two electrical wires (exposed metal). These wires ar e

used to instal l and fix the location of the sensor, and also

turn on the sensor at the sam e tim e.

 A comm on inst all at ion practice is schematically shown in

the figure below. Twist the exposed wires around the

reinforcing bar (this will also tur n on the sensor ) and

ensure that the wires are not loose.

Tip 1: Co n n e c t i o n w i r e s a r e d e l i c a t e . Pl e a s e h a n d l e w i t h c a r e

when connecting/disconnecting these wires.

Tip 2: In or der t o m axim ize t he w ir el ess ant enna r ange, do

concrete surface. This will incr ease t he range of sensor
visibility (especially in the early age).

Not e: If st eel w ir es ar e disconnect ed f r om each ot her , t he
