Advantages of Fumunda Pingers

Replaceable Batteries

Because time and labour plays a significant role in commercial fishing, we designed the Fumunda Pinger with a replaceable battery to reduce downtime and further increase your costs savings.

Meets Regulations

Fumunda Pingers meet both the European Union EC code 812/2004 and the USA NMFS regulations.

Light

Fumunda Pingers are the lightest, smallest and most durable Pingers available in the market today.

Design

The compact size and weight, 210g (less than half the weight of most competitor products) ensures Fumunda Pingers do not 'sink' or collapse nets when fishing.

Because they are light weight, Fumunda Pingers have the least effect on net shape and fish better than competitor products.

Durable

The outer casing is made of incredibly durable and slippery co polymer (often used for anchor chain rollers on commercial boats).

Our CNC machined Pingers will endure years of extreme on board conditions.

Micron-perfect Construction

Fumunda's unique manufacturing process uses CNC (computer numeric control) machines to 'cut' our Pinger cases from solid co polymer rod.

These methods are vastly inferior to CNC machining in terms of both strength and durability. Other Pinger manufacturers use injection moulded or cast chassis.

Designed for Extreme Conditions

The electronics are 'potted' in epoxy resin to protect the electronics from intense shock and impact resulting in excellent reliability.

No need for Testing Equipment

The operational frequency and pressure level of 10 kHz and 132 dB is audible to most humans. No more purchasing additional testing equipment, which is necessary with many of our competitor products.

When Fumunda Pingers are removed from the water they continue to 'ping' for two minutes before they turn off, so fishermen and observers can easily confirm operational status.

Audibility also makes an observer's job much less likely to interfere with fishing operations.

Lanyard Design

Fumunda's lanyard design allows for Pingers to be served to float or headlines. This eliminates the unsafe practice of removing and replacing Pingers during setting and hauling operations.
