After-sales & Remote Operations
We turn after-sales from "fix it when broken" into a quantifiable, remote-capable, traceable service system. These standards come from frontline service specs and are the "service evidence" a buyer can verify when comparing options.
This page discloses the service commitments, response times, ticket grading, remote-diagnostic capability, on-site safety rules, consumable cycle and warranty policy (engineering methods and quantified metrics). Internal data such as material purchase prices, internal cost and spare-stock amounts are not public; the service times and warranty here are public commitments.
1. Service Commitments & Response Times
- Fast response: first response within 30 minutes of a request.
- Fast resolution: target to resolve within 48 hours.
- Good attitude: patient, professional, no passing the buck.
- Traceable: every service has a ticket, a record and a follow-up.
| Channel | Hours | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Hotline | 7×24 | Phone repair & consultation |
| WeChat support | Long daily hours | Scan to add, image/text chat |
| APP repair request | 7×24 | Submit device ID, fault symptom, photos/video |
| Cloud auto-monitoring | 7×24 | Auto alerts on anomaly, proactive customer contact |
2. Ticket Grading (P0–P3)
| Level | Definition | Response | Resolution | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0 Emergency | All aerators down, fish-kill risk | 15 min | 4 hours | Offline + extremely low DO |
| P1 Severe | Some aerators out of control, sensor fault | 30 min | 24 hours | A relay not actuating |
| P2 Normal | Abnormal data but aeration unaffected, frequent 4G drops | 2 hours | 48 hours | Occasional DO jump |
| P3 Minor | Usage question, feature suggestion | 4 hours | 7 days | How to set a timer mode |
3. Standard Process
4. Remote Diagnostic Capability (Core Differentiator)
Every Kantangren system ships with 4G cloud and a remote-ops channel; most faults are located and handled without a site visit:
| Capability | Support | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Online status | Full | 60s heartbeat, timeout = offline |
| Live data | Full | DO, water temp, relay status, 4G signal |
| History query | Full | Recent data stored, exportable trend analysis |
| Remote config | Full | DO threshold, alarm logic, cleaning cycle |
| Remote restart / clean trigger | Full | Soft restart, hard restart, immediate clean |
| Remote OTA | Full | Differential upgrade, see tech-specs page |
| Remote log read | Full | Run logs filterable by level, aids locating |
| Signal / voltage / temp diagnosis | Full | 4G detail, supply voltage, board temp real-time |
| Remote relay control | Limited | Needs second confirmation + operation log; manual action in auto mode needs extra confirm |
Offline Graded Diagnosis
| Last online | Possible cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| <1 hour | Temporary 4G drop, network fluctuation | Wait for auto-reconnect; still offline → ask customer to check power |
| 1–24 hours | Power loss, 4G module fault, SIM out of credit | Ask customer to check breaker trip / SIM status |
| >24 hours | Hardware fault, extreme weather | Dispatch site inspection |
5. On-site Service Rules
5.1 On-site flow
| Step | Content | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Arrival notice | Call customer on arrival | — |
| 2 Fault confirm | Verify on site, compare with ticket | 10 min |
| 3 Diagnose | Locate per diagnostic flow | 15–30 min |
| 4 Repair | Swap part / fix wiring / reconfigure | 30–60 min |
| 5 Test | Power on, confirm fault cleared | 15 min |
| 6 Customer confirm | Customer verifies on site | 10 min |
| 7 Clean & record | Clear tools/waste, fill ticket & sign | 15 min |
5.2 Conduct rules
- Neat appearance, proactively identify self; standard operation, disconnect power first.
- Only touch devices related to the repair, not unrelated facilities; explain issues in language the farmer understands.
- Transparent fees: free within warranty, fees disclosed in advance outside warranty.
5.3 On-site safety (Red Lines)
- Power-off operation: cut main power before repair, hang "Do Not Close" tag, verify no voltage before touching.
- Slip/water protection: pond edges are slippery, watch footing; no climbing in rain.
- Lightning protection: no outdoor repair during thunderstorms.
- Two-person work: live operation requires two people, one operates one guards.
6. Consumables & Scheduled Maintenance (No Internal Prices)
The following are public replacement cycles and maintenance plans; spare-stock and prices are internal, not public.
| Consumable | Cycle | Location | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fluorescence DO cap | 1–2 years | Sensor probe | Easy (hand-screw) |
| Cleaning silicone brush | 6–12 months | Sensor probe | Easy (clip) |
| Cleaning motor | 2–3 years | Sensor inside | Medium |
| Relay / contactor | 3–5 years (electrical life) | Cabinet DIN rail | Easy |
| RCD leakage protector | 5 years | Cabinet DIN rail | Easy |
| SPD surge protector | After lightning / 3 years | Cabinet DIN rail | Easy (plug-in) |
| 4G module | 5+ years | Controller PCB | Return to factory |

| Aerator power cable | Outdoor 5 yr / near-water 3 yr | Cabinet to aerator | Medium (wiring) |
Scheduled Maintenance Plan
| Frequency | Items |
|---|---|
| Daily (farmer) | Check APP DO and online status |
| Weekly (farmer) | Check sensor for algae cover, cabinet for water ingress |
| Monthly (ops) | RCD test, SPD check, desiccant, cable appearance, cabinet seal |
| Every 6 months (ops) | Aerator/sensor cable insulation test, grounding test (≤4Ω), RCD function test |
| Yearly (ops) | Grounding/insulation re-test, cap & brush check, contactor check, OTA to latest |

9. Farmer Self-check (FAQ)
What if a device goes offline?
Check last-online time: over 1 hour, go on site to check breaker trip, power LED, 4G antenna looseness; still offline → contact support.
DO shows 0 or abnormally high?
0 usually means loose sensor wire or bad cap; max usually means sensor fault. Tap "Clean now" in APP, wait 10 min; if not recovered check cable, then contact support to replace cap or sensor.
Aerator won't start in auto mode?
First see if current DO has reached the start threshold (if not, it won't start); if reached but not starting, try manual; manual works but auto doesn't → check threshold; manual also fails → check aerator and contactor.
4G signal poor, frequent drops?
APP shows signal strength; below -100dBm is poor; raise/extend the antenna or use high-gain; as last resort ask the carrier about a micro-base-station.
Will aerators stop during a power outage? Do they auto-recover?
DC48V system with storage keeps controller online; AC aerators stopping is normal, controller auto-resumes and restarts them by automatic logic after power returns — no manual action.
How often is the cap replaced?
Generally 1–2 years; replace on obvious drift or failed calibration; after replacement a saturation calibration must be run in APP or readings will be wrong.
Device problem? Remote first, then on-site
Every Kantangren system ships with a 4G remote-ops channel; most faults are located and handled on the cloud. For repair please provide device ID, fault symptom and registered phone.
