically, and maximum current speed for feed termination as well as which cages are controlled by the specific sensor, is programmed. When the current exceeds...

RDO Oxygen Sensor Accuracy: Operating temp.range Measurement range Measuring principle Optical luminescent Power consumption Amphenol (water proof) User manual Akvasmart Sensors

Oxygen sensors are one of several tools developed for the fish farming industry to optimize feeding and thereby the fish farms cost benefits. Oxygen is an important factor for growth and fish welfare. With this sensor connected to the feeding system, feed amount may be stopped when the waters oxygen level is too low. The RDO oxygen sensor is a robust and reliable membrane free sensor whose measurements are based on optical readings. This reduces the need for calibrations, gives high accuracy degree and can be used for long periods without loss of measurement accuracy. Simple, regularly...
