1. Introduction to CleanFLEX CleanFLEX is a smart ultrasonic fill-level sensor that can be easily installed on any type of container. It uses robust ultrasonic technology, allowing it to monitor any type of substance. CleanFLEX measures bin fill-level, monitors bin status, and sends real-time data to CleanCityNetworks (CCN).
1.1.2 Optional with CleanFLEX In certain cases, optional items (e.g. brackets) are required for installing CleanFLEX inside a waste container. These items are customized to fit your waste containers and must be ordered separately. Before ordering these items separately, you must provide information about height, width, volume, and material of your waste container.
It is complementary to CleanCUBE and can be installed in areas not feasible for CleanCUBE ˙ installations. Data from CleanFLEX can be viewed on the same software solution that displays data from ˙ CleanCUBE. Provides accurate sensing with ultrasonic technology.
2. Installing CleanFLEX CleanFLEX can be installed on either under the lid or the inside of waste containers. If the installation is for a waste container with a lid, CleanFLEX should be mounted under the lid. If the installation is for a waste container without a lid, CleanFLEX should be mounted on the inside of the waste container.
Take the following steps to install CleanFLEX under the lid or inside the bin. 1. On the surface where CleanFLEX is to be installed, find the spot that is center of the bin base from where the measurements will be made. Use stencil to mark the location of the hole.

4. Make sure the sensor is facing and centered on the base of the bin. 5. Adjust the angle of the ultrasonic sensor if necessary. 6. Make sure CleanFLEX is securely installed. If the installing surface is too thick, use long M6 torx bolts to secure CleanFLEX. CleanFLEX installation and Activation - 9 -...
Power is OFF. B. If the LED light flashes 1 second after magnet is placed on the indent: Power is 2. Remove the magnet after the LED light turns ON or flashes so that CleanFLEX returns to its current ON/OFF status.

CleanFLEX is ON. 7. For 1 minute, there will be no LED indication while CleanFLEX sets up communication. 8. After 1 minute, the LED light will flash once every 3 seconds until CleanFLEX is connected to the server. 9. LED light will flash rapidly 5 times if CleanFLEX is successfully connected.
3.3 Turning CleanFLEX OFF Take the following steps to turn CleanFLEX OFF. Place the magnet on the detector. After placing the magnet on the detector for 1 second, the LED light will flash 1 time. After another second, LED light will flash 2 times.

Device is now turned OFF. Avoid performing any procedures within ten minutes after turning CleanFLEX OFF. If the user fails to perform the correct procedure while turning CleanFLEX OFF, CleanFLEX will return to its previous ON status. CleanFLEX installation and Activation...
These dimensions are essential in creating bin profile for CleanFLEX on the CCN interface for receiving accurate sensor data from CleanFLEX. If you fail to create bin profile for CleanFLEX on CCN interface using these dimensions, then CleanFLEX is set to default bin CleanCityNetworks profile, which may lead to inaccurate measurement data.

The liner bag must be pushed completely to the sides of the bin. If the liner bag is folded at the center of the bin, then it leads to inaccurate measurement data. After the liner bag is placed in the bin, ensure the inside of the bin looks as illustrated below. CleanFLEX installation and Activation - 15 -...
4. Bin profile is not placed properly, refer to “ ” and place the bag correctly. Also check whether the ultrasonic sensor is physically damaged. In case of damage, contact Ecube Labs or point of purchase. 5.2 Telecommunication and Battery issues...
