📝 This topic is for all models except the Dairy WOW 4000. For the Dairy WOW 4000, click here.

An LTE internet connection for your Walk Over Weighing (WOW) system requires no setup, but you can check the performance using the Datamars WOW Configuration app.

Notes:

  • These instructions only apply to LTE enabled WOW systems.

  • Before you start, make sure that the 4G LTE antenna is connected to the control unit:

To check the LTE internet connection:

  1. Position yourself next to the WOW system.

  2. Go into your mobile phone settings and check that Wi-Fi is set to On.

  3. From the list of available networks, select RemoteWOW and enter the password trutestRemoteWOW.

  4. Open a browser (e.g. Google or Safari) and type 192.168.50.1 into the address bar.

    This will launch the Datamars WOW Configuration app:

5. Scroll down to Current Signal.
The Signal Strength should be between -30 and -90 dBm.

  • If the Signal Strength is 0, check that the 4G LTE antenna is plugged in correctly on the control unit (see pictures above).

  • If the Signal Strength is between -91 and -100 dBm, reposition the 4G LTE antenna. If this doesn't work, try a third-party antenna with a longer cable and/or a different location (e.g high on a pole).
