Operation; Disassembly; Maintenance And Servicing - Bosch Deepfield Connect Original Instructions Manual

Operation

Operation solely requires the preparations specified under
"Commissioning" and "Assembly".
The monitoring station will then work automatically and with-
out requiring maintenance.
You can monitor the state of charge of the battery via the
"measuring stations" tab in the main menu or via the settings
of a field itself. When the state of charge decreases to red, you
will automatically receive a new battery from Deepfield Con-
nect. If you wish to replace the battery but are unable to locate
your spare battery, please get in touch with us.
Measurement and transmission intervals
The measurement and transmission intervals vary depending
on the temperature or humid temperature measured. The
standard interval is one measurement every 10 minutes and
one data transmission every 60 minutes.
You will receive measured values every 10 minutes if the hu-
mid temperature is below 5 °C or the temperature is above
25 °C.
Replacing the battery
