How to install & connect your temperature monitoring hardware

All of your temperature monitoring hardware (sensors & gateways) comes pre-configured and pre-labelled following the information you have shared with your Operandio Account Manager.

How to install a Cellular Gateway

  1. The first thing you need to do is identify where in your facility you will be installing your cellular gateway.
  2. The gateway should ideally be installed within 300 meters / 328 yards of all the sensors that will be connected to it.
  3. The cellular gateway should be installed somewhere central and out of the way, it also needs a clear 4G or 5G connection (you can test on your cell phone to see if the planned spot has decent connectivity.) It also needs an available power outlet.
  4. Plug in the gateway to the power source and turn it on.

How to install your temperature/humidity sensors

  1. Your sensors come pre-labelled and pre-configured based on the information you have shared with your Operandio Account Manager.
  2. Sensors should be installed within 300 meters / 328 yards of the gateway.
  3. Before installing your sensor, you need to turn it on. Hold down the button on the front for 5-8 seconds. The sensor will flash green a couple of times, then red. That means the sensor is turned on.
  4. When installing the sensor, you can use either double sided tape, or the provided zip ties to tightly secure the sensor - it should be placed away from direct air flow and doors inside the fridge/freezer. Underneath or on the side of a rack is a great spot.
  5. You should see data coming through onto your Sensors Dashboard in Operandio within ~20 minutes (the sensors are set to log temperature every 20 minutes by default - this can be changed later if you wish.
