InsertCR2032 battery in holder ensuring to observepolarity indicator on battery and battery holder.WARNING – Incorrect installation willdamage sensor and void warranty.1.3 Sensor InstallationConfigure sensor using gateway CONFIGURE page. See gateway sensor configuring section fordetails.Test sensor signal strength at the location the sensor is intended to be use by pressing the testbutton on the sensor and viewing the sensor message signal strength (RSSI) on the gatewaySTATUS page. If signal strength is too low or the gateway is unable to receive the sensor testmessage, try adjusting the sensor and gateway orientation, and location.For temperature and motion sensing, the sensor only needs to be placed in a suitable location.If the sensor is being use to sense the presence of a liquid or contactclosure, attach the supplied sensing wire to the sensor moisture/contactterminal block. Each of the two wires of one end is inserted into thetwo larger terminal block holes. You may use your own supplied 18-24 AWG wire if the supplied wire is not suitable for your application.To release the wire from the terminal block, insert a pin into the twosmaller slots of the terminal block.For moisture sensing, the other ends of the wire should be spaced about 3mm (1/8 inch) apartand placed in a location they can come in contact with the liquid.For contact sensing, the other ends of the wire should be attached to a dry contact closureelement such as a door open/close contact containing a reed switch.Attach double sided tape to sensor and attach sensor in final sensinglocation.
