1. For best practice, use the mounting points on the node to install it near your monitoring location.

2. Attach the probe to rebar using zip ties ensuring the probe does not touch the reinforcement.

Viewing the status

1. Navigate to the Inventory tab in the mobile app to view the status of your hub and nodes.

2. Hubs and nodes will present as either Online or Offline.

3. Nodes will also display pour name, tail name, and last data update time.

4. To navigate to the temperature and strength data for that last tail, simply tap on the relevant node.

How to reuse your Helix Node

When a pour is complete and it no longer needs to be monitored:

1. Remove the tail from the node. Simply pinch and pull the connector (no need to twist).

2. Cut the tail at desired length.

3. Put the node into Sleep mode by fast pressing the push button 5 times (to conserve battery).

For information on registering and installing your hub see Helix V1 or V2 pages.
