2.
Press the Select button once (which shows the number of
smart sensors installed) and then press it again to switch to
the module with the manager.
3.
Press the Search button (the magnifying glass). The
magnifying glass icon will blink while the station is in search
mode.
4.
Open the mote door and install the batteries if you have not
already done so.
5.
Press the button on the mote for 3 seconds. The signal
strength icon will flash and then cycle.
6.
Watch the LCD on the mote.
This process may take up to five minutes. The green LED
blinks quickly while the mote searches for a network to join
and then blinks slowly while it completes the network
registration. Once the mote has finished joining the
network, the green LED turns off and the blue LED then
blinks indefinitely while the mote is part of the network.
Note:
If the mote cannot find the network or has trouble
remaining connected during this process, make sure the
mote is in a vertical, upright position and within range of
the station.
7.
Press the Search button (the magnifying glass) on the
station to stop searching for motes.
If you added more than one more mote to the network, then
the total channel count on the station LCD for the manager
module will represent all measurement channels plus a battery
channel for each mote in the network.
Sensor measurements will be recorded at the logging interval
specified in HOBOlink, transmitted to the station, and uploaded
to HOBOlink at the next connection interval (readout). Use
HOBOlink to monitor mote status and health. If a mote is
temporarily offline, any logged data is saved until it is back
online. In addition, if a mote is offline for 30 minutes, the
station will automatically connect to HOBOlink and report the
mote as missing. Once the mote is back online, any logged data
will be uploaded the next time the station connects to
HOBOlink.
See the HOBOlink Help for details on how to change the logging
and connection intervals, view data, check mote status, add the
mote to a map, and more.
Deployment and Mounting
Mounting and Positioning the Mote
•
Mount the mote to a mast or pipe using cable ties or affix
the mote to a wooden post or flat surface with screws.
Insert the cable ties or screws through the holes on the
mounting tabs.
•
Consider using plastic poles such as PVC to mount the
mote as certain types of metal could decrease signal
strength.
•
Make sure the mote remains in a vertical position once it
is placed in its deployment location for optimal network
communications.
•
Make sure the mote door is closed, with both latches fully
locked to ensure a watertight seal.
•
Consider using a 3/16 inch padlock to restrict access to the
mote. With the mote door closed, hook a padlock through
the eyelet on the right side of the door and lock it.
