by that sensor. Using the wedge bracket on the left or right side angle will provide the 45 degree
orientation.
 In narrow hallways, or for the Near Door sensor, installing the sensor above the doorway may be the
best method for installing. In this instance, the standard bracket should be used, without a wedge.
Before finishing the install and leaving the senior’s residence, perform a Walkaround Test (in Assign Rooms
and Sensor Roles section) to verify conditions are met.
There may be situations where there are still more sensors needed to satisfy these rules, such as bathrooms
that exit into two different rooms, bathrooms near main entrance, etc. In these cases, either the Living Area or
Outside Bath roles should be assigned. Be sure when adding any additional sensors, that they don’t monitor
the same area as another sensor, and can’t see into the bedroom the senior sleeps in at night, or into any
bathrooms.

 Only the bathroom sensor should be able to see activity inside a bathroom. No other sensors should
be allowed to detect motion inside a bathroom.
 Position the sensor to pick up movement coming into and within the bathroom.
o CAUTION: Make sure the sensor cannot see outside the bathroom.
 If the house has 2 or more bathrooms that the senior uses, place the sensor in the bathroom that the
senior uses at night. Most falls occur at night in the bathroom.
 If possible, place the sensor on the wall facing both the toilet and sink—so it is triggered when the
senior uses either.
 If a mirror is the only viable location for the sensor, mount it near the edge that is closer to the mesh
router — so the RF signal has the best chance of reaching the antenna. (Mirrors are often backed with
a metalized substance and may also be on the door to a metal medicine cabinet.).
 After determining the appropriate placement, mount the wedge bracket if installing sensor vertically,
using screws included. Attach the standard bracket to the wedge bracket.
