Tape placement
Jenny is responsible for keeping our internal stock of tape + glue at a certain level: At HQ, when you need tape and/or glue, contact Hilde + Jenny and mention the amount of sensors concerned.
For sensor installation (motion, comfort, door counter), we advise using double sided tape.
At Spacewell, we always use double sided tape and have made good experiences with 3M VHB Tape and TENTA tape for the motion sensors. These tapes are strong and work for all the different types of sensors.
We estimate that you use 3-5cm per sensor, and 6cm for a door counter (2 parts for 1 sensor). So, you can probably hang roughly 70-100 sensors per roll (both 3M VHB Tape and TENTA tape come on 3m rolls).
Best practices:
- Press the tape in the crook of the sensor to ensure good adhesion / bigger surface area
- The more tape you use, the better the adherence. From this perspective, the TENTA tape (2,5cm wide) is a bit better than the 3M WHB tape (1,9cm wide)
