Step-by-Step Instructions for Setting Up the Canaan Avalon Q

1. Preparing the ASIC

Before plugging in the Avalon Q, it’s critical to check your home’s power infrastructure:

Eco Mode and Standard Mode work with a typical 15-amp 120V circuit. Super Mode draws over 1800W and needs a 20-amp 120V circuit.

Using Super Mode on a 15A circuit may trip the breaker or damage your outlet. Ensure no other high-power devices share the same circuit when using Super Mode.

2. Configuring the ASIC

Plug the Wi-Fi dongle into the USB port at the front of the Avalon Q.

Insert the C19 power cable into the power socket at the rear.

Plug the other end into your wall outlet.

Wait for the unit to boot up. LEDs will begin flashing.

3. Accessing the Avalon Q via the Mobile App

Download the Avalon Family app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).

Open the app, tap the menu icon, and select Add New Device.

Tap “Search” to find the Canaan Avalon Q

The Canaan Avalon Q will appear. Tap to connect.

Enter your Wi-Fi SSID and password and hit Save.

The device will reboot and connect to your home network.

4. Adding the Mining Pool

Once connected, navigate to Settings and click Pool config.

Fill in your mining details as: Pool 1 solo.ckpool.org:3333, Worker [YourBitcoinWalletAddress].
Canaan Avalon Q, Password x.

Pool 2 (backup) – solo.ckpool.org:3333.

Pool 3 (alternate) – btc.viabtc.io:3333.

Solo Mode toggle should be ON if solo mining. For pool mining, turn it OFF.
Tap Save, input your password, and the miner will reboot.

5. Start Mining

Once rebooted, the Canaan Avalon Q will start mining automatically.

You can choose your power mode (Eco, Standard, or Super) in the app.

Eco Mode runs around 750W and is suitable for 15A circuits.

View your hashrate and power consumption directly in the app or on the unit’s screen.

Filter cleaning is easy. Just pop off the side panel and slide out the intake filters.

If moved to a new location or Wi-Fi network, you’ll need to factory reset the device using the rear reset button (hold for 5 seconds).
