**Freight update, 2026: **Freight options for lithium-ion batteries are changing in 2025/2026 to comply with updated transport safety regulations. This will impact supply of IGU 16 (<100Wh) and BD3C (168Wh) nodes. Advice will be sought from freighters on a case-by-case basis while they implement new guidelines.

= **Programming Defaults** =

25

26

The nodes must be programmed in the SoloLite software prior to use. The screenshots below show our recommended parameters for the 5 Hz (16HR-3C) and 5 second (BDC3-5) nodes.

27

28

[[IGU16HR-3C programming screen set at 250 Hz. Ensure circled areas are set!>>image:5Hz_node_programming.labels.png||alt="IGU-16 3C programming screen"]]

[[BD3C-5 programming screen set at 250 Hz. Ensure circled areas are set!>>image:5S_node_programming.labels.png||alt="BD3C-5 programming screen set at 250 hz. Ensure that the circled areas are set!"]]

31

32

33

FIFO (first in, first out) data mode is safest as this will overwrite old data in case you forgot to clear the storage. At <= 250 hz you can fit 4++ months of data on these, shouldn't be an issue.

34

35

Note that the samplerate is instead given in sample spacing, in milliseconds. 4 ms = 250 Hz, 1 ms = 1000 Hz, 10 ms = 100 Hz, ad nauseam.

36

37

Be sure to set the channel types to Seismic and the gain appropriately. For active source (i.e. explosions) you can leave the gain at 0, but for passive experiments some gain is purported to be helpful (although we have found this to be somewhat negligible). We can confirm that 6db for the broadband nodes and 24db for the short period works well.

38

39

If you want recording to begin immediately, ensure that begin date is in the past by at least a few days. If you prefer to have a timed turn-on, then set the times as needed. **Be warned that recording will not begin until a GPS lock is achieved, so if you set it to a future turn-on but bury it too deeply, it may not record!**

40

41

In newer versions of the software there is a "power consumption" setting.. we are no sure what this does exactly, but the manual says it gives life a "boost" at the expense of about 3 db of resolution. Until this can be quantified a bit better it is not recommended.

42

43

Storage type can be DLD (proprietary) or Miniseed. We assume the software works best with their proprietary format so prefer not to risk any issues. You can export to miniseed later.

44

45

GPS is best set to cycle mode (e.g. once per hour) instead of constant "always on". The clock drift on these are almost nil even if there is no sync at all, so it's best to conserve power.

46

47

Bluetooth (BD3C-5 only) should be turned OFF to conserve power.

48

49

We recommend that the 16HR-3C be set to a gain of 24db for passive experiments and no higher than 250 Hz sampling rate unless there is an explicit reason to do so. The BD3C-5 should be set to a gain of 6db (which is the maximum allowed) for passive experiments (or 0 db if active).

50

51

52

**Note that any applied instrument gain must be removed when exporting (e.g. to miniseed) after your deploy, **otherwise amplitudes will be a factor of either 15.84893192 (24db) or 2 (6db) too high!

== Magnets ==

If you are short on magnets, you may find it easier and a lot cheaper to buy magnets in Australia. AMF Magnetics is a good retailer, and [[this item>>https://magnet.com.au/collections/shop?q=23012B]] seems to work well. It is also advantageous to use smaller magnets and store/carry them individually in your back pocket (as well as stick them to various places in your field vehicle, etc).

69

70

== Animal-Proofing ==

71

72

We have experienced interference from animals (foxes, dogs, goats) digging up and carrying nodes off for tens or hundreds of metres. It is helpful to minimise human and food smells (particularly on the rope handles) when working in areas where this is a risk. Or, wipe down affected nodes with 50-80% methylated spirits if extensive handling can not be avoided.

73

74

If you come to collect your node and it is missing~-~- LOOK FOR IT! It may not have gotten far. We have found dozens of nodes by spending 15 minutes looking for them.

