Sensor Stopped Transmitting
If a sensor has stopped transmitting it may be due to the reception or antenna connection. Please use the following steps to troubleshoot.
- Confirm that the antenna and cable isn’t damaged - inspect the length of the cable for any signs of rodent damage
- Use the BLE Scanner under 'More' > 'Sensor Tools' > 'BLE Scanner' within the CropX App to see if the sensor is powered. The sensor should be detected by your mobile device and seen in the list.
- Loosen and re-tighten Antenna cable and antenna connections making sure the cap is seated fully around the antenna connection in order to thread the connection completely
Ensure the antenna is raised as high as possible
Run Diagnostics to trigger a new measurement and transmission test
If this fails then, perform these steps in order
Download data with your mobile device via Bluetooth if applicable - under sensor actions > 'Download Data'
Reset
Restore Factory (under 'More' > 'Sensor Tools' > 'Restore Factory')
Change Network (The sensor will search test its modem by searching for all available networks). IF this succeeds and displays a list of networks, choose the most appropriate network and save. IF this fails replace the sensor and contact CropX support.
- Run Diagnostics
- You will receive a notification of sensor measurement success or failure
- Contact CropX support if the failure continues at 650-265-0208
