Trap Information
The trap information in the right box provides general data
to your trap like name, IMEI (International Mobile Equipment
Identity), last connection, and level of CO
2
cylinder.
For changing these data, click on the pencil icon next to the
“
Trap Information” (12).

To change, click on the text field, and enter the new name
(13).
CO
2
cylinder
On the main trap page, an estimate is provided for the cur-
rent fill status of the CO
2
cylinder, and the time left until em-
pty. For the estimate to be correct, it is necessary to have a
fixed schedule, and to indicate when the cylinder was last
filled.
Cylinder size (kg)
Click on “Please select” or the current size, and pick a size
from the drop-down list (14).
Fill
Click on the “Fill” button, and then select the date and time
at which the cylinder was last filled (15).
Flow rate
The flow rate is automatically set to 50 g/h. This is the opti
-
mum number for operation of the BG-Counter to attract mos-
quitoes while at the same time repelling other insects. This
field cannot be edited.
Data connection
Determines how often the counter will try to connect to the
website, and transmit counts and other data (16). The default
is every 15 minutes. Other choices are every 1, 2, 4, and
8 hours (Independent of this setting, count data are always
stored with 15-minute resolution).
The 15-minute setting is useful for diagnostics when the
counter is first set up. However, during each transmission,
counting stops for 15-120 seconds, depending on the cellu-
lar signal strength. This can result in a small undercounting
error. In order to minimize this error, a data connection peri
-
od of 1 hour or longer is recommended for routine operation.
A new setting is transmitted at the next data connection, i.e.
if previously the interval was set to 4 hours, and now an in-
terval of 1 hour is desired, it may take up to 4 hours until the
new setting is transmitted.
