7.2 Installing each satellite
7.4 Fix satellites with screws
7.1 Satellite ID’s
Connect the pulled cables to each satellite. The cables cannot be
installed wrong as they only t to the connector one way.
Each satellite has an individual ID, shown on a label at the rear
of the satellite. Please make sure that each satellite is placed
correctly as illustrated.
7.3 Installing the termination plug
The satellites must be xed to the poles with 3 screws.
The holes on the poles are placed asymmetrically to ensure
correct orientation.
However it would be advisable to wait and rst x the screws at
the very end after you had completed the small startup tests.
Insert the termination plug in the ID 7 satellite.
This plug ends the communication ow between
the satellites. Without this plug inserted the installation
will not work properly.
Important!
Important!
Correct placement of the
satellites is needed in order
for the games to work as
intended! For example ID 0
is the satellite where you
select games and must be
installed at the game-selector
console.
Steel poles have 3,5 mm air
holes near the top. Please
make sure they are clear!
They enable potential mois-
ture to leave the poles.

The power supply (iPSU) must be placed in a dry area.
It has been designed for outdoor temperatures,
but should not be exposed to direct water (rain or water spray).
Recommended placement is inside a nearby building or in a vandal
proof metal cabinet placed near the playground.
A standard 110V / 230V power outlet must be available or installed.
Typical specications for the cabinet:
Dimensions: 400 x 400 x 250 mm (Power supply dimensions: 263 x 183 x 91 mm.
Vandalism proof metal cabinet with at least 1 key lock.
At least 1 (preferable 2-3) socket(s) with ground installed in the cabinet.
Important!
Power and cabinet
installation must be
handled by an electrician.

In idle mode all satellites lights up individually and can be used
individually. This mode is often a hit for minor children and designed
to create awareness.
The platform will go in idle mode if games are not selected. The
system will turn off and only wake up every now and then and show
colors to attract attention. Touching any satellite will bring the system
back and you willl be able to select games at the select game console.
Thanks for your effort installing another PlayAlive product.
9.1 Start up the system
Turn the power on at the IPSU. The satellites boot up and after few
minutes the power supply box should indicate two green lights. The
system is now ready to play.
9.2 Select Game
9.3 Reset the Game
9.4 Idle mode
Go to the console where satellite 0 is installed. Please select
a game by touching the satellite. The satellite toggles be-
tween 3 different colors. When the satellites indicate the yel-
low color it indicates that you can choose the game E-tennis.
See more at section 10 select games.
Touch the satellite 0 for 5 seconds and you will reset your current game and
be able to select a new game.
To adjust the volume, follow this procedure:
1. Turn off power
2. Wait 5 seconds
3. Turn on power
4. Wait for the select game menu to appear (switching between
different colors)
5. Select a game for example e-tennis.
6. When the game is on please touch and hold satellite 0 until
the satellite speak: “Set volume” – then release satellite.
7. Touch/tap satellite 0 repeatedly to adjust the volume
8. Volume adjustments are automatically saved and will remain
at this level until you adjust it again.
NOTE: It is rather important to have a certain sound level
in order to experience the full joy of the individual PlayAlive
activities.
If you have been able to conduct the elements as described at section
9.2 - 9.3 the PlayAlive site has beeen successfully installed.
9.5 Adjust Volume if needed
Green lights

The PlayAlive system is an interactive system. The technology elements
communicate with each other and thereby make it possible to realize
activities for all ages.
The visible part of the installation is the “satellites”. The satellites
are intelligent units that contain light, sound, touch sensor, and
communication. They act as the user interface to the system. Cables
connected to satellites supply them with power and communication.
IMPORTANT: BE CAREFUL WHEN HANDLING THE PARTS.
The PlayAlive technology elements are highly advanced electronics.
Despite the fact that they are very robust after installation, they can
easily be damaged before or during installation if not treated correctly.
NOTE: ALL PARTS ARE DESIGNED TO FIT TOGETHER WITHOUT THE
NEED OF USING FORCE.
When using exible cable pipes it is important to ensure that the
minimum bending radius complies too the following:
For our devicenet cables, we recommend 28/34 mm exible cable pipe /
conduit pipe with double walls for easy pulling of the cables.
Please note that low cost cable pipes are very soft and therefore very
easy to bend in inappropriate radiuses – they are not recommended!
It is further recommended to place covers over the ends of the cable
pipes during the period from installation of the pipes to installation of the
electronics to avoid water in the pipes.
When installing the cable pipes it is recommended to ensure that care
is taken to ensure that the pulling string in the pipes are kept available.
It makes pulling the cables a lot easier. If this is not possible, then we
recommend that you use vacuum (ex. a vacuum cleaner) to suck a
pulling string through. It has proven easier than other methods.
In some cases it is possible to push the cable through the pipes without
other help. In cases where this is not possible, it is recommended to use
a pulling string.
Please be aware that the PlayAlive cables are not designed to be pulled
in the connectors. When pulling the cables please make sure that you
pull the cable and not the connector.
