Place the module on a firm surface, far from
flood-prone areas. It is recommended that the
module be mounted on a wall with the fixing
holes on the upper part.
Once the module has been mounted, connect
the power cable (17) to the module’s power
supply input (9) and the transformer to a
110~230VAC outlet.
With this connecon made your module is
powered and the LED indicator (13) should
start to blink. You also now have power availa-
ble on the Power output connector (1).

Twist the bare wire together and trimm it
with a cung tool so that when it is inserted
into the plug it is not exposed and does not
cause bad contact with other cables.
To remove a wire from the plug, use a pin to
press the hole associated to each cable
located at the surface of the plug. Finally, pull
the cable out of the hole to remove it.
Connect your actuators (OUTPUTS) in the

on the soware without the need to re-wire the
system.
Never connect sensors to the OUTPUTS and

Connecon to GroNode
Make sure GroNode is correctly installed and
accessible through the GroLab Soware, if
not follow the instrucons provided inside
the GroNode’s manual.
Aer installing TankBot, open the GroLab
Soware, establish connecon with GroNode
and then, access Modules through the main
menu.
Usually 2 or 3 minutes are enough for GroNo-
de to detect a newly installed module. Aer
being detected, it automacally appears in
the Modules menu under the respecve
module type secon. You can check the list of
modules of same type on the right side of this
menu.
Note that one GroNode supports a maximum
of 4 modules of each type.

Problems or losses in
communicaon
GroNode was designed to communicate with
the other modules through radio frequency
signals. The range of acon is 25 meters (82
feet) indoors and 100 meters (328 feet)
outdoors depending on space condions.
Access the Modules menu on the GroLab
Soware and check if your modules are availa-
ble. If they aren’t available or they are
experiencing communicaon losses, it is
possible that you have exceeded the distance
between your modules and GroNode.
Inside the Modules menu, you can find a
wireless signal icon that indicates if the
selected module is connected to the GroNode.
NOTICE: Some load-bearing walls and electronic devices
may interfere with the signal.

If the problem persists, perform a test run by
placing the module next to the GroNode and
check the module’s communicaon status
through the soware. If communicaon has
been successfully re-established, repeat this
operaon at different distances unl you detect
the maximum communicaon distance.
If the module is not found at all, try to cycle the
GroNode through all the available communica-
on channels unl you find your modules,
allowing 3 minutes between channel changes.
To change the communicaon channel, open
the GroLab Soware and connect to the GroNo-
de. Inside the Main Menu (Configuraons), go
to Sengs (GroNode) → General Sengs Tab.
Click the buon in the lower right corner to
enable eding and change the communicaon
channel to the desired channel. To apply the
changes, click the green buon in the lower
right corner.
If aer following the previous steps your modu-
les sll don’t show up on the GroLab Soware,
please contact our technical support.

UPDATES
Firmware Updates
Keep in mind that some soware updates
will require updang your devices’ Firmware.
All updates will provide crucial improve-
ments, ensuring your system’s performance.
