Installing a Wired (E106) Sensor

Sensor Installation

VergeSense will grant access to the Installer Tool prior to the start of installation. You can access the tool at cloud.vergesense.com on mobile or desktop.

Physical Installation

  • Locate the sensor on the map

  • Match the orientation to the map

  • Power the sensor on

Use Installer Tool to:

  • Enter the Sensor ID

  • Check connectivity

  • Confirm coverage

  • Publish

Locate The Sensor On Map

Use the Installer Tool to navigate the map.

Note: the plan is to scale; zoom in to view the exact sensor location (usually centered above a group of desks at the center of a room).

Match Orientation on Map

It is important to match the orientation for proper coverage and data capture.

Power On

Power the sensor by inserting the ethernet cable. The sensor will automatically power on.

The VergeSense wired area sensors contain an LED next to the soft reset button on the side of the sensor. The LED is intended to provide an indication of the sensor's status during initialization. During normal operation, the LED will be turned off and the sensor's status should be visible in the VergeSense dashboards. During initialization, the LED should exhibit the following behavior:

Approximately 0.5 seconds on each color.

If the sensor remains stuck in the state where the green LED is flashing, this indicates that the sensor is unable to connect to a network and receive a network address. For more information please see Wired Sensor (E106) Green Blinking Light During Install.
