7. Sensor position
7.8 Outdoor installations
7.8.1 Position exposed to precipitation
If the sensor installation position might be exposed to precipitation that can cause undesired alarms, it is
recommended to take the following precautions:
l
Make a cover to protect the sensor from rain, hail or snow.
l
Position the sensor so that it does not frame the ground where puddles might form.
NOTICE: Weather conditions outside specifications can prematurely age the device.
7.8.2 Recommendations for covering the sensor
Below are some recommendations for creating and installing a sensor cover:
l
height from sensor: 15 cm (6 in)
l
width: minimum 30 cm (11.8 in), maximum 40 cm (15.7 in)
l
protrusion from the sensor: minimum 15 cm (6 in), maximum 20 cm (7.9 in)
l
water outflow: at the sides or behind but not in front of the sensor (the cover should be arched and/or tilted
backwards)
7.8.3 Recommendations for positioning the sensor
Below are some recommendations for defining the sensor position:
l
installation height (from the ground to the center of the sensor): minimum 15 cm (5.9 in)
l
suggested inclination: minimum 15° for S201A model, 10° for S203A model
Before installing a sensor facing downwards, make sure there are neither liquids nor radar reflective materials on
the floor.
Note: if the above recommendations are followed and the monitored area is free of static objects, the system is
robust against a rainfall rate up to 45 mm/h.
7.8.4 Position not exposed to precipitation
If the installation position of the sensor is not exposed to precipitation, no special precautions are required.
