Loadsensing Device Configuration

Ideally, this step of the process should be carried out in the same location where the node is

going to be installed. This way, users can perform an on-site radio coverage test.

The node configuration process is done using the Worldsensing app, known as the Loadsensing

App, which is compatible with any Android device equipped with OTG technology (OS Android

HoneyComb 3.1 or higher required). WorldSensing has tested Motorola Moto G4 and G5 and

ensures that they are able to configure and test all nodes.

Loadsensing App starts up once the device has been connected to the node using the USB-OTG

cable. Manual startup is not necessary.

When a new version of the app is available, DLog will automatically display a message.

The whole configuration process does not take more than five minutes and, from that moment,

the node will start taking readings and sending data to the Gateway.

Safely Closing the Device

The wireless laser tiltmeter has undergone watertightness testing by an external laboratory

and has been given the following ratings:
