Halo Node installation
●The Node is the “Brain” of the Halo system and is the bridge that enables the
communication to the Endpoints while connected to the internet either via wifi or
Ethernet Cable. 
●The main function of the Augury Node is to transfer data back and forth between
the Endpoints and the Augury backend. The Node enables data to be uploaded
from the Endpoints and to the backend to download configurations and “Over the
Air” (OTA) updates to the Endpoints.
●The Node is installed only as part of a full Augury Halo system installation, by
certified Augury installers.
●To become a certified Augury installer you must complete the Augury training
and understand the safety and technical limitations of the system and the
installation sites.

Node Installation stages
Stage 1 - Locating optimal Node location
1. Find a uncluttered location in the room at preferably 1.5m (5ft) above the ground 
2. Between the Node and the Endpoints the communication is with BLE technology. The
distance between the EP and node should not be more than 80m (260 ft) (max -
textbook) with as clear as possible line of sight between the Node and each of the
Endpoints.
3. Sufficient BLE signal strength should be validated with the BLE signal strength feature in
the Augury Halo installation App.
4


4. The Node must be in the range of the WiFi coverage either from the previously installed
router or local infrastructure. (> 2 MBPS Upload recommended. > 0.75 MBPS Download
at a minimum)
5. Only use certified WHITE NODE ANTENNAS  (5/7 dBi Outdoor Dual Band Omni Antenna
Kit- Manufacturer, Trendnet PN: TEW-AO57- Version 1.0R). Supplied in the node Box.
6. The Ethernet port can be used for internet connection as well
7. Locate or have an electrician install a safe and approved power outlet 100-240VAC
Stage 2: Physical mounting
1. Locate the exact location of the node On the wall. Make sure the antennas fit and the
cable reaches the outlet.
2. Avoid locations where there are machinery passing.
3. Although the IP66 rating which protects from heavy showers and water jets, It is
recommended to try and avoid locations with heavy water or rain.
4. Try installing the node while ensuring the antennas are vertical
5. Scure the the “Wall mount bracket” to the wall- use at least 2 screws.
6. Make sure the “Wall mount bracket” are leveled and aesthetically spread out on the wall.
The Goal - have the same height and equal distances between HW components.
7. Secure the cables as neat as possible - zip ties.
8. The power cord must be connected to a socket-outlet with earthing connection.
9. Use Power strips/surge protectors anytime multiple devices are connected to one outlet.
10. Outdoor - Installing powered devices outdoors requires the outlet to be covered.
a. Avoid the elements as much as possible - if there is shade or wind blocking use
it.
b. Outdoor outlet covers also known as “In Service” covers should be installed to
prevent water from shorting out the device. These outlets are generally protected
with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). It may be local (at the outlet) or it
may be a breaker located in an electrical panel. Make sure you are able to reset it
if it happens to be tripped. These are quick and easy to install with basic hand
tools, check out this video for a demonstration.
11.Fastening to steel columns
a. Steel columns can be challenging for traditional self-drilling metal screws.
5


b. Instead, drill a thru hole and use a standard bolt/nut arrangement.
c. A lock washer is also a good idea to prevent anything loosening and falling

leaving hotspot mode)
○ Net name and password.
○By default the Augury cellular network is defined.
Node configuration
●In the installation APP
●Recognize the Node by serial number
●Define
○a node descriptive name
○Location - the node’s physical location

location to make it easier to find for future
remediations
Stage 4: Mapping helo Devices
See flow In the installation APP section
Node On going Use:
There is no reason to touch the Node unless there is something wrong or an on site update
is needed
Node Troubleshooting:
Indications for a Node problem can come from:
1. The Augury IOT management platform will send an alert
7


a. the the node has not been online
b. Low connection quality (wifi ro BLE)
2. The node LEDS are either off
3. Internet LED is red

Troubleshooting of not seen Node
1. Look at the LEDs
2. If the Internet (center LED) is red
a. Check the internet connection and if the router is on
b. Resetting the node may be required - disconnect and reconnect the power
3. If the LEDs are off
a. Confirm the node is plugged in and the power supply is active.
b. If the node still does not turn on - contact support.
Troubleshooting of low internet connectivity
1. Check Antenna connections
2. Check if there is anything blocking the line of site between the Node and router
Troubleshooting of EP connectivity issues
3. Check Antenna connections
4. Check if there is anything blocking the line of site between the Node the EPs
Node Remediation:
1. Recognize the node by Serial Number


4. Indoor installation in Power Plant
●Nodes within line of sight
●The cellular connection strength was weak due to the attenuation produced by
the large metal and concrete building. Ultimately these routers were relocated to
improve the signal strength and wireless repeaters were utilized to extend the
WiFi coverage

