The dimensions of the sensor mounting plate are shown below.

When the sensor is attached:

Size: 103mm (L) x 103 mm (W) x 25 mm (H)

Weight: 275 G

There are a variety of solutions that can be used to properly fix this mounting plate to a surface for a successful installation.

Open Ceiling

Rods are secured to the ceiling using rod hangers. This example shows a customized conduit and pipe hanger that has been used to mount the plate.

Beam clamps can also be used to attach a rod drop or the sensor itself when the ceiling is 12' (3.6m) or lower.

Wood Ceiling

This decorative ceiling has just enough space between the wood beams to fit a wireless sensor. The device is secured using three L-brackets that have been attached to form a clamp.

Zip-Ties and Toggle Bolts

These hardware options are versatile solutions for many ceiling types. These examples show decorative wood paneling, steel mesh, and phone booth installations.
