Where can Insytly be used?

Modified on Fri, 4 Jul at 2:08 PM

 This guide outlines the geographic, network, and environmental conditions suitable for deploying your Insytly remote monitoring and control units.

Geographic & Network Coverage

Insytly devices use the cellular network to transmit data to the cloud platform. Your device's connectivity depends on the specific model you have.

  • IY-LITE-EU & IY-HUB2-EU Models: These units are equipped with a SIM designed for use across the UK and Europe, connecting to available 2G and 4G LTE networks within these regions.

  • IY-LITE-G & IY-HUB2-G (Global) Model: This unit has a SIM with global bands, allowing it to be deployed in most regions worldwide where 2G or 4G CAT1 LTE cellular networks are available.

Key Requirement: For any Insytly unit to function, it must be installed in a location with adequate 2G or 4G cellular signal strength. If the signal is weak data reporting may be intermittent. In such cases, an external puck-style antenna may be required to help boost the available signal.

Environmental & Installation Conditions

Insytly hardware is designed to be robust and durable for a wide range of remote applications.

  • Power Source: Insytly units are designed exclusively for low-voltage DC systems, typically ranging from 12V to 48V. They cannot be connected to AC mains power directly.

  • Physical Environment: The main hardware units (IY-LITE and IY-HUB2) and the supplied antennas are water-resistant and suitable for outdoor use.

    • The IY-LITE & IY-HUB2 has an official IP64 rating, meaning it is protected from total dust ingress and water splashes from any direction.

  • ⚠️ Important Note on Connectors: While the main units are weather-resistant, the wiring loom connectors are not sealed. For installations exposed to the elements, it is essential to protect these connections using adhesive-lined heat shrink or by placing them inside a suitable waterproof (glanded) IP-rated enclosure to prevent water ingress and corrosion.

  • Temperature: The units are designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures typical of outdoor environments. For specific operating temperature ranges, please refer to the detailed technical specification sheet for your product.
