General description 2.1 HIKOB Wireless sensor network acquisition system The LION is one of the elements that constitutes the HIKOB wireless sensor radio network. This system is a set of wireless sensors doing multi-point distributed measures in various domains. These sensors radio transmit their acquired data to the GATEWAY, possibly via LION routers, depending on environment constraints for radio transmission. This local radio network operates in the 2.4GHz ISM bandwidth and implements the standardized IEEE 802.15.4e protocol. The GATEWAY provides the user with these acquisitions through its embedded software: NETPULSE, which makes the interface to any TCP/IP network. HIKOB systems cover data acquisitions such as vehicle detection for controlled traffic or parking management, various measurements in civil engineering structures from stress gauges to crack/inclinometers, and vibrations from industrial machines for diagnostic purpose, providing tools for predictive maintenance for example 2.2 LION 2.2.1 Overview Figure 1 External view of LION LION is a wireless and energy autonomous router for the HIKOB radio network operating in the 2.4GHz ISM bandwidth. It levers the radio coverage both in terms of range and signal quality. It relays bi-directional information: from any HIKOB sensor to the GATEWAY and vice versa. Its antenna is embedded in the casing, as well as its solar panel providing the source for rechargeable batteries. The LION casing is water resistant with an IP67 protection: it is Page 6 Installation guide INSTALL_LION-V6 2019/01 Edition suitable for outdoor installations. Should you decide to perform cleaning tasks on the GATEWAY, dont perform high pressure cleaning, prefer wiping with a dry cloth, or with a neutral agent. It is delivered all assembled, ready to be fastened on a pole or a wall with provided accessories, please refer to the Installation section for details. 2.2.2 Interfaces LION, has a red LED that allows to know its state:
At start-up: the LED lit 2s continuously 4 seconds after start-up, Connected to the HIKOB network: 1 beep every 2 s, In search of a HIKOB network: 2 beeps every 2 seconds, With the battery, low (not connected to the network and not seeking to connect): 3 beeps every 2 s, LED position into the LION LION is also equipped with a magnetic switch, allowing its restart. Positioning of the magnet for restarting the LION Once the magnet is passed over the switch, the LION restarts. Page 7 Installation guide INSTALL_LION-V6 2019/01 Edition 3.

Installation 4.1 Overall methodology Installing an HIKOB radio network requires a good topology analysis of your site to maximize radio transmission quality by optimizing positions and numbers of HIKOB nodes in the network. A preliminary study done with your vendor determines elements that will constitute your HIKOB radio network acquisition. Draw a site map: position your stationary sensors on parking places for WISECOW-P;
on the way where passing vehicles should be controlled for WISECOW-T; where road temperature have to be measured for WISECOW-W; and so on with other sensors types. Then you can determine the number of routers you need for your network following these rules:
The maximum distance between buried sensors and the GATEWAY is 30m. The maximum distance between a LION and a GATEWAY, varies between 50 and 150m, depending on the terrain topology. A GATEWAY hosts 100 elements in all, and 30 as direct children in the multi hop radio network. The LION, the HIKOB router hosts 16 sensors or other routers. For good radio transmission, both GATEWAY and LION need to be installed on elevated spots, around 5m high. You will have better signal transmission with routers close to sensors and far from other routers or GATEWAY. Keep In mind that RF waves quality heavily rely on the environment they propagate in. Identify the most distant sensors, and zones where you suspect waves will propagate painfully, like having metal or concrete obstacles in the way. The GATEWAY provides useful user information to appraise the radio signal quality between elements of the HIKOB network. Refer to section Radio quality link in the NETPULSE manual for that. With a system based on a GATEGAY LITE, useful information to appraise the radio signal quality between elements of the HIKOB network are available into the NETPULSE APP product. Page 9 Installation guide INSTALL_LION-V6 2019/01 Edition 4.2 LION Mounting procedure The LION is delivered ready to be installed, batteries are charged, so it is useable right away. As its emplacement is already determined by the site pre-study, the following sections explain itself, and recommendations for final adjustments. the mounting procedure Respect safety rules working at heights when installing the LION: use an elevating work platform, and appropriate PPE. Once installed at heights, the LION remains in place, and is not reachable by unqualified staff. a. Installation accessories The LION is delivered with all accessories needed for a good installation. This is a set of 3 elements:
A clip coupled with a female thread screw. It hosts the mounting bracket of the LION. The clip is then screwed on the articulated arm. An orientable arm with a plane base that can be screwed on a wall. An optional strapping support for round poles. You screw the base of the arm on the support, and you fasten it on round elements using the strapping method adapted to your environment. In the picture below, plastic clamps have been used. Support. Clip Arm Support b. Mounting procedure For mounting on pole:
- Locate the installation location of the router
- Insert the clamp into the holes provided in the flat base of the arm.
- Secure the arm with the clamp on the support post.
- Screw the clip on the arm.
- Clip the router onto the arm.
- Orient the router correctly (serial number downwards and solar panel up) Page 10 Installation guide INSTALL_LION-V6 2019/01 Edition For wall mounting:
- Locate the installation location of the router and mark the four mounting holes for the plate.
- Drill the four holes, insert the anchors appropriate to the nature of the support.
- Attach the plate to the wall with four screws.
- Repeat the above procedure in step 4. Figure 2 HIKOB LION installed on a pole. c. Radio and exposure considerations: orienting well the router:
From your elevated spot, you position the LION to have a good radio coverage and enough radiation on its solar panel:
The radio antenna is located right behind the brand sign HIKOB engraved on the top transparent lid. The radiation pattern are 2 flattened lobes in the orthogonal direction of the solar panel plane: this determines the zone where emissions and receptions will be the most effective, see figure. The best orientation for the solar panel is where solar radiation is the most powerful, and you have best results the whole year with a southern exposure and a 60 slant to the horizontal line. Page 11 Installation guide INSTALL_LION-V6 2019/01 Edition Figure 3 Orientation For the best compromise, choose a good radio coverage rather than the best exposure for the solar panel: the LION is designed to run with 1 hour of sunshine a day, and is autonomous 2 months in total darkness. Consider as well specific radiation patterns of the sensors involved in your HIKOB network, that is, WISECOW have conic ones. So, in that case, orient the antenna towards the ground. Page 12
