Users’ Manual 1 Digital Node (Wireless-RF) QUICK START GUIDE Generally, we send devices pre-configured. If your devices are pre-configured by us, please go through the user-friendly procedure to get started with your ER Beam system, which takes only a few minutes to get the process rolling. 1 Power on Gateway and turn on its inbuilt Wi-Fi network. 2 Connect your Android phone to the ER Beam Wi-Fi network. 3 Connect the Android cable to the phone first using the OTG adapter.
Users’ Manual 2 Digital Node (Wireless-RF) SETTING UP WIRELESS DIGITAL NODE This section provides information on setting up a Digital Node to work with the offline ER Beam gateway. 2.1 Installation The Nodes can be directly affixed to a flat surface using M6 screws. However, for more sophisticated mounting scenarios, we recommend using the node bracket. The node bracket can be used to easily mount the node on flat surfaces, on pipes using U-bolts or cable-ties, or in other complicated settings.
Users’ Manual 2.2 Digital Node (Wireless-RF) Node Setup 1 Connect the node antenna to the antenna bulkhead. 2 Connect the sensor wires to the node while ensuring that the wires are plugged in correctly. PWR: +12 V Supply GND: Ground SIG1: Output Signal SIG2: If reqd SHLD: Shield wire of sensor 3 2.3 Switch off the Node and insert the battery while ensuring the correct polarity. Configuring via the ER Offline App 1 Obtain an Android phone and connect it to the ER_Beam Wi-Fi network.
Users’ Manual Digital Node (Wireless-RF) 3 Switch on the Node. 4 Open the ER Beam app on the phone. NOTE: (i) You need to add the Node and create the project first before you commission the digital node. Please refer to ‘Gateway Setup’ section in the users’ manual for Gateway for details. Then click on the Encardio-rite Node Configuration app software Icon. Search for the project, which you have already created once you open your ER app.
Users’ Manual Digital Node (Wireless-RF) (ii) Click on “Setup Device” on the menu (at the bottom of screen), the app will show connected node information. (iii) Optional Step: If Wireless Mesh (Relay) function is to be deployed, click on "Wireless Mesh" toggle button to enable.
Users’ Manual (i) (iv) Digital Node (Wireless-RF) After pressing Setup Sensor, Sensor Setup page will open. A + sign button at the bottom right of the screen is to be clicked to configure the sensor. Sensor setting can be made as follows: Sensor Code: Desired sensor name. Sensor Address: Type the respective sensor address of the individual sensor. Sensor Type: Select respective sensor type. Parameters: Turn on the parameters as connected to the Node.
Users’ Manual (v) Click Save Settings. The Node will now read the configured sensor. (vi) On next page, you will see the first reading.
Users’ Manual (ii) (vii) Digital Node (Wireless-RF) To get another reading, click on the arrow icon. Click on + icon to add more sensors. Repeat above steps to configure other sensors connected to the Node.
Users’ Manual Digital Node (Wireless-RF) (viii) Once all sensors are configured, click on “Enable Sensor” button. It will take you to next page “Scanning Network” which will scan the wireless signal strength (RSSI) between the Node and Gateway. (ix) After receiving the Network Test information, if you need to, you can perform another network test by pressing the button located at the lower right corner.
Users’ Manual Digital Node (Wireless-RF) (x) Next, click “Start Monitoring” button then the app will prompt, “Device commissioned”. Click OK. (xi) Press the Project Sync button at lower right area to send all the configuration information back to the gateway.
Users’ Manual Digital Node (Wireless-RF) (xii) If you would like to get the Node to immediately send a reading to the Gateway, press the “SYS TEST” button on the device’s printed circuit board as shown below. (xiii) For commissioning of additional Nodes, repeat the above steps. (xiv) Now proceed to the Gateway software dashboard on your Laptop and click on your project. Now you will be able to observe your commissioned devices under “Device Summary” Section.
