Helionode Provisioning – INTERNAL PROVISIONING

Note: Before beginning the Helionode provisioning process, you will need the following components:

Flash Station PC
Atmel-ICE tool
Test CCU

Step 1: Powering and connecting the Helionode

Remove the Helionode from its box.

Remove the front face of the Helionode by twisting the side band of the device, and connect 24V power to the device as shown below:

Reattach the front face to the Helionode base, ensuring that the three plastic prongs line up with the bosses, and the two pin headers line up with their connectors, as seen below:

Step 2: Flash the Helionode

Turn on the power supply, then connect the cable from the Atmel-ICE tool to the small 10-pin connector on the side of the device:

The connection is polar; if the following step fails you may need to reorient the connector.

To flash the Helionode, the PowerShell terminal is used. If it is not already open, double-click the PowerShell icon on your desktop to open it.

In the PowerShell terminal, type the following command, then press enter:

.\helionode

Once you press enter, the terminal should begin to run the command, with the output reflecting this. It takes approximately four minutes for this flash to complete. Once you see the cursor reappear, the flash has completed.

Disconnect the Atmel-ICE cable from the Helionode.

Step 3: Testing the Smart Node

You should have a CCU prepared at your test bench for the following steps with a test floor and zone configured for pairing Helionodes.

You will also need to make sure that the white antenna in the bottom of the box is attached to the gold SMA connector on the side of the Helionode.

With the Helionode powered on, press the right button five times to cycle to the “Installer Options” screen. Use the down button to navigate to the “Pair to CCU” option, then press the right button to select the option. At this point the Helionode will enter Advertising mode and will display a unique MAC address.

On the Test CCU, select the “Pair Device” option to the right of your test zone in the “Zone Layout” screen. In the following screens, select the Helionode option, then select any profile option.

On the device list screen, select the MAC address of the device that you are provisioning. Note: multiple MAC addresses may be present if multiple devices are in advertising mode. The last four digits of the MAC address can be used to identify your device.

In the following window, enter the six-digit PIN from the display on your Helionode, then tap the green enter button. If the PIN is correct, you will be prompted with the Zone Configuration window. Scroll to the bottom of this window and tap “Set”.

On the Test CCU, return to the Status screen by tapping the dial icon in the upper right corner of the screen. You will see your test zone. Wait until it displays a temperature value from the Helionode – this will confirm that the communication between the devices is working. You may be able to expedite this waiting period by toggling between the Settings and Status screens.

Step 4: Factory Reset and Repackage the Helionode

If the pairing test was successful, you can now factory reset the Helionode. Press the right button five times to cycle to the “Installer Options” screen. Press the down button seven times to navigate to the “Factory Reset” option, then press the right button to select the option.
