Best Practices

1. Proper distance between sensors and receivers: Sensors should be placed less than 15 meters from the receivers. It is also recommended to position receivers in high areas to improve connectivity.
   
   

1. Horizontal placement of sensors: Sensors should be mounted horizontally and at an average height within the cold storage chambers.
   
   

2. Avoid direct cold exposure: Place the sensors away from direct airflow from the refrigeration systems, as direct cold can distort readings and affect data accuracy.

   Check before final installation: Before permanently attaching the sensors, ensure they are properly connected and transmitting data to the platform. This helps avoid the need to remove and reposition them.

   Secure and clean adhesion: Sensors should be mounted using the provided double-sided adhesive. The surface where the sensor is placed must be completely clean and dry. Cleaning the area with alcohol is a recommended best practice.
   
   

Worst Practices

1. Avoid placing sensors near frequently opened doors:
   Installing sensors in areas where cold room doors are constantly being opened and closed can cause sudden temperature changes, triggering false alerts and compromising proper system control.

2. Exposure to moisture or wet areas: Avoid placing sensors in areas exposed to water splashes or humidity. This can distort temperature readings and may damage the sensors over time.
   

3. Ignoring sensor orientation: Disregarding the recommendation to mount sensors horizontally may impact their performance. Incorrect orientation can lead to condensation buildup, affecting both durability and accuracy.
   

4. Avoid high-traffic product zones: Make sure sensors are not placed in areas with frequent product movement, as this increases the risk of accidental impacts that can damage the devices.
   

5. Avoid placing sensors in areas with ice buildup.
