ACKCIO TM-V3X0 Tiltmeter Node Instructions

Setting up your Tiltmeter Node (BEAM-TM)

This article will help you set up your Tiltmeter Node to work with the Ackcio Beam Gateway.

Before you get started

You will need to prepare the following items before commissioning your nodes.

• A Gateway with its Date and Radio settings configured
• A project created on that Gateway
• The BEAM-TM Node to be commissioned
• Batteries for your Nodes
  • Battery specifications
  • Size: D-type
  • Voltage: 3.6V
  • Capacity: 19AH
  • Type: Li-SOCl2 (Lithium Thionyl Chloride)
  • An Android device
  • The Accio Nimbus application for Android (Available on the Play store here)
  • An OTG adapter and Micro USB cable (provided by Ackcio)

Installing your Node

The Nodes can be directly affixed to a flat surface using M4 screws. For more sophisticated mounting scenarios, we would recommend using the node bracket.
The node bracket is used to easily mount the node on flat surfaces, pipes, and other more complicated settings. Please follow the instructions below to use the node bracket:

1. Fix the node to the bracket using M4 screws and nuts as shown
2. Use four screws and nuts to attach the node to the bracket
3. Connect the SMA antenna to the bulkhead. Once the mounting is complete, the node should appear as shown

Connecting your Android device to your Node

1. Connect the Node to your Android device using the USB Ensure that your OTG adapter is connected to your Android device as per the image below:
2. Open the Ackcio Nimbus application on your Android device and tap the Start button. This will bring you to the Project List page.
3. Tap on your project to select
4. Press the Reset button on the This will put the node into Pairing mode.
5. Within 10 seconds of the previous step, tap the Pair Node button on the Ackcio Nimbus Upon successful pairing with the node, you will enter the Node Setup page. At this point, the SYS LED on the node should stop blinking and turn solid.

Setting up your Node

1. On the Node Setup page in the Ackcio Nimbus application, tap on the Pen icon next to Node Enter a name for your node and hit Save.
2. Tap on the Pen icon next to Sampling Rate, scroll to your desired sampling rate and hit Save.
3. Tap on the Setup Sensor button to enter the Sensor Setup
4. On the Sensor Setup page, tap on Sensor
5. Tap the Save Sensor The Node will then take a reading from its sensor. The SENS LED on the node should start blinking at this stage.
6. To get another test reading, you can tap the Refresh Otherwise, you can then tap the Start Monitoring button to finish commissioning the node. You should see the SYS LED start blinking intermittently again after this step.

Syncing your Node settings with the Gateway

1. Once you’ve completed commissioning all your Nodes, connect your Android device to the Gateway’s Wi-fi
2. Enter the Setup Project page on your Ackcio Nimbus
3. Tap the Project Sync button to store all your Nodes’ configuration settings on the
4. Your node will then be commissioned and attempt to connect to the Gateway’s network, indicated by the SYS LED on the Node
5. Once the Node has successfully joined the network, you should see the SYS LED stop The Node will then start taking readings and sending that data to the Gateway at the scheduled sampling intervals.
