Reliable and robust sensing system

The Nubo Sphere hardware was designed to operate in the harshest environmental conditions and provide insights into your site’s emissions 24/7.

The Nubo Sphere sensor node can be mounted on a wide variety of poles or existing infrastructure in less than ten minutes. No special tools or complicated training courses needed

Every detail of the system is designed for minimum maintenance effort. The cartridge system in particular allows for easy maintenance and system adaptation to future regulatory requirements or monitoring needs.

Fast and easy installation

Step 1 – Mount pre-selected Nubo Sphere system

Fix the pole mounting plates to the pole with band ties. The universal mounting plate is compatible with all of the system’s elements and a wide variety of pole diameters. Simply attach the sensor node on the first system by sliding the system’s backplate into the mounting plate. The system holds in place so that you can easily tighten the fixation screws. Install boom and orient pole (in the Northern hemisphere: all mounting brackets facing South / in the Southern hemisphere: all mounting brackets facing North).

Step 2 – Set up all other Nubo Sphere systems

Completely set up all other Nubo Sphere systems on site, then mount the wind sensor on the pre-selected Nubo Sphere system. Point the red mark on wind sensor to neighboring Nubo Sphere system in direct line of sight (< 20m / 66ft away).

Step 3 – Mount solar panel

Mount the solar panel and connect the wind sensor cable as well as the solar panel cable to the sensor node. On the bottom of the sensor node a LED is now blinking yellow and searches for connection. As soon as the connection is established the LED shines green for 1 minute and extinguishes which means that the data connection is established. Attach the cables to the rod using cable ties. Now you are ready for registering the system through the Nubo Sphere platform mobile app.

Smart cartridge system

The future-proof system design with its two exchangeable sensor cartridges allows easy maintenance and sustainable upgrades to the latest sensor technologies. In case of customer-specific sensing needs or changing regulatory requirements, parameters such as H2S, CO or CO2 can be added in a very flexible manner and on an as-needed basis without any need to exchange the entire system.
