Make sure to check PointGrab hardware and network requirements prior to sensor installation.

Create a sensor plan before going on site, so that all parties are aligned on PointGrab installation location.

Physically installing PointGrab™ sensor devices

After defining the sensor layout with your Spacewell Consultant, you'll need to install the physical CogniPoint™ sensor devices on the ceiling. The sensor layout that you defined determines the location, height and view direction of the sensors, and you must make sure that you install the sensor devices according to the defined specifications.

To physically install a CogniPoint™ sensor, use following steps.

Option 1: Powered + connected to the network using Power over Ethernet

Step 3. Connect the sensor to the Power Source

Connect the RJ-45 plug and route the Ethernet cable (RJ-45 (Cat 5e cable or better)) through the cable lead clips.

Only Shielded LAN cable should be used

Open

Step 5. Removal of Lens/Sensor Cover

Once the sensor is installed it is important to remove lens/sensor cover (Lens cover of full sensor cover is dependent on production batch). Failing to do so will seriously effect sensor functionality.

Open

Option 2 and 3: Powered using “DC power” or PoE + connected to the network using WiFi

Preparation steps (can be done beforehand)

You will need:

• WiFi-network name + password (password is not saved, but we generate a PSK = hashed combination of password + network)

• Advanced IP scanner (free software)

• Power for the PointGrab, either PoE-injector or DC power (12-24V power)

  • Pointgrab version 1 (shipped with white package) DC Input: Connector/cable type = 2x Terminal Connector, 12-22AWG (Wire gauge 1.5mm2 / 15AWG); Power rating: 12V-24V

  • Pointgrab version 2 (new package design is colored red; serial number that starts from 3000040) DC Input: Connector/cable type = USB-C; Power rating: 5V

• Router or similar to connect the laptop and PointGrab to the same network + PoW injector or external DC power for the PointGrab sensor

• Package with config software for PointGrab:

Configuration of PointGrab on your WiFi network

What do do when your network is not password protected, but devices are whitelisted by their MAC address?

How to extract the MAC address and configure the PointGrabs:

Quality Assurance

Without the sensor being configured in the Pointgrab and Workplace Platform, there is not much you can check.

If the sensor has already been added to the Pointgrab Platform, Pointgrab connection lights should not be blinking or giving any color. If there is a light, check PointGrab troubleshooting.

Next steps

After the sensor installation, your Spacewell Implementation Consultant will follow the PointGrab configuration guide, and then will follow the Quality Assurance Occupancy and Utilization Sensorinstructions.

In case you encounter any issue with your devices, don’t hesitate to check PointGrab troubleshooting.
