Mounting Guide

Information on the different mount types available for Butlr Heatic sensors, as well as how to mount on different surfaces for different sensor modes.

Types of Mounts

Overview


Ceiling Mount	Wall Mount	Angle Adjustable Mount	Magnetic Add-On

Threaded Rod

(compatible with beam clamp and anchor)

Length Adjustable Drop Rod

There are 5 types of mounting fixtures:

Ceiling Mount
Wall Mount
Angle Adjustable Mount
Magnetic Add-on
Threaded Rod (compatible with beam clamp and anchor)
Length Adjustable Drop Rod

Magnetic Add-on can not work alone, need to be assembled with other standard mount to attach to magnetic surfaces (steel, iron, etc.)

Ceiling Mount

For small angle adjustment (e.g adjust door line, cover narrow corridor etc.)

Door frame mount (install above or under the door frame when there is obstacle under the sensor)

Magnetic Add-on

Magnetic is compatible with Ceiling Mount, Wall Mount and Adjustable Mount. Base on your need, choose either vertical assembly or horizontal assembly.

Magnetic Ceiling Mount
- Assembly

- Use cases
  
  Attach directly to magnetic surfaces (steel, iron, etc), adjust mounting angle

Drop Rod Options

For ceiling above 10.5 feet (3.2m)

Threaded Rod (compatible with beam clamp and anchor)
- Assembly
- Compatible threaded rod & beam clamp specs:
  
  3/8"-16

  Hanging rod needs to be fixed to ceiling or beams by using wall screws, wire ropes or
  M4 U-Bolt. Please contact Butlr for more information.
- Length range options:
  - 0.5-1m
  - for customization, contact Butlr

Installing Mounts

Overview

Mount on concrete, brick, stone, drywall: Use wall screws (M4) and anchors to secure the mounts into the surface.
Wood: Use the screws (M4) and drill directly into the surface.
Ceiling tile, T-grid ceiling, metal beams or other magnetic surfaces: Attach Magnetic Ceiling/Wall/Adjustable Mount directly to the surfaces.

Traffic Sensor Mounting

Sensor should be installed above the center of your entrance. If the entrance has double doors, place the sensor in the middle of the two doors.

Sensor installation more than 9 feet (2.8 meters) above the ground is no recommended. Refer to table below to determine the height.

Sensor Height (h)	Effective Coverage Width (w)
2.8 m (110.2 in)	2.2 m (86 in)
2.6 m (102.4 in)	2.0 m (78 in)
2.4 m (94.5 in)	1.6 m (63 in)
2.2 m (86.6 in)	1.4 m (56 in)
2.0 m (78.7 in)	1.3 m (52 in)
