Introduction

This wiki section discusses installation of the optional wireless Fine Motion Room sensor.

This optional hardware component provides a corresponding register value that will increase whenever motion is detected. Although this register on its own may be useful in some situations, its primary use case is as a feed into the (Analytic only) Occupancy type register in order to reset the occupancy value to zero after a period of inactivity. In this way, any over-count bias (no matter how small) can be removed automatically from the Occupancy value. 

It's intended use is for applications such as meeting room utilization reporting.

 

Pre-Requisites

In all cases it is strongly recommended that Vectors are updated to very latest firmware version currently available. But in any case, a minimum firmware version of 2.0.135 is required for full compatibility with the USB receiver and fine motion detector.

Firmware updates and update instructions are available from the Irisys partner portal as usual - here.

 

Hardware Installation

To add a wireless Fine Motion Room Sensor you need both the sensor itself and a corresponding USB receiver:

Part Number

Description

IRTRM2210

Fine Motion Room Sensor – Bluetooth – White

IRTRM2220

USB Bluetooth Receiver

 

The motion sensor should be positioned in the middle of the room where it is most likely to be able to detect people movement.

Firstly, take apart the Fine Motion Room Sensor by unclipping the tabs at the side. This will then expose the two fixing holes in order to secure it on to the ceiling:

While the device is apart make a note of the MAC address shown on the label on the main part to ensure correct pairing at the configuration step later.

Ensure that the battery tab is removed and then the unit can then be clipped into place on the ceiling.

For larger areas up to four Motion Sensors can be utilized with a single USB Receiver.
If there are multiple room sensors in range, it is recommended that a note is taken of the Bluetooth MAC address for correct pairing later.

The USB Bluetooth Receiver should be connected to the Vectors free USB port:

The USB Bluetooth Receiver can be connected to the Vector when it is powered or not, but for the adapter to be correctly recognized and usable, the Vector should be rebooted anyway so that the internal drivers are correctly configured.
Reboot the Vector by either by physically powering off and on again (or pulling the network cable and re-inserting), or by using the Reboot Device option provided in the Actions menu when connected via RIFT:

When correctly identified there will be a log entry in the diagnostics:

Once the Fine Motion Room Sensor has been installed and USB Bluetooth receiver have been connected, you can proceed with the configuration part of the installation. 

Note, until the configuration is complete the Room sensor and Bluetooth receiver won't be doing anything.
