Installing
1 Place the device in a location which ensures the following:
• Easy access to any externally-connected wires
• ZigBee mesh networking eciency
Note: Make sure the device has good ZigBee wireless
reception by (1) ensuring it is within range of another
ZigBee device and (2) avoiding other electrical
equipment that may cause interference with the ZigBee
signal (such as cordless telephones that operate on the
2.4 GHz frequency.)
• Avoiding unnecessary exposure to extreme environmental
conditions.
IMPORTANT! Do not place the device in direct sunlight.
2 If an external thermistor is used with the device, place
it away from direct sunlight, drafts, doorways, skylights,
windows, and exterior walls for best accuracy.
3 Detach the tray from the cover by inserting a flat screwdriver
into the opening slot in the side of the cover and pushing in
gently, while at the same time pulling the cover out and away
from the tray.

Tray
The cover holds the radio logic board
(the actual device) and pins, the IR
ports, the internal contact, and the
USB power connector. The cover
attaches to the tray. The tray holds the
wiring terminals and is mounted to a
wall or flat surface.
The cover “rocks” into contact with
the tray. To separate the two, insert a
screwdriver or other flat object into the
opening slot on the side of the cover,
gently push in and then “rock” it away
from the tray.
4 Position the tray against the wall or other flat surface.
5 If you are using the internal contact, position the device so
that the narrow indentation that marks the internal contact
(on the long edge of the cover) aligns with the external
magnet (not included).

6 Mark the locations of the four screw holes on the wall.
7 If mounting the device to drywall, remove the tray from the
wall and drill four 3/16-inch (4.75mm) mounting holes at the
four screw hole locations (B) previously marked on the wall.
