How much work is it to install a Reporter?
The mounting and startup of a Reporter takes only a few minutes. You only need to sign in to the Crodeon Dashboard and connect the sensors. The Dashboard will allow you to activate Reporter within minutes. The Crodeon Dashboard also allows you to configure settings such as the measurement interval and alarm thresholds.
Reporter is there to help you save time, not waste it. This is why Crodeon makes sure that the startup and activation goes fast and smooth. As a customer you should not worry about software, connectivity and hosting.
Should you provide a wifi network?
No. Reporter has an industrial simcard on board to connect to the internet using a cellular connection (NB-IoT, Cat-M and 2G). This means you don’t need wifi or ethernet. The simcard is pre-installed and activated by Crodeon so you don’t need to look after a mobile subscription.
Can you use Reporter outside?
Reporter is IP67 waterproof and can therefore be used in all weather conditions. There is no need to provide an enclosure or additional protection. The device is designed to always be instantly usable out-of-the-box, indoor as well as outdoor.
Can Reporter also work on solar power?
Sure. For applications in remote areas or for example in agriculture, Crodeon can supply a 10W solar panel (dimensions: 35cm x 30cm). This way, Reporter has everything on board to charge during the day and easily survive multiple nights with low sunlight, even when operating at a high measurement frequency, all year long.
What if Reporter or a sensor fails to operate?
A unique aspect of our technology is the fact that we as a manufacturer monitor the health of every device, sensor and even the connection. If any of these stop working, the customer is notified within 24 hours. This means you don’t have to check the Dashboard manually for measurements, nor do you need a separate monitoring system to guard your Reporter. Crodeon automates these controls so we can offer them on a large scale, without extra cost.
Is there an app to view the data on a smartphone?
The Crodeon Dashboard is a web-app that is perfectly displayed on smartphones, tablets and PCs. By following these instructions, you can add the Crodeon Dashboard as an app on the home screen. This way you’ll have direct access to the latest data from your Reporter with a single tap on the Crodeon icon.
What is the maximum distance between Reporter and its sensor(s)?
The maximum sensor cable length is 30m. You can achieve this by using cable extension cords that are available in 5m, 10m, and 20m.
