PURPOSE // Information on how to use CoWorkr’s WorkPoint Sensor DEFINITIONS // WorkPoint Sensor CoWorkr “Workpoints” are battery-powered occupancy sensors that use passive infrared sensors for detecting human activity. While WorkPoints are traditionally used to provide high-res occupancy data on workstations, these devices may also be used to monitor small meeting spaces where the number of occupants is not needed.
To send a notifications packet from the WorkPoint, press the button using a pinhole press tool. This will illuminate the LED and force the device to advertise a packet. FIRMWARE AND FLASHING // CoWorkr WorkPoints ship pre-flashed with the latest firmware. For updates to the firmware, the device must be attached to an installer’s computer using a JTAG connector, wherein the firmware revision can be flashed onto the device. Firmware updates are not commonly done on production devices.
Desks and WorkStations Furniture Type 1: Standard Workstation Install Desk Sensor using the drawings to the right and checklist below as guidelines for specific placement. ❏ Center the sensor on the seated or standing position on the desk. This is typically in the middle. ❏ Position the sensor roughly ⅔ back from the front edge of the table top.
❏ Orient the Sensor so the arrow on the black case is facing the front edge of the desk. ❏ Wipe the surface free of any oils ❏ Peel off the adhesive backing ❏ Stick the sensor to the location and hold in place, applying pressure, for at least 10 seconds. Furniture Type 2: Offset Workstation Install Desk Sensor using the drawings to the right and checklist below as guidelines for specific placement. ❏ Center the sensor on the seated or standing position on the desk.
❏ Position the sensor roughly ⅔ back from the front edge of the tabletop. ❏ Orient the Sensor so the arrow on the black case is facing the front edge of the desk. ❏ Wipe the surface free of any oils ❏ Peel off the adhesive backing ❏ Stick the sensor to the location and hold in place, applying pressure, for at least 10 seconds. Furniture Type 3: Standard Meeting Table Install Desk Sensor using the drawings to the right and checklist below as guidelines for specific placement.
❏ Center the sensor on the seated or standing position each location of the table. This should be based on the number of chairs. ❏ Position the sensor roughly ½ way between the front edge and the middle of the table. ❏ Orient the Sensor so the arrow on the black case is facing the front edge of the desk. ❏ Wipe the surface free of any oils ❏ Peel off the adhesive backing ❏ Stick the sensor to the location and hold it in place, applying pressure, for at least 10 seconds.
Install Desk Sensor using the drawings to the right and checklist below as guidelines for specific placement. ❏ Center the sensor on the seated or standing position on the desk. For offset seat, center on where the chair most likely will be located. ❏ Position the sensor roughly ⅔ back from the front edge of the table top. ❏ Orient the Sensor so the arrow on the black case is facing the front edge of the desk.
Rooms Using a WorkPoint Sensor with a Room Case, install the device by sticking it to the ceiling, facing downwards. Any movement in the entire room will trigger an occupancy reading. If a room is longer than 10 ft (3m) we suggest using 2 WorkPoints.
Install the Room Sensor using the drawings to the right and checklist below as guidelines for specific placement. ❏ Center the sensor on the space. The sensor location on the plan should indicate if the sensor is centered on the room or above a specific area of the room. ❏ No Orientation of the Sensor is required (it’s spherical) ❏ Wipe the surface free of any oils ❏ Peel off the adhesive backing ❏ Stick the sensor to the location and hold in place, applying pressure, for at least 10 seconds.
Room Type 2: StandardRoom on ACT Frame Install the Room Sensor using the drawings to the right and checklist below as guidelines for specific placement. ❏ Center the sensor on the space. The sensor location on the plan should indicate if the sensor is centered on the room or above a specific area of the room. ❏ Locate the Sensor on the ACT Frame. This may be slightly off-center of the room.
❏ No Orientation of the Sensor is required (it’s spherical) ❏ Wipe the frame free of any oils ❏ Peel off the adhesive backing ❏ Stick the sensor to the frame and hold in place, applying pressure, for at least 10 seconds.
Sometimes a WorkPoint’s signal may be blocked depending on its installed location. Please reach out to CoWorkr via chat or email (support@coworkr.co) if you think an extra Hub is needed. ● The nearest Hub may be offline. Check the nearest Hub on the FloorPlan to ensure it is online.
