1 QUICK START GUIDE
Generally, we send devices pre-configured. If your devices are pre-configured by us, please go through
the user-friendly procedure to get started with your ER Beam system, which takes only a few minutes to
get the process rolling.
1 Power on Gateway and turn on its inbuilt Wi-Fi network.
2 Connect your Android phone to the ER Beam Wi-Fi network.
3 Connect the Android cable to the phone first using the OTG adapter.
4 Open the ER Beam Offline Android app.
5 Load the project and tap on it to go to the home screen of the app.
6 Then connect the Android cable's other end to the Node and click on Setup Device and follow the
wizard.
7 Repeat step 6 for all your Nodes.
8 Then press the Cloud Sync on the app to sync back all the Node settings to the gateway.
9 Now the Nodes will send the sensor data at the configured time intervals.
10 Optionally, the data can be exported and engineering conversions can be set using the Gateway
software.

2 SETTING UP WIRELESS RELAY NODE
This section provides information on setting up a Relay Node to work with the offline ER Beam gateway.
2.1 Installation
The Nodes can be directly affixed to a flat surface using M4 screws. However, for more sophisticated
mounting scenarios, we recommend using the node bracket. The node bracket can be used to easily mount
the node on flat surfaces, on pipes using U-bolts or cable-ties, or in other complicated settings.
If you are using the bracket, first fix the node device to the bracket using M4 screws and nuts as shown
below.
Use four screws and nuts to attach the node to the bracket (Refer to figure 1).
Connect the SMA antenna to the bulkhead. Once the mounting is complete, the node should look as in
figure 2.

2.2 Node Setup
1 Connect the node antenna to the antenna bulkhead.
2 Switch off the Node and insert the battery while ensuring the correct polarity.
2.3 Configuring via the ER Beam Offline App
1 Obtain an Android phone and connect it to the ER_Beam Wi-Fi network. (See the Gateway section to
learn about switching on the ER_Beam Wi-Fi network.)
2 Connect the Android smartphone to the Node via an OTG adapter.
NOTE: Please make sure the Node is switch off before connecting to your Android phone.
3 Switch on the Node.
4 Open the ER Beam app on the phone.
NOTE: You need to add the Node and create the project first before you commission the tilt
meter. Please refer to ‘Gateway Setup’ section in the users’ manual for Gateway for
details.

(ii) Press “Reset” button on the Node itself. Click on “Setup Device” on the menu (at the bottom of
screen), the app will show connected node information. If the connection is unsuccessful, press
“Reset” button on Node and connect again.
(iii) Optional Step: If Wireless Mesh (Relay) function is to be deployed, click on "Wireless Mesh" toggle
button to enable. Once done, click on “Network Test”.

(iv) After clicking ‘Network Test’, it will take you to the next page “Scanning Network” which will scan
the wireless signal strength (RSSI) between the Node and Gateway.
(v) Repeat above steps to configure other sensors connected to the Node.
(vi) Once all sensors are configured, click on “Enable Sensor” button. It will take you to next page
“Scanning Network” which will scan the wireless signal strength (RSSI) between the Node and
Gateway.

(vii) After receiving the Network Test information, if you need to, you can perform another network test
by pressing the button located at the lower right corner.
(viii) Next, click “Start Relay” button then the app will prompt, “Node commissioned”. Click OK.

(ix) Press the Project Sync button at lower right area to send all the configuration information back to
the gateway.
(x) If you would like to get the Node to immediately send a reading to the Gateway, press the “TEST”
button on the device’s printed circuit board as shown below.
(xi) For commissioning of additional Nodes, repeat the above steps.
