Resetting the sensor To power reset the sensor to default factory settings, press and hold the reset button until the 10 LED stops blinking (approx 10 seconds). The sec sensor must be plugged in and connected to power in order to reset. Reset Button Sensor LED Status Indicator The sensor has an indicator LED located on the Color Pattern None No Light front of the sensor.
Power 03 Power requirements The OA Sensor can be powered by either a 802.3af PoE switch or a PoE Injector Wall Plug. Cable requirements The sensor requires a Cat 5e or later ethernet cable (not included). Flat white cable recommended for optimal aesthetics. Cat 5e or later Option 1 – PoE+ Switch Connect one end of a Cat 5e or later ethernet cable to a 802.3af compliant network switch capable of providing 16W per port. Plug the other 15W end of the ethernet cable into the OA Sensor.
Option 2 – PoE+ Injector Using WiFi Plug the PoE Injector into any standard 120v wall outlet. Plug one end of a Cat 5e or later ethernet cable into the Data & Power Out port located on the bottom of the injector. Plug the other end of the ethernet cable into the sensor. Use the Unit Setup App to connect the sensor to a WiFi network.
04 Networking Networking basics Density devices require internet connectivity to pass data to the web application. Options to connect your Density devices to the internet: Network configuration options oth DHCP and Static IP configurations are supported (Static IP configurations require the Density Unit Setup App to locally set up the device) B . .

Ceiling mount plate assembly The ceiling mount plate can be mounted to solid and hollow ceiling surfaces using the provided screws and anchors. Remove bag from lower insert in the box that contains mount bracket and screws. Remove items from the bag including mount plate and screws and anchors. Position mount bracket on the ceiling in the prescribed location, with one of the square slots pointing in the direction the ethernet jack needs to point.
Step 1: Mark placement Using a pencil or pen mark location on ceiling for anchor screws using two screws at a minimum. If using the opening as a cable pass through to the ceiling, outline the opening location on the ceiling Cable Pass Through Option Step 2: Drill holes Drill a hole through each pencil mark using a 3/16in drill bit. For hollow substrates, drill completely through. For solid wall materials, drill holes with a depth of at least 1 1/4in (3.2cm).
Step 3: Insert anchors Use a mallet or hammer to tap the anchors into each hole. Anchors should be flush with the wall. Step 4: Install mount plate Align the holes in the mount plate with the installed anchors. Use a drill with #2 Phillips Screwdriver bit to drive each screw into the drywall anchors. Screws can also be driven in manually with a standard Phillips head screwdriver.
Step 5: Drill cabling hole Drill a hole using a 3/4in (16mm) drill bit to route cable through. Optional for Cable Pass Through Step 6: Route cable Route the ethernet cable through the drilled hole. Make sure the cable passes through opening in mount plate if you’re using the Cable Pass Through.
Step 7: Attach Open Area sensor Attach the Open Area unit by threading onto the bracket. Pull the ethernet cable through approximately 6 inches out from the opening in the ceiling. 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 9: Plug in cable Plug the ethernet cable into the Open Area sensor.
