Preparation
The SmartClick Switch Station can be mounted in a standard electrical switch-
box or on any surface such as a wall, cubicle, or desk using the optional wall
mount plate. The station should be installed in the room where the Aero
controllers are controlling the light fixtures or circuits. Consideration should be
made for locating the controllers, switches, and sensors based on the
construction materials in the space and furniture that may disrupt the
transmissions. Installation should follow local codes and standard practices.
It is recommended that stations and sensors be placed with in 50 feet (15m) of
the controller for optimal performance.
Installing the Station
The SmartClick Switch Station can be surface mounted using screws,
double-sided tape, or Velcro
®
, or it can be flush mounted in a standard back
box. Mounting hardware or tape is not supplied. The ON side of the station
should be mounted at the top. The arrow on the station must be installed
directed up.
