Follow these six steps to install your sensors and connect the edge box. Use the guide on screen, or print a copy to take to site.

Use alongside your blueprint

Exact positions, heights, and aiming directions come from your site plan.

Start with the packing list and the approved site plan.

01 / Check the kit

Lay everything out.

Keep your mounting blueprint beside this guide. You will use both throughout the installation.

1. Match the sensors and their labels to the kit packing list.
2. Find the mounts, approved cables, edge box, power supplies, and any supplied network or sensor interface equipment.
3. Have the mounting tools and site-approved access equipment ready.

Keep in mind

Hardware varies by kit. Use the supplied hardware instructions for fasteners, power ratings, weather sealing, and cable limits.

The kit matches the packing list and I have the site blueprint.

Your blueprint tells you where. A clear view tells you why.

02 / Find the locations

Match the plan to the site.

Each sensor goes at the position shown on your blueprint. The drawing here is an example, not a site layout.

1. Match each sensor label to its marked mounting point on the blueprint.
2. Confirm the specified height and direction, with a clear view of the measurement area.
3. Locate the edge box position and trace the cable route back to it.

Keep in mind

A beam, conveyor, or light can block the view. If the planned position is obstructed or cannot be used, ask your provider to revise the plan before mounting.

The mounting points, viewing directions, and cable routes match the blueprint.

Use the bracket and sensor instructions supplied with your kit.

03 / Mount the sensors

Fix it firmly. Keep the view clear.

A stable sensor position is part of an accurate measurement. Repeat this step at each marked location.

1. Use site-approved access equipment and follow your site's work-at-height procedures.
2. Fix the supplied mount to the approved structure using the specified hardware and tightening instructions.
3. Attach and orient the sensor as shown on the blueprint. Check that the mount is rigid and the sensing window is unobstructed.

Keep in mind

The illustration is schematic. Follow your sensor and bracket instructions for attachment and orientation; do not infer bolt positions or torque from this drawing.

Every sensor is secure, correctly oriented, and has a clear view.

Repeat the labelled cable route for each sensor.

04 / Run the cable

One tidy route back to the box.

For a PoE-equipped kit, one approved Ethernet cable carries both power and data to each sensor.

1. Follow the planned route from the sensor, along the structure and down to the box location.
2. Support the cable so its weight does not pull on the connector. Keep it clear of moving equipment, sharp edges, and traffic.
3. Label both ends with the sensor ID. Follow the kit instructions for bend radius, maximum length, slack, and outdoor sealing.

Keep in mind

Not every sensor accepts PoE. If your kit includes a sensor interface box or separate power supply, use its wiring diagram and approved sensor cable instead.

Each cable is supported, protected, and labelled at both ends.

Connection layout varies by kit. Check before powering on.

05 / Connect the box

Match the labels. Then power up.

Use the connection diagram supplied with your kit. The port positions below are illustrative.

1. With power off, connect each sensor cable to the designated sensor connection. For PoE, use the specified PoE port, switch, or injector.
2. Connect the edge box's network connection to your site's wired LAN. An ordinary network port does not necessarily supply PoE.
3. Check all connections, then connect the supplied power equipment and turn the system on as directed by the kit instructions.

Keep in mind

Keep the edge box within its specified environment and leave its ventilation clear. Ask your provider if any connector or port label differs from the kit diagram.

Sensor, network, and power connections match the kit diagram.

FIG. 06ILLUSTRATIVE · NOT TO SCALE

Device reporting is the first check. Sensor data is the next.

06 / Check & hand over

Confirm the site is reporting.

Devices arrive pre-provisioned. Your final check happens in the portal, not on a command line.

1. Use your provider's invitation to sign in to the cloud portal, or open the local portal at the address your provider supplied.
2. Find your site and confirm the edge device is green and reporting. Check with your provider that every installed sensor is supplying data.
3. Record the sensor labels and any installation changes on the blueprint. Hand it over with the kit documentation.

Keep in mind

A green edge device confirms it is reporting; it does not prove every sensor's coverage or calibration. Continue to alignment (if using Detect), then Quick Start to set up measurement zones.

The device is reporting, sensor data is confirmed, and the blueprint is updated.

Something doesn't match? Pause at that step and contact your provider with the sensor label, a photo, and your blueprint revision.
