2. Installation
Installation Considerations
It is very important to place the sensor in an ideal location, away from air conditioning flow, windows, and ceiling fans.
1. If the room has a ceiling fan, try to place the sensor at least 1.5 meters from the center of the fan to avoid inaccurate readings.
2. Avoid placing the sensor directly in front of the air; if you do, ensure it is at least 2 meters away.
3. When installing in bedrooms, it is recommended to place it as close as possible to the headboard without violating the previous recommendations.
If the sensor will be installed in an area where no one sleeps, it’s a good idea to disable 'Night Mode.' If it will be installed in a location where people sleep, 'Night Mode' must be enabled, with a minimum wait time of 2 hours set for the night.
Install the motion sensor away from fan blades to prevent interference within its field of view.
Avoid installing the sensor directly above the fan, as the blades will obstruct its field of view and cause false triggers.
Install the sensor at a safe distance from the air conditioner vent to prevent airflow from entering its primary detection zone.
Avoid positioning the sensor where the air conditioner blows directly into its detection zone, as rapid temperature changes will cause false triggers.
The sensor has a detection area of 5 to 6 meters in diameter, depending on the ceiling height. When installing in bedrooms, it is recommended to place it as close to the bed as possible without violating the previous recommendations.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that there are no cables or pipes where you plan to install the sensor to avoid puncturing them when drilling.
Mounting with Screw
Position the mounting accessory on the ceiling where the sensor will be installed and mark the center hole with a pencil.
Use a drill to make a hole
Insert the anchor and screw in the mounting accessory.
Mounting with Double-Sided Tape
Use the provided double-sided tape and remove the protective layer.
Clean the area and place the accessory in your chosen location, pressing down for a few seconds until it is secure.
The sensor has 2 holes that should be inserted into the mounting accessory.
