3. The desk occupancy sensor may be mounted on the underside of a desk using the double-sided tape
provided. For best results, mount the sensor horizontally approximately 25 cm from the front edge of the
desk, as shown in Figure 9.
The desk occupancy sensor may take up to 5 minutes to appear on the dashboard when first connected.
Figure 9: Desk Occupancy Sensor
Note: The sensor will send a message when motion is detected. No additional messages will be sent as long
as motion is detected anytime within the next 5 minutes. Only after detecting no motion during a 5 minute
period will it send a message indicating that the desk is unoccupied. Therefore, changes in condition may not
be reflected in the dashboard immediately.
The daily desk occupancy statistics shown on the dashboard are only calculated once a day, at midnight.
4. To detect movement in a room, place the room occupancy sensor on a flat surface, such as a table or
bookshelf. The room occupancy sensor behaves much like the desk occupancy sensor in terms of the 5-
minute behaviour.
As with desk occupancy statistics, room occupancy statistics are only calculated for the preceding 24-hour
period commencing at midnight each day.
The room occupancy sensor may take up to 5 minutes to appear on the dashboard when first connected.
5. To detect the temperature and humidity in the room, place the temperature/humidity sensor anywhere in
the room. To mitigate momentary changes in temperature due to opening a door or window, best practice
is to place this sensor away from doors and windows.
6. The IR blaster can control wall-mounted HVAC systems, heaters, televisions and any other electronic
devices that use an infrared signal with a known Pronto code. A list of codes can be found at either of these
two websites:
