Risk and Security Declarations

General safety instructions

The following general safety instructions apply when handling the connection panel product (in addition to the specially listed safety instructions):

The use of the BACHMANN connection panel product is only permitted in a faultless condition. In the event of any damage, problems or malfunctions, the product must be immediately switched to a de-energized state and the BACHMANN customer service must be contacted.
Ensure that all cables are routed in such a way that they do not present any danger to persons or can be damaged.
Protect cables and connections from liquids. For example, do not place power cords and power supplies near washbasins, bathtubs, toilets or on floors that are cleaned with liquids. Liquids can cause short-circuits, especially if the cable or power supply has been subjected to excessive stress due to improper use. Liquids may also cause gradual corrosion of the power cord connections and/or power supply cord ends. This can eventually lead to overheating.
Do not use cables that show corrosion damage to the plug and/or damage caused by overheating (e.g. deformed plastic parts) to the plug or other components of the cable.
Do not use cables where the electrical contacts at one end show signs of corrosion or overheating or are damaged in any other way.

Attention! Connection panel de-energised only after disconnecting the plug from the supply line. Plug serves as a disconnecting device and must be accessible at all times.

Product Description

Scope of delivery
The scope of delivery includes the BACHMANN connection panel product or socket strip with integrated hotspot module functionality.

Intended use

The BACHMANN connection panel product is intended to be mounted on desks and/ or meeting rooms. The connection panel product is intended for use in dry and closed rooms (protection class IP20). The intended use is stationery supply of electrical voltage (via different socket types and/or network and media supply). Use for offices and similar purposes, excluding construction and installation work. Use only in clean indoor areas at an ambient temperature of 5 °C, to/or occasionally 35 °C. Do not use in the immediate vicinity of chemical emissions (e.g. oil mist, solder fumes) or dust sources. The product must not be opened and/or modified or extended! A different use than the intended use, as well as the change of the product, can lead to damage of the product, serious material damage, and personal injury! The hotspot functionality will indicate the availability status of the resources in an office environment. The availability status, as indicated by an RGB-LED coloring scheme, is ‘communicated’ to the product by means of a GSM connection with the cloud computing infrastructure or a Bluetooth connection with the presence sensor(s). The foreseeable use of the hotspot functionality is that of an internet access hub for Bluetooth monitoring devices, i.e. sensors of third-party manufacturers in and outside of an office environment.

Operation Conditions of the iotspot Module

Product operation regarding the iotspot module

The iotspot module operates as follows:

Receive a ‘status’ payload over LTE-M or 2G connectivity, as generated in the iotspot back-end software.
Receive a ‘sensor’ payload over Bluetooth connectivity as generated by the Bluetooth-connected sensors.
Send the ‘sensor’ payload over LTE-M or 2G connectivity to the hotspot back-end software.
‘Beacon’ its ‘identity’ to smartphones that have the iOS or Android app of iotspot active; and
Communicate its ‘identity’ using the passive NFC chip to smartphones that have the iOS or Android app of hotspot active.
Display the ‘status’ through a color indication as emitted by eight RGB-LEDs in a semi-circle.

Figure 1 visualizes the product and its six functions for a better understanding.

Figure 1. The iotspot module and its six functions are explained . The iotspot module and the three communication components, GSM, Bluetooth and NFC, are depicted in black, while the ancillary devices and infrastructure are shown in light grey.
