Using the Virtual Charger Room

You can configure the latest generation of sensors from Scala2 Virtual Charger Room when they are connected to the Dock.

Note: A1 sensors displayed in the Virtual Charger Room do not have all the following features. A1 sensor tiles will only inform if the sensor is trawling or on deck (turned off).
Note: The Virtual Charger Room is compatible with single, twin, triple, quad and penta trawls.

Main page

To open the Virtual Charger Room, click Menu > Virtual Charger Room on the top left corner of the screen.

Each sensor that is part of the fleet appears on a tile. The tiles are placed according to the sensor location on the trawl, depending on the configuration that was made in the system configuration page.

To fit the view according to the width of the tiles click , or click to fit according the height.

When a sensor that has not been added to the system is connected to the Dock, it is displayed underneath the other sensors (1). Only the charging status appears. A notification (2) also warns the user that the sensor is not part of the system configuration. When disconnected, the sensor is not displayed anymore.

Note: A1 sensors will not be displayed.

Each sensor tile is composed the following way:
1. Node identifying the location of the sensor on the trawl.

Notifications

When a sensor is connected to the Dock, the Virtual Charger Room is able to detect discrepancies between the system configuration and the sensor configuration. Notifications appear at the bottom of the page if the connected sensor is not part of the system configuration or if the sensor settings do not match the settings set in the system (based on the node).

The following settings are checked:
  • Uplink frequency
  • Sounding mode (when available)
  • Sounding range (when available)
  • PRP sensors: telegram names and frequencies
