ColorTrap device to see how your crop was growing and developing
from seeding to harvesting. For more details see help in slideshow sec-
tion on ng.fieldclimate.com.
INSECT DETECTION TOOL
Insect detection tool automatically detects and counts all insects marked
with rectangles. Thicker rectangles mark the new insects the system de-
tected, based on the previous image.
You can edit the drawn rectangles on the image – change size, remove or
add new rectangles.
Select the rectangle and label/mark the insect accordingly.
Remember to save at the end. You can also export the image.
On STATION SETTINGS page set up your iMETOS device.
Station settings > Configuration: Ensure that Time zone and location are
properly set. You need to set them up manually, for the station to take and
send photos at the time in your time zone. Under Transfer settings, you
can define how your iMETOS device sends data. Note that the settings for
logging interval and transmission times will work with the default values
as long it is not changed.
Setup how your iMETOS iSCOUT Color Trap® sends the data. Note that
taking and sending pictures consumes a lot of data and energy, which is
why a limitation of three pictures per day is set.
Under Camera, you can setup camera settings. Note that wrong settings
can result in corrupted images. Change these settings only if you are
an expert.

MAINTAINING THE iMETOS iSCOUT® Color Trap
Replace the sticky plate when it is full. The frequency depends on the
pest pressure.
When the solar panel of the iMETOS device is exposed to the sun and
gets enough sunlight it should constantly recharge the battery of the
system. The lifespan of the battery is expected to be 5 to 6 years with
sufficient recharging from the solar panel. Deep discharge shortens its
lifetime. The iMETOS will prevent this to happen and protect the battery
by limiting the data transfer to the safe level of charge. In doing so, data
is not lost and battery recovers faster. Please make sure to clean the
solar panel if it is dirty or covered with snow or some other material.
Note: When the season is over, remove the device from the field, dis-
connect the solar panel and the battery to avoid discharge and store it
indoors until the next season.
UPDATING YOUR iMETOS iSCOUT® Color Trap
Every time the iMETOS iSCOUT® Color Trap connects to FieldClimate,
it checks for the latest firmware version. If it finds a newer version, it
automatically downloads it and updates itself. iMETOS iSCOUT® Color
Trap can also be updated manually via the USB connection.
