Toggle anchor assembly The toggle anchor allows the OA sensor to be mounted to hollow ceiling and suspended by a 1/4in-20 threaded rod. Toggle anchor Designed for hollow ceiling types (drywall, plaster, ceiling tile, wood paneling, etc.), the toggle anchor has spring loaded wings that fold flush, Toggle and then re-open once they have passed Anchor through the ceiling material.
Step 1: Drill hole in ceiling Drill a hole all the way through the hollow ceiling material using the 5/8in drill bit. Step 2: Assemble Screw the nut and washer onto the top end of the threaded rod. Screw the toggle anchor onto the top end of the threaded rod. Make sure that the threaded rod is fully threaded into the toggle anchor.
Step 3: Insert toggle anchor into ceiling Fold the toggle anchor flaps down, then insert the toggle anchor and end of the threaded rod through the drilled hole. Once through the ceiling, the Toggle Anchor flaps will spring open again. To adjust the install height, twist the threaded rod counter clockwise to raise or clockwise to lower. Make sure the threaded rod has enough thread engagement with the toggle anchor.
Step 5: Drill cabling hole Drill a hole using a 5/8in (16mm) drill bit to route cable through. Step 6 (optional): Cable management A 1/2in PVC pipe can be used to run the cable and rod through. Before assembly, cut the PVC pipe to the proper length and drill or cut a notch or hole at the top of the pipe to allow for cable relief. For optimal cable aesthetics, we recommend using a flat white Cat 5e or greater ethernet cable as shown. Make sure to use a pipe size with a minimum inner diameter of 0.62in (1.
Step 7: Attach Open Area sensor Attach the OA sensor to the threaded rod by inserting the threaded rod into the 1/4in-20 threads on the back of the OA sensor and twisting the sensor onto the rod until tight. Screw the unit down all the way until it stops, then back it off to the prescribed location using the ethernet jack as the location guide. 1/4in - 20 Thread Step 8: Plug in cable Plug the ethernet cable into the Open Area sensor.

Threaded rod anchor assembly The Open Area sensor can be suspended from a 1.4in-20 threaded rod and mounted to solid wood, concrete or steel ceiling types using the provided threaded rod anchors. or Concrete Anchor or Steel Anchor Wood Anchor Thread rod anchors Install directly into a mounting surface to suspend a threaded rod. Three different mounting anchors are specifically designed for wood, steel, and concrete surfaces.
Step 1: Install threaded rod anchor Wood and Steel installation: Use a dril and a drive socket (5/8in for wood, 1/2in for steel) to drive the anchor into the ceiling until the bottom side of the anchor head is flush with the ceiling. Concrete installation: Anchors for concrete require a hole dril ed by an ANSI 3/8in masonry dril bit.
Step 2: Attach Open Area sensor Attach the OA sensor to the threaded rod by inserting the threaded rod into the 1/4in-20 threads on the back of the OA sensor and twisting the sensor onto the rod until tight. Screw the unit down all the way until it stops, then back it off to the prescribed location using the ethernet jack as the location guide. 1/4in - 20 Thread Step 3: Plug in cable Plug the ethernet cable into the Open Area sensor.
Step 4 (optional): Cable management A 1/2in PVC pipe can be used to run the cable and rod through. Before assembly, cut the PVC pipe to the proper length and drill or cut a notch or hole at the top of the pipe to allow for cable relief. For optimal cable aesthetics, we recommend using a flat white Cat 5e or greater ethernet cable as shown. Make sure to use a pipe size with a minimum inner diameter of 0.62in (1.6cm).

Step 1: Attach mount plate Attach the mount plate to the junction box using the necessary screws. Density provides 2pcs 8-32 Flat Head Screws that are compatible with some junction boxes. Make sure you have the proper screw for the desired junction box. Step 2: Attach Open Area sensor Attach the OA sensor to the threaded rod by inserting the threaded rod into the 1/4in-20 threads on the back of the OA sensor and twisting the sensor onto the rod until tight.
Step 3: Route cabling The ethernet cable can be routed through the knockout holes in the junction box.
