Mounting Tips
 Position sensors so that other permanent infrared heat sources, such as air from heating or cooling
vents, heat lamps, etc., will not interfere.
 Do not place sensors on or next to surfaces or objects that might provide RF or electrical interference:
electrical panels, motors, air-conditioning or heating units, fluorescent lights, dimmer switches, metal
air ducts, foil-backed insulation, foil-based wallpaper, mirrors, or metal-meshed plaster walls.
 Due to the detection zones on the sensor, installing the sensor near the corner of a standard
rectangular room at a 45 degree orientation will help ensure that most of the room is being monitored
by that sensor.
Sensor at 45 degrees toward door
 In narrow hallways, or for the Near Door sensor, installing the sensor above the doorway may be the
best method for installing.
Before finishing the installation and leaving the senior’s residence, perform a Walkaround Test 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 at night, or into any
bathrooms.
