An example: C1 displays 1778gram, while correct weight is 2,12kg C2 displays 2033gram, while correct weight is 1,49kg If weight factor for both channels was set to 1000, the equation for the new weight factor is: Weight factor = (Correct weight in gram) * 1000 / (displayed weight in gram) For C1: Weight factor = 2120 * 1000 / 1778 = 1192 For C2: Weight factor = 1490 * 1000 / 2033 = 733 If previous weight factor for C1 was set to 1100 and for C2 to 1050 the equation is:...

AquaScan General directions version: 1.6 Model: CSE-series Electrical connection/disconnection Avoid water at the contact pins of the connectors whenever the Registration Units are connected to the Control Unit, and when powering the system.

Arrangement: The Registration Unit must be installed ° in a 90 vertical position. ° The whole assembly (Registration Unit and pipes) should be tilted forward to a suitable angle (min. 25 degrees) to assure steady flow (approx. 2,5-3 meter/second) through the counter. (The Control Unit can view the average speed of the fish in the Result Menu when the counting is stopped).
Maintenance/Checklist: To achieve the best counting result, be content with the maintenance of the counter. The units should always be cleaned after use. Follow also this checklist before every use of the counter: Use a moist cloth to clean the transparent pipe in the counter. Open the inspection-hatch and check that everything is clean: window in front of lenses, transparent pipe and the light source.
Memory: Although the power is removed, the counter will memorize the last calculated number and average size for each channel. This is saved until you perform a new counting operation on the particular channel. (Example: The power accidentally disappears when you are performing a counting operation. When the power is applied again you can continue the counting process from where it left;...
Changing parameters: The Control Unit uses several software parameters to control the counting. Depending on your specific installation an operation of the system, some of these parameters may need to be adjusted by the operator. When the Control Unit asks for Weight for the first connected Registration Unit, it will accept special commands.
