Overview

The FlatMesh System

A FlatMesh network consists of a number of nodes connecting to one gateway device. In some situations multiple networks may be required on a single site, for example a site in which the number of nodes exceeds the number supported by a single Gateway, or a site where there are a set of separate measurement zones.

A FlatMesh Node is a sensing unit with an integrated wireless mesh radio and battery. It participates in a FlatMesh wireless network, forwarding messages as required by the system, and also takes samples from onboard and/or external sensors. Sampling is done on a periodic schedule which may be either fixed or variable. In addition, a sample may be manually requested via the Gateway.

FlatMesh Nano / NanoPlus / NanoMacro Nodes

The FlatMesh Nano family contains a high precision triaxial tilt sensor. This sensor measures the orientation of the node relative to the direction of gravity using a MEMS accelerometer.

Installation

The nodes will be delivered to you pre-configured. Simply affix the nodes to a structure within the range of the rest of the network.

Mounting

There are several mounting options available, including those designed for:

  • · clamping to a structure using straps
  • magnetic mounting · gluing to any surface
  • fitting to an M8 threaded socket
  • fixing to a FlatMesh tilt beam kit

Ensure that the fixing is secure to ensure that tilt measurements are representative of the structure.

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.
