2.5. HAZARDOUS AREAS
Eagle Sensor and Eagle Expander are ATEX zone 0 certified (Class 1, Div. 1 equivalent).
Figure 5: Eagle and hazardous areas
2.6. RADIO COMMUNICATION
2.6.1. Characteristics
All devices use the 2.45 GHz ISM frequency band. However, the modulation used by the PHY layer (O-QPSK) does not physically decode Wi-Fi and Bluetooth data, only 802.15.4 PHY data.
The Eagle sensor emits +3 dBm (2 mW) and Eagle Expander and Eagle Gateway +13 dBm (20 mW).
2.6.2. Radio standard
All the devices use the 802.15.4e radio protocol. This allows some security as to the exchange of data between the different elements of the radio network. Indeed, each network device has a unique MAC address coded on 64 bits. This address identifies a single sensor on a single network. In addition, to join an existing network, a device must know the identifier of the network, encoded on 16 bits. For even more security, it is possible to add a "white list" on the gateway, which filters MAC addresses on the network so as to accept the elements in this list.
2.6.3. Radio coverage
Line-of-sight sensors may have a radio range of about 100 m. In noisy environments and/or industrial environments, the radio range depends greatly on the environment and on-site testing is necessary. A range of about 20 m is more realistic in this type of environment. As with the sensors, the radio range of the gateway routers is highly dependent on the environment.

Chapter 3 INSTALLATION GUIDE

Brand of ACOEM
1. SITE SURVEY
A site survey has to be done early to determine the sensor locations and options for the installation of Expanders and Gateway.
In industrial environments, Radio Frequency (RF) standard patterns are not always applicable and accurate modelling of the RF is complex to implement and impractical.
For this reason, the RF planning is empirically based on best practices and past experiences.
RF planning quickly defines the places where the sensors are easily accessible, needs to extend distances and bypass obstacles.
1.1. SITE PLANNING
The very first step is a site planning for RF.
On a site map:
Determine and identify the machines that require monitoring with Eagle sensors, Determine potential locations for the gateway (allowing connection to the PoE <100 m,
power connection <100 m). Estimate the distance from every Eagle sensor to the gateway after the initial survey and
use the table below to determine whether special precautions need to be taken.
Table 4: Distances for coverage quality
Environment Nominal Precautions
Dense metal structures with no line-of-sight 20 m 50 m
Sparse metal structures with limited line-of-sight 40 m 100 m
Line-of-sight 100 m Expanders
Identify obstacles that can interfere with radio coverage, sensors in complex areas (limited space, metal shields) and the most distant sensors.
Use Expanders to extend the coverage or reach sensors in hard locations

1.2. FIELD TEST
The second step is a field test to verify the reception of the farthest sensors or those with doubts about their reception because of their situation (metallic surroundings, casing, guards, etc.).
Perform a temporary installation with complex locations in order to try out different gateway options and Eagle sensors locations.
Typically the Eagle Sensors within the “Nominal” range are installed permanently from the onset. The remaining Eagles within the “Precautions” range need their signal strength to be monitored. Once the link quality is confirmed, the Sensor can be permanently installed or the use of an Expander can solve the situation.
The signal strength of every device can be monitored from the Gateway Web Interface (Topology). It is advisable to improve the signal strength for devices lower than -85 dBm.
Figure 10: Field test result that improves the site survey
2. INSTALLATION PREREQUISITES
2.1. SAFETY
Refer to safety instructions, safety standards and procedures before installing any device.
2.2. SITE SURVEY
At this stage, the site survey is done.
The locations of the gateway, sensors and expanders are identified in a site plan and ensure the appropriate radio coverage for each sensor.
2.3. FASTENING SUPPORT
The gateway must be placed on a wall or a pole at a height of about 5 m [16 ft.].
Adequate mounting support has to be installed on site (such as a mast) if necessary and can therefore require the use of support facilities and operations of specific civil engineering if needed for the configuration of the area.

2.4. NETWORK AND POWER
The gateway has to be powered and connected to the customer IP network.
Prior to installation, the site must be equipped with both power and Ethernet connections.
A technical cabinet can be necessary. The link to the customer IP network can be fibre-optic, copper…
3. GATEWAY INSTALLATION
The gateway is fully assembled and ready to be deployed upon delivery.
Only one gateway is necessary to ensure the operation of the whole multi-hop wireless infrastructure. Additional gateway may be necessary depending on the complexity of your environment.
The gateway is linking the wireless network of Eagle devices to an IP network where the data are processed.
3.1. LOCATION
The location of the gateway is very important.
It must be placed at a height of about 5 m [16 ft.]. It must comply with a maximum radius of 100 m [328 ft.] radio coverage.
The housing face with the OneProd logo indicates the embedded antenna location. This face must be oriented in the direction of the sensors and expanders.
The radio link is sensible to physical obstacles, such as vehicles, tanks, or walls. If the distance between the gateway and sensors or expanders exceeds 100 m [328 ft.], it may be necessary to add an additional expander to improve the signal strength.

