Installation Guide – AWARE Flood System
Powering On / Initialization Sequence
Now that all the modules are installed and plugged into the node, it’s time to power on the AWARE Flood
system. Follow these steps to power on the AWARE Flood Node and begin the initialization sequence
1.
Move the AWARE Flood Node power
switch (recessed inside of the plastic
slot to deter tampering) to the right and
into the “ON” position using a flat head
screwdriver. An LED light will appear
once the Node is powered on.
2.
Upon start-up, the AWARE Flood Node will
run the following initialization sequence:
a.
Battery Status Check
– The LED will illuminate
a solid GREEN if the power is adequate or a
solid YELLOW if it needs to be recharged. Unit
can be recharged just by sitting in the sun in the
off state.
b.
Automatic Calibration
– The LED will begin
flashing after calibration is completed. A
flashing GREEN indicates that calibration
successfully completed during this or a previous
power on initialization. A flashing YELLOW
indicates that calibration failed.
c.
GPS Synchronization
– The LED will continue flashing the same color that resulted from the
automatic calibration.
NOTE:
The GPS will continue to attempt to sync date, time, location, and elevation for a minimum of
5 minutes up to a maximum of 30 minutes. While in most cases GPS sync will happen in the
minimum time of 5 minutes, some locations may provide more challenging conditions and take
longer.
In some situations, if a sync takes much longer than 5 minutes, it is best to leave and check if the
sync was successful remotely. If the location data from the sensor is not displayed on the website,
then the GPS may not have synched and the sensor may need to be relocated. The LED will no longer
be illuminated once the initialization sequence is completed. If GPS has not synced after 30 minutes,
the node will record its internal time stamp to the server during its first packet transmission.
NOTE:
In sunny conditions, the LED may need to be viewed head on to see what colors are
illuminated. In the event that you cannot see the LED sequence, the unit can simply be rebooted to
confirm the LED status throughout the initialization sequence.
