DirtMate units can power on and off at specific times to limit the collection of GPS data to what is necessary for the project. There is likely no need to collect position and utilization data each night when the machines are parked up and not in production. Introducing an “Install Configuration” for each Dirtmate will ensure that the data you need is the data you get.
Allowing DirtMates to sleep during the night will minimize the need to charge and maintain battery life.
Configuring DirtMate data collection
In the DirtMate Management App, Navigate to the DIRTMATE tab.
You can also use the HARDWARE tab in your portal when using a web browser to access the Dirtmate Management space.
Select any Dirtmate on your list to familiarize yourself with the install configuration.
From the SETTINGS tab, click EDIT and scroll past the Network related settings to Install configuration.
By default, each checkbox is enabled to Limit data collection time. If your site runs 24 hours a day, you have good reason to uncheck this box.
Also, by default, DirtMates will attempt to upload before sleeping in case the data stored near the end of the day has not been offloaded yet.
I still can't do it!