3.2. MOUNT
The gateway is fixed very quickly on a pole or on a wall using a ball-joint mount.
The ball-joint mount consists of:
A ball-joint head
Fix the ball-joint head on the bottom of the gateway using 2 M4-16 screws.
A ball-joint base The base is to be pegged on a wall or on a pole.
The mounting on a pole requires a clamp, nuts and washers.
The mounting on a wall is done using four screws and anchors.
The mounting on a structure requires bolts nuts and washers.
An arm
Use the arm to join the two ball-joints.
The system allows for precise orientation of the gateway.

3.3. CONNECTION TO THE GATEWAY
The gateway is powered and connected to a TCP/IP network by a unique cable (Ethernet category 5e) thanks to a PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector (compliant with 802.11.3af-2003).
Prior to installation, the site must be equipped with both power and Ethernet connections where the PoE will be installed. A technical cabinet can be necessary. The link to the customer TCP/ IP network can be fibre-optic, copper…
Outdoor installation of the PoE is prohibited. Indoor use only.
PoE must be protected against dust and splash.
3.3.1. Connection procedure
The Ethernet connection to the gateway is tool-free.
Use a standard Ethernet Category 5e cable pulled from a technical cabinet (not Step 1.connected).
IP68 gland is delivered with the gateway housing and has to be mounted on the Step 2.Ethernet cable before connecting the gateway. Figure 15 describes this procedure.
Plug the assembly in the waterproof Ethernet receptacle located on the back of the Step 3.gateway.
Ensure that the assembly is fully tightened. Step 4.
Figure 15: Plug assembly instructions
Figure 16: Cable, gland and connector assembled
22
3.4. CONNECTION TO THE POE
Only use the PoE injector sold or recommended to power up the gateway.
PoE injector is fully compliant with IEEE802.3.af.
Outputs are equipped with short-circuit protection and overload protection as per IEEE 802.3af specifications. The output can be shorted permanently without damage.
The PoE comes with an IEC60320 C14 connector.
Only use the power cord adapted to your country:
IEC60320 C13 / CEE 7/7 for E.U. IEC60320 C13 / BS 1363 for U.K., IEC60320 C13 / NEMA 5-15 for U.S.A
WARNING Never place a PoE in outdoor locations or hazardous environments.
The PoE is preferably located close to the gateway, but can be located at 100 m max. (Ethernet limitations).
Manage cables by using different colours to differentiate PoE from LAN.
Define a standard that is relevant to your requirements or applied in your company.
Blue or Grey for Network (LAN) Yellow or Red for PoE
Be careful when connecting.
Check twice that “PoE” port is connected with the gateway.
Wrong connections may cause damages.
Connect the Ethernet cable from the gateway to the PoE injector on "OUT" Port. Step 1. Connect "IN" port of the PoE to the IP network. Step 2. Check your connections. Step 3. Power the PoE using the appropriate power plug for your country. Step 4.

4. SENSORS INSTALLATION
4.1. SENSOR LOCATION
The sensors are mounted on the equipment to monitor following the rules for vibration sensor installation.
Leave enough space around the sensor to ensure the best transmission/reception possible of radio signals. At least 100 mm around the device antenna (plastic cap). If the sensor has to be installed in tiny spaces, the use of an expander might be a solution to improve the radio coverage (if necessary).

4.2.5. Temporary mount
Performing field test during a site survey may require a temporary mount. This allows testing locations and orientations of the farthest sensors or those with doubts about their reception because of their situation (metallic surroundings, casing, guards…) to get the best coverage possible.
A magnetic mount is the best solution in that specific case. But it is not appropriate to monitor vibrations in a long-term solution.
Screw the sensor on the magnetic base using appropriated stud or bolt (M6). Step 1. Place the system on the location to test. Step 2.
NOTICE: An adapter stud may be required depending on the design of the magnetic base to allow M6 mount.

5. EXPANDER INSTALLATION
5.1. EXPANDER LOCATION
The location of the Expanders is very important. It must comply with a maximum radius of 100 m of radio coverage. It must be located within the coverage of the gateway or of another expander.
It is best practice to install the Expanders at high to improve the coverage. This way the expander has a clear view of the sensors close to it.
The blue plastic cap is where the embedded antenna is located. It must be oriented in the direction of the sensors or at least vertically.
The radio link is sensible to physical obstacles, such as vehicles, tanks, or walls. If the distance between an expander and sensors exceed 100 m or an obstacle is present, it may be necessary to add an additional expander to improve the signal strength.
5.2. EXPANDER MOUNTING
A damp cloth should be used when installing or taking off the Eagle Expander in hazardous areas to eliminate static electricity resulting from this operation.
Expander shares the same design as sensors. See “Figure 22: Sensor and expander mounting interface (threads, hex head)” on page 25.
Table 7: Mounting characteristics for expander (identical to sensor)
Thread M6-1, max depth 6 mm [0.236 in]
Flat mounting surface Ø 32.5 mm x 1 mm height [Ø 1.28 in x 0.039 in]
Hex head 44 mm [1.73 in]
Fastening torque 5 - 7 Nm [44 - 62 inch-lb]
CAUTION:
Do not grasp the expander by the plastic cap. Do not hit the plastic cap. Do not tighten the expander by the plastic cap.

