Selecting a location for installation

Placement Guidelines

You can mount the O3 Edge to a ceiling tile, finished ceiling, or junction box.

• The device should be mounted 2.4 to 4.6 m (8 to 15 ft) off the floor.
• For best performance, place the device in center of the room. Try to keep it at least 2.1 m (7 ft) away from windows or exterior walls.
• Choose a location where the motion sensor view is not obstructed by light fixtures, shelves, etc.
• Do not mount the device next to hot or cold sources.
• Keep the device at least 1.3 m (4 ft) away from ceiling diffusers and other sources of airflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install the O3 outdoors?

The O3 is not rated for outdoor operation. The enclosure is intended for indoor use and its operational temperature range is 0°C to 45°C. The humidity range is 10% to 95% non-condensing.

What if I have a very high ceiling in my building? Can I mount the O3 higher than the recommended height?

The O3 has been tested and verified at heights between 2.4m and 4.5m (8ft to 15 ft). While being slightly higher should not be a problem, there is a practical limit. The higher the unit is mounted, the less responsive the IR temperature sensor becomes.

Can the O3 be mounted vertically, such as on a wall?

The O3 is designed for mounting on the ceiling, and is most effective mounted in a horizontal orientation, with a birds eye view of the space.
