FAQ AEGIS CONNECT

1 - How to install and turn on the connected ALL IN BOX ?

Pour une installation optimale des postes connectés, veuillez suivre les étapes ci-dessous :

For optimal installation of the connected stations, please follow the steps below :

1. Plug the hub (ref. 80016658) into a 220V power outlet. Ensure it is positioned high and centrally within the building (for multi-level buildings, prioritize the highest level) to allow for optimal site coverage and a good connection to the GSM network.

 

2. Choose the locations for the stations on the site and create them in the interface at https://aegis.connect.liphatech.fr/

 

3. Open the station with the AEGIS universal key, place the baits in the designated slots, and attach the fixing cable. For the use of rodent baits, folllow the usage recommendations indicated on the labels of each product.

 

4. Press and hold the button located under the cover.

 

5. Wait for a rapid and simultaneous flashing of the ON and OFF lights (video to be added) : this indicates that the station has successfully detected the hub and is connected to it.

 

6. The lights will then flash 11 times at a frequency of one second. Close the station during these flashes and position it in the desired location.

 

7. A reference photo is automatically taken at the 11th flash and transmitted to the AEGIS.CONNECT platform. The reference photograph will appear on the site after about thirty minutes. For more details, watch the explanatory video. (add video)

2 - How to reset the station and retake a reference photo ?

Follow the steps below :

1. Reposition the station if necessary.

2. Press the button under the cover for 1 second.

3. Wait a quick and simultaneous flashing of the ON and OFF lights (video to be added) : this indicates that the station has successfully detected the hub and is connected to it.

4. The lights will then flash 11 times at a frequency of two seconds. Close the station during these flashes. The reference photo is taken after the 11th flash.

3 - How to turn off a station ?

Press and hold the single button until the OFF lights remains steady ; the station will turn off once the button is released.

4 - Where to find the serial number of the ALL IN BOX ?

Under the cover at the location of the electronic card.

5 - What baits can be placed inside the ALL IN BOX ?

You can use baits in the form of pastes or blocks

Yes

Before moving a connected ALL IN BOX, turn it off. Position it in the chosen location and turn it back on. 

Remember to make the location change on AEGIS.CONNECT.

7 - How to position the baits correctly ?

If you are using the vertical rods, it is preferable to place the baits on the 3 middle rods so that the photo sensor can analyse consumption most effectively.

If you are using the horizontal rod, place the baits in the middle of it and position it on the middle rail.

8 - What is the IP (Ingress Protection rating) of the connected ALL IN BOX ?

The connected ALL IN BOX has an IP rating of 54.

9 - Can a rat trap be placed inside the connected ALL IN BOX ?

No, as it would damage the photo sensor when it closes.

10 - Does the proximity sensor distinguish between rats and mice ??

Yes. You can find this information on AEGIS.CONNECT, where it will show :

 

·       The number of rat passages

·       The number of mouse passages

You can :

  •   Reset the connected station by pressing the multifunction button for 2 seconds.
  • Or, from the AEGIS.CONNECT. platform, select the relevant connected station (PC…) and click on the « Reset » button.
23 - Where can I find serial numbers ?

You will find serial numbers :

·       On the invoice

·       On the shipping carton

·       Inside the cover of the connected ALL IN BOX station and the trap multi-capture CLASH !.

·       On the label attached behind the hub.

25 - What are the steps to follow to activate the tracking of connected objects on the AEGIS.CONNECT platform ?

1.Create the connected objects on the AEGIS.CONNECT platform starting with the hub.

2.Place them on the plan you have downloaded, approximately in the area where you intend to position them.

3.Go to the site to be protected to position the connected objects in the appropriate locations. First, plug in the hub and then turn on the connected objects.

4.You can now adjust the position of the connected objects on the AEGIS.CONNECT platform and start tracking.

26 - I can’t see the reference photo of my connected station (bait placement or mousetrap armament photo)

This may be due to a brief network disconnection. Click on the « Reset » button to upload the reference photo. It may be take a few minutes before it appears on the AEGIS.CONNECT platform.

27 - I triggered a manual snapshot and still don’t have the photo after a few minutes, why ?

The station communicates with the hub every 2 hours to exchange various information : number of rodent passages, photo transmission, photo request, etc. If you trigger a manual snapshot, this one will be done and transmitted to the AEGIS.CONNECT platform upon the station / hub communication. The delay between your trigger request and the photo display is therefore a maximum of 2 hours.
