Ideally, before this sensor is installed, a hub needs to be installed and confirmed working - otherwise the sensor will deplete itself looking for a hub.
Check here the checklist for installation: Checklist for hardware installation
Check our instructions on tape here: Tabs Sensors installation guides
Datasheets can be found here: /wiki/spaces/SUM/pages/492584
After installation:
- Instructions on Quality Assurance for installation of motion and headcount sensors: Quality Assurance
- Configuration of Tabs sensors on Studio: Tabs (Tracknet) configuration guide
A huge chunk of the general introduction on Sensor Installation that has been presented during the Cobundu Summer 2021 Sessions was about Motion Tabs Installation, this is the recording: Summer 2021 Session: Sensor Installation

Workplace
Always check the detailed instruction in the Motion Tab Placement Guide.
If the situation you are facing deviates from these instructions/prerequisites, please contact Spacewell. Pictures / Drawings say more than a 1000 words.
1.Go to the workplace

- Sensor unpack & placement indication
- Take sticker from packaging and stick it to the sensor plan
- Remove sensor from packaging
- Tape placement
- Cap placement (different for "normal" vs "height adjustable" tables!): to install the cap on the sensor, just pull the strip, exposing the adhesive.
- Sensor placement
- underneath normal table (between 60-80 cm high (not height adjustable to standing table)): vertical/ downwards + perpendicular to table (short side sensor parallel to long side table)
- underneath height adjustable table: longest face of the sensor is parallel to the front of the desk and the lens facing downwards (long side sensor parallel to long side table)
Meeting room
Always check the detailed instruction in the Motion Tab Placement Guide.

- Sensor unpack & placement indication
- Take sticker from packaging and stick it to the sensor plan
- Remove sensor from packaging
- Tape placement
- Sensor placement on ceiling, in the middle of the room: perpendicular to room (long side sensor parallel to short side room)
Rooms under 4x4m (bubbles, phone booths, concentration rooms, ...)
Always check the detailed instruction in the Motion Tab Placement Guide.

- Sensor unpack & placement indication
- Take sticker from packaging and stick it to the sensor plan
- Remove sensor from packaging
- Tape placement
- Sensor placement on wall of the door, at the entrance of the room
- Mind that if the door opens to the inside, there might be a reflection on that door. It might be advisable to then place the sensor behind the door (assuming people close the door to start using this space – and thereby trigger the sensor).

Learning Objectives
After reading this article, you’ll be able to:
Verify what is needed for motion sensor installation
Define installation method depending on the use case
Watch out for mistakes that were made at other installations
Prerequisites
| Note |
|---|
Motion sensors connect over the LoRa network. Make sure you install your LoRa hub before installing the sensors (check out LoRa Gateways / Hubs installation guides for more information). |
Prepare your sensor plan (floorplan with dimensions and markings of where the sensors need to come) has been set up.
Verify you have everything to go on site: Checklist hardware on-site visit/installation
Make sure to communicate to the workplace users on site what is happening (change management).
Decide installation method depending on use case
Depending on the location/use case, the installation method will be different:
Workplace / desk placement, see Motion sensor installation at Workplaces
Sensor installation Tips & Tricks
Don’t place tape on the side with the QR code
Place the eye towards the seating area of the workplace or facing down the ground
Aim the eye facing down away from strong heating or cooling sources (fireplace, HVAC)
What happened before - don’t let it happen again…
Eye of workplace sensor very close against a metal stud
Meeting room sensor towards the door
Sensor on a movable table
Sensor below a chair instead of table
Sensor on top of the table
Sensors/touch point installation in a “construction” site
Cap opening turned towards the table instead of the feet
How to automate tabs sensor installation?
Spacewell and installer partners use the Scan-IT to Office app.
install "Scan-IT to Office" app on your phone
install Excel add-in your office environment
prepare an excel listing all the locations
scan all the motion sensors in the order of the locations from the excel (preferably "offline")
when you "come online", you import the data in your excel
| Note |
|---|
The app is free, but they regularly ask you to buy more features. They do this
