Introduction The Ubisensor30v1 is a basestation used by the Ubisense Location System, which supports the real-time location of objects. 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.
Regulatory Information for Canada Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B) Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
Features of the Ubisensor The diagrams below show several important features of the Ubisensor: Status LED Network Activity LEDs Figure 1 – Ubisensor Front Space for regulatory information Mounting holes Timing cable sockets (x5) USB expansion socket Ventilation slots Networking socket (also provides PoE power) Space for MAC address (ID) label Figure 2 – Ubisensor Rear Ubisense – Ultra-wideband Location System – Ubisensor30v1
Optional dust cover (attaches with four screws) Cable entry at bottom of cover Figure 3 – Ubisensor 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 Mounting options Ubisensors have 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 Ubisensors Ubisensors must be powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE). This is normally done by connecting the sensors to the network using a PoE switch.
To network TIMING SOURCE To network To network Cat. 5 unshielded (or better) Cat. 5e unshielded (or better) Switching on the Ubisensor To turn on a Ubisensor, simply turn on the power to the device. The Status LED on the front of the Ubisensor should illuminate, and the device will begin to attempt to contact the Ubisense location system (which should already have been installed on your network – see the software manual for details).
