gumband PS001 Presence Sensor
Overview
Introduction
Gum band’s Presence Sensor will let you and your team capture real-time engagement data for your in-person spaces and experiences.
The unit is powered by a privacy-centric sensor using 60 GHz mm Wave radar, with on-board processing for dwell tracking and interface control. This sensor allows for maximum simultaneous tracking of 20 people in a space, with up to a 6 m x 6 m tracking area and 120° field of view (FoV).
Power over Ethernet (PoE) enables a single cable solution for power and data, as well as live data visualization over a network connection.

Inputs/Outputs
Setup
- Log in to the Gum band platform at app.gumband.com and follow the on screen instructions to connect your device to your exhibit.
- The sensor status LED will illuminate solid white once the device has booted and the radar is enabled.
Please see our troubleshooting guide if the sensor status LED displays another color or pattern. - The connection status LED will slowly pulse green once the device is connected to the Gum band Cloud.
Please see our troubleshooting guide if the connection status LED displays another color or pattern. - The sensor will automatically begin streaming data once these steps have been completed successfully.
Placement
Instructions
The sensor must be mounted rigidly to a solid structure in order to prevent excess vibrations that can negatively impact data quality.
The ideal mounting height for the unit is approximately 2.5 meters (8 feet) above the floor. This height helps prevent individuals in the foreground from blocking the field of view (FoV), while providing optimal signal strength and coverage area. While the unit can function when mounted at other heights, coverage area and sensitivity may be reduced.
There is a single 1/4”-20 threaded hole on the center of the rear of the unit (standard camera tripod mount).
Mounting Specifications
| FoV | 120° |
| Coverage Area | 6.0 m x 6.0 m (19.5 ft x 19.5 ft) |
| Angle | ~20° (+/–10°) † |
| Orientation | Cable up or cable down † |
| Height | 2.5 m (8 ft) ‡ |
† The unit will auto configure itself for its orientation and will report an error if the orientation is invalid (see troubleshooting section).
‡ If the mounting height is other than recommended it should be reconfigured via the device dashboard at app.gumband.com.
Placement
Object Interference
While the sensor is generally resilient to signal noise from nearby stationary objects, minimizing objects within the field of view (FoV) will minimize interference.
Objects that may cause the most interference include:
- Objects that may partially/fully occlude individuals;
- Moving objects, such as sliding doors and fans;
- Objects with highly reflective surfaces, such as large metal objects.
- Objects suspended from the ceiling, such as ducts, wire trays, speakers, and sprinklers.
Entry & Exit
To optimize data capture, minimize the areas in which individuals may stand or move along the edge of the FoV, where they might frequently transition in and out of the detection range.
Designing set entry and exit points or mounting the sensor in a location that takes advantage of existing barriers, such as in a corner, can prevent access to edge areas and blind spots.
Multi-Device Interference
Interference may occur when two or more devices are in close proximity, leading to reduced signal strength and overall diminished performance. To optimize sensor performance, avoid overlapping fields of view and minimize the number of co-located devices.
Troubleshooting
Device Status
The unit includes two status LEDs, next to the Ethernet connection port and opposite the reset button.
If neither the sensor status LED nor the Ethernet connector LED is illuminated, the device is not receiving power. In this case, verify that the wired network connection is a valid Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection.
In the event of a system or sensor error, component logs available on the Gum band platform will provide detailed information about the specific failure.
