AQUAVIGIL DESCRIPTION AND SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
AquaVigil description:
AquaVigil has been designed to provide highly accurate tank monitoring for up to 4 water tanks on properties where access to WiFi is not available, and where traditional low-range sensors – such as those that utilise Bluetooth – are not suitable.
Easy Setup:
AquaVigil is easy to configure. The steps to follow are outlined below:
Tank Sensors
- Ensure the bottom of the tank is clear of all debris
- For each tank which requires monitoring, unwrap the pressure sensor and install into the tank, allowing at least 1 meter of cable exiting the tank to allow the sensor to be connected
- Connect the pressure sensor to your solar powered AquaVigil sensor – the connector will only allow connection in the correct polarity
- The sensor will allow for 5 days of low or no solar before the sensor will lose power, therefore please place the sensor in a position where it will receive an adequate amount of sunlight each day
- Take note of the “Hardware Address” which is on the label at the bottom of the sensor. This will be required to configure your AquaVigil base station
- Ensure that the Antenna is installed before proceeding (do not power the Sensor on without an Antenna connected!)
- Turn the Sensor on via the switch
- Repeat the above steps for each tank which requires monitoring
Base Station
- Connect the Base Station to any USB power supply which has a USB-C connector
- The Base Station will power on into the “AP Mode” [Access Point Mode]
- Using a WiFi enabled device, connect to the WiFi network named “TankMonitorAP”
- The default password is “password” (do not use quotes)
- Connect a Web Browser to http://10.0.0.1
- The Base Station will invite you to configure your local WiFi network
- Once configured, the Base Station will reboot and display the IP address assigned by your router
- Point your Web Browser to the IP address shown on the screen and then configure each Sensor in the “Config” page, using the Hardware Address from each Sensor
- Ensure that the Base Station is in an area where it will be able to receive data from each Sensor
Note:
- Do not adjust LoRa Configuration without being instructed to do so
- NTP – default settings can be utilised; please modify if required for your network
- TimeZone – update to the TimeZone that suits your location
- Configure the Alerts and Tank size to suit your tanks
