Diverter Gate
The R-Series Diverter Gate attaches to the rear of the R-Series Detector and
works in conjunction with it. Its main components are one upper and one lower
"beak" for mechanical support, two latching gate doors, an Electronics Box, and
a Counter with sensors. The gate doors are arranged so that fish are diverted to
one side or the other depending on which door is unlatched. One gate door is
normally latched when there is not a CWT signal and the other is normally
unlatched; the latched side is selected by the user using a toggle switch.
Untagged fish sliding out of the R-Series Detector will push open the unlatched
door and be diverted to that side by the latched door. If the Detector identifies a
fish moving through the R-Series Detector as containing a Coded Wire Tag
(CWT), then the Detector sends a signal to the Diverter Gate through the
Detector's electronics connector on the rear panel. This signal toggles the
Diverter Gate latch so that the fish is diverted to the other side. After an
adjustable period of time of approximately 1 second, the Diverter Gate returns to
its previous state, ready for another fish.
The R-Series Diverter Gate can be powered by either a 12-volt sealed-lead-acid
battery or by an NMT power supply that plugs into a standard 120 VAC outlet.
