Methameasure: User Guide
To prevent sensor failure and maintain warranty validity, adhere strictly to this schedule:
| Frequency | Task | Tools Required | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Daily | Check for condensate in the sight glass. Push the drain button. | None | | Weekly | Verify flow meter ball is floating at 0.8–1.2 L/min. Adjust needle valve if needed. | Flathead screwdriver | | Monthly | Remove the internal dust filter (under front cover). Wash with distilled water, air dry. | Hex key (3mm) | | Quarterly | Full zero & span calibration (see Part 5). | Calibration gases | | Annually | Replace the NDIR light source (factory service only). | Return to vendor |
Critical Warning: Never use high-pressure compressed air (over 2 bar) to blow out the internal manifold. Use only low-pressure nitrogen or sample gas. Excess pressure will rupture the micro-flow sensor (cost: ~$400 USD for replacement).
In the mobile app, swipe an alert to Acknowledge (you are investigating) or Snooze (temporary, with a note). Acknowledged alerts are timestamped and logged for audit trails.
The goal of the MethaMeasure reporting suite is to turn raw field data into actionable insights. A "Useful Report" is defined here as a document that provides accurate summation, volume calculation, or compliance data that can be shared with stakeholders, mills, or inventory managers.
| Issue | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Report is blank | Date range is incorrect or no data synced. | Check internet connection on the field devices; verify the date range covers the harvest dates. | | Volumes look wrong | Incorrect Formula applied. | Check the "Settings" or "Species Configuration" to ensure the correct Volume Equation (e.g., JAS, Huber, Doyle) is selected. | | Missing Loads | Data not uploaded from the scaler device. | The field operator needs to force a "Sync" on their mobile device/tablet. | methameasure user guide
