Installation requirements
It is recommended to install the Air Quality and
Noise Smart Spot devices on walls, streetlights
or masts at between 2.5 and 4meters above
the ground in order to make it difficult for
passersby to access these devices. The
recommended installation height is between 3
and 3.5 meter, which will allow an appropriate
monitoring of the different environmental
parameters as well and at the same matches
with the high recommend for noise and air
quality standard installation.
The device is composed by two enclosures.
One of them is the Smart Spot Core Box while
the other one is the Air Quality Extension Box,
containing the Gas, Particulate Matter sensors
and also the Noise sensor.
Both enclosures are provided with an
installation kit suitable both for installation on
wall or pole.
Note that these enclosures will be united by
means of a communication cable which
provided of 35cm, 60cm or 100cm depending of
the installation type. If not specified, 100cm
cable will be provided by default to allow any
kind of installation.
The device includes different electronic circuits
that are sensitive to electromagnetic
interference. Therefore, in order to ensure
correct performance, it is essential that the
device is located far enough away from
possible sources of interference such as
electrical transformers or signal repeaters.
It should also avoid being placed next to
possible sources of pollution, such as industrial
chimneys or kitchen exhaust fumes.
Air quality sensors are designed to measure
global values. Placing them close to sources of
pollution could lead to high concentration
measurements that do not correspond to the
actual values in the environment.

Electrical requirements
There are two possible options available to power the Smart Spot devices. The usual power supply
method is to provide the feed through a single phase 230V plug, where an AC Adapter is attached to
adequate the voltage level to the Smart Spot . The AC Adapter is provided in conjunction with the Smart
Spot and the cable length is 1.2 meters long (Figure 1).
!
Optionally and depending on the configuration of the Smart Spot, it is possible to enable Power
Over Ethernet. Ask whether is possible to enable this option into your specific hardware
configuration.

Recommendations
Regarding the installation modes, although the
Smart Spot devices can be installed on walls,
masts or streetlights, there are different
recommendations that should be beared in
mind in order to find the best locations to
install Smart Spot devices for a more accurate
monitoring.
Noise monitoring data, for instance, are more
accurate and reliable when the device is
installed 2 meters from a wall. On this way, the
noise reflected on the walls are avoided, as
described at ISO 1996-2 2009. Nonetheless,
the Smart Spot allows to introduce a correction
parameter for wall installation (-3dB) as
described on the normative, to avoid the
reflected noise. Moreover, to reach an accurate
Air Quality monitoring, the device should be
installed avoiding nearby transformers and
antennas that may cause interferences gas
sensors.
Additionally, it is essential to exclude certain
areas in which is allowed to smoke or there are
smoke extractors from coffee shops or
kitchens in order to avoid interference in
measurements of gases and particulate matter.
As a final recommendation it is also
recommended to install the devices in open and
clean spaces for a more accurate and efficient
monitoring of both noise and air quality
parameters.

Installation procedure
1. First steps
1) Connect the WIFI, GPRS and GPS antennas in the Smart Spot Core Box. In the back of the Box
is indicated the position of each antenna
2) Connect the Microphone in the Air Quality Extension Box
3) Connect the Smart Spot Communication Cable to the Smart Spot Core Box and to the Air
Quality Extension Box
4) Check that the antennas, the microphone and the Cable are strongly screwed
5) Locate the position in which the boxes are to be placed, and check that it is away from
possible electromagnetic interference sources and pollution sources.
6) Place the boxes in the possible location so that the Smart Spot Communication Cable is at the
bottom of the box and make sure that the are close enough so that the cable is not stressed.
a) In case of mounting on a mast, place the Smart Spot Core Box over the Air Quality
Expansion Box (Figure 7)
b) In wall mounting place the Smart Spot Core Box to the right of the Air Quality
Expansion Box (Figure 11)
Once you have checked the location where the boxes will be fixed, continue with the following steps
depending of the installation type.
c) In case of mounting on a mast, follow the point 2.A
d) In case of wall mounting, follow the point 2.B

Devices identificators
The devices that HOP Ubiquitous provides are
identified through a nameplate in which the
owner, the type of device (Smart Spot Core Box
or Smart Spot Air Quality Extension Box) and
the unique ID of each device are specified
(Figures 18 and 19).
The Smart Spot Core Box, the Air Quality
Expansion Box and the Microphone has an ID,
and this must be connected to others with the
same ID. If you have received several devices,
be sure to perform the connection between
elements with the same ID.
