KeymasterHello Robert, sorry about that picture, didn’t notice it. I’ll have it replaced when I get the chance.
While a Geiger tube is just a two electrodes discharge tube and there is electronic charge requirements in that regards, the polarity is still important because of optimisations made in the materials used: the cathode is a large surface material responsible of electron emissions, while the anode works as a charge collector and is usually a tiny wire.
For some tips on installation, please see the article for model A, the facts there apply to KIT1 as well, except that the KIT1 doesn’t have an enclosure: https://www.uradmonitor.com/tips-for-installing-the-uradmonitor-unit/
If you plan to use a BME280, you’ll need it to communicate with the air outside. Some holes (at the bottom) are needed. For POE you can use a passive one like:

KeymasterHi Waheed,
I was just thinking about your unit as I saw it offline, then I saw this post. Sorry to hear.
Last data is from 05/30/2016 @ 11:04pm (UTC) , and the readings are fine:
temperature: 32.5C
cpm: 10 / 16 / 26 (normal)
voltage on tube: 382V (normal)
duty: 36%Everything looks fine. It doesn’t look like a failure. Check the network cable, the power supply and try connecting the unit to a different router. See if the LEDS (green/yellow) flash. Try connecting to your unit directly, opening its DHCP given IP in your browser (in the same LAN).
Feel free to ask if you need help with any of the above.

KeymasterJust send me the coordinates you want it to show at (in decimal formal) and the city name. There will be a feature to change the coordinates yourselves, directly, but it is not yet ready.
uRADMonitor
KeymasterOk, I changed it, now should be right on spot.

KeymasterHello Ruben, those are some excellent pics, please post a few in this thread as they definitely have a chance for winning! Some guys already did a 3D printed case, I’m trying to bring them here as well, so people can actually benefit of the beauty of open source. Got your requirement on BME280, and it’s now on my list.
uRADMonitor
KeymasterThank you for this report.
I just fixed the issue and the names should be correctly encoded now.
uRADMonitor
KeymasterThat is correct, by default it uses Geo IP location, to make everything as close as possible to a plug and play system.
New coordinates in place! Let me know if ok.
Congrats on soldering your KIT1! Feel free to share pics or any feedback on your construction on: https://www.uradmonitor.com/topic/soldering-the-kit1/
uRADMonitor
KeymasterThanks Ziggy, yes we use the decimal format!
Coordinates changed, let me know if all is ok!
uRADMonitor
KeymasterStill on the (long) todo list. There will be a website update soon, hope to have it integrated then.
uRADMonitor
KeymasterHey DPB , congrats on running the very first uRADMonitor in that part of the world! Are the coordinates ok or do they need any adjustments? Also would love to see a few pics with your construction, we have a thread for that, please post a few there: https://www.uradmonitor.com/topic/soldering-the-kit1/
uRADMonitor
KeymasterThat’s correct Sulley! Anode must be connected to the GEIGER + (Just emailed him about it.)
Feel free to post pics with your own construction!uRADMonitor
KeymasterI will get back to you on this. Preordering: yes. I am also considering setting up a second indiegogo campaign for A3, but first I need to finish the delivery of the model D on the current campaign.
uRADMonitor
KeymasterThanks for the update!

KeymasterHello Ken,
The model A has a watchdog mechanism: if the network connection drops, it will reboot automatically after 10 minutes. This was added in the newer firmware versions, and your unit has it.
I’d need more details to know what goes wrong with your setup, and a first thing you could test is connecting the unit to a different internet router. Then is changing the power adapter with another one. We’d need this two ruled out before anything else.
L.EDIT: I see it up and running: https://www.uradmonitor.com/?open=110000E7
