Operation Instructions
After charging, assembly and device registration your RAPT Pill should be calibrated before use.
Refer to the
section for instructions on how to calibrate your device.
1.
Calibrate and then assemble your RAPT Pill. After calibration confirm your RAPT Pill is
correctly sending telemetry to the RAPT Portal by leaving it in a jug of water or sugar
solution for an hour and checking to see if telemetry has been received by the RAPT Portal.
It is best to conduct this test in the position where the Pill will be located during
fermentation such as if you are fermenting in a fermentation chamber place the Pill in a jug
in the fermentation chamber to confirm that telemetry is received and your RAPT Pill has
good signal strength.
2.
Once it is confirmed that your RAPT Pill is sending telemetry then sanitise your RAPT Pill with
an approved sanitiser such as
or
which has been correctly diluted
according to the instructions on the sanitiser’s container.
3.
Drop your RAPT Pill into your fermenter to monitor the specific gravity and temperature of
your brew in real time.
Sleep Mode
The RAPT Pill will enter sleep mode when the device is in a horizontal orientation. It will
automatically wake up when its orientation is changed indicated by the illumination of a green light
on the circuit board.
When not in use ensure the RAPT Pill is in a horizontal orientation to ensure it remains asleep.
