1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing the AROYA system from METER Group, Inc. USA. Prior to use, verify the sensor arrived in good condition. The AROYA Gateway (H210—Figure 5 and Figure 6) is powered over a Power Over Ethernet (POE) enabled device that is compliant with IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet standards.

AROYA 2. OPERATION Please read all instructions before operating the AROYA to ensure it performs to its full potential. PRECAUTIONS METER sensors are built to the highest standards, but misuse, improper protection, or improper installation may damage the sensor and possibly void the manufacturer’s warranty. Before integrating AROYA into a system, make sure to follow the recommended installation instructions and have the proper protections in place to safeguard sensors from damage. 2.
OPERATION Table 1 Mounting H210 Gateway Installation (continued) METER recommends mounting the Gateway on a wall with the cable ports at the bottom. Punch holes in the bottom of the mounting bracket. Make the holes large enough to countersink the screws so the heads are below or flush with the bracket surface. Use a cordless drill with screwdriver attachments to screw the mounting bracket to the wall.
AROYA Follow the steps listed in Table 3 to set up the AROYA Router Climate. Table 3 Router Climate (H111) Installation Grow light hanger (e.g., rope ratchet clip hanger) Tools Needed Chain/cable/rope Preparation Consider the Surroundings METER recommends installing the Router Climate in the center of each room of the greenhouse to facilitate quality communication to the Gateway. The Router Climate should be in an area where the environment is as consistent as possible.
OPERATION Table 4 H311 Sensor Station Installation (continued) Connecting Connect Router to Internet and Verify The Sensor Station is shipped to the customer in SLEEP mode, indicated by a solid red STATUS LED light. To wake the Sensor Station up, press the button (Figure 9) one, two, or three times to trigger the green LED. The device has enetered the ON mode when the STATUS LED shows solid green. NOTE: The unit toggles between ON and SLEEP mode after the button is pressed three times.

AROYA The Gateway operates using the following components: • Power over Ethernet (POE) module for continuous power • 2.4-GHz Bluetooth low-energy chip antenna Antenna Front/top cover (end cap) LED indicates active internet connection (flashing orange) NOTE: If the internet connection is slow, the light may flash green instead of orange. This also indicates active connection.
SYSTEM Back/bottom cover (end cap) Red LED indicates power status Antenna Figure 6 AROYA Gateway—back/bottom view 3.2.2 ROUTER (H110) AND ROUTER CLIMATE (H111) The AROYA Router/Router Climate receives data from the sensor stations and transmits data to the gateway wirelessly. The Router acts as a range extension for the network and funnels the data to the Gateway device. The Router operates on a Bluetooth Mesh network and relies on an active POE connection to supply power to the device.

The ATMOS 14, located in a radiation shield and attached to the Router Climate, collect microclimate data that is also transmitted to the Gateway. The radiation shield comprises a mounting bracket and seven discs.
