PURPOSE // Information on how to use CoWorkr’sCounter Sensor DEFINITIONS // Counter Sensor (a.k.a. “WorkSpace Counter”) CoWorkr “WorkSpace Counters” are battery powered people counters that use an infrared sensor and AI for counting humans. Counters are ceiling mounted and may be used in a variety of applications wherein multiple occupants may be present. Counters may also be wired in positioned at thresholds for in/out counting.
Powering On/Off: Counters have an on/off switch. To power on a Counter, flip the ON/OFF toggle switch to the ON position. To turn off, flip the switch to the OFF position. Switch Configurations: The AI-Confidence threshold can be set by configuring the switches in 4 positions. By setting the threshold to a specific setting, the object detections created by the firmware will be limited to the meet the criteria outlined in the diagram above..
ceiling, centered over the work area and spaced a proper distance away from other sensors. Use the (included) floor plans to locate each sensor. Sensors are typically ordered numerically so the installer should be able to make a continuous path through the floor plan while installing sensors in the order of the devices in the box. The following steps describe how to install the Counter Sensors based on the ceiling type.
Ceiling Type 1: Acoustic Ceiling Tile (ACT) Frame PART ONE Install the Counter Sensor using the drawings below 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 nearest ACT Frame. This may be slightly off-center of the room. ❏ Use the included Frame clip to attach the Counter to the Frame as shown in the next slide. PART TWO - OPTION 1 - Using a Clip Your Sensor should ship with an twist/clamp-on attachment to match your ACT System.
PART TWO - OPTION 2 - Using a Magnet If your Sensor shipped with a magnet attachment. This can be used to attach to any surface with strong magnetic properties. Note: Magnets will not attach to aluminum frames.
❏ Attach using Magnets: ❏ Locate the position on the metal ACT frame or other metal surface that orients the Sensor with the white lens to the top of the floor plan ❏ Ceiling Type 2: Solid gypsum, metal, wood, etc. PART ONE The drawing below indicates the typical installation into a solid material ceiling. Depending on your specific ceiling type, there may be slight differences. Please ask if you have any questions prior to drilling or damaging any materials.
❏ Drill a ½” hole in the surface ❏ Insert the SnapToggle or other Threaded Anchor product included with your shipment ❏ Tighten the Threaded Anchor into place ❏ Gently Twist the Counter into the Anchor ❏ Orient the Sensor to position the white lens closest to the top of the floor plan and parallel to the space’s walls. Do not over tighten. ❏ Ceiling Type 2: Solid gypsum, metal, wood, etc.
❏ 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 nearest ACT Frame. This may be slightly off-center of the room. ❏ Use the included Frame clip to attach the Counter to the Frame as shown in the next slide.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS // A Counter Sensor is showing offline on our FloorPlan, what can I do? ● If it’s a single Counter Sensor amongst multiple other online Counter Sensors, it’s likely the battery. Remove the Counter Batteries and replace. Please note these take 3.6V LI AA batteries, not conventional AA. If swapping the battery does not resolve the issue, please contact CoWorkr and we’ll send you a replacement.
radiation, including microwave radiation. Cellphones and laptops, on the other hand, must pass strict SAR testing requirements, since they operate at higher power levels. How do I know if Counter Sensors are collecting data? ● Counter Sensors are always reporting data if they are turnd on. As long as the batteries are charged or it is powered via USB, the device will broadcast data.
