Fig. 1:
Mounting
JUNCTION BOX
1. Pull the wire through the wall and out of the junction box, leaving
about 6 inches free. Pull the wire through the hole in the base
plate.
2. Secure the base to the box using the #6-32 x 1/2 inch mounting
screws provided.
3. Terminate the unit according to the guidelines in the Termination
section.
4. Attach Cover by latching it to the top of the base, rotating the
cover down and snapping it into place.
5. Secure the cover by backing out the lock-down screws using a
1/16” Allen wrench until they are ush with the bottom of the cover.
DRYWALL MOUNTING
1. Place the base plate against the wall where you want to mount the
sensor. Mark the two mounting holes and the area where the wires
will come through the wall.
2. Drill two 3/16” holes in the center of each marked mounting hole.
Insert a drywall anchor into each hole.
3. Drill one 1/2” hole in the middle of the marked wiring area.
4. Pull the wire through the wall and out the 1/2” hole, leaving about

both junction box and drywall installation
(junction box installation shown).
6 inches free. Pull the wire through the hole in the base plate.
5. Secure the base to the drywall anchors using the #6 x 1 inch mounting screws provided.
6. Terminate the unit according to the guidelines in the Termination section.
7. Attach Cover by latching it to the top of the base, rotating the cover down and snapping it into place.
8. Secure the cover by backing out the lock-down screws using a 1/16” Allen wrench until they are ush with the
bottom of the cover.
NOTE: In a wall-mount application, the mixing of room air and air from within the wall cavity can lead to erroneous
readings, condensation, and premature failure of the sensor. To prevent this condition, plug the conduit hole with
insulation in the junction box.

Termination
BAPI recommends using twisted pair of at least 22AWG and sealant lled connectors for all wire connections. Larger
gauge wire may be required for long runs. All wiring must comply with the National Electric Code (NEC) and local
codes. Do NOT run this device’s wiring in the same conduit as AC power wiring. BAPI’s tests show that uctuating and
inaccurate signal levels are possible when AC power wiring is present in the same conduit as the signal lines. If you are
experiencing any of these difculties, please contact your BAPI representative.
BAPI recommends wiring the product with power disconnected. Proper supply voltage, polarity and wiring
connections are important to a successful installation. Not observing these recommendations may damage the
product and void the warranty.
Status LED
Green - Indicates that the unit is operating propertly.
Red - Indicates that there is a problem with the unit.
