Programming the Sensor into your SimplyHome System
Once the sensor is powered on it will start communicating with the other sensors and the base system for your
SimplyHome System. Refer to the SimplyHome Base Unit user guide for more information on sensor programming.
Mounting the Sensor
To begin the sensor installation, start by locating where the sensor should be mounted. Keep in mind the following tips
when choosing a location:
•
Position the sensor in an area where the user would be most likely to walk across the detection pattern. Be sure
to mount the sensor in a direction that you do not get unintended activations by the user in other areas (such as
mounting the sensor facing into a hallway that could pickup users outside of the room).
•
Position the sensor so it faces a solid reference point, such as a wall.
•
Do not position the sensor facing windows, fireplaces, air conditioners, area heaters, heating vents, or in direct
sunlight.
•
Position sensor on a rigid surface, free from vibrations.
•
Mount the sensor at a height of approximately 6-7 feet depending on the height of the user. Keep in mind that
the sensor is aimed on a downward angle.
•
Avoid mounting sensors outdoors or in an area where they will be exposed to moisture or where the
temperature is outside of the normal operating range.
•
If the user has pets, try to mount the sensor in an area where the pet will not activate the sensor.
•
Where possible, mount sensors directly into a stud, and if a stud is not available use the enclosed drywall
anchors. We do not recommend the use of double-sided tape to mount sensors unless they are being mounted
on a sensitive surface where the use of screws is not permitted.
•
Walk test the area prior to mounting to ensure that the sensor covers the area appropriately.
After locating the position of the sensor using the guidelines above, take the following steps to complete successful
installation of the SimplyHome Motion Sensor (SH003B):
•
Remove the cover on the main unit. To do so, gently pry the top and bottom housing apart at the line around
the unit.
•
Locate the two pre-drilled screw locations on the base plastic unit behind the sensor battery.
•
Mark the location of the holes where they are to be mounted and pre-drill holes in the surface using an
appropriately sized drill bit.
•
Insert the enclosed drywall anchors, when appropriate.
•
Mount the sensor base using the enclosed screws.
•
Replace the sensor battery.
•
Replace the sensor top.
