Positioning:Bathroom
 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 occurs 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 bracket using screws included.
Positioning:Bedroom
 Only the Bedroom sensor should see activity in the bed (or area where client sleeps at night.). No
other sensor should be able to detect activity in the bedroom.
 Place sensor inside the bedroom such that it captures as much activity in the bedroom as possible
(including bed).
 If bathroom is inside bedroom, be sure the bedroom sensor is placed such that it will detect the senior
leaving the bathroom before they are able to then exit bedroom.
 Placing the sensor in the corner of the room, and rotating it 45 degrees towards the room will give you
maximum coverage. If bathroom is in bedroom, placing the sensor on the same wall as bathroom
door, where it won’t be blocked by opened doors, is best.
 After determining the appropriate placement, mount the bracket using screws included.
Positioning:LivingArea
This sensor may not be necessary in Studio, and smaller One Bedroom apartments, where the Outside
Bathroom is already able to detect motion in the main activity area of the home.
 Place this sensor such that it is able to detect as much activity as possible in the area of the home
where the client spends the most time outside the bedroom. Generally the living room or T.V. room.
o CAUTION: Make sure the sensor cannot see inside the bathroom or bedroom.
 Motion detected by this sensor during the senior’s AM Bedroom Exit window will signal that the client
is awake. So if possible, position the sensor such that it cannot see the senior’s bed or area where
senior sleeps at night.
 If possible, try to place the sensor such that it can detect both the main activity area of the home, and
the path the senior would take on their way out of the home from the bedroom or bathroom.
 After determining the appropriate placement, mount the bracket using screws included.
