Pre-Installation
This section provides the following pre-installation information:
• Location considerations
• Height requirements
• Mounting surfaces
Location Considerations
Placement of the sensor is critical to proper operation. When selecting a location, avoid the
following:
• Areas of direct sunlight
• Areas in the direct airstream of air diffusers
• Exterior walls and other walls that have a temperature differential between the two sides
• Areas that are close to heat sources such as sunlight, appliances, concealed pipes, chimneys,
or other heat-generating equipment
• Drafty areas
• Dead spots behind doors, projection screens, or corners
• Walls that are subject to high vibration
• Areas with high humidity
• High traffic areas (to reduce accidental damage or tampering)
Height Requirements
The recommended maximum mounting height is 54 inches from the bottom of the back plate to
the floor. If a parallel approach by a person in a wheelchair is required, reduce the maximum height
to 48 inches.
Note: Consult section 4.27.3 of the 2002 ADA (Americans with Disability Act) guideline, and local
building codes, for further details regarding wheelchair requirements.
Mounting Surfaces
Using the hardware provided, mount the back plate to a flat surface such as sheetrock or plaster,
or an electrical junction box. The sensor must be mounted plumb for accurate temperature control
and to ensure proper air movement through the sensor.
• If mounting onto sheetrock or plaster, use the plastic threaded anchors (pre-drilling holes is not
usually necessary) and the two M3.5 x 20 mm mounting screws.
• For mounting onto an electrical junction box, use the two 6-32 x 3/4 in. screws.
