CONFIGURATION

Basic configuration

322482/B
In order to allow the information from the PI Geometry sensor to
be accepted and understood by the PI catch monitoring system,
the PI receiver must be set up correctly. This means that you
must tell the receiver that the sensor exists by entering the
sensor type, communication channels and update rate. For more
detailed information about the settings and parameters, refer to
the relevant operator and/or reference manuals.
Upon delivery, all PI Geometry sensors are set up with factory
default channels and update rates. Refer to the table in section
About sensor configuration on page 20.
Note
The sensor and the PI system setup must correspond, otherwise
the communication will not work. To change the sensor setup
(channel selection and update rate), use the PI Configurator
utility. See PI Configurator on page 22.
Basic settings
• When you put the PI Geometry to use, you must set it up
with one unique sensor number with two measurements.
Only one update rate can be chosen, this is common for both
measurements. The channel numbers are defined individually
for the two measurements. Both the update rate and the
channel numbers must be chosen according to the sensor's
configuration. Write down this configuration for future
reference. For default settings, refer to the table in section
About sensor configuration on page 20.
• If your PI system is fitted with MMI software version 0.50
and DSP software version 1.11.(or later), use the following
recommended receiver settings:
– Interference filter: On
– Interference filter level: 8
– Sensor filter: Light
– Catch/Bottom sensor filter: Light
– AGC: Off
– Manual gain: 20 dB
– Multipath filter: On
– Water profile: Salt
– Detection threshold (DT): 8 dB
– Maximum shooting speed: 1 knot
