Synchronised Intense Light and Sound (SILAS)
The SILAS system synchronises the pulse of a High Intensity Light with a signal from an acoustic system to provide an enhanced deflection stimulus, suitable for a wide variety of fish species. As well as enhancing the deflection effect for the majority of fish species, the High Intensity Lights of a SILAS system provides the added advantage of deflecting eels, which are not sensitive to acoustic systems. The SILAS technology can be provided both small scale applications by combining FGS’s High Intensity Light Bars.
For large scale applications FGS’s High Intensity Light Bars are combined with sound projectors, which contain specially designed amplification and monitoring modules with bespoke software. These, combined with additional power and communication hubs that connect to a number of sound projectors, are used to provide the required synchronised signal.
The control equipment incorporates additional bespoke software, tailored to an individual intake and client’s requirements, and this is used to operate the system as well as monitor the status of all the individual components. When required the system can be operated and monitored remotely via an internet link, and an additional feature enables regulators to review the status of a system to confirm it is operating correctly.
If internet access is available, we are able to provide a monitoring service to ensure that faults are identified immediately and can work with the client to provide support as and when required, whether as part of a routine maintenance programme, or by providing emergency support.
