Sense Nano EA: Installation
Wire-free installation
A Sense Nano™ sensor can be installed wirelessly on an interior wall with a permanent adhesive, provided.
Gather the following Early Access components and tools for this installation:
- 1 Sense Nano sensor
- 1 wall mounting bracket with adhesive
- 1 iOS device with Lens™ installed (see “Recommended devices for compatibility” in Sense Nano: Product Introduction
- Other tools: Bubble level, pencil, measuring tape
To install a wire-free Sense Nano sensor on the wall:
-
Mark the location: Identify and mark the best interior location for the sensor using the following guidelines.
Note: Typically sensor placement is included in project requirements. The following table includes sensor installation guidelines and additional details.Guideline Details 48 in (1.22 meters) from floor This is the typical recommended height for sensor devices. Clean and dry Be sure the location for the sensor bracket is clean and dry. - In a well-lit area
-
Not in direct sunlight
(year round)
- For wireless Nano installations that require light to keep the battery charged.
- Direct sunlight can cause the Nano to overheat.
In conditioned, indoor areas
(heated, cooled)Interior spaces that maintain the supported environmental conditions of 32 to 113°F (0 to 45°C). Away from heat sources and the direct path of ventilation Being too close to coffee pots, heating elements, other heat sources, or in the direct path of heating or cooling sources can cause false temperature readings. Away from exterior windows, walls, and doors Being too close to exterior windows, walls, and doors (outside air openings) can cause false zone temperature and humidity readings. Not behind doors, curtains, or dividers These locations can prevent or delay the sensor from sensing zone environmental data and can reduce the accuracy of average readings.
-
Draw a level line: Use a bubble level and measuring tape to draw a horizontal line the width of the mounting bracket (1.67 in / 4.24 cm).
- Retrieve a Sense Nano device and the wall mounting bracket from the box.
-
Peel, stick, & press: Remove the adhesive liners from the strips on the back of the mounting bracket. Carefully align the mounting bracket notches to the level line, then press the bracket firmly to attach it to the wall.
Note: Move the adhesive strips out of the way as needed. Do not cut or tear the strips as they are required for future bracket removal. - Push, twist, & click: Align the logo at roughly 11 o’clock, place the slots in the Nano on the mounting bracket tabs, then twist it clockwise until it locks with a click.
Next, power up and commission the Nano with Lens. For instructions, see “Provisioning Sense Nano sensors.”
