Installation

Pre-Installation Guidelines

Complete the steps below when receiving a Type 27 sensor with the heads disconnected.

  1. Connect the heads of the sensor.
  2. Remove the four screws and open the lid carefully.
  3. Press the red button labeled “R”
    • *this will force the sensor to reset.
  4. Replace and secure the lid.

Where is the ideal location to place the sensor?

The ideal place for this sensor would be near area where people operate to determine the air quality of the area. It is also important that the sensor is placed within range of the Gateway in order to transmit data.

A. Sensor Main Body Mount (Transmitter): During mounting:

  1. Before installing a sensor, it should be reset while at the location where it will be mounted.  This will allow it to "learn" the mesh network, it's place in the network, and the best path(s) to a gateway or repeater.
  2. Install the main sensor box as high as possible to avoid any object which might come in between the sensor and modem/gateway
  3. The Sensor's antenna should not be installed inside any metal box

Your sensor should be placed away from air pollution sources. The air quality sensor will also need to be attached to a metal rod.

When mounted correctly the sensor should sit firmly in place and not be able to wobble or easily move.
