AWARE Flood Timing Diagrams
The AWARE Flood Node is capable of three reporting modes and two sampling modes. In addition to these
reporting modes, if any of the user-defined alarm thresholds have been met, the system will report
immediately.
By default, the AWARE Flood Node will report in an automated mode to preserve power and maximize
operation during extended weather events that prevent the unit from solar recharge. In auto mode, the data
will be reported every 10 minutes when the battery voltage is 5 V or greater, and every 1 hour when the
battery voltage is 5 V or fewer. Both depth detection and rise/fall rate alarms can occur in any sampling or
reporting mode. Upon detection of an alarm, the unit will send data immediately. If the water-resistant
camera module is installed, then the unit will capture an image of the alarm state and send the image
packet following the data packet.
A diagram of the reporting and sampling timing, as well as the flash flood detection timing, is shown in
Figure 1.
