Product catalog summary
Safety
Safety is emphasized as a top priority in the development of AKVA group ASA products and manuals. Users and personnel should thoroughly read the manual, especially the safety chapter, to ensure personal safety and prevent equipment damage. Key safety symbols include alerts, notices, and warnings for potential equipment damage or mild injuries.
Receiving New Equipment
Upon receiving new equipment, verify the delivery against the service note and contact AKVA group for any discrepancies. The equipment includes a one-year warranty for manufacturer defects, effective from the shipment date. The warranty is void if preventive recommendations are neglected or if sensor units are opened without authorization.
Plug Caps and Disinfection
Plug caps should be kept safe and replaced immediately after equipment removal to prevent moisture and saltwater damage. Equipment should be disinfected when moving between sites to prevent contamination, followed by a rinse with fresh water to avoid corrosion.
Cable Handling
Ensure sensor cables are not twisted and are coiled as instructed. Check cables for damage before connecting to power, and use lifting ropes for sensors to avoid cable tension.
Bad Weather Precautions
Inspect all equipment and ropes after storms to ensure they are intact and undamaged. Report any issues to AKVA immediately.
Introduction
This manual accompanies AKVAsmart sensors and should be preserved for the equipment's lifespan. AKVA group ASA is a leading supplier of aquaculture equipment, focusing on sustainable farming through continuous product development. The manual provides guidance for safe and economical operation of Akvasmart Sensors.
Sensors
Akvasmart sensors measure environmental data like temperature, oxygen levels, and current speed, crucial for optimizing fish feeding. The system can be wireless, with data logged for analysis in AkvaControl or Fishtalk. Correct feeding, aided by these sensors, is essential for optimal fish growth and feed efficiency.
Current Sensor
Two types of current sensors measure currents up to 50 cm/sec and 100 cm/sec, respectively. They are crucial for regulating feeding rates and preventing feed wastage. The sensors have no moving parts, ensuring longevity and minimal maintenance.
Oxygen Sensors
The RDO Oxygen Sensor measures oxygen levels with high accuracy and operates within a temperature range of 0-50°C. It uses an optical luminescent measuring principle and is designed for depths up to 210m, limited by cable length.
Oxygen Sensor Specifications
The RDO oxygen sensor is membrane-free, utilizing optical readings for high accuracy and reduced calibration needs. It operates effectively in stationary water and stores measurement data for up to a year in a replaceable cap tip. The cap has a 12-month expiration, requiring a new user code (AKVA part no. 10000855) upon expiration.
Temperature Sensor Specifications
The temperature sensor has a resolution of +/- 0.1°C and an accuracy of +/- 0.5°C, with a measurement range of 0-50°C. It is housed in machined bronze, which minimizes maintenance and provides quick response to temperature changes. The sensor can be connected to various systems for real-time monitoring and data logging.
Installation and Suspension
Proper installation involves securing sensor cables to ropes to prevent tension and marking depths with waterproof markers. Specific instructions are provided for attaching weights and ensuring secure connections.
Power Supply
Sensors are powered through connections to CSU or EAP systems. It is crucial to maintain the integrity of plug caps and connections to ensure proper operation.
Handling and Maintenance
Sensor cables should be coiled without twirling to prevent damage. Regular cleaning and inspection are recommended, especially during warmer seasons. A detailed maintenance plan outlines daily, weekly, and monthly tasks to ensure sensor longevity and accuracy.
Maintenance Plan
The document provides a structured maintenance schedule, including daily checks for cable and rope integrity, weekly cleaning, and monthly inspections for corrosion and cable wear. Maintenance forms should be copied and filled out regularly to track sensor upkeep.
Appendices
The manual includes an index, deviation form for reporting issues, and space for additional notes.

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 after...

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 this...
