How to use the sensors

Once the sensors have been coded and installed on the net, they
will automatically be switched on once they are submerged into
water. The PI44 will then automatically retreive information
from them, and provided that you have chosen the correct
display presentation, the information will be provided to you.

Applications

The various applications available to you with the different
sensors are explained in the

Getting started

and

Applications

chapters.

Display presentation

How to set up the display to see the information provided by the
sensors are described in the

Getting started

chapters. The

various modes are explained in detail in the

Display modes

chapter.

Practical information

The practical information about the various sensors is provided
in the

Sensors

chapter, and the same information can also be

found on the

Quick Reference Guide

for each sensor.
