5. Setup and Installation

Proper setup is crucial for the safe and effective operation of the electro fisher. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Prepare the Battery: Ensure you have a 12V DC battery with a capacity above 36A. The battery should be fully charged and in good condition.
2. Position the Device: Place the Susan 1030SMP unit in a stable, well-ventilated location on your boat, away from direct water spray.
3. Connect to Battery: Using the provided power clamps, connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the battery and the black clamp to the negative (-) terminal. Ensure a tight and secure connection.
4. Prepare Electrodes: You will need an insulating fishnet pole with a steel wire or stainless steel landing net ring (diameter about 16cm) for the positive electrode, and a conductive cable with rubber insulation for the negative electrode. The negative electrode should be a steel wire approximately 50cm long and 1cm in diameter.
5. Connect Electrodes to Device: Connect the positive electrode (fishnet pole) to the positive output terminal of the fishing machine. Connect the negative electrode (conductive cable) to the negative output terminal.
6. Deploy Electrodes: The negative electrode should be submerged in the water, typically extending about 50cm below the surface. The positive electrode (net) is used to attract and collect fish. Maintain a safe distance between the electrodes and the boat.

Figure 4: Detailed diagram illustrating the electrofishing setup. This image shows the fishing machine connected to a 12V battery, with an operating switch. The positive electrode is an insulating fishnet pole with a steel wire ring, and the negative electrode is a conductive cable with a 50cm steel wire submerged in water. It indicates fish are attracted to the positive electrode near the surface.

6. Operating Instructions

Once the device is properly set up and all safety precautions are observed, you can begin operation:

1. Power On: Locate the operating switch on the device and turn it to the 'ON' position.
2. Adjust Settings: The Susan 1030SMP features adjustable controls for voltage, frequency, and pulse duration. Start with lower settings and gradually increase as needed, observing the water and fish response. Refer to local regulations and best practices for appropriate settings for your target species and environment.
3. Observe Fish Response: Fish in the electrified field will be temporarily stunned and attracted towards the positive electrode (net).
4. Collection: Use the insulating fishnet pole to safely collect the stunned fish.
5. Power Off: After use, always turn the operating switch to the 'OFF' position before removing electrodes from the water or disconnecting the battery.

Note: The effective range of the device is approximately 3-4 meters. The depth of the water can influence the effectiveness of electrofishing.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your electro fisher:

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the main unit with a dry cloth. Ensure no water or debris enters the ventilation openings.
• Connections: Periodically inspect all electrical connections (battery clamps, electrode terminals) for corrosion or damage. Clean or replace as necessary.
• Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Disconnect it from the battery when not in use for extended periods.
• Battery Care: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your 12V DC battery regarding charging, storage, and maintenance.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Susan 1030SMP, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Device Not Powering On:
  • Check battery connections for tightness and correct polarity.
  • Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged.
  • Verify the operating switch is in the 'ON' position.
• No Output/Weak Output:
  • Inspect electrode connections for security and corrosion.
  • Ensure electrodes are properly submerged in water.
  • Check the adjustable settings (voltage, frequency) on the device.
  • Confirm the battery has adequate charge and capacity.
• Overheating:
  • Ensure the device is in a well-ventilated area and not obstructed.
  • Reduce operating time or lower power settings if continuous operation causes overheating.

If problems persist after attempting these steps, contact Canglan Technology customer support or a qualified technician.
