Getting Started
7
Once the sensors have been discovered, turn off the Sensor Discovery option in the
Configuration>FDS-Wi page of the Wireless Gateway’s user interface. If you do not turn
off the sensor discovery feature, the Wireless Gateway will continue to attempt to find new
sensors. This could cause a device malfunction, or contaminate your list of active sensors
with additional sensors that do not actually exist.
8
Note each sensor’s index number and location. Reference Chapter 3, “Web Interface –
Standard Version” on page 23 to learn how to enter the location and any other necessary
identifying information in each sensor’s configuration information.

Once you have configured the Wireless Gateway, save a copy of the system configuration.
2.6. Sensor Mounting Tips
The electronics in a wireless sensor are water-resistant, but not waterproof. Wireless sensors
need to be mounted in a safe location, where the chance of them becoming submerged in a
liquid are minimal. Sensors can be mounted with double-faced tape or adhesive velcro. To
mount a sensor on a metallic surface, purchase adhesive-backed magnetic tape and adhere it to
the back of the sensor. Use magnetic tape that is 0.5 inch (1.27cm) wide. The magnetic tape
will not disturb the electronics, and when placed correctly, the tape allows the sensor’s label to
remain visible. The serial number on this label is unique to each sensor, and you will need to
refer to this number throughout the life span of the sensor.

For each sensor, cut two 1.5-inch (3.81cm) strips of tape.
