Warnings Warning Protection provided by the equipment may be impaired if used in a manner contrary to this user manual. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device must accept any interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired operation Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Senceive Limited could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Chapter 1 Overview 1.1 The FlatMesh System A FlatMesh network consists of a number of nodes connecting to one gateway device. In some situations multiple networks may be required on a single site, for example a site in which the number of nodes exceeds the number supported by a single Gateway, or a site where there are a set of separate measurement zones. A FlatMesh Node is a sensing unit with an integrated wireless mesh radio and battery.

Die cast aluminium body IP68 (1m for 24 hours) Plates and brackets available for magnetic fixing, track bed, stake and pole mounting, and many other applications -40°C to +85°C 1.2.
CHAPTER 1. OVERVIEW 3 1.2.4 Tilt Sensor Specification Resolution Repeatability (-IX variant) Repeatability (-IXH variant) Range 0.0001° (0.00175mm/m) ±0.0005°(±0.0087mm/m) ±0.0025°(±0.
Chapter 2 Installation The node will be delivered to you pre-configured. Simply affix the node to a structure within the range of the rest of the network. 2.1 Mounting The node must be securely mounted to a structure with at lease one tilt axis orientated in the desired monitoring plane. Warning The Triaxial Tilt Node with brackets could have a mass of up to 1.5kg. Please ensure that the object you are fixing to can handle this load.
Chapter 3 Data Readings 3.1 Tilt Readings The tilt readings are provided in degrees (°) and the range of each axis is ±90°. The angle of each axis is relative to the gravity vector. If the axis is pointing straight down it will be aligned with the gravity vector and will return a reading of -90°. If the axis is inverted and points straight up, the reading will be +90°. An axis that is perfectly horizontal/level will return a reading of 0°.
Chapter 4 Maintenance The product should not require any maintenance after installation. If the need to clean the product should arise, use only a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use any solvents as this may damage the enclosure. Warning Only service personnel authorised by the manufacturer may open the enclosure. No user serviceable parts are located inside.
Chapter 5 Support 5.1 Troubleshooting - General FlatMesh Nodes are sealed units so checking of devices is confided to visual inspection, checking of connections and measurement of basic device parameters. 5.1.1 No new data from node Check if other nodes on the same gateway have been updating The FlatMesh Gateway operates a store-and-forward system. It collects data from nodes on its network all the time, and then periodically establishes a connection to the Web Monitor to transfer data.
CHAPTER 5. SUPPORT 8 Check that the antenna is tight The antenna connects to the node through a threaded SMA connection. This should be tightened by hand against the connector on the enclosure. If this connector is loose, the node’s signal strength and therefore its ability to connect to the network will be significantly impaired. Check that the antenna is correctly oriented The antenna’s orientation can also impact its ability to connect to other nodes.
