Selecting the Light Range on the TAP sensor
1. Using a fingernail or small flat head screwdriver, pop the
rear mounting plate off the sensor to reveal the range slide
switch.
2. Slide the switch to the range setting required.
3. Press the rear mounting plate back into position.
Daylight Harvesting
The TAP sensor will repeatedly broadcast a telegram on a timer
(heart beat timer). The time period adjusts automatically to
the ambient light levels and energy charge stored on the
radio.

Installing Wireless Devices
Careful planning is needed when locating the controllers and
switches based on the construction materials in the space
and
possibility
of
tenant's
transmissions.
The sensor should be installed in the space where the
receiving device is controlling the light fixtures or circuits
however the signal will travel through material barriers.
Refer to the table below

Avoid transmissions that must penetrate walls at acute
ð
angles. This increases the wall material the telegram must
pass through, greatly reducing the signal power.
ü
Avoid large obstructions. Place receivers in alternate
locations to avoid the radio shadow or use repeaters to go
around the obstacle.
Do not locate receivers close to other high frequency
ð
transmitters. Leave at least 2' between the receiver and any
other source of interference including, computers, video
equipment, Wi-Fi/LAN routers, GSM modems and monitors.
