Sensor Installation

1. Decide HOW to install

• Check if locations apply to prerequisites

  • chest-level (1m60/5.25 feet), preferably next to a light switch or HVAC control unit

  • not over a heating body or in direct sunlight

  • not behind a cupboard, a tv, ...

• Indicate on the Sensor Plan where to place all sensors, incl where the sensor placement deviates from this normal procedure


2. Prep the sensor

If 1 sensor (or just a few) is purchased, the batteries are IN the sensor; they can be activated by pulling the tab.

Caution: Using batteries other than the ones provided may result in loss of performance and battery life, and also damage to the device. Dispose of properly, observing environmental protection rules.

3. Mount the back panel on the wall using some of the six mounting holes: there are 6 points where you can set a screw, mount using at least 2 screws. Alternatively, it can also be mounted using adhesive tape.Image Removed
