Introduction to the CogniPoint Sensor CogniPoint is an innovative sensor for smart buildings. CogniPoint uses computer vision algorithms to generate data and analytics that enable more efficient, convenient and cost-effective building management, by providing notifications, alerts and analytics to building management and control systems. 1.4. Overview: Installation and Commissioning These are the steps youll perform in order to plan your installation, and install and commission the CogniPoint sensors:
Planning the Installation:
Determine the CogniPoint usage scenario (managing meeting rooms, hot-desking, etc.). Obtain floor plans, ceiling and lighting plans. Identify Areas of Interest (AoIs) on each floor. Plan the device layout (number and placement of sensors). Performing a Site Survey:
Validate the floorplan layout and measurements (changes may have been made since the original plan such as new dry wall being installed, changes in furniture placement and so on). Validate the planned device positions (make sure the sensor view is not occluded, check the ceiling height, air vents, wiring/connectivity). Updating the Installation Plan:
If necessary, correct the device positions and AoIs according to the information gathered during the site survey. Determine required accessories (for example, adapters for cement ceilings, leg adapters for high ceilings, IT and electrical requirements, and so on). Update the floorplan in the CogniPoint Management System. Installing the CogniPoint Sensors: Install the CogniPoint devices in the ceilings and connect them to power sources. Activating the CogniPoint Sensors: In the CogniPoint Management System, link the physical devices to their logical representation in the system using an IR remote. Performing Sanity Testing:
Verify that each device is installed in the correct position and that you can view its AoIs. Verify that each device is connected to the right logical device. Verify that each device is providing the expected input to the system. 1.5. Hardware Components The CogniPoint installation kit contains the following hardware components:

Determining the CogniPoint Usage Scenario Before you can proceed to other planning stages, you must first understand the usage scenario for the CogniPoint system. This is usually determined by an integrated 3rd-party application that youre deploying in your building. The specific application dictates the requirements in terms of number and placement of CogniPoint sensors. For instance, if the application manages meeting rooms, youll need to install sensors in meeting rooms; if the application is hot-desking, youll need to install sensors above workstations. 2.2. Obtaining Building Plans In order to plan sensor placing and power sources, youll need to obtain the buildings floor plans, ceiling, network and electrical plans. 2.3. Defining AoIs Depending on the CogniPoint application, youll need to identify Areas of Interest (AoIs) on each floor. AoIs are the areas in which the CogniPoint sensors must detect person presence and counts in order to enable the applications operation. For example, for a hot-desking application, the AoIs need to cover all the workstations that must be managed as part of the application (one AoI for each workstation). 2.4. Planning Device Layout You will need to plan the CogniPoint device layout on each floor, according to the building plans you obtained previously. The number and placing of the sensor devices depends on the application and on the physical attributes of the installation space. You will need to install enough sensors to cover all the AoIs defined in the previous step. See Installation Position and Detection Area to learn more about how a sensors height affects its detection area. 3. Performing a Site Survey Even though you have obtained the building plans, you will need to perform a physical site survey in order to validate the floorplan layout and measurements. This is because changes may have been made in the building since the original plan, such as a new dry wall being installed, furniture being moved and so on. For each CogniPoint device you plan to install, make sure that the planned placement and adapters are compatible with the ceiling height, air vent locations, wiring and Wi-Fi connectivity. Check for any occlusions of the sensors detection area. 4. Updating the Installation Plan According to the information you gathered during the physical site survey, correct the planned device positions and AoIs if necessary. Determine which accessories youll need in order to perform the installation (for example, flat adapters for cement ceilings, leg adapters for high ceilings, IT and electrical requirements, and so on). In the CogniPoint Management Systems web UI, upload images of each floor plan. These images allow you to visualize sensor placement and AoIs, and display the sensors statuses in real-time. 5. Installing the CogniPoint Sensors 5.1. Installation Position and Detection Area The CogniPoint sensor is a ceiling mounted device. For optimal performance, the CogniPoint installation height above the floor should be between 2.5m (8.2ft) and 3.5m (11.48ft). The CogniPoint detection area is a rectangle with dimensions that vary according to the mounting height. The location of this rectangle is determined by the sensor placement and orientation. The specific orientation at which you install the sensor determines the rotation of the rectangle. The sensors orientation direction is defined as the positive Y axis direction of the detection area rectangle (see drawing below). There is a view direction marker on the back of the sensor module and on the inside of the adapters. Mounting Z=2.5m (8.2ft) Z>=3m (9.84ft) Height (Z) Detection X=6m, Y=4.5m X=8m, Y=6m Area

Installing on a Dropped (Drywall) Ceiling The recommended installation method for a dropped ceiling is to use the dropped ceiling adapter. The adapter requires drilling a 60mm (2.36) circular opening in the ceiling tile. To install a CogniPoint sensor using a dropped ceiling adapter and a DC or PoE power source:
1. Drill a 60mm (2.36) opening in the ceiling, at the required position. 2. Make sure the power is disconnected. Route the DC power wires or Ethernet cable through the ceiling opening. 3. Thread the power wires or Ethernet cable through the adapters top opening. 4. Connect the CogniPoint device in one of the following ways:
a. If connecting DC input, connect the two wires to the corresponding DC wire terminals. Make sure the polarity is correct. b. If connecting PoE or Ethernet, connect the RJ-45 plug, and route the Ethernet cable through the cable lead clips. 5. Mount the adapter into the ceiling opening, using the spring flaps. Make sure the view direction arrow is pointing in the desired direction. Make sure the device is secured to the adapter. 6. Use a leveling sticker to make sure the device is leveled. 7. If present, remove the lens cover. 5.3.2. Installing on a Structural Ceiling The recommended installation method for a structural ceiling (for example, for a concrete ceiling) is to use the flat ceiling adapter. You can also use this method may for a dropped ceiling, if you prefer not to drill a 60mm (2.36) hole in the ceiling. The flat ceiling adapter attaches using wall plugs (6mm/0.24 plugs are recommended). To install a PG1 sensor using a flat ceiling adapter and a DC or PoE power source:
1. Secure the flat ceiling adapter to the ceiling, using two wall plugs and two screws. When marking the screws positions, note the view direction arrow marker on the adapter and make sure it aligns with the required view direction (small adjustments can be made by rotating the adapter relative to the metal plate, before tightening the screws). 2. Route the PoE or DC power wires in one of the following ways:
a. Into the ceiling. b. In parallel to the ceiling through the adapter side openings. 3. Connect the power wires to the sensor module (see Step 4. in the previous procedure for details). 4. Mount the adapter into the ceiling opening, using the spring flaps. Make sure the view direction arrow is pointing in the desired direction. Make sure the device is secured to the adapter. 5. Use a leveling sticker to make sure the device is leveled. 6. If present, remove the lens cover. 6. Activating the CogniPoint Sensors In the CogniPoint Management System, link the physical devices to their logical representation in the system using an infra-red (IR) remote control device supplied by CogniPoint. To do this:
1. In the CPMS UI, select the logical device for pairing. The CPMS generates a One-Time Code (OTC). 2. Enter the OTC in the IR remote control and transmit it to the device. The device and CPMS complete a handshake that links the physical device with its logical representation within the CPMS. 7. Performing Sanity Testing After installation and commissioning of all the devices, we recommend a sanity test for each device in order to ensure that:
The device is connected to the right logical device. The device is installed in the correct position and you can view its AoIs. The device is providing the expected input to the system. To perform a sanity test on a device, physically enter the devices AoI and verify that the areas person count is increased, using the CPMS UI. Exit the AoI and verify that its person count is decreased.
