Installing Your Appliance
1. Measure the distance between the WallBotz 500 base
station and the location at which you will install the pod. You
will need to connect the pod to the base station using a USB
cable, and depending on the distance between the pod and
the base station you might require USB extender cables or a
powered or unpowered (because Sensor Pod 120s are low-
power USB devices) USB hub.
2. Place the Sensor Pod 120 at the installation location. The
pod can be mounted to a wall using the included Sensor Pod
120 wall mounting bracket, if desired. Simply use the
included screw to secure the wall mounting bracket to the
back of the Sensor Pod 120 and then hang the Sensor Pod
120 on the wall.
Note: If you are mounting multiple Sensor Pod 120s in multiple racks,
cabinets, or other similar enclosed spaces, be sure to position the
Sensor Pod 120 in the same location and orientation within each
rack or cabinet. Air flow readings can be affected greatly by the
position and orientation of the Sensor Pod 120, especially within
an enclosed space. To ensure consistent air flow readings
between multiple racks and cabinets, install the Sensor Pod 120s
in identical locations in each rack or cabinet.
3. Connect the Sensor Pod 120 to a USB Port on your
WallBotz 500 appliance. Up to 17 Sensor Pod 120s can be
connected to a single WallBotz 500 base station, so if you are
installing multiple Sensor Pod 120s you will probably need to
connect a powered or unpowered hub to the base station and
then connect the Sensor Pod 120 to the hub.
Shortly after the Sensor Pod 120 is connected to a USB Port on
the base station the LEDs on the Sensor Pod 120 will illuminate
briefly, and it will emit a series of beeps to indicate that it has
been recognized by the base station and is now functional.
