DRUID Debut Series User manual

Debut® Series (Cellular)
QUICK START
This guide is for Debut series devices that transmit data through cellular (2G/3G/4G/5G) network.
The models include FLEX, FLEX II, LEGO, MINI, OMNI, and BADGE, etc.
System Architecture
The flow-chart below shows how data is transmitted from such device to your account.
Before Using
Make sure you have an Ecotopia account to log in to Ecotopia App and data center.
! Ecotopia App: Search “Ecotopia” on App Store or Google Play. This is the App icon:
! Ecotopia data center: https://ecotopiago.com/#/login
You can operate all devices under the account after logging in. Before test, please switch the
device status from the default “Suspended” to “Active”.
Device status is related to data services items and data fee billing. Please read “

Getting Started
Step 1: Charge the device (rechargeable devices only)
Place the device under direct sunlight for several hours or longer, depending on the weather.
Note
: Avoid placing the device directly on concrete floor, rock or metal surface, especially
in summer, because fast rising temperature of such surface (sometimes could be over
80!) could cause permanent damage to the device. When deployed on animal, however,
the device temperature is influenced by animal body temperature and will not be too high.
Step 2: Turn on the device and deliver settings
We recommend that you always turn on a device with your mobile phone connected to network,
especially for the first time of device initialization.
Note
: If you plan to initialize your device in an environment without mobile network, please
make sure you have cached all necessary information in your mobile phone beforehand.
For details, please read “
Help
>
Data Platform
>
Ecotopia App
>
Cache Management
” on
the datacenter (https://ecotopiago.com/help/en/#/instruction/App/cache_setting).
1）Authorize Bluetooth to Ecotopia App, and log in with your account.
2）Tap INTELINK icon on App and wait for 15~ 20 seconds. You will see a list of devices.
Those in blue color are detected by App.
3）Tap to select one device, or tap and hold to select multiple devices. Follow the instructions to
turn them on, and deliver the settings to the device.
Note
: (1) For some batches of devices, shake a device to see LED blinking (blinking LED
light indicates that INTELINK of the device has been activated), then tap INTELINK icon
and turn on the device before the LED blinking stops. (2) “Setting delivery” is an important
step to initialize your device. By doing this, the device can obtain the fine settings that are
suitable for each sub-model. When your App is connected to network, it will obtain the
correct settings from the cloud server. Without network connection, the App will use the
information you cached in your mobile phone.
Step 3: View the data
Place the device in open space with a sky view, and keep it far from high walls, metal surface,
strong magnet, or liquid surface (like wet floor). This provides a favorable environment for GPS
signal receiving and gateway connection.
The device will start to collect and transmit data, according to its settings. Then you can check the
data on Ecotopia App and data center.
More operations or information, please refer to
Help
on Ecotopia data center or App.

Before deployment, it is highly suggested to keep the device working for several days. During the
period, you can get familiar with the system, get to know the best device setting for local
environment and be sure the battery is fully charged before deployment.
We will give you in-time technical support during testing and deployment to ensure the device
can work at its best performance.
Alternative Method for Turning-On
Some models can also be turned on/off by magnet. If you have already initialized
your devices, you can also use magnet for turning on. The method is described
below:
Place the magnetic switch close to the blue dot as shown below for at least 5
seconds. The green LED light blinks for 3 seconds and goes out, and the device is
turned on.
Debut FLEX Debut FLEX II Debut LEGO
However, this method might not give you accurate feedback. For example, the LED
blinking pattern might not be obvious in daylight, and the App does not have an
updated record about device on/off status and battery level. So, unless you are very
familiar with Debut devices, we suggest you to always use App for turning on.
Another thing to note is that when you use magnet to turn off devices, all data stored
on board will be erased, as well as the fine settings. So, if you turned off a device
with magnet, you should initialize it again with App before you deploy it on animals.

Improper storage, usage or maintenance may cause permanent damage and affect
warranty. Please read the following cautions carefully:
• Keep the surrounding environment temperature of the device under 60 ℃ in any
circumstances. Otherwise, permanent damage may happen to the device;
• Keep the device away from magnetic field or electric field (for example, a transformer);
• Take proper protection measures to prevent the device from falling on hard surfaces;
• Don’t dismantle the device on your own.
Battery drain happens to lithium battery when you are not using the device. Overcharge and
long-time low batter-level both hurt battery performance and life. It is suggested to charge
the device for 1-2 day every 2 months to maintain proper battery level. When you dispose
your device and/or other batteries, make sure that it is done sustainably.
