After reading this article, you’ll be able to:

  • install Tabs motion sensors in Meeting Rooms

Prerequisites

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 you sensor plan (floorplan with dimensions and markings of where the sensors need to come) has been set up.

 Calculate the number of sensors needed to cover the room

  1. Calculate the prerequisites:

    1. Ceiling height should be between 2,15m and 4m

    2. Length to be > 4m OR Width > 4m

    3. When coverage of 1 sensor is exceeded, multiple sensors are needed

  2. Check the room against the prerequisites. If the prerequisite “coverage of 1 sensor” is exceeded, multiple sensors must be installed: please contact Spacewell Implementation Consultant

Verify you have everything to go on site: Checklist for hardware installation

Sensor installation

If the situation you are facing deviates from these instructions/prerequisites, please contact Spacewell. Pictures / Drawings say more than a 1000 words.

 1. Location check

  1. Go to the meeting room

  2. Check the height of the meeting room

    1. Ceiling height between 2,15m and 4m

    2. Length > 4m OR Width > 4m

 2. Check the room against the prerequisites

If the prerequisite “coverage of 1 sensor” is exceeded, multiple sensors must be installed. Contact your Spacewell Implementation Consultant.

Below example uses measures for height 2.5m

 3. Check the room for obstructions
 4. Sensor preparation: unpack

  1. Sensor unpack & placement indication

  2. Take sticker from packaging and stick it to the sensor plan

 5. Sensor preparation: tape placement

  1. Remove sensor from packaging

  2. Tape placement

 6. Sensor activation

Remove the plastic strip to enable the sensor battery

 7. Sensor placement

Sensor placement on ceiling, in the middle of the room: perpendicular to room (long side sensor parallel to short side room)

 Examples
 Exceptions (when prerequisites not met)

‪If prerequisites are not met, contact your Spacewell Implementation Consultant to check if it is possible to install the sensor, perhaps with a different placement.

‪If sensors are not placed according to Spacewell guidelines, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

‪

‪Overview exceptional situations

‪1. Obstruction in the middle of the room

2. ‪In following examples, it’s not possible to capture individual presence in a meeting room. Depending on what is required, headcount sensors could provide a solution.

Deploy sensors in Workplace Platform

Quality Assurance

Next step is the Quality Assurance to make sure that the whole installation and configuration of your Motion sensor was a success. See Tabs Motion Sensor quality assurance

After triggering the sensor you should see values for each sensor that is linked to a location in the live floorplans (for example in touchpoints Workplace web (Go) and The Workplace App), and Workplace back-end Studio’s Sensor Management.
