Page 18: System Description
LPR-2DB has an in-build communication channel to handle all background communication necessary for operation of the positioning system. LPR-2DB units use the same frequency band and the same hardware for communicating as for measuring distance. This means that no external WLAN or cable networks are needed for transmitting measurement values and other reference data.
Page 19: Operating Mode
Temperature inside the housing can range from -40°C to 85°C. Operating Mode ® There are different system topologies to determine a 2D position with a Symeo LPR system. Which operating is best suited depends on the application and the environment. It depends on the number of mobile units you want to track and on the number of cells which are necessary to cover the environment.
Page 20: Operation Mode 2: Managed Cell
Measurement rate for the stations present can be set to equal distribution for all mobile units or to a preferred channel with maximum measurement rate for one base-station and slower measurement rate for the remaining stations. System Description Copyright © Symeo 2012 Page 20 of 132...
Page 21: Operation Mode 3: Tdoa
All base-stations within the cell receive the signal and compute the time-difference between the received signals. The time- difference is used to obtain the position. System Description Copyright © Symeo 2012 Page 21 of 132...
Page 22: Vehicle Model
The sequence is set by the user. Vehicle Model To determine a 2D-position with an LPR-2DB system a Kalmar filter is used. Therefore a system model is necessary which represents the system. Depending on the vehicle type in your application different models can be used: ...
Page 23: Hover-Track
-System ® -2DB Product Documentation The model is set by Symeo by delivery. 3.3.1 Hover-Track The HoverTrack model is used for vehicles that can move in x- and y-direction but cannot turn over its center. A typical example is the trolley of a crane. The name based on a hovercraft which can move forward and backward as well as sideward.
Page 24: Positioning
The settings for the files are described in chapter 7.2. The access to the LPR-2DB Station can either be done via TCP/IP or via RS232 interface. The LPR-2DB Integral Station and the master LPR-2DB Integral Station can only be accessed via the frequency channel of the mobile station.
Page 25 Furthermore in the files for the FusionEngine are set the parameters of the model (see chapter 3.3) as well as the settings for the antennas (coordinates, calibration). The position calculated in the FusionEngine can be graphical shown with the software Symeo MAP (see chapter 0). System Description Copyright © Symeo 2012...

All corresponding installation, repair and servicing work must be carried out by qualified and trained technicians. If the LPR-2DB Integral Station is installed on a pole, it must be secured to ensure that it does not slip. If the direct current is incorrectly connected, the LPR-2DB Integral Station will be damaged and must be returned to the SYMEO service for further inspection.
Page 34: Components Of Lpr-2Db Integral Station
Strain relief clamps are applied to the base to avoid mechanical stress on the power supply cables. The LPR-2DB Integral Station can be fixed onto the mounting bracket with the two screws provided with the base.

Page 42: Mounting Of Lpr Antennas
Therefore, when installing the antenna fixture, ensure that no components are blocking the line of sight between the antennas. If necessary, contact the SYMEO technical department. If you change the position of one antenna, this will affect the measurement data that is output.
Page 43: Notes For Mounting Position Of Lpr Antennas On The Mobile Unit
Notes for mounting position of LPR antennas on the mobile unit Considering the correct mounting position of the antennas you have to take care to guarantee a free line of sight between the antenna(s) on the vehicle and all LPR-2DB Integral Stations.
Page 44 The position of the antenna(s) is in some cases a trade-off between minimizing the error due to construction barrier on the vehicle and the minimizing the rotation error. Contact Symeo if there are questions regarding the installation position of the antenna.

Product Documentation 10 Symeo 2D Protocol 10.1 Introduction / Basics The Symeo 2D protocol is the interface between the LPR 2D system and the user. To keep the protocol simple (i.e. easy to parse) the following aspects are considered: ...
Page 107 (0,0) is sent and LOCKSTATE has a value of 0 or 1. In some applications additional protocol output could be generated (not only every OutputInterval_ms). If SYMEO software detects an event (e.g. a container lift), an additional output is generated at the time of the event.
