On
STATION SETTINGS
page you can set up your iMETOS device.
Station settings > Configuration:
ensure that Time zone and location are
properly set (you need to set it up manually, otherwise the station will not
take and send photos at the time in your time zone). Under
transfer settings
,
you can define how your iMETOS device sends data. Please note that the
settings for logging interval and transmission times will work with the de-
fault values – photo taken at 7am Austrian time - as long it is not changed.
Setup how your iMETOS CropVIEW® sends the data. Note that taking
and sending pictures consumes a lot of data and energy which is why a
limitation of three pictures per day is set.
Under
Camera
, you can setup camera settings. Note that wrong settings can
result in corrupted images. Change these settings only if you are an expert.

MAINTAINING THE iMETOS CropVIEW®
Keep the lenses clean.
When the solar panel of the iMETOS is exposed to the sun and gets
enough sunlight it should constantly recharge the battery of the system.
The lifespan of the battery is expected to be 5 to 6 years with sufficient
recharging from the solar panel. Deep discharge shortens its lifetime.
The iMETOS will prevent this to happen and protect the battery by lim-
iting the data transfer to the safe level of charge. In doing so, data is
not lost and battery recovers faster. Please make sure to clean the solar
panel if it is dirty or covered with snow or some other material.
iMETOS CropVIEW® is a durable and flexible data logger for all climatic
conditions, but if you want to store it (e.g. during the winter) in a ware-
house, disconnect the battery to avoid discharge.
UPDATING YOUR iMETOS CropVIEW®
Every time the iMETOS CropVIEW® connects to
FieldClimate
, it checks
for the latest firmware version. If it finds a newer version, it automati
-
cally downloads it and updates itself. iMETOS CropVIEW® can also be
updated manually via the USB connection.
