Normal ranges up to 1500 meters: If you experience poor reception with the sensors in the sea, try to increase the detection threshold until the data reception appears completely random. Then, decrease the parameter until you have stable data reception. If you have interference problems while no sensors have been deployed, try to decrease the detection threshold until you have a stable data reception. c Long ranges above 1500 meters: Initially, use the same strategy as for normal range. However, if those actions are not enough to provide stable readings, try to set the detection threshold to 8. If your vessel's self noise and interference is lower than normal, you may achieve a range enhancement by using this value. If interference cause problems, try to increase the detection threshold value until the interference disappears. 6 Click OK to save the current settings and close the dialog. 100 328458/A Operational procedures Alarms and messages Topics · How to read and acknowledge alarms and messages on page 101 · How to set up sensor alarms on page 101 · How to access the log files on page 102 How to read and acknowledge alarms and messages Messages could be related to any type of hardware or software error, and even events related to operational conditions. b Click to enable message and/or audio notification To disable all alarms, remove all Message and Audio selections.
