FAQ
What does SunGene need before quoting Battery-Powered Sensor Maintenance?
For a quotation, send these details: Expected battery life; Report and alarm interval; Site access frequency; Temperature and enclosure condition. We use them to select sensors, gateways, power and the data connection.
Can we predict battery life from the reporting interval?
The interval is only one input. Sensor activity, radio coverage, retries, temperature and the selected battery also matter. Request the power information for the exact configuration and check behavior during the pilot.
What should a maintenance visit check?
Check battery status, enclosure seals, mounting and the last received record. Replace consumables according to the selected device instructions and confirm that reporting resumes after service.
What should I check before selecting equipment?
Record these site details: Battery voltage; Reporting interval; Signal strength. Check the sensor output, receiving input, power supply and installation conditions together. Confirm any required approvals for the exact model and destination.
