Installing ThermaNode EZ Cabinet Sensors
General Installation Guidelines
Be consistent.
Match all installations in appearance including node/sensor locations,
centering, wiring, and method for securing extra cable.
Be neat.
•
Ensure cabling is straight and vertical or horizontal as much as possible
•
Install sensors and wiring down the centerline of the doors
•
Dual doors: Place sensors approximately one inch from the center-most edge of the mesh
Secure cables appropriately.
•
Pull slack cable taut
•
Loop and tie extra cable securely at one or more of the sensor locations to prevent dangling.
•
For door loops:
•
Properly size loops to prevent cable binding and pulling
•
Ensure front and rear doors open fully at the same time without cable binding
•
Secure loops near door hinge to allow proper door movement and cable clearance
•
Secure door side loops with cable ties or cable clips one inch from disconnects
Install clips properly.
•
Clean surfaces thoroughly with alcohol wipes and allow cleaned surfaces to dry
•
Align clips neatly in the same direction as the wiring
•
Hold clip in place for 30 seconds to ensure adhesive bonding
Use cable ties where needed.
•
Attach cable ties to the inside of door such that the locking mechanism is always on the inside
•
Use cable ties in adjacent holes of mesh door to keep the loop appearing on the outside as small as
possible
•
Use diagonal cutters to clip cable tie ends close to its locking mechanism
