Mounting Your Sensor

Reference this article for more details. 
1. Gather Materials: Use the provided 2 zip ties and 2 3M adhesive tags. Attach the sensor antenna to your new sensor.
2. Choose the Mounting Location: Select a spot inside the fridge where the sensor can be mounted without obstructing any shelves or drawers. Ideally, choose a location that is central to get an accurate temperature reading of the entire fridge. Avoid placing the sensor too close to the cooling element, as this might give inaccurate temperature readings.
3. Prepare the Surface: Clean the chosen spot inside the fridge. The surface should be dry and free of grease or dirt to ensure the tape adheres properly.
4. Preparing the Sensor: Put one zip tie through each mounting hole in the sensor and through given 3M tags, then tighten the zip tie.
5. Mount the Sensor: Peel off the protective layer of the 3M tag. Carefully place the sensor onto the chosen spot in the fridge, pressing firmly for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond. Cut any additional zip tie slag if needed.

Setting Up Your Sensor

  1. Clean the surface you prepare to tape the sensor on and let it dry

  2. Peel attached 3M double-sided mounting tape 

  3. Secure the sensor in place on the wall

Note: The sensor is shipped with “on” position by default. If you need to reboot the device, you would need to open the sensor and put the jumper to power on device as in the picture below:
