3. Introduction and Intended Use

This manual describes the necessary safety precautions and gives a brief overview of the

functionality of the Nest Case, which is a part of the STRYDE Nimble System. The STRYDE

Nimble system is a seismic acquisition system for professional use, and the Nest Case is used to

recharge the batteries of the Nodes and Initialisation Device in this system. For operation and

detailed description of the entire system, please refer to the STRYDE Operation Support

Product File.

4. Product Overview

The Nest Case is a charging and data harvesting device that is used to charge up to 90

Nodes simultaneously (or a reduced number of nodes and some Initialisation Devices). Nest

Cases can be combined to charge additional nodes, the Nest Case should only ever be

operated indoors. The rack is powered by a single-phase supply.

Recharging of the Node battery and harvesting of the seismic data is performed by loading

the Nest Case Shelf with 90 Nodes. The Nodes are then charged wirelessly using the QI

charging standard. The rate of charge is regulated by an Integrated Circuit on the Node and

will automatically cease once the battery charge reaches a pre-determined level.

Data harvesting is performed by a 1Gbit Ethernet connection, which is initiated by using the

monitor and peripherals connected to the STRYDE System Case, loaded with the appropriate

STYDE software, and connected via ethernet to the Nimble System.

The Nest Case are not available for consumers to purchase and are only sold to limited

number of industrial customers who will have to sign confidentiality agreements before gaining

access to the product and documents.
