Overview

Jolt sensors may be eligible for replacement under manufacturer warranty if they are defective or malfunctioning.

Warranty coverage:

  • Covers device defects and performance issues

Replacement is processed after inspection of the returned sensor.


How to Start a Warranty Replacement

1. Contact Support and Open a Case

A support case must be created before sending any hardware.

You will receive:

  • A case number

  • Instructions for next steps


2. Prepare the Sensor for Shipment

Before shipping:

  • Securely package the sensor to prevent damage

  • Include a note with your case number and issue description

Example issue description:

  • “Sensor not connecting”

  • “Temperature readings not updating”


3. Include Required Information

Make sure the shipment includes:

  • Case number

  • Sensor ID(s)

  • Brief description of the issue

  • Associated location or equipment (e.g., fridge/freezer name)

This helps speed up identification and processing.


4. Ship the Sensor to Jolt

  • Send the defective sensor to the address provided by Support

  • Customer is responsible for outbound shipping costs

  • Keep the tracking number for reference


Inspection and Replacement

Once received:

  • Jolt inspects the sensor to confirm warranty eligibility

  • If approved, a replacement is shipped to the customer

  • Return shipping for the replacement is covered by Jolt


Important Notes

  • Physical damage is not covered under warranty

  • Missing information may delay processing

  • Warranty approval is based on inspection outcome


Support Guidance

  • Always require a case number before accepting hardware

  • Confirm sensor ID and location details to avoid delays

  • Separate shipping instructions from warranty eligibility explanation

  • Escalate unclear or incomplete submissions before processing
