12 The installation, demobilization, and data downloading procedures for both types of SmartSolo nodes – the IGU 16HR 3C Short Period Node and the BD3C-5 Broad-Band Node – are largely similar.
13
14 This uniformity in process ensures ease of operation across different node types, allowing for a streamlined approach in fieldwork and data management.

Sima Mousavi 18.2 56 **Site Analysis**:
57
58 * Conduct compass measurements away from the node and metallic structures, adjusting for inclination angle.
59 * Take multiple photographs from various angles to document the site setup thoroughly.
Sima Mousavi 18.3 60 * Include a detailed site description in your notes, specifying distances and orientations from nearby landmarks (e.g. Richards garden, Te Mini steam field eastern side)

65 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 layer of soil, but may struggle if the soil layer is too thick. The BD3C will not start recording without first attaining a GPS lock.
66
67 === **4- Visibility and Location Marking** ===
68
Sima Mousavi 18.2 69 **Flag Placement**: Position a flag, preferably in a bright color (avoid green or yellow), near the instrument to aid in its future location.
70
71 **GPS Marking**:
72
73 * Use a GPS device to mark the instrument's exact location.
74 * Record this location in both your paper notes and the GPS device.

Sima Mousavi 18.3 77
Sima Mousavi 20.1 78 * **Charging Duration**: Both types of nodes take approximately 6-8 hours to fully charge from a flat state.
79 * **Pre-Deployment Charging**:
80 ** Although the nodes hold their charge well, it's beneficial to give them a "top up" charge right before deployment.
81
82 * **Operational Duration**:
83 ** When recording at 250 Hz, with GPS on and Bluetooth disabled, the instruments are expected to last about 30 days per charge cycle.
84
85 * **Post-Retrieval Charging**:
86 ** Do not store the instruments with completely drained batteries.
87 ** After retrieval, charge the instruments to about 50-60% (indicated as "orange" level) for optimal battery health.
88
89 * **Storage and Shipping Charge Level**:
90 ** Maintain a battery charge level of around 50-60% for both storage and shipping purposes.
91 ** This charge level is recommended to prevent battery damage and is safe for transportation.

robert 7.2 470 Once you create the new project, your Data Transfer View panel on the bottom right of the window will show these nodes that have properly connected to the data harvest, including series number, data size etc. It is okay if the “Prospect not matched”, which simply means the project you just created does not match the one you made to program them. Simply select all these nodes, and right click to “force download”, which will initiate the downloading process. Once they are done, you will see new folders created for each slot at your Downloaded Data panel on the top left of the window.

robert 8.3 474 At this stage, it means that the raw DLL data of the recording has been downloaded successfully to your local machine. To output data in readable format, such as SAC or miniSEED, click the “Tool” menu and select “export seismic data”. The parameters here should be straightforward to set and tailored to personal reference.

483 **Furthermore you must also set "Remove Gain" to the same decibel gain setting that was set during programming! ANU always set this to 18 db (double check) for all types of nodes.**

485
486 A list of ANU group preferred parameters can be found at the end of this session. One thing to note is that the “Sample Interval” must be set exactly to this used to reset the nodes. Once you are done with the setting, click “prepare” before “run”. If everything works correctly, you should see the reformatting process from the small panel on the bottom left of this popped up window.
487
robert 7.2 488 Now the data should be ready. Then you can select these data and right click to output the GPS information associated with them.

492 When downloading, all the green lights on the nodes will blink. The associated red lights on the rack will flash when it is downloading, and make sure to disconnect the nodes before you unplug anything. Be careful: if the laptop goes to sleep, the download process will pause.

499 When downloading, ensure that all metadata is saved along with the file.

robert 8.1 501 Start and endtime: the system will automatically find the earliest time of the data and set that as the starting time. However, you can set the time a day earlier with a sharp start of 00:00:00. In this case, all the outputted data segments will be 24 hours long starting from midnight.

509 – 3 files per station per day

robert 8.2 517 == Cleaning ==
robert 8.1 518
519 If the nodes are placed in a thick plastic bag at the time of installation, the cleaning procedure should be straightforward. If not you have a lot of work to do before they are returned to us!
