Frequently Asked Questions
1
Will SitePro work with different types of equipment?
​
Yes, the system works with a wide range of equipment (including tanks), machinery, interfaces and controllers.
2
Can SitePro monitor older machines without intelligent controls?
​
Although the system would be unable to provide data level interfacing detail, it can use contact-based monitoring to provide a wide range of very useful information including run hours, general alarm and fuel usage if the machine has a fuel sensor along with location and tracking.
3
What happens if there is no mobile signal where the equipment is to be sited?
​
For a small extra cost we can provide a SiteNode which uses Iridium satellite communications to ensure ‘go-anywhere’ coverage. Alternatively, the SiteNode can be linked through standard ethernet connection to a nearby computer network.
4
How big is the SiteNode?
​
110mm wide x 85mm deep x 30mm high
5
Will SiteNode cause my battery to go flat?
​
No, the system only consumes around 500mW (0.5W) of power in action and 20mW when it goes into sleep mode when not in use. This means a starter battery would be unaffected for more than a year.
