Placing a Sensor

NOTE - a sensor will not communicate with the K-Cell until it is placed in a Location on the Site. If you have not yet created any Locations, please do this first. Instructions can be found in Site > Locations.

A confirmation that the sensor is now placed will appear at the top of the screen, and the Sensors list location will update.

Sensor placed

The sensor's information will now syncronise with the site's K-Cell. Depending on the frequency agreed for data backhauls, it may take up to 2 hours for your first sensor reading to be displayed on the Dashboard or Analysis pages.

Moving or deleting a Sensor

To move or delete a sensor, click the Edit icon underneath the Operations column.

Edit sensor

Here, you will be able to see a summary of the selected sensor including device details, location, and advanced configuration options. (NOTE - moving or deleting a sensor will clear its historical data from the graph views).Select the Edit icon again next to Location. This can be used to move or change the depth of the sensor.
