SECTION 2
Installing STE-8000 sensors
This section provides important instructions and guidelines for
installing the STE-8000 series sensors. Carefully review this
information before installing the controllers.
Installing the sensors includes the following topics that are covered in this
section.

Planning for
motion sensing
For STE-8201 only—Mount the STE-8201 sensor on a wall that will have an
unobstructed view of the typical traffic in the coverage area. When choosing a
location, do not install the sensor in the following areas.
Behind curtains or other obstructions
In locations that will expose it to sunlight or heat sources
Near a heating/cooling duct.
For details on the coverage pattern, see Specifications
on page 6.
The effective detection range is approximately 10 meters or 33 feet. Factors that
may reduce the range include:
The difference between the surface temperature of the object and the
background temperature of the room is too small.
Object movement in a direct line toward the sensor.
Very slow or very fast object movement.
