kontakt Portal Beam Wireless BLE Cloud Based Sensor User Manual

Introduction

The Portal Beam is a wireless, BLE, cloud-based, sensor platform quantifying rooms and delivering building insights in real-time. The Portal Beam uses nine different sensors: a thermal camera for occupancy and people counting, temperature, humidity, air quality, light, smoke detection, infrared beaconing, RSSI fingerprinting, and iBeacon. The Portal Beam comes with an 8-core CPU with neural network architecture and Bluetooth 5.0 readiness. Out of the box, it is compatible and seamlessly talks to any BLE-gateway. Using the 1-click, self-onboarding workflows of the Kio Cloud you can get started with it in minutes.

Installation

This section guides you on how to correctly mount Portal Beam. There are two scenarios covered—how to mount Portal Beam for room occupancy and desk occupancy due to Portal Beam wide angle thermal camera nature. There are differences in coverage for both of these scenarios.

What’s in the box

Portal Beam is shipped with 3M double-sided tape as the easiest way to mount the device, a set of batteries and a mounting kit to screw the device onto the ceiling. Also there is an additional mounting bracket available for suspended ceiling sold separately.

Features

On the side of the device you can find:

• Reset button – allows you to reset the device
• Power switch – to power on/off the device when its running on batteries
• DC socket
• LEDs that indicate state of the device

All of the above are covered by device casing, and are not visible for users.

Placement

Before you begin with Portal Beam mounting on the ceiling, remember to scan the QR code on the back of the device using the Kio Installer App.

Occupancy monitoring

For occupancy features it is crucial to calculate the coverage correctly and mount Portal Beam in the correct part of the ceiling depending on what area you need to monitor. Portal Beam is equipped with a Far Infrared Wide Angle therma camera so the coverage depends on how high it is mounted. The lowest point you can mount Portal Beam is 2,4m and the highest is 4,0m to achieve best accuracy.

Pictures taken by the thermal camera are passed to ML based algorithms that
can recognize people-based heat detection on a picture.

Note
Portal Beam checks occupancy once a minute and provides full privacy. No pictures are saved on the device, the only information sent to the cloud is the number of people detected.

Room
You can use Portal Beam to monitor room occupancy. You can place a Portal
Beam on the ceiling in the middle of the square that you need to monitor. Please note, as for now only one Portal Beam per room is supported.

Coverage table

As Portal Beam needs to be able to see the thermal image of the body, please refer to the below table on what coverage is available for room occupancy scenario (standing people).

Desk
Portal Beam can also be used to monitor desk occupancy, or just sitting people.

Coverage table

Please see reference calculations for desk occupancy, since the distance from
Portal Beam to the body of sitting people is greater than for the room occupancy scenario, coverage is slightly increased.

Info
Please note, all calculations are based on average people height of 185cm.

Mounting options

Tape Mount

• Step 1: Peel one side of mounting tape and stick it to the back of Portal
  Beam

• Step 2: Peel other side of mounting tape and stick it to the ceiling

• Step 3: Ready

Ceiling-mount

Standard mount needs to be screwed to the ceiling.

• Step 1: Put wall plugs in drilled holes.
• Step 2: Put the mounting kit against the ceiling and screw it in.
• Step 3: Put Portal Beam to the mounting kit and rotate it gently to lock
  it.

T-rail mount

T-rail mount allows you to mount Portal Beam easily to a suspended ceiling.

• Step 1: Put all elements together
• Step 2: Lock trail to the suspended ceiling bar
• Step 3: Screw standard mount to t-rail mount
• Step 4: Put Portal Beam to the standard mount
• Step 5: Rotate it gently to lock it.

Configuration

This section explains how to configure your Portal Beams. Make sure you have already configured the location, building and floor, if not please see: Smart Location section.

Configuration options

There are two options available for Portal Beam to be configured, you can either add Portal Beams to rooms using Kio Cloud or use the mobile application.

Kio Installer App

Scan Portal Beam QR code

Kio Installer App allows you to add Portal Beams to the room easily. It’s available for Google Android and Apple iOS. After you download it you need to log in with your Kio Cloud account, then click on the + icon and select Beam Setup. Click on the navy blue bar at the top of the screen to activate the QR reader and scan QR code that is printed on the back of Portal Beam

Note
Make sure you scan the QR code before you mount Portal Beam on the ceiling.

Select room

After the QR code on the back of Portal Beam is scanned, the Installer
Application can recognize a device and prompts you to choose a location that you would like to add Portal Beam to. Click on Choose location, select location, building and room.

Perform Portal Beam tests

After you choose a room for Portal Beam a summary page appears for you to
confirm your choices. After you click Next series of tests needs to be done. The first test checks if the Installer App can connect to Portal Beam, after the connection is successful the Portal Beam LED will blink green. The next test checks if Portal Beam broadcasts the correct room number. For the last test, please stand under the Portal Beam for at least 20 seconds to allow Portal Beam to recognize you and update the occupancy counter. After this time you can tap on Test room occupancy.

If all tests were successful, Portal Beam is correctly added to a room. You can
either choose Beam setup again to add the next Portal Beam or click on exit. You can always open Beam Setup again by clicking + button on Installer App.

Smart Location

Select room

Smart Location also allows you to add Portal Beams to rooms, go to Smart
Location -> Locations List -> Location -> Building Floor – and click on Edit Rooms and Devices

Add Portal Beam

Select a room that you would like to add Portal Beam to and select Portal Beam MAC Address, click on Add than Save.

Info
You can check Portal Beams MAC Address on Beacons -> Beacon list -> Select Beams unique id you need to check MAC Address.

After you add all your Portal Beams click on Save and Continue

Warning
Portal Beam requires a Portal Light or Cisco access point to send data to the Kio Cloud.
