1. Introduction to CleanFLEX

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

container. It uses robust ultrasonic technology, allowing it to monitor any type of substance.

CleanFLEX measures bin fill-level, monitors bin status, and sends real-time data to

CleanCityNetworks (CCN). CleanFLEX telecommunicates with CCN through WCDMA

networks. Obtaining real-time fill-level data of bins allows you to take action ahead of time.

1.1 CleanFLEX contents

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

1.1.1 Included in CleanFLEX box

Each CleanFLEX box is shipped with the following items:

CleanFLEX (1 EA)

M6×12mm (2 EA), M6×8mm (2 EA)

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

1.1.2 Optional with CleanFLEX

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 separately, you must provide information

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

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

provide appropriate bracket and kit for installing CleanFLEX inside the waste containers.
