Alternatively, the 2 double sided VHB tape can also be used for a less permanent solution. Note this option doesn’t ensure the security of the sensor. Incorrect Installation In order for the MT20 to detect the correct magnetic field, the Main sensor body and the magnet needs to be aligned properly. - Page 8 As noted in the illustration above, all of these orientations are an example of an incorrect installation and can result in inaccurate readings.
- Page 9 WARNING: Magnet polarity can also cause incorrect readings. Do make sure when installing the magnet cover, the arrows on the plastic is facing the sensor body Support and Additional Information If issues are encountered with device installation or additional help is required, contact Meraki Support by logging in to dashboard.meraki.com and opening a case by visiting the Get Help section.