4 mounting modes:
Direct mounting: M6 stud on a flat surface. Cementing pad: the easiest way to install. Temporary mount: only for testing wireless coverage before final assembly. Ball-joint mount: allowing precise orientation. See RAM Mounts accessories for example.
OneProd do not Sale such accessories.
5.2.1. Direct mounting
See “Figure 23: Direct mounting with M6 stud” on page 26.
CAUTION: The part of the stud inserted into the expander can be up to 6 mm. A bottoming stud may cause base-strain and also potentially damage electronics.
CAUTION: If you use a 44 mm wrench or an adjustable wrench, be careful to observe the indicated torque range.
No need of flat surface. Step 3. Drill a hole (Ø 5 mm [Ø 13/64 in ). Step 4. Thread the hole with M6 tap. Step 5. Screw M6 stud. Step 6.
Screw the sensor on the stud and tighten at 5 - 7 Nm using the dedicated tube wrench and your handgrip. Fill in the installation report with expander information (S/N, location, etc.).
5.2.2. Cementing pad mounting
See Chapter 3 § 4.2.2 “Cementing pad mounting” on page 27.
5.2.3. Temporary mount
A Tough-Claw™ from RAM Mounts is the perfect mounting base for quick and easy tool-less installation and removal on round, square, odd shaped rails and bars. The Tough-Claw™ can be clamped on rails from 25.4 mm to 57.15 mm [1" to 2.25"] outer diameter. See Chapter 2 § 2.7.1 0 on page 15.
A magnetic base can also be used: see Chapter 3 § 4.2.5 “Temporary mount”.

Acquisition periodicity (if P is checked in the Operating conditions tab). Two periodicities must be defined: the periodicity when Eagle does not detect any alarm status on the equipment (“if OK”) and the periodicity when the equipment is in alarm mode (“if alarm”).
6.1.1. Periodicity “if OK” only
Set the same periodicity for “if OK” and “if alarm” if you do not want to activate the “if alarm” feature.
6.1.2. Periodicity “if alarm”
This feature allows to monitor more frequently an equipment depending on is alarm status.
One or more parameter must have a threshold set to use this feature and a different periodicity has to be set between “if OK” and “if alarm” fields.
If a parameter measured at its normal periodicity exceeds a threshold, then the next periodicity changes to “if alarm” value. When the parameter is back to OK state, then the normal periodicity is used again.
Figure 49: Behaviour of the Periodic acquisition feature
WARNING Normal use of Eagle is a daily measurement or every 6 hours max to guaranty a good battery lifetime.
A periodicity shorter than 6 hours may drastically affect the battery life.
By setting a periodicity shorter than 6 hours, you are aware that you are not using Eagle in standard mode and you accept a shorter battery life.
6.2. ALARM STATUS CHANGE (S)
Used to trigger an acquisition on the equipment on each change of alarm Status of a parameter.
One or more parameter must have a threshold set to use this feature.
« If OK » « If ALARM »
ALARM OK
PERIODICITY
MEASURE
58
Each parameter that has a threshold is checked every 240 min (this value can be changed). If the value exceeds the threshold, then the sensor measures all the measurements of the configuration and sends them back to the database.
The “Alarm Monitoring Periodicity” is set in the gateway @ …/Eagle/Settings page (see Chapter 4 6 “Alarm monitoring” page 45).
By default, the periodicity is set to 240 minutes (4 h).
WARNING Be aware that using this feature will affect drastically the battery lifetime.
For example, monitoring 1 parameter every 10 minutes with a mono-axis sensor will decrease its lifetime to 14 months. 2 parameters will decrease its lifetime to 6 months.
See Chapter 5 6.1 “Periodic acquisition” and Chapter 5 6.2 “Alarm status change” to know how to use this feature.
6.3. ACQUISITION ON CONDITION OCCURRENCE (C)
Used to trigger an acquisition each time an operating condition occurs. Do not select this option if no operating condition has previously been defined.
You can use Modbus to link your gateway to a PLC.
WARNING Be aware that using this feature will affect drastically the battery lifetime if conditions change frequently > 6/day.
Do not use this feature on a machine with conditions that change frequently.
