Wildfire Sensors require 14 days after deployment to be calibrated to the environment. During this time the they do not provide useful data.
Calibration ready upon delivery
When a sensor is delivered to the customer, it is ready to be deployed, charged up and calibrated. No additional settings need to be made to the device.
When a Wildfire Sensor is deployed and charged, the status icon changes to Orange to indicate calibrating and then Green when ready.
After the Wildfire Sensor has been mounted, it requires 1 day to fully charge the supercapacitors. Once charged, the sensor’s solar panel continuously charges the supercapacitors, except of course during the night.
Use of semiconductors
The Wildfire Sensor's power supply is stored in supercapacitors rather than rechargeable batteries as rechargeable batteries can potentially ignite. Using batteries would defeat the purpose of a wildfire detection system.
For more information, see Silvanet Wildfire Sensors.
After the Wildfire sensor has been fully charged, the sensor begins a 14-day initial calibration.
Once mounted, the Wildfire Sensor runs a calibration to prepare the device for fire detection. During this period, the Sensor does not provide any useful data may send false fire alerts, even after a month after deployment.
After this "settling in" period, the Wildfire Sensor is ready to detect fires.
After interactions
After interactions with the Wildfire Sensor, it requires at least 5 days to return to steady-state.
For more information, see Sensor normalization.
