FAQ
What does SunGene need before quoting Cold Room Temperature Excursion?
For a quotation, send these details: Temperature range and accuracy; Room count and wall material; Alarm recipients; Calibration or certificate expectation. We use them to select sensors, gateways, power and the data connection.
Where should the temperature probe be placed?
Choose a point that represents the stored goods and note doors, evaporators and direct airflow. Check the probe range and calibration requirements, then compare its reading with a reference during installation.
How do we avoid treating every door opening as an emergency?
Agree the temperature limit and allowed duration with the person responsible for storage. Test door-opening and recovery conditions before enabling escalation, keeping the original readings available for review.
What should I check before selecting equipment?
Record these site details: Temperature and humidity; Door open status; Power failure or offline state. Check the sensor output, receiving input, power supply and installation conditions together. Confirm any required approvals for the exact model and destination.
