Duct Sensor Installation
This part of the install typically requires a tall ladder or a manual/powered man lift
The supplies should have been ID’d to which RTU they are when testing was done.
Need to start at the furthest supply duct.
If there are hard ceilings - go to alternate solutions, below.
Install sensors in the duct work making sure the metal tip does not touch metal duct.
If you exceed 200' or 10 sensors per run - Will need to connect any cables above that to D2 or D1.
Connect sensor lead to CAT5E/6 cable making sure all sensors are using same color wire in the Cat5 cable.
Never lengthen the lead on a sensor!
Strip end of CAT 5 and connect lead wires to wires in CAT 5 using “Dolphines”.
Take pictures of each location showing sensor sticker (close up) and location of sensor wide angle.
Close up photo should capture the label and wide angle should capture the location. See examples
Run cat 5 to Next closets supply duct and repeat till done.
Connect the CAT 5 cable pairs used to the gateway using D3 Port then D2 and if needed D1.
Once sensors are connected to gateway you should be able to see them in the app and edit names to Assign to RTU-# <area>.
