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 Mosa2.

Notice: Do not set the uplink power of a Seine Explorer above 1000 / 32% or the sensor may be damaged.
Tip: You can watch this short video, explaining the benefit of changing the power of the uplink signal.

Procedure

  1. From Mosa2, click the tab General.
  2. From Uplink Power Adjustment Level, choose the uplink power (values in percentage are for Mosa version 01.02.00 and later):
Sensor Recommended Uplink Powers Conditions Estimated Battery Life
Seine Explorer 600 / 19%

Works for most conditions.

 20-24 hours
1000 / 32% (max.)
  • When seine is big (diameter is more than 600 m).
  • High level of interference
  • Issues receiving data
  • Low SNR
 11-15 hours
Seine sensor with depth 1800 / 43%

Works for most conditions.

 approx. 744 hours (31 days)
4095 / 100%
  • Sensor is far from vessel (e.g. more than 800 m depending on conditions, high depth)
  • High level of interferences
  • Issues receiving data
  • Low SNR
 The more you increase the uplink power, the shorter the battery life becomes.
Seine sensor with depth and temperature 1800 / 43%

Works for most conditions.

 approx. 650 hours (27 days)
4095 / 100%
  • Sensor is far from vessel (e.g. more than 800 m depending on conditions, high depth)
  • High level of interferences
  • Issues receiving data
  • Low SNR
 The more you increase the uplink power, the shorter the battery life becomes.
Seine sensor with depth, height and temperature 1800 / 43%

Works for most conditions.

 approx. 650 hours (27 days)
4095 / 100%
  • Sensor is far from vessel (e.g. more than 800 m depending on conditions, high depth)
  • High level of interferences
  • Issues receiving data
  • Low SNR
 The more you increase the uplink power, the shorter the battery life becomes.
Note: The average battery life also depends on the uplink frequency, sounding range and options activated.
