coordinates In 3 dimensions with approximately 1m accuracy. The AirFinder Precise Location Service consists of the following hardware components: • AirFinder Location Beacon (LB) or Location Beacons (LBs) • AirFinder Access Point (AP) or Access Points (APs) (also referred to as Aggregators) • AirFinder Gateway (GW) or Gateways (GWs) Location Beacons (LBs) provide the input data for the AirFinder Precise Location Service. Location Beacons rapidly broadcast short data packets at 2.
its settings. AirFinder Gateways aggregate and transmit AF3 asset tracking tag up-link messages, as well as any other traffic from Location Beacons, and Access Points to the AirFinder Precise Location Service cloud platform. Gateways are connected to the Internet via an IoT (LTE) network connection. In some rare cases, the Gateway may have an Internet connection via a LAN or other backhaul method.
▪ If the unit has visible damage, do not install. Instead, immediately put unit aside and RMA.
o o o o Identify location for installing Power Cradle DC Power. ▪ Verify that Power Cradle DC Power can be installed in the location. Screw Power Cradle DC Power into wall or other surface. Attach power supply to Power Cradle DC Power. Attached Location Beacon or Access Point to Power Cradle DC Power. ▪ If Location Beacon or Access Point powers normally, see above, then the Power Cradle DC Power has been successfully installed. b.
iv. Locate power outlet that already has installed a functioning Power Cradle AC Power or a Location Beach AC Power. v. Slide attaching pegs of Access Point into slots of Power Cradle AC Power or a Location Beach AC Power. vi. See Figures 15 and 16 for verification of proper installation of Access Point. vii. Verify proper functioning of Access Point by observing proper LED behavior of unit according to the Power and Reset Conditions described below in b. viii.
b. Power and Reset Conditions on Access Point o o o Image 3: Access Point LED Behavior when Access Point is powered ▪ See Image 17 for view of the Access Point LEDs. ▪ LED Labeled "SL" Success • LED starts blinking when power is applied (or after a reset). ▪ Lights solid for 5 minutes when SL backhaul is successfully acquired (i.e. registration through completed; ready to flow data). • After 5 minutes, LED shuts off.
▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ To remove the Access Point from the Power Cradle AC Power or the Location Beacon AC Power, access the underside of the combined unit to release the attaching clip. Acquire a ballpoint pen or paperclip. Find the slot underneath the Access Point. Insert the pen or paperclip into the circular opening. While keeping the pen or paperclip inserted, pull the paperclip or pen gently away from the Power Cradle AC Power or the Location Beacon AC Power.
c. Power and Reset Conditions on Location Beacon o o LED Behavior when Location Beacon is powered ▪ No LEDs will light for approximately 15 seconds ▪ The LED labeled 'SL' will light solid for 60 seconds ▪ If an AF3 AP is detected, the SL LED will then blink at a roughly 2Hz rate ▪ Otherwise, the LED will turn off until an AP is detected Reset ▪ To reset the Location Beacon, either: • Insert a paperclip into the hole marked 'reset' • Cycle power to the device (e.g.
5. ETL Warnings (English and French) 1. For connection to a supply not in the U.S.A., use an attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for the power outlet, if needed.