= External Power =

Both the 5Hz IGU-16HR and 5s BD3C-5 can be optionally powered via external battery via either a replacement bottom half (the 5Hz nodes) or a battery cable accessory (BD3C-5) using standard lead acid batteries from 9-36v. We have done preliminary testing at 250 Hz with a 12v battery:

79

80

- BD3C-5: ~~2 days of recording per 1 Ah

81

82

- IGU16-HR 3C: ~~3.5 days of recording per 1 Ah

83

84

- IGU16-HR 1C: ~~7 days of recording per 1 Ah

85

86

Of course, these can also be fit with a solar panel & charge controller which would then theoretically keep them going indefinitely (limited only by the disk storage, which at 250 Hz could be on the order of 12 months).

**Site Analysis**:

* **Take compass measurements away from the sensor as it will affect your measurement. Use a stick or shovel to help align.**

115

* Take photographs from various angles to document the site setup thoroughly. Have a colleague stand next to it pointing at it.

116

* Include a detailed site description in your notes.

117

118

== 3. GPS Considerations ==

119

120

(% class="wikigeneratedid" %)

121

The GPS antenna is at the top and center of the unit, and will (usually) only receive signal with a clear sky view directly above. The signal is able to penetrate plastic and terracotta planters and a thin (2 cm?) layer of soil, but may struggle if the soil layer is too thick. **These nodes will not start recording without attaining a GPS lock** and repeated attempts will excessively drain the battery.

122

123

== 4. Visibility and Location Marking ==

124

125

**Flag Placement**: Position a flag, preferably in a bright color (avoid green or yellow), near the instrument to aid in its future location.

**GPS Marking**:

* Use a GPS device to mark the instrument's exact location. Most modern cell phones can get to about a 3m error with their internal GPS also; you can probably also get away with investing a few dollars in a good app that shows error and lets you log markers.

130

* Also write the GPS down on paper (ie your [[LOG SHEET>>http://auspass.edu.au/field/NODES_blank_fieldlog.pdf]]).

133

134

* **Charging Duration**: Both types of nodes take approximately 6-8 hours to fully charge from a flat state.

135

* **Pre-Deployment Charging**:

136

** Although the nodes hold their charge well, it's beneficial to give them a "top up" charge before deployment.

137

138

* **Operational Duration**:

139

** When recording at 250 Hz, with GPS on and Bluetooth disabled, the instruments are expected to last about 30 days per charge cycle. If they are set to run only overnight, this can be extended to 60 days.

140

141

* **Post-Retrieval Charging**:

142

** After retrieval, charge the instruments to about 50-60% (indicated by ORANGE LED) unless they are to be immediately re-deployed or transported.

143

* **State of Charge (SoC) for Storage**:

144

** Maintain a battery charge level of around 50-60% (i.e., ORANGE) for storage.

145

** This charge level is recommended to prevent battery damage, and should be checked every six months.

146

** Nodes should //__not be stored at full-charge (GREEN), or 0-charge (RED).__//

147

** Storage at 0-charge damages lithium batteries**.**

148

* **SoC for Transport:**

149

** Charge levels for transport will be advised by the freighter. The required SoC will depend on volume and transport method (air, land, sea).

== 6. Data Sharing and Metadata Creation ==

)))

**GPS Data**:

* Ensure you have __carefully documented__ precise lat/lon locations for each station.

**Photo Sharing**:

* It is strongly encouraged to take pictures of each site and upload these to a shared platform (OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.).

**Metadata File**:

* Create and organize metadata according to the [[ANU metadata standard txt file>>attach:example_metadata.txt]]. This is going to be particularly important if you are reusing nodes at different sites... not documenting the serial numbers (of the **top half** of the node) and the times they were deployed can lead to station mix-ups.

== Connection tips: ==

271

272

Connecting SmartSolo nodes to their harvesters and having SoloLite recognise them can be a bit tricky, here are some tricks to help register and program them easier:

273

274

* Place the node on the harvester gently, then firmly press it down onto the pins.

275

* Place all nodes onto the harvester before trying any troubleshooting, as they may not show up while the SoloLite software is running. Once all are connected, try restarting the software for them to be recognised.

276

* If a node is refusing to connect, try it with another slot. It is easiest if you place all 16 nodes on the harvester, and swap any nodes that refuse to connect with each other.

