STEP FOUR
PREPARING THE WALL
Once the drywall has been installed, locate the sensor wire behind the drywall using your notes from step three.
Near Flush Mount
••
Using a hole-saw, drill a 1” (25.5 mm) hole at the
location of the sensor wire.
••
Pull the excess wire through the hole and now you
are ready to wire your sensor.
••
Do not drill hole directly over stud.
True Flush Mount
••
Using a 1-1/2” (38.0 mm) spade bit, drill a recess
hole lightly into the drywall to a depth no more than
1/8” (3.0 mm).
••
Turn the 084 Indoor Sensor around so that the front
disk is facing the wall and test to see if this recess
hole is deep enough to mount the sensor flush.
••
Once the recess hole is at the desired depth, use a
1” (25.5 mm) hole-saw and place the guide bit into
the center hole created by the spade bit and drill
through the drywall.
••
Pull the excess wire through the hole and now you
are ready to wire your sensor.
STEP FIVE
WIRE & MOUNT THE INDOOR SENSOR
••
Connect the two wires to the terminals in the back of the 084 sensor.
••
Once wired, feed the excess wire back into the hole and hand press the 084 until the back of the disk touches the wall. The sensor
is held in place by the taper of the enclosure (no fasteners required).
••
Be careful not to press the sensor through the drywall.
STEP SIX
FINISH THE INDOOR SENSOR
•• The sensor can now be painted to match the wall color or wallpapered over.
•• The sensor can also be mudded over and sanded during the drywall process, and then the wall can be painted or wallpapered
as normal. Be careful not to sand the sensor plate.
•• Keep a record of where the 084 is installed in case of failure the sensor can be found.
Note: The mud area of a near flush mount will be much greater than the mud area of a true flush mount.
