Learning Objectives

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

  • Install VergeSense sensor

After successful VergeSense gateway installation, you can now start sensor installation.

Place and set up up to 50 VergeSense sensor devices clustered around the gateway. The sensors will automatically set up a mesh network to connect to the gateway and each other.

The maximum distance between the gateway and the nearest installed sensor should be no more than 10 meters.

Unboxing - content

  • VergeSense sensor, with 2 magnets on the bottom

  • Bottom plate which can be used to install without the magnets

  • Bag with installation equipment depending on the ceiling type

Preparation

As soon as the gateweway connectivity has been confirmed, activate the sensors by pulling the plastic strip.

On the top of the device, an LED inside of the sensor will show all the colors from the rainbow and then turn off.

Please the sensors face up (as in the above picture) as close to the gateway as possible.

Configuration on VergeSense Platform

As soon as the sensors are activated, link them to the relevant areas in the VergeSense platform as described in the VergeSense configuration guide.

It takes some time for the sensors to connect and send the first data to the VergeSense platform, so we found that time was optimized when we first configure on the platform, immediately followed by the installation.

Installation

Refer to the sensor plan, in which VergeSense made a suggestion of where to place the sensors (see VergeSense installation location).

Ideally, use the magnetic placement. This allows for easy repositioning if needed.

If magnetic placement is not possible: it’s possible to tape or screw a sensor in the ceiling.

  • Bags (containing screws and other install material) come with the devices.

  • Exchange the Bottom plate (with magnets) for the reserve Bottom plate that come with the devices, for easy installation without the magnets

Make sure to check with your Spacewell Implementation Consultant and VergeSense consultant when you’re not using magnets: once a hole is drilled, it’s very difficult to reposition afterwards…

Commissioning

As soon as the installation is done, inform VergeSense through the Notes function on the /wiki/spaces/KB/pages/492301.

The sooner the mapping is done, the sooner VergeSense can confirm or give feedback in the commissioning phase, and the sooner you can take a follow-up action.

Next steps

Configuration on Workplace Platform

Only after commissioning (per location) is finalized, data will be send to the Workplace Platform. See VergeSense configuration for more information about this next step.

Quality Assurance

After sensor configuration, follow the Quality Assurance Occupancy/Utilization Sensor instructions to make sure all use cases are covered.
