It detects ultra-wideband (UWB) pulses emitted by wireless tags (Ubitags), allowing the 3D position of the tags to be found. The use of UWB technology enables greater positioning accuracy than other wireless technologies, because it is much less susceptible to multipath interference effects. Applications of the system include healthcare, workplace productivity, security, retail management and manufacturing. This document describes the features and specifications of the UBISENSOR30V1, important regulatory information concerning its use, and details on how to diagnose potential problems. Regulatory Information for the United States of America The UBISENSOR30V1 is approved under Part 15.249 of the FCC rules:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for the grant of equipment authorization issued by the FCC could void the users authority to operate the equipment under the grant of equipment authorization. IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This device complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The device has been evaluated as safe to use at any separation from the person.

Figure 1 UBISENSOR30V1 Front Figure 2 UBISENSOR30V1 Rear Ubisense Ultra-wideband Location System UBISENSOR30V1 Revision D Optional dust cover
(attaches with four screws) Figure 3 UBISENSOR30V1 optional dust cover The optional rear dust cover may be used for installations where the sensor needs additional protection from the environment. The cover may be fitted with suitable cable glands where the cables exit from the cover on the bottom surface. Installation and Operation Instructions For complete operating instructions, please visit www.ubisensedimension4.com Mounting options The UBISENSOR30V1 has three mounting holes in the back of the case, to which external clamps and brackets can be attached. The two outer holes are M4 size, the middle hole is M6 size (and can be used in conjunction with a standard photographic camera mount). Powering the UBISENSOR30V1 The UBISENSOR30V1 must be powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE). This is normally done by connecting the unit to a network using a PoE switch. However, it is also possible to use mid-span injectors if desired. Setting up the UBISENSOR30V1 The UBISENSOR30V1 must be entered into a configured Ubisense DIMENSION4 dataset. See www.ubisensedimension4.com for instructions on how to set up a dataset for your environment. Each UBISENSOR30V1 has a unique MAC address, which can be found on the label on the rear of the unit. By entering the UBISENSOR30V1 in the dataset, and configuring it to account for the desired system setup, the correct tracking performance can be achieved. See www.ubisensedimension4.com for full instructions on how to configure UBISENSOR30V1 sensors within the dataset. Switching on the UBISENSOR30V1 To turn on the UBISENSOR30V1, simply turn on the power to the device. The status LED on the front of the unit should illuminate, and the device will begin to attempt to contact the Ubisense location system dataset (which should already have been installed on your network see www.ubisensedimension4.com for details). Ubisense Ultra-wideband Location System UBISENSOR30V1 Revision D Calibrating the UBISENSOR30V1 When the UBISENSOR30V1 has been installed in its final location, its position and orientation must be found and entered into the Ubisense location systems dataset. The Ubisense location system management tools make this calibration process simple and quick refer to www.ubisensedimension4.com for details. Troubleshooting If you believe that the UBISENSOR30V1 is not functioning correctly, and the Ubisense location system management tools are not able to diagnose the problem, it is likely that the unit is not communicating with the rest of the location system for some reason. Check the following:
The networking cable is fully plugged in at both ends. The unit is connected to a network connection which is providing PoE power. Your local network port is connected to the rest of your network. The link light corresponding to the devices network connection is illuminated on the nearest upstream switch. If you are still unable to determine the cause of the problem, contact your system installer or Ubisense.
