1.2 Page 15 of 19 ELARA technical specification 10. Basic configuration Like many Galooli devices, the Elara comes with two types of configuration setups FW installation & a configuration file. The FW file is a .bin format file, and is installed using the proprietary PowerCenter program The configuration file is .GIB format (Text), and can be configured via the proprietary PowerCenter program or via any standard editor program Connecting SD & SD card reader:
We recommend using a micro SD card, class 10 with at least 8 GB storage memory Use a standard micro SD card reader at least USB 2.0 protocol After connecting the Micro SD card to the computer, make sure to format the SD card to remove any potential computing errors. Confidential Release Date:

1.2 Page 16 of 19 ELARA technical specification Open the SD card and create two entities for the Elara to process the information properly. A folder named VERSIONS (with capital letters) In the VERSIONS folder, place the FW file that you wish to burn on the Elara A configuration file, named ELARA.GIB text file Note:
The FW file inside the VERSIONS folder has to be named ELARA with capital letters, the Elara will only read from this file during the burning process and will disregard any other files named differently in that directory Once the SD card is set up correctly, connect it to Elara in the second level in the SD card slot Connect the Elara to a power source +12[V] and to one of the RS-485 ports Confidential Release Date:

Global Configuration Acc. Sensitivity three settings Low, Medium, High Network settings Server, APN, User & Password RS-485 port 1 & 2 4 Modes:
Binary communication with computer Power Center Host Communication with Other sensor over RS-485 Gateway Terminal Routing info such as Modem/GPS/Eth/BLE via port 1/2 6 Route modes:
None, Port1, Port2, Modem, GPS, Eth, BLT Properties, these are the basic configuration settings There are seven buttons available on the configuration tab:
Edit Add Item Remove Add Trap Add Port-1 Device Add Port-2 Device Add ETH Device Allows to edit the groups properties Adds a property in a specific group Removes the whole group
Adds a sensor through the first RS-485 port Adds a sensor through the second RS-485 port Adds a sensor through the Ethernet port How to upgrade the FW version of a unit:
Insert wanted FW version in SD card VERSIONS Connect Elara the PowerCenter Click on the [Manual Burn]
Wait for the [Elara IAP burn] message following a reset Note that his process will finish after a ~10 [sec] delay following a [reset]
Confidential FCC WARNING This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
