MOUNTING
The power failure sensor can be mounted directly on a flat surface
or attached to a plastic single-gang electrical outlet box. Make
sure there is an electrical outlet nearby. Mount the sensor as high
as possible to provide for optimal wireless transmission. When
installed within a building where the wireless signal must travel
through several obstructions, the sensor should be located within
100’ of the Sensaphone 2800 or within 100’ of a repeater. If the
sensor has line-of-sight with the Sensaphone 2800 (or a repeater),
then it may be located up to 300’ away.
Electrical box installation
Using the hex key remove the sensor cover by turning the two hex
screws located on the bottom of the sensor housing clockwise.
Carefully lift off the cover. Attach the sensor housing to the
electrical box using the appropriate screws.
Surface installation
Remove the sensor cover by turning the two hex screws on the
bottom of the sensor housing clockwise. Use a pencil to mark the
hole locations at the top and bottom of the housing. Remove the
sensor from the wall. Install the drywall anchors (if necessary) to
the wall. Attach the sensor housing to the wall using #6 tapping
screws.
