Pre-test checklist

Ensure you have read the following checklist before beginning the deployment test.

Task Description
Deployment Packet prepared Site Packet is prepared for the deployment of Border Gateway and sensors.
Border Gateway deployment Border Gateway is deployed with a reliable power supply. Border Gateway has Internet connectivity via Ethernet or LTE-M mobile.
Sensor deployment Sensors deployed and QR Code scanned into the Deployment app. Sensors are sending data to the Silvanet Network. Once deployed, DO NOT INTERACT with sensors before or during a test.
14-day sensor calibration Sensors MUST be calibrated in the planned location for 14 days.
Test fire preparation Test fire material dried and stored indoors for at least 14 days. Fire department has been informed of the test fire.
Fire ashes safely discarded Remove burnt material before putting in new material. Ensure burnt material from any previous test fire has been thoroughly put out and no embers are hidden in the ashes as they can ignite other material.
Test modifications When modifying the test, change only one element per test.
2-4 hr sensor settle-in period Let the sensors settle for 2-4 hours after any changes to the test, such as new burning material or sensor spacing.

Warning

DO NOT PROCEED WITH A TEST IF YOU HAVE NOT MET THE STEPS OF THE PRE-TEST CHECKLIST.
