Node installation should occur after your Gateway is powered and online. They are powered by the included outlet power adapter by default, but other powering options are available since many 3rd party sensor require more power than the Node itself can provide. Nodes should be mounted with the Attune Mounting Backplate for optimal functionality.
Connecting Sensor Bridges
The Large Attune Node can connect to 3x sensor Bridge for data acquisition. To access an already installed Bridge or connect a new Bridge the Node must be opened by undoing the screws in the front.
Once the node is open, the Bridge is slotted into any of the 3 connectors of the internal PCB as shown below. Wires from the sensor should be connected to the Bridge ports as necessary. To complete installation, replace the Node cover and feed the wires through the openings of the Node cover.
Configuration
Sign in to your account at my.senseware.co to configure your Node. You can configure the settings of your site from the installation tab. Sensor specific settings can be configured in the module configuration tab; the Site name, module locations, channel names, and conversion functions can also be configured in the module configuration tab. The Node, like the Gateway, can also be remotely reset in the module information section of the System Status by clicking on the Reset button.
Signal Quality Mode
Pressing the button on the node twice in rapid succession places it in signal quality mode. In this mode, the LED on the node will flash different colors, and at different speeds, to indicate the signal quality.
To return the node to regular operation, press the button once.
Diagnostics
When the Node is not in Signal Quality Mode, the status LED will blink in different colors depending on the status of the node:
