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 from brand Tesa Powerbond Ultra Strong (5m * 19mm) for the motion sensors. This tape is strong and works 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 100 sensors per roll.
Best practice:
- Tape: Press the tape in the crook of the sensor to ensure good adhesion / bigger surface area
