1. Introduction to CleanFLEX

CleanFLEX(CAM) is a smart fill-level sensor that can be easily installed on any type of

container. It uses robust ToF VCSEL (Time of Flight, Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting

Laser) technology, allowing it to monitor any type of non-transparent solid substance.

In addition, CleanFlex can take pictures of the inside of the trash bin using the built-in

camera, and the photographed photos are transmitted to Clean City Networks

wirelessly along with the collected bin fill-level and trash bin status information.

CleanFLEX communicates with CCN through 3G. Obtaining real-time fill-level data of

bins empowers the user to make data-driven decisions.

1.1 CleanFLEX contents

When you receive CleanFLEX, ensure you have all items mentioned in this section.

1.1.1 Included in CleanFLEX box

Each CleanFLEX box is shipped with the following:

CleanFLEX(CAM) (1 EA)

M6 x 12mm (2 EA), M6 x 8mm (2 EA)

Magnet (1 EA)

Torx driver (1 EA), Torx bit M3 (1 EA), Torx bit M6 (1 EA)

1.1.2 Optional

In certain cases, optional items (e.g. brackets) are required for installing CleanFLEX

inside a waste container. These items are customized to fit your waste containers and

must be ordered separately. Before ordering these items, you must provide information

about height, width, volume, and material of your waste container. Based on the

information provided, Ecube Labs will calculate the exact height for installing CleanFLEX

and will provide the appropriate bracket and kit.

1.2 Features

CleanFLEX provides the following features:

˙Mountable to any type of bin or container.

Three types of standard brackets can be provided. If necessary, contact the sales person.

˙It is complementary to CleanCUBE and can be installed in areas not feasible for CleanCUBE

installations.

˙Data from CleanFLEX can be viewed on the same software platform that displays data from

CleanCUBE.

˙Provides accurate sensing with ToF technology.

˙Taking pictures using the camera sensor

˙Effectively monitors non-transparent solid materials.

˙Allows you to configure sensors remotely.

˙Provides wireless transmission of bin fill-level and bin status data to CleanCityNetworks.

˙Supports 3G network

˙Provides location information through GPS module.

For details on how to use the above features, please refer to the “Clean City Networks User Manual”.

2. Installing CleanFLEX

CleanFLEX can be installed inside of waste containers or under its lid. If the installation

is for a waste container with a lid, CleanFLEX should be mounted under the lid. If the

installation is for a waste container without a lid, CleanFLEX should be mounted on the

inside of the waste container.

CleanFLEX must be installed, connected, commissioned, operated, and

maintained by qualified personnel only.

2.1 Installation prerequisites

The accuracy of CleanFLEX data is affected by the location and environment of

installation. It is recommended that CleanFLEX be installed with the direction of the

sensor’s light beam being perpendicular to the bottom base of the waste container (or

bin). If necessary, please adjust the angle of the ToF sensor.

If the direction of the light beam is not perpendicular to the base of the

waste bin, the distance traveled by the reflected light may not be the same

with the bin profile and may result in inaccurate measurements.

In order to receive accurate fill-level data, the user must enter the sensor and bin

height into CleanCityNetworks. Refer to Section 4 (Bin Profile) for more information.

Any protruding objects (i.e., vinyl bin liner) between the light beam and the

bottom base of the waste bin may affect fill-levels.

CleanFLEX's cameras have a wide angle of view, but they may need to be

adjusted as they may be obscured by the internal structure of the trash bin.

2.2 Installing CleanFLEX

Fill-level accuracy depends on how well it is mounted and configured. Depending on

the container type, it may be necessary to seek advice on appropriate installation

location and method of installation.

Ensure you have the following items before beginning the installation:

˙Stencil pen, marker

˙M6 drill bit

˙Power drill

˙Torx driver

˙M6 torx bolts (2 EA)

˙CleanFLEX

Take the following steps to install CleanFLEX under the lid or inside the bin.

1. To determine the mounting location of CleanFLEX, find a spot with a clear line of

sight to the center of the bin’s bottom base. Use a stencil pen to mark the spots

where you will drill holes.

2. Using a power drill with an M6 drill bit and drill holes on the marked spots.

3. Position CleanFLEX on the installation surface and tighten with screws from the

other side.

4. Make sure the sensor is pointed at the center of the bottom base of the bin.

Change the angle of CleanFLEX’s adjustable sensor head if necessary.

5. Make sure CleanFLEX is securely installed.

If the installation surface is too thick, use long M6 torx bolts to secure

CleanFLEX.

3. Activating CleanFLEX

After installing CleanFLEX, activate the device and check its operation. If you contact

Ecube Labs or your point of purchase, you will be provided with more accurate

activation confirmation.

3.1 Checking CleanFLEX ON or OFF status

Perform the following to check the ON or OFF status of CleanFLEX.

1. Refer to the diagram and place the magnet on the following location. The

magnet is recognized only on this location.

2. Remove the magnet in 5 seconds to check the status of the unit.

A. If the red LED light flashes 4 to 5 times in 5 seconds: the unit is in sleep

mode.

B. If the green LED light flashes 4 to 5 times in 5 seconds: the unit is ON

mode.

3.2 Turning CleanFLEX ON

Once CleanFLEX is installed, turn CleanFLEX ON to ensure it is working. Before turning

CleanFLEX ON, perform the tasks described in the following prerequisite section.

3.2.1 Prerequisites

Before turning CleanFLEX ON, log in to the CCN web interface, select the respective

CleanFLEX unit and click “Request GPS Update”. This ensures accurate GPS location

updates from CleanFLEX. Refer to the “

CleanCityNetworks Web User’s Manual”

for

instructions on requesting a GPS update.

For CleanFLEX installed underground, it is highly recommended to perform “Set

Manual Location” as CleanFLEX installed underground does not obtain accurate

GPS location coordinates.

Take the following steps to turn CleanFLEX on.

1. Place the magnet on the indent located on the side of CleanFLEX and hold it

there for 5 to 10 seconds and then remove it.

2. The LED light will blink red and then eventually turn green. Please note that

removing the magnet too soon (<5 seconds) or too late (>10 seconds) will fail

to turn the unit on.

After the unit is on, it will try to reach the server. The green LED will blink 5 times

rapidly to show that it successfully communicated with the server.
