What needs to be considered when installing Mertani devices is the presence of a signal and the vegetation or planting distance density. In some specific cases, when installing an AWLR, there are also several considerations that will determine the type of sensor used, such as peat depth, water level fluctuations, and so on. We recommend further discussion to determine the sensor that is suitable for the field conditions.
If there are specific parameters needed, please feel free to contact us to discuss those requirements further.
One unit of Mertani AWS can cover an area of 2000 hectares. Another example is that in a scenario with four divisions, one division can be represented by one AWS, while the other three use Automatic Rainfall Recorders (ARR).
Mertani devices assist plantations in recording weather data or parameters such as rainfall, temperature, humidity, wind pressure, wind direction and speed, Groundwater Level (TMAT), Channel Water Level (TMAS), and so on. This data is then processed internally by the plantation's team to aid in planning and decision-making, including irrigation, fertilization, and other actions related to plant care.
The Mertani logo, from a philosophical perspective, is aligned with the company's name, "Merapi Tani Instrumen," where "Merapi" is closely associated with "wedhus gembel" or volcanic ash, which is hoped to bring benefits to the surrounding community.
Connections can be using WiFi, 2G and 4G.
In case of a blindspot location, Mertani provides two options. If you want the data to be automatically sent, you can use LoRa. The other option is to use Bluetooth, which collects data once a month or as needed, depending on your preferences.
Mertani devices are equipped with a memory card that allows data to be stored when the signal is lost. Once the signal becomes available again, the data will be sent, and the data stored on the memory card will be automatically deleted.
Mertani devices use batteries that can be charged with solar panels or manually charged using an adapter. In some specific cases, such as when using CCTV, power from an accumulator or car battery may be required.
The AWLR device can last for approximately 3 to 4 months. This duration may vary depending on the signal condition, as poorer signal conditions can lead to higher power consumption.
For the price list, you can contact us for further information because device prices fluctuate and can be customized to meet the needs of customers.
There are annual managed service fees and on-site service fees for installation (accommodation, travel, etc.).
Maintenance that needs to be performed includes cleaning the sensors from dust and dirt at least once a year. Additionally, for some types of sensors, recalibration may be required to ensure accurate readings.
Installation is optional, which means it can be done by the Mertani team or by yourself. If you choose to install it yourself, you will be provided with installation videos by Mertani for guidance.
Mertani devices come with a 1-year warranty. As of now, some Mertani devices have reached a lifetime of 3 years.
If all the device components are available, the device can be shipped after a production period of 2 - 3 weeks.
