Procedure
1 Open the
Setup
menu.
2 On the
Setup
menu, select
Installation
.
Observe that the
Installation
dialog box opens.
3 At the bottom of the
Sensor list
page, select
Add New Sensor
.
The
Add New Sensor
dialog box opens.
4 Select
Yes
.
5 In the
PX Sensor Configurator
dialog box, select communication port and sensor type,
then select
Connect
.
6 At the top of the dialog box, select SR15 or SR70 Receiver unit.
7 In the trawl illustration, select the location of the sensor on the trawl.
8 Select the direction the sensor is going to point to, either to the vessel or to the trawl.
9 Choose the measurements you want the sensor to make and define the relevant
parameters. For more information about the different parameters, see
Main PX Sensors
configuration parameters, page 264 and Overview of sensors channels and frequencies,
page 269 .
By default, PX MultiSensor mk2, PX Universal, and PX MultiCatch sensors can send
2 measurements. When interfacing a SR type receiver unit, a PX Family sensor can
send up to five measurements. Additional measurements (up to 3) can be added. If you
wish to make more than two measurements with your sensor, an additional license is
required. Remote functions are not considered a measurement.
10 Choose the communication channel.
This is specially important if you wish to use several sensors to operate on different
communication channels. This is also important to avoid interference if several vessels
equipped with identical catch monitoring systems are operating simultaneously in
the same area. For more details, see
Overview of sensors channels and frequencies,
page 269
11 Calibrate the sensor.
When a PX MultiSensor is mounted on a trawl door, the pitch and roll measurements
must be calibrated. See
Performing a first time calibration of the roll and pitch
measurements of a PX MultiSensor, page 128
12 Select
Program Sensor
.
The currently selected parameters are “sent” to the sensor.
