When a Wildfire Sensor has been deployed and is , the status icon is Grey. When it is fully-charged, the status icon changes to Orange to indicate the Sensor is . When calibration is complete (14-days), the status icon becomes Green.
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 during daytime.
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.
The Wildfire Sensor's power supply is stored in rather than rechargeable batteries as rechargeable batteries can potentially ignite. Using batteries would defeat the purpose of a wildfire detection system.
