DEVICE SETUP OPTIONS

• Option 1: Using a Mobile App
  Download the App from www.ubibot.com/setup, or search for ‘Ubibot’ on the AppStore or Google Play.

• Option 2: Using PC Tools
  Download the tool from www.ubibot.com/setup.
  This Tool is a desktop app for device setup. It is also helpful in checking setup failure reasons, MAC address, and offline charts. You can also use it to export offline data stored in the device internal memory.

Via our app and web console (http://console.ubibot.com), you are able to view the readings as well as config-ure your device, such as create alert rules, set data syncinterval, etc. You can find and watch the demonstration videos at www.ubibot.com/setup.

**SETUP USING THE APP FOR MOBILE NETWORK ***
Before you set up the device on mobile data, please check the APN information of the SIM card used for the UbiBot device.
An APN (Access Point Name) provides the details your device needs to connect to mobile data through your network operator. APN details differ by network and you will need to get these from your network operator.
With the device off, insert the SIM card as indicated in the picture. Launch the app and log in. Tap the “+” to start seng up the device. Please follow the in-app instructions to complete the setup process. Please note, the setup will fail if you don’t have data allowance.

SETUP USING PC TOOLS

1. STEP 1:  Launch the App and log in. With the device switched on, use the Type-C USB cable provided to connect your device to the computer. The PC Tools will automatically scan and recognize the  product ID and enter the device page.
2. STEP 2:  Click “Network” on the left menu bar. There, you are able to set up the device on WiFi for all the network models. For the SIM or Ethernet cable setup, please click on the corresponding button to continue.

RS485 COMMUNICATION
The RS485 communication function can be set through the platform. When it is turned on, the sensor will collect data every will be uploaded via RS485 after each data collection. The default is off. For more details, please contact your local distributor or online document.

DEVICE SPECIFICATIONS

FAQ

Device network configuration failure reasons

1. Please check whether the WiFi account password is correct;
2. Please check whether the router is working properly and the network connection is normal;
3. Please make sure the device has entered the WiFi configuration mode;
4. Please check whether the WiFi band is 2.4GHz and the channel is between 1~13;
5. Please check the WiFi channel width is set to 20MHz or auto mode;
6. WiFi security type: LD1 supports OPEN, WEP and WPA/WPA2-personal;
7. Poor signal strength, please check the WiFi or cell phone data traffic signal strength.

Reasons for failure to send device data

1. Check whether the external power supply of the device is properly connected;
2. Check whether the router is working properly;
3. If using the mobile data traffic provided by the SIM card inside the device, you need to check whether the SIM card is activated; if the SIM card is activated, check whether the power supply of the device is normal; also check whether the amount of the mobile data traffic provided by the device SIM card is sufficient for the data transfer.

Can the device be used in a network-free environment?
The device can still work without a network, if you need to check the historical data, you can refer to the following methods:

1. After monitoring in no network working environment, you can take it back to the previously configured WiFi environment or insert the SIM card and press the configuration button once to upload the data automatically;
2. In the case of no network, connect to the computer through the USB cable, and export the data through the PC tool.

Deviation in temperature values after first configuration of equipment?

1. The device has been configured for too long and the CPU working temperature is high;
2. The device sends data too frequently, resulting in a temperature higher than 0.2~0.3℃;
3. Turn on the TVOC sensor or PM, CO2 and other sensors to collect too often will produce a certain tempera- ture rise.

Only part of the data is displayed on the platform after the equipment has been successfully connected to the network?
Different sensors require different acquisition times. You need to click the Configuration button to upload manually, or wait for automatic uploading before all data is displayed.

The difference between CO2 and eCO2.
Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a chemical compound made up of molecules that each have one carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It is found in the gas state at room temperature, and as the source of available carbon in the carbon cycle.

Equivalent CO2 (eCO2), also known as Global Warming Potential weighted greenhouse gas emissions (GWP), is a unit, that allows emissions of greenhouse gases of different strengths to be added together. eCO2 is estimat- ed concentration of carbon dioxide calculated from known TVOC concentration.
