Location considerations
Height requirements
Mounting surfaces
Areas of direct sunlight
Areas in the direct airstream of air diffusers
Exterior walls and other walls that have a temperature differential between the two sides
Areas that are close to heat sources such as sunlight, appliances, concealed pipes, chimneys,
or other heat-generating equipment
Drafty areas
Dead spots behind doors, projection screens, or corners
Walls that are subject to high vibration
Areas with high humidity
High traffic areas (to reduce accidental damage or tampering)

If mounting onto sheetrock or plaster, use the plastic threaded anchors (pre-drilling holes is not
usually necessary) and the two M3.5 x 20 mm mounting screws.
For mounting onto an electrical junction box, use the two 6-32 x 3/4 in. screws.
