Software architecture

OS-B and OS-H (later referred as “The sensors”) can be and in standard application are a part of TableAir Cloud system. The architecture of the system is presented below with the sensor corresponding placement in Sit-stand desk sensors and Fixed desk sensors tables: 

It is also possible to use the sensor in a different architecture environment.

Introduction

OS-B

The OS-B is designed to detect the occupancy of a desk or workplace position within an office environment and book it.

Occupancy and booking data is transmitted wirelessly to a central database where it can be used to make informed decisions regarding the workplace utilization and efficiency.

The OS-B can be located up to 30 m away from an Access Point. With objects in the way a more typical range is 15 m. WiFi requirements depend on the number of sensors installed. 10-20 units can be used with a basic router, 20-100 sensors require an enterprise grade router. 

OS-H

The OS-H is an extension of OS-B. OS-H can detect the occupancy of a desk or workplace in an office and book it automatically. It has very similar technical specifications, with the main difference being additional ports.

The extension comes in the ability to connect OS-H to leg controllers which are used in sit-stand desks. Currently, four producers are supported: Linak, Timotion, Jiecang and OMT.

The distance to floor sensor (TOF) measures the height of the table.

OS-H
TL (Traffic Light )
AC-DC Power Supply Connectivity
Attach an AC plug to the AC-DC
Power Supply.
Make sure you use a plug that
matches the electrical socket used in your country.
Attention! Please ensure that the
plug is in the right location and fully
fixed into the socket.

Connecting the system

Connect all cables and devices as shown in the picture below. 

  1. In case of OS-H, you will need to connect the leg controller box to the device. You should already have a matching cable. Connect one end to OS-H and the other end to the matching leg controller box port (for reference check the pictures below).
  2. Connect the TL (traffic light) or TLC NRR or TLC NRR Keypad (only for OS-H) cable to the OS-B/OS-H mini USB socket. If the cables require fixing to the table, do so only with self-adhesive cable holders.
  3. Connect the power cable to the OS-B/OS-H micro USB socket and the AC-DC Power Supply.

OS-B and OS-H installation

The sensor unit is now ready to be fitted under the desk to monitor the space surrounding it. The OS-B/OS-H can be fixed under the desk using adhesive mounting tapes or with 2 pcs. mounting screws.

The OS-B/OS-H must be installed under the desk, 300mm back from the front edge – directly opposite the place where the worker is likely to sit. Make sure the thermal sensor is facing the person.

When positioning the OS-B/OS-H, ensure that the sensors have a clear line-of-sight to the position where the user sits, with no obstructions in the way. Ensure that the OS-B/OS-H is mounted flat against the underside of the desk. Note that the devices have been designed so the sensors point slightly downward by default. This ensures the sensors are pointing down at the workstation occupant, and not upwards towards the underside of the desk. 

For correct operation the OS-B/OS-H requires a normal office environment, with temperatures around 18 to 25 degrees centigrade and normal humidity. Therefore the devices should not be placed in direct sunlight or near heat sources such as fan-heaters or radiators.

Software setup

In order to use OS-/OS-H devices you need to have an account and belong to a team. If you are not sure, please contact your supervisor for more information. If you want more information about team creation and app usage please visit our Introduction to TableAir Cloud Manual and the Administrators’ Manual. In order to add sensors to your team you will need to download the TableAir Workspace app (either on iPhone or Android device) and you will need to have administrator rights in your team.

Downloading the TableAir Workspace app

Download the TableAir Workspace app on your smartphone device. You can find it on the App Store for iPhone devices and on Google Play for Android devices

Logging into the app

Launch the TableAir Workspace app you have just downloaded and log into your TableAir Cloud account.

Make sure both Bluetooth and WiFi are enabled on your mobile device.

Assigning sensors to the venue

After logging into your account, tap on the sandwich menu icon in the top right corner of the app.

Select ‘Connect device’.

You’ll see all the new unassigned devices in your vicinity. Select the ones you’d like to add to the system and tap ‘Configure’ to proceed.

Select the WiFi network, enter your WiFi password and press ‘Connect’.

Select team and venue

You’ll receive a confirmation message if everything has been done correctly.

Firmware update

For the device to work properly it must be up to date. Firmware updates are released regularly and upgrade various parts of the device. You can see the latest firmware version in your Dashboard under the Sensors tab.

In the same Sensor tab in the Dashboard you are able to see the current firmware version of all of your devices.

Firmware update using the Dashboard

If the device is connected to the Internet and there is a firmware upgrade available, you will see it in the Sensors tab in the Dashboard. Under the Firmware ver. column look for the Upgrade sensor button.

It is also possible to update all of the devices by clicking the UPGRADE ALL button which is located at the bottom of the Sensors tab.
