ThinkNode Manuals & User Guides

ThinkNode is a specialized brand of IoT and wireless communication devices manufactured by Elecrow. The product line focuses heavily on Long Range (LoRa) technology, offering outdoor solar-powered nodes, indoor LoRaWAN gateways, and multifunctional portable trackers equipped with GPS and power bank functionalities.

ThinkNode devices are widely used for decentralized mesh networking projects such as Meshtastic, providing reliable, off-grid communication in remote or outdoor environments. Built with durability and versatility in mind, ThinkNode products feature customizable hardware like the popular M-series transceivers and G-series gateways.

• How do I reset the ThinkNode-G1 gateway to factory settings?

  Press and hold the gateway's setup button for 20 seconds to trigger a factory reset and software reboot.

• Are ThinkNode solar panel products waterproof?

  They have an IP65 or similar waterproof rating suitable for outdoor use, but they are not suitable for underwater use. Avoid using high-pressure water guns to rinse the equipment.

• Why does the ThinkNode M4 power bank stop powering external devices at 13% battery?

  It stops outputting power at 13% to reduce overall energy consumption and maintain stable wireless communication via the LoRa module. The charging output reactivates once the battery is recharged to 25%.

• How do I know if the ThinkNode M4 device is charging wirelessly?

  The LED indicator will show a steady blue light when wireless charging is in progress.
