Our modem only needs mobile coverage with a “decent” signal, i.e. “1-2 bars” are needed and sufficient. Our SIM can connect to all the major operators.
If the Aqvify box is to be placed in e.g. a concrete ring, obviously impenetrable walls – or where there is very poor coverage – then we recommend buying an external antenna.
The connection cable is run between the sensor/well and the Aqvify box. The voltage in the connection cable is 12 Volt.
The Aqvify box is often located right next to the well, e.g. inside a pump house, but sometimes far away (when the Aqvify box should be located next to an electrical outlet). The maximum recommended length of the connection cable is 100 meters. The cable should be protected from loads (eg. vehicles) and, of course, should not be laid in such a way that it risks hurting someone (e.g. tripping over it).
Standard lengths are 3, 10 and 25 meters. Larger lengths are also available on “rolls”. Contact hello@aqvify.com for questions or larger cable lengths.
