This document provides an association guide for the Solem BL-NR device, which appears to be a Bluetooth-enabled irrigation or automation module. The guide outlines the steps for downloading the companion app, installing batteries, configuring the device, and re-associating it if needed.

Function Description

The Solem BL-NR is a Bluetooth Smart V4.0 compatible module designed for irrigation or automation control. It allows users to manage and configure the module wirelessly via a smartphone or tablet using the SolemWF application. The device facilitates the control of various "WF Modules" and "BL Modules" as indicated in the app interface. Its primary function is to enable remote management of connected accessories, likely for watering schedules or other automated tasks, through a user-friendly mobile application. The module is designed for easy battery installation and a straightforward setup process, including naming the device and optionally setting a security key for protection against unauthorized access.

Important Technical Specifications

• Connectivity: Bluetooth Smart V4.0. This specification ensures low-energy consumption for battery-operated devices and compatibility with modern smartphones and tablets.
• App Compatibility: Requires the SolemWF V3.1 minimum App, available on both the AppStore (iOS) and Google Play (Android).
• Internet Requirement: The device requires an internet connection (Wi-Fi or 3G minimum) on the controlling device (smartphone/tablet) for initial setup and potentially for app updates or cloud-based features, though direct Bluetooth communication is used for device control.
• Power Source: Battery-operated. The guide illustrates the process of installing a battery, emphasizing correct polarity.
• Identification: Each module has a unique identification number displayed on a label at the backside of the product, which is used for association with the app.
• Security: Supports an optional 7-digit security key to protect the device from malicious neighbors and unauthorized control.

Usage Features

• App-Based Control: All configuration and control of the BL-NR module are performed through the SolemWF application on a smartphone or tablet.
• Easy Setup Process:
  • App Download: Users must first download the SolemWF app.
  • Bluetooth Activation: The app prompts users to activate Bluetooth on their smartphone or tablet if it's not already enabled, redirecting them to the device's settings.
  • Device Selection: Upon launching the app, users select the BL-NR module type from a list of available modules.
  • Association: The app displays a list of discoverable BL-NR modules by their unique identification numbers. Users select the number matching the label on their device to initiate association.
  • Naming: Users can customize the name of their BL-NR module within the app for easier identification, with a maximum of 7 digits for the name.
  • Security Key: An optional security key can be set during the initial association to prevent unauthorized access. If set, this key must be entered to associate or re-associate the device.
• Status Indicators: The app provides visual feedback on the device's connection status (e.g., "disconnected," "connected").
• Re-association: The guide provides clear steps for re-associating the BL-NR if needed, which involves selecting "Add a module" in the app and repeating the association process.
• Scheduling and Manual Control: Once connected, the app allows users to schedule irrigation or automation tasks, change device names, and perform manual station operations.

Maintenance Features

• Battery Installation/Replacement: The guide details the process of removing the green cover and sealing cap to install or replace the battery, stressing the importance of respecting polarity.
• Battery Replacement without Re-association: If the battery is replaced after the device has already been associated, there is no need to redo the association. Users simply need to wait 2 minutes for the product to initialize with their phone.
• Forgotten Security Key Procedure: If the security key is forgotten, the association process needs to be restarted from the battery installation step (point II of the procedure). This involves disconnecting the battery, waiting 10 seconds, and then reconnecting it before attempting re-association. This effectively resets the device's security state, allowing a new association to be established.
• Physical Access: The design allows for easy physical access to the battery compartment by removing a green cover and sealing cap, which also likely protects the internal components from environmental factors.
