Installation
The location and position of the sensor directly affects the quality of
messages received by the linked controller. The sensor can be attached to
a standard indoor electrical box, preferably non-metallic.
1. Locate the circuit breaker panel and turn off the power to the circuit.
2. Make sure the antenna wire is seated in the antenna channel as
shipped. Do not cut or cap the antenna wire.
3. Remove the faceplate from the junction box.
4. Do one of the following according to the model:
