Product description

General description

Introduction

The Simplify monitoring solution is a Cloud-based mobile solution that permits the connection of a number of Sensor Boxes. These Sensor Boxes transmit data (temperature and relative humidity) to the Simplify Dashboard, where data can be accessed via PC, tablet or smart phone.

It is used, e.g., in places affected by water damage or in buildings that need monitoring.

• Simplify transmits data on relative humidity and temperature to the Simplify Dashboard in real time.
• Simplify can send alerts to the user.
• Simplify provides unique documentation in the form of graphs and reports.
• Simplify uses GSM and will always find the strongest GSM signal.
• Simplify works both as a stand-alone system and in combination with Dantherm CDT Dehumidifiers from the MKII series and later.
• A number of Sensor Boxes can be connected to Simplify. However, for best ease of use, we recommend the use of not more than 50 Sensor Boxes.
• Simplify will automatically start the CDT Dehumidifier once the Control Unit has established connection.
• If the 230 V supply to the Control Unit falls, the battery backup kicks in. It can maintain Simplify's normal function for up to 12 hours.
  • The backup battery charges automatically once mains voltage is available again.

NOTE!

To ensure the best range possible, unit aerials should be in a vertical position (or as a minimum all should be in the same position), preferably placed as high as possible on all products.

Simplify uses 868 MHz radio frequency. This frequency ensures a long range, without any impediments between transmitter and receiver. Nevertheless, keep in mind that objects, walls, etc. between transmitter and receiver will reduce the range.
