1 General Information
1.1 Safety Instructions

LPR®-1D24 Systems are purely tracking and assistance systems. They

therefore do not satisfy special requirements for personal safety.

Follow the safety instructions in this documentation!

1.2 Mounting

All mounting, installation and maintenance work must be carried out by

an electrically qualified or trained person!

1.3 Repairs

Repairs on the devices should only be performed by Symeo GmbH.

1.4 Transport and Storage

Use the original packaging or other suitable packaging for returns and
whenever the system is to be transported. This ensures protection from
crushing, impact, moisture and electrostatic discharge.

During setup and before operation, refer to the instructions for

environmental conditions in this document and in the data sheet.
Place the cables in such a way so that they do not build the possible
cause of risk and are not damaged.

1.5 Power Supply

While installing or using it in open-air, the transient overvoltage cannot

be excluded. Here, overvoltage protection is to be used for low voltage
in accordance to DIN EN 61643-21 and IEC 61643-21.
While connecting the plug and sockets, please observe the
correspondent chapter in this document "Specification of Connectors".
Do not use damaged cables (damaged insulation, bare wires). A
defective cable may cause a fire hazard.
Be careful that the device can be damaged with reverse polarity despite
of strict implementation of polarity reversal protection. In that case the
unit must be sent to the SYMEO service for further testing.

2 Overview of LPR®-1D24 Unit

LPR®-1D24 is a highly precise radio sensor for distance measurement. Two paired units
allow for long range applications and enable additional data transfer at the same time. The
exact position of a moving machine component, e.g. a crane or crane trolley, can thus be
dynamically determined in real-time, while data collected at one end (e.g. a load cell input) is
available at the paired unit simultaneously.

Figure 1: LPR -1D24 measurement path

In addition to the distance reading, the relative approach speed of the LPR® sensors is
available. Distance and speed can be used for internal collision avoidance decisions at
predetermined distance thresholds. Optional on-board relays will be activated. All data is
made available at standard interfaces.
The devices are easy to install and operate. Rough alignment between the facing units is
sufficient, even for very long distances. The multi-channel radio antenna is integrated into the
robust housing. A built-in terminal server allows straightforward configuration of the unit ID,
the paired unit ID and other parameters in any browser.
Symeo LPR® radio works highly reliable under adverse conditions. Interference with any WiFi
equipment operating in parallel can be excluded at all times. A unique ID per each unit allows
operating multiple pairs in immediate vicinity.
LPR®-1D24 sensors are maintenance-free and paired sensors can be interconnected with
other pairs, providing several distances at a single interface, e.g. for crane xy position
acquired by two sensor pairs.

3 Mounting and Alignment of LPR®-1D24 Units

 The device must be secured against falling.

 All mounting, installation and maintenance work must be carried out by

electrician or a person with similar training and skills!
The LPR®-1D24 units are delivered with a separate mounting bracket (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 shows a complete system including the mounting bracket. The bracket must be
mounted with a pipe clamp on a pipe. The pipe diameter is best chosen between 40 mm and
75 mm. For mounting, a flat wrench of SW 13 is required.

For mounting the system, please proceed as follows:

 At a suitable place, mount the LPR®-1D24 unit to a suitable pipe with the bracket. To
adjust the system, do not tighten the mounting bracket finally. Specified alignments have
to be adhered to if indicated by Symeo.
 A minimum distance of 3 meters between the measuring system units must be
maintained to guarantee the specified accuracy. Mounting closer than the minimum
distance decreases the accuracy at close proximity.
 The units must have the same orientation for mounting, for example both units with
connectors downwards. For outdoor use the units have to be mounted with the
connectors downwards.
 Now adjust the system on the opposite side.
 The two system units should be mounted opposite to each other and possibly should not
be an offset horizontal and vertical from each other or twisted.
 Now fix the system by tightening the screws in the mounting bracket and the mounting
bracket on pipe in such a way that no modification is possible anymore. Flat wrench SW
13 is required.

3.1 Mounting of the Fall Protection

The LPR®-1D24 units must be protected against fall. For every unit Symeo provides a
protection set consisting of the following components:

A: 2 x ring nuts M5,

B: 2 x snap hooks 5 x 50 mm

C: 1 x steel cable 3 mm x 1 m

The two ring nuts must be mounted on the back of the LPR®-1D24 unit laterally on the
respective second screw from above, which are 4 mm longer than the other screws. Then
the snap hook must be attached to the ring nuts. Please put the steel cable around a pipe or
a bracket and hang it also in the snap hook (see picture below).

The backup set should be installed before the assembly of the unit to
secure it against falling.

 Measurement mode

o Measuring mode for the LPR®-1D24 unit. Any measuring pair of LPR®-1D24 units has
to consist of one Master and one Slave Unit.
 FSK communication channel

o Data communication channel number. Has to be the same on all units needing to
communicate with each other.
o The lowest usable communication channel is channel 16, the highest usable channel
is channel 95, depending on the configuration of the device. A set of 20, 40 or 80
usable channels can be configured.
 Measurement channel

o Changes ramp slope of measurements. Has to be configured identically on Master

and Slave Unit of one pair. Can be changed to separate interfering pairs when other
pairs are close by.

Configuration rules:
 Don’t use a group ID more than once per site.
 If pairs of LPR®-units are mounted close to each other, the FSK
channels should be at least two channels apart from each other.
 The bandwidth variation number should stay on the default value 0.

7.6.4 Diagnostics - Signal Strength over Distance Diagram

Figure 27 – Diagnostics: Signal strength over distance diagram

This diagram shows the recorded distance-signal strength pairs since the last power-on. You
can use it to detect abnormal signal propagation routes at certain constellations of the two
LPR®-1D24 stations, as the signal strength should decrease with increasing distance.

The diagram is automatically refreshed every 10 seconds.

The distance axis displays the distance between the two LPR®-1D24 stations, and the RSSI
axis the received signal strength in dB. As the signal strength at specific distances may vary,
the statistical distribution of the signal strength is also recorded. Displayed are the mean
received signal strength, the 10 % quantile and the 90 % quantile. The Quantiles give you
information about how many recorded signal strength values were lower than the
corresponding line. 10 % of the recorded signal strengths were lower than the 10 % quantile
line and 90 % were lower than the 90 % quantile line, leaving 80 % in between those two
lines. This way you get an idea of the signal strength distribution per distance without
including extreme outliers. This helps identifying distances with increased signal distortions
(e.g. due to multipath signal propagation), as the variance of the signal strength there usually
increases.
