Please read and completely understand this user guide in order to make sure the safe and correct use of the system as well as maintain the longevity of the device. Protection provided by the equipment may be impaired if used in a manner contrary to this user manual. The antenna must be plugged in before any operation occurs. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Viotel Limited could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This product must not be disposed of in the normal waste stream. It contains a battery pack and electronic components and so should be recycled appropriately. 1.2 Theory of Operation The Vibrating Wire node is a low touch Internet of Things (IoT) device. It is designed to as simple as possible to install, plug required sensors in, activate, set, and forget. Data is retrieved from the device via our cloud-based platform or via API to yours using the integrated LTE/CAT-M1 cellular communications. The device also uses GPS for time synchronisation where comparison of events between nodes is required. The device is always monitoring for events, and can be continuously monitoring, or set to a triggered state and upload data in seconds. Remote configuration is possible to change the acquisition, calibration, and upload frequency.

All operations and LED indications refer to firmware version: 3.02.14, please be aware future states may change some functionality. TAP INSTRUCTIONS FUNCTION DESCRIPTION Tap once (while in Off) Current Status This will light up the LED indicating the current status that this system is in. Tap once (while On) Diagnostic The device will quickly record 10 data entries and upload them. Once this data has been logged, the device will return to its standard operation automatically. Tap once, Tap again within 3 seconds Upload and change status This will cause the device to initiate the upload and update sequence. In total, this process should take a few seconds to complete and then set the device automatically to a new status. Table 4 How to switch between states 3.2 System Status STATUS On Diagnostic Communicating Off DESCRIPTION In this status, the device will consistently record data given the user defined interval, check for firmware updates, monitor for user defined triggers and check for Magnet inputs (Part 4). This status will set the data recorded interval to 3 minutes and quickly record 10 entries along with GPS data. After approximately 30 minutes, the device will return to its On status automatically. The device is currently trying to communicate with the server to update firmware, load data and status information. The device will check for any wake-up commands, such as the Magnet (Part 3) or user defined data collection interval. Every 7-days, the device will initiate a connection to provide status updates and check for system updates. Then it shall return to a Off unless otherwise specified by the server.

Table 7 System Status Indicator USER MANUAL | 4-Ch Vibrating Wire V1.0 Page 11 of 13 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. Only service personnel authorised by the manufacturer may open the inner enclosure. No user serviceable parts are located inside. 4.1 Downloading Data The only way to retrieve data is over the cellular communications. This can be activated on demand using the Magnet. However, if the device is in the field and is unable to upload data, the device is programmed to keep trying in decreasing increments to conserve battery. If after 4 days of attempting to upload, it will reboot. Data is stored on non-volatile memory; therefore, it is stored when rebooted and after power loss. Data is deleted from the device once successfully uploaded. 4.2 Further Support For further support, please email our friendly staff at support@viotel.co with your name and number and we will get back to you.
