Learning Objectives

After reading this article, you’ll be able to:

  • Define the ideal installation location for Milesight CO2 sensor

  • Install Milesight CO2 sensor

Milesight CO2 Sensor gathers data for Humidity + CO2 + Temperature.

Find here the checklist for installation: Checklist hardware on-site visit/installation.

Packing list

Sensor Installation

Preparation

Check if locations apply to prerequisites

  • It is recommended to install at least 1.5 m high from floor level

  • Do not mount the device where the temperature is below/above operating range and
    temperature varies greatly.

  • Stay far away from any heat source or cold source like oven or sunlight, refrigerators or other cold sources, liquids and extreme temperature change.

  • Do not mount the device close to where airflow varies greatly like windows, vent, fan and air
    conditioner.

  • Do not mount the device upside down.

  • Do not place the device right to the window or door. If you have to, you’d better pull the
    curtain.

Indicate on the Prepare your sensor plan where to place all sensors, incl. where the sensor placement deviates from this normal procedure.

Installation

  1. Take a configured device

Remember to write down the sensor ID next to the location ID before the next step.

  1. Follow the steps described below, depending on the method: with tape or with screws:

Method 1: Using Tape

  1. Fix the bottom of the device to the rear cover with the theft-deterring screw.

  2. Paste the 3M double-sided tape to the back of the device, then tear the other side and place it on a flat surface.

Method 2: Using Screws

  1. Remove the rear cover of the device

  2. Screw the wall plugs into the wall and fix the rear cover with screws on it, then install the sensor device.

  3. Fix the bottom of the device to the rear cover with the theft-deterring screw.

This device must not be placed near any louver, air vent, or other places exposed to fresh air (e.g., windows, door openings). Such placement will give false CO2 values.

Next steps

Now that all devices are calibrated, they can be deployed on the Spacewell platform to start sending data. See Milesight CO2 Sensor Deployment
