Step 2: Setup the Converge Hardware

Now you have set up your login to the Converge platform it’s time to set up your sensors, repeaters, and nodes on-site, to start collecting data on your upcoming pour.

Hub setup:

Your hub relies upon having access to 110V or 230V mains power and mobile phone signal to transmit data back to the cloud. We recommend your hub is located somewhere with a clear view of the sky, that has good mobile reception.

We have found on the tower crane can be a good location, but not too high, mobile phone reception gets worse above the 40th floor. 

Repeater setup:

Install repeaters to boost the signal of nodes, each repeater should have line of sight back to the node(s) it is getting data from. 

Where multiple repeaters are needed, each one needs to be within 30m of the previous one. Because repeaters are always on, their battery life is around 6-8wks so keep an eye on their battery level and swap them out where necessary. 

Node Setup:

You'll need to locate your nodes close to where you wish to take measurements. The sensor cables are 3m long and 10m extensions are available for extra flexibility. 

We recommend placing nodes up out of the way, off the floor, to avoid damage during the pour.
