Page 3: Hardware Details
An Internet-of-Things (IoT) module is mounted on the top of the AWARE Flood Node and communicates to the sensor website that displays the data for the user. The IoT module comes preconfigured with either a cellular LTE-M modem or an iridium modem. - Page 4 WLP module can easily be replaced and at a lower cost than replacing the entire system. 4. South Facing Sunlight Availability – The AWARE Flood system was designed to operate for 10 days with our solar recharge on a full battery; however, considerations should be made when installed the AWARE Flood Node where ample sunlight is available year round to maximize solar exposure during winter when the days are at their shortest.
- Page 5 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – AWARE FLOOD NODE There are a variety of ways to mount the AWARE Flood system, including on T-posts, fence posts, and flat surfaces. Some of these installation steps may require additional commercial off the shelf (COTS) hardware, which are outlined in each subsection below.

- Page 11 The universal mounting plate was also designed to be mounted on flat surfaces using standard screws. The mounting plate has four ¼-inch oblong holes that will accommodate screws of almost any size or shape. Regardless of what flat surface onto which the AWARE Flood Node is mounted, the antennae should always be pointed skyward.

Secure the AWARE Flood Node to the mounting plate using the two Torx-head mounting screws provided. NOTE: The Torx T10 Screwdriver pictured above is NOT included in the AWARE Flood package.
- Page 13 This section details how to install multiple accessories with the AWARE Flood Node. It describes the installation process for two accessories (the Water Level Pressure Module and the Water-Resistant Camera Sensor) with more accessories coming at a later date. Ensure that the AWARE Flood Node is properly mounted before installing any accessories.
- Page 14 3. Bundle and zip-tie the excess sensor cable to the pole or surface to which the AWARE Flood Node is installed (T-post example pictured below). Additionally, the optional camera module can also be mounted using the same tools and screws as listed in the instructions for installing the AWARE Flood Node on a flat surface.