277

* Nodes will likely not show up in the order that they should, though this is not an issue. E.g, a node in slot 6 on the harvester may show up in port 13 in the SoloLite software. Annoying, but it doesn't matter so long as you keep track of what's been harvested!

== Node Registration and Software Setup ==

282

283

1. (((

284

**Registering Nodes in the System**:

285

286

* To begin, register the nodes in the system so the software can recognize them.

287

* Navigate to the installation folder of “SmartSoloApps SoloLite”.

288

* Right-click on deviceconfig.exe and choose “run as an administrator”. Save the file to the “deviceconfig” directory (refer to the snapshot below).

289

* To avoid double registration, replace the file each time you register a new node.

* Open the “SoloLite” software.

295

* Go to “File” and create a new project. Don't worry about finding the exact 16 nodes used in script writing.

296

* Ignore the settings for seismic recordings in the subsequent window. Resetting instruments (e.g., sampling rate, gain) requires reprogramming via script.

)))

== File structure ==

There are essentially three main folders where relevant PROSPECT and PROJECT DATA is stored. Individual projects will be found as subfolders in these.

=== SOLOLITE ===

This folder stores SoloLite config files and parameters. Nothing too important stored here, you can always start over and re-create this.

=== DCCDATA ===

This folder stores the RAW data you have harvested from the nodes. The data will still be on the nodes (unless you erased it) in case of emergency, but regardless, this is the folder you want to back up and save somewhere.

310

311

If you had a weird time harvesting a node, you can always manually copy it as if it were a USB stick and place it into this folder manually. The structure is: //C:/DCCDATA/prospect_name/project_name/SERIALNUMBER/label(usually a timestamp but can be anything)//

312

313

Then in the SoloLite software, go to tools > Reanalyze Seismic Data

=== SOLODATA ===

This folder stores **exported** (e.g. miniseed) data. It is structured similarly. If your DCCDATA is intact, this can always be re-created if need be.

354

355

Not so much a //bug// as much as "a thing that can happen if your SoloLite installation is corrupted". If you notice your data has large constant time offsets, you should suspect that the number of leap seconds has not been accounted properly. There is a file "smartsoloconfig.xml" that needs to be present in "C:\SmartSoloApps SoloLite" (e.g. the main program directory) that dictates the leap second offset for the last two data ranges. Since 2017-01-01, this is 18 seconds. At some point in the next few years it will be 19 seconds.

356

357

If this file is missing, just create a new one structured like so, name it "smartsoloconfig.xml" and put it in your main program directory. Then, Reanalyze your data (tools > Reanalyze seismic data) and your data should have the correct time. You can also do this manually, if you want. The offset is 18 seconds precisely.

We are aware that there are various different published responses for these instruments and trust very few of them. One has to be careful with how polarity is handled between groups as well, and if one is working in integer counts (the ANSIR default) or mV (unclear why anyone would use this as it makes file sizes enormous). The response information published below is in **counts** and seems to fit well in huddle tests. Note that the response is the same for all channels and all units (e.g. there are no bespoke calibrations!), all appear to be sample rate insensitive, and the IGU data has been inverted (multiplied by -1) as described here: [[5Hz Node Polarity Issues>>https://auspass.edu.au/xwiki/bin/view/Data/AusPass%20Data/#HSmartSoloNodePolarityIssues]]

Above 0.5 Hz, the BD3C-5 response fits well:

Below the corner frequency (0.2 Hz) the phase response still fares well, but amplitude response may need to be dialed in a bit (it seems a bit high). In the next two figures the filter is **0.1** to 5 Hz:

== IGU-16 Horizontal noise & how to avoid ==

476

477

The** 5 Hz nodes** are susceptible to horizontal noise due to the placement of geophones in the units, **but this can be mitigated by completely burying the units flush with the ground.** In the below example, the node was set on the floor of our basement set on its plastic carrying case support. As such the amount of horizontal noise noticeably increases above ~~ 10Hz.

(% class="wikigeneratedid" %)

482

The BD3C-5 nodes do not have this issue:

= **Cleaning** =

When assembled, the nodes are water resistant but not submersible. They can handle a good spray and wipe-down. A stiff plastic brush is helpful to reach areas between the metal spikes on the bottom.
