The VBOS Room Sensor (RAS) is designed and developed by iotspot and is part of our smart workspace platform. It is an on-premises, low voltage/battery powered device that:
a) assesses room availability by registering movement using a PIR
b) transmits and receives Bluetooth signals.

Installation
Preparations
Before using the VBOS Room Sensor, read the safety, installation and operation instructions to ensure proper use. You can view these instructions on the website www.iotspot.co. Please contact officespacessupport@vodafone.com for any questions.
Intended use
The product is intended to assess availability of a room in an office environment by measuring movement. The measuring data are transmitted over Bluetooth to the VBOS device with which the product is synchronized. The product should be mounted to the wall at a height of 1,5-2m. from the floor, or to the ceiling in the center of the room.
Interior Climate Sensor
The product’s function is fourfold:
1. Receiving a ‘configuration’ payload over Bluetooth connectivity from the VBOS device, as generated by the VBOS back-end software.
2. Executing the sensor assessment, i.e. Room availability by measuring movement.
3. Sending the ‘sensor’ payload over Bluetooth connectivity to the VBOS device.
4. Providing no show information as a trigger for further action.
Mounting and commissioning
Position the product at:
a) 1,5-2 m. from the floor in a vertical position against a wall or,
b) to the ceiling.
The best result is obtained when the sensor is positioned in the center of the shortest wall or the ceiling. After determination of the product position either:
Mounting option 1
Fit double-sided tape at the bottom of the product, while not covering the product information sticker:
Uncover the cover of the double-side tape and stick the device at the designated position with the three ‘holes’ facing to the ground:
Mounting option 2
To screw the sensor to its position; drive a 3mm screw through both remaining hole at the bottom side of the sensor ‘north’ and ‘south’ of the product sticker to pinpoint the screw guides at the top side of the sensor. Then use these guides to screw the sensor to its position with the three ‘holes’ facing to the ground.
Activation
The product is configured, using a smartphone app (‘setup app’ in Google’s PlayStore or Apple’s Appstore). In essence this setup app allows you to synchronize the sensor to a VBOS device, so that the sensory data is transmitted to the smart workspace platform. Once the configuration of the product is finalized the sensor data can be displayed in dashboards or accessed as raw data.
Maintenance & Care
The sensor housing can be wiped for dust or cleaned with a damp cloth if needed. Do not use cleaning agents.
