Marport Catch Sensor - Configuring the Uplink Power

Catch Sensors | V1 | Sensor Configuration
Configuring the Uplink Power
You can increase the uplink power of the sensor to increase the power of the signal
transmitted. It is useful if you have interferences or if the sensor is far from the vessel.
Before you begin
The sensor is connected to Mosa.
Procedure
1.
From Mosa, click the tab General.
2.
From Uplink Power Adjustment Level, choose the uplink power (percentage is for
Mosa 01.02.00 version and above):
