INSTALLATION
Placing the SONARIS
The SONARIS should be placed on a stable, vibration-free, level surface such as a table or
desktop. It can also be mounted on a wall. The location chosen should be in a safe area where
it will not be in the way of normal traffic. It should be free of temperature extremes and water
and not subjected to direct sunlight. The SONARIS should be placed (or mounted) where the
display is easily viewed and within easy reach of the operator.
Regardless of where you place or mount the SONARIS, keep the area around it clear.
Movable objects that might interfere with the sound waves of the sensor should be removed
from a 6-foot (2 meter) radius.
IMPORTANT: The SONARIS cannot be set directly on the floor.
Wall Mounting
The SONARIS may be mounted on a wall using the two holes in the back of the enclosure and
two #10 screws placed 2.00 inches (51 mm) apart in the wall.
1. Choose the location to mount the
SONARIS on the wall. Make certain
the structure and mounting screws are
of sufficient strength to support the
SONARIS.
2. Install two #10 screws placed 2.00
inches (51 mm) apart in the wall.
3. Turn the SONARIS around to locate
the slotted holes in the back of the
enclosure.
4. Place the large end of the slotted
holes on the back of the enclosure
over the screw heads in the wall.
5. Gently pull down to secure the
SONARIS to the wall.
Choosing a Mounting Height
The SONARIS will measure heights of a wide range but there are some limits. The following
factors should be considered:
x Recommended Mounting Height – The recommended mounting height of the SONARIS
should be 88 inches (223 centimeters) from the floor to the bottom of the sensor or 41
inches (104 centimeters) from the floor to the bottom of the SONARIS housing. The unit
can be mounted higher if needed.
x Maximum Height – The SONARIS cannot measure heights that are closer than 7 inches
(17 centimeters) to the sensor. For example, if the height of the sensor were 94 inches
(238 centimeters) from the floor, then the tallest measurement it could make would be
87 inches (221 centimeters). To measure a taller person, the sensor will have to be
mounted higher.
NOTE: When mounting the SONARIS, the height of the sensor cannot exceed 115
inches (292 centimeters) from the floor.
x Minimum Height – The minimum height the SONARIS can measure is 12 inches (30
centimeters).
