Use Instructions

Node

Instructions for Use

Bespoke magazines and backpacks are used for lifting and carrying the Node in the field. In

the hub, there are jib cranes available that should be used for lifting and moving trays of

Nodes.

The Node shall be inspected for damage when retrieved from the field. Units with broken

housing shall be clearly marked on the top cap so they are easily identified when placed in a

magazine. To avoid water ingress in the cleaning process, such damaged units shall be

decommissioned when returned to the hub.

The Node shall only be charged in chargers specifically designed for the STRYDE system.

Charging shall be done away from flammable materials, and a fire extinguisher shall be

within reach for emergency use.

7. Storage and Maintenance

In general, the Node should be stored in the magazines designed for the STRYDE system.

Magazines are assembled into trays, and trays can be stored on top of each other. Long-term

storage areas should be clean, cool and ventilated, and large amounts of Nodes should be

kept in storage containers at a safe distance from other structures.

When placed in cardboard boxes with plastic packaging material, e.g. for shipping, the Node

shall be deactivated to avoid self-heating.

Regular maintenance charging of Nodes in storage is not necessary.

8. Transportation

The product contains one single Li-Ion battery cell and is classified as UN 3481 Lithium ion

batteries contained in equipment. For in-field transportation, Nodes should preferably be

placed in magazines/trays and be properly secured in the vehicle. Personnel should not be

transported in the same compartment as Nodes.

3rd party transportation shall be according to IATA PI967, section II or IMDG/ADR SP 188

where these regulations apply. Approved shipping agents familiar with dangerous goods

transportation shall be used.

There is currently no maximum charge requirement for shipping Li-Ion cells in equipment, but

they are less likely to cause an incident at low state-of-charge. Hence it is suggested that

when shipping large quantities, the Nodes should have as low charge level as convenient.

9. Faults and repair

Except from firmware upgrade via the optical interface, the Node is non-serviceable and shall

never be disassembled by unauthorized personnel.

The product is equipped with a light emitting diode which, when activated, sends out red light

clearly visible through the clear plastic cap. If a red blinking pattern or steady light is

observed in the field, it may indicate the unit is in a fault situation. Such units should be

removed from operation for further investigation by authorized service personnel.
