A Import / Export Restrictions i Warnings Warning Protection provided by the equipment may be impaired if used in a manner contrary to this user manual. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device must accept any interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference re-
ceived including interference that may cause undesired operation Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Senceive Limited could void the users authority to operate the equipment. This product must not be disposed of in the normal waste stream. It contains a battery pack and elec-
tronic components and so should be recycled appro-
priately. In accordance with the WEEE guidelines, customers in the European Union may return the product free of charge for recycling at the end of its life. Contact your supplier for details. ii Chapter 1 Overview 1.1 The FlatMesh System A FlatMesh network consists of a number of nodes connecting to one gateway device. In some situations multiple networks may be required on a single site, for example a site in which the number of nodes exceeds the number supported by a single Gateway, or a site where there are a set of separate measurement zones. A FlatMesh Node is a sensing unit with an integrated wireless mesh radio and battery. It participates in a FlatMesh wireless net-
work, forwarding messages as required by the system, and also takes samples from onboard and/or external sensors. Sampling is done on a periodic schedule which may be either fixed or variable. In addition, a sample may be manually requested via the Gateway. 1.2 FlatMesh Nano / Nano+ Nodes The FlatMesh Nano family contains a high precision triaxial tilt sen-
sor. This sensor measures the orientation of the node relative to the direction of gravity using a MEMS accelerometer. Note Readings can be scheduled anywhere between two seconds and twelve hours with a time increment of one second, but it should be noted that the repeatability of the measurements are poorer when used at reporting rates faster than 10 sec-
onds. 1 CHAPTER 1.

signed for:
clamping to a structure using straps magnetic mounting gluing to any surface fitting to an M8 threaded socket fixing to a FlatMesh tilt beam kit Ensure that the fixing is secure to ensure that tilt measurements are representative of the structure. 4 Chapter 3 Maintenance The product should not require any maintenance after installation. If the need to clean the product should arise, use only a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use any solvents as this may dam-
age the enclosure. Warning Only service personnel authorised by the manufacturer may open the enclosure. No user serviceable parts are located inside. 5 Chapter 4 Support 4.1 Contact Information For assistance and support, contact your supplier or the manufac-
