Quick Installation & Setup

Smart Box is just that simple; provide power.

Our British Research Engineers want to make wireless monitoring easier and what they have set out to do is logical.

Our engineers have developed Smart Box, which combines all the sensors and hardware to allow for the simple matter of switching on the Smart Box to collect data. Whether it’s through a tablet or Smart Logger, data from Smart Box Sensors will automatically communicate and get stored online for your use.

Monitoring, especially with sensors used to be very complex; requiring a Data Logger, cables and sensors. You would individually purchase your data logger and sensors. The logger would be sent with its sensor inputs, manual and software configurations; you would then need to read the manual and learn how the software works. Once familiar with the logger software, you would then need to purchase the sensors.

Once you have the sensors required for your monitoring needs, you would then decide where to place the sensors and how far away the sensors are from the logger. Distance is important as the cable is expensive and affects the calibration process of each sensor. This all sounds complicated and time consuming, because it is. It becomes an even bigger headache once there are masses of sensors with wires everywhere. Spaghetti Junction style mess and it’s not easily portable like the Smart Box.

If you had to relocate a sensor and changed the cable length, your calibrations would be off and your readings incorrect. You would have to spend hours re-calibrating. It’s not Childs Play and that’s why monitoring is relegated to engineers and the technical minded. The Smart Box changes that; the Smart Box is for everybody.
Smart Box Setup time

With the Smart Box, you simply have to place it in the right locations and provide power. We are using industrial wireless communications, which reduces the need for cables and unlike Wi-Fi it has a good range. With the large aerial the Smart Box wireless mesh communications can go distances up to 700 meters line of site,  distance depends on aerial size and obstacles. With a decent aerial, our engineers have had Smart Boxes communicating across a kilometre long lake.

We expect to make the set up even more convenient through battery and solar powered Smart Box versions in the Future.

We have done our best make to make the Smart Boxes as user friendly as possible. Ambient Smart Box Sensors have no cables, but we have not eliminated the cables with probes. If you want a probe sensor this is not a problem, we are reducing the length of the cable and allowing you to place sensors more conveniently with shorter probe cables.

We have a range of Smart Box Sensors with various length probes; if the length you require is not visible; just ask as other customers will also be doing so. We aim to have a huge range of Smart Boxes to meet your requirements. We can’t give you a Smart Box with a variable cable length, as probe cable length effects calibration and sensor accuracy. This would defeat the Plug and Play, Childs Play aspect of the system our engineers created for quick and easy monitoring.

If the probe length is not on our list, don’t hesitate to ask us for it.
