SECTION 9 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Pre-Installation Requirements
Prior to installing the ENVisionIT RTLS system, insure all material and installation information is at hand.
The basic steps for installing are:
Locate the placement location map provided with the system.
Identify and mark the each node location as specified in the site map.
Locate and install power and network components.
Route cables to each location as necessary.
Install the ENVisionIT server and connect it to the RTLS network router. The server will have been pre-
configured with the node information at the factory.
The ‘X’ and ‘Y’ location information in the map is the exact node location, in meters, from a given point in the
room. The ‘Z’ is the height of the node off the floor.
Each node has its own unique ID assigned in the ENVisionIT server. This ID is associated with where that node
should be located in the room. It is critical that each node is placed correctly according to the map.
The placement map is the finished product of the site scan performed at the time of sale. This map shows the close
approximate location of each Node, Wi-Fi antennas, Wi-Fi routers and switch(es) and power supplies.
Basic Installation of Nodes
Mounting options available for the nodes are wall mounted using the mounting holes provided or mounted on a
suspended ceiling grid.
The location of each node is critical and is pre-determined from previous site scans and provided by Secure Care.
The wall mounted nodes are always flush mounted and must not be mounted over a metal wall box.
When installing the node, pay close attention to the coordinates that are provided as this affects the node tracking
accuracy.
Exact final placement will be determined during system testing but should be within a few centimeters of the
designated location.
The final system testing involves verifying tag location accuracy, tag coverage, node communication and
synchronization. The entire process can be very extensive depending on the size of the system and any relocation
issues that may arise during system testing.
Mounting the Indoor Node
The Indoor Node can be mounted using one of three methods. Surface, flush or ceiling mount.
Surface Mount Enclosure for Indoor Node
The surface mount enclosure is designed to be flush mounted on the wall. It mounts using the screws, anchors, and
strain relief provided with the enclosure. Wiring may be routed through one or more of the three provided knockout
locations or through surface mounted non-metallic conduit into the knockouts on the top of the enclosure.
After routing wires appropriately to the enclosure location, use the enclosure as a template to mark and drill for the
four anchor locations.
