Overview

 

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

Standard ceiling mounting for drywall, concrete, wood surfaces.

Wall Mount

Standard wall mounting for drywall, concrete, wood surfaces. Design with a fixed angle, designed for common traffic use cases

Adjustable 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 Ceiling Mount

  • Assembly

    

  • Use cases

    

    Attach directly to magnetic surfaces (steel, iron, etc) or use zip tie to tight sensor units to tubes, grid ceiling etc.

• Magnetic Wall Mount

  • Assembly

       

  • Use cases

           

    
                 

    Attach directly to magnetic surfaces (steel, iron, etc) or use zip tie to tight sensor units to tubes, racks etc.

• Magnetic Adjustable Mount

  • Assembly

    .

  • Use cases

    

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

Drop Rod Options

• Threaded Rod (compatible with beam clamp and anchor)

  

  • Assembly

    

  • Compatible threaded rod & beam clamp specs:

    3/8"-16

    

    Different lengths available for sourcing

  • Compatible threaded rod anchor specs:

    3/8"-16

    

• Length Adjustable Drop Rod
  • Assembly
  • Length adjustment
    
    Rotate the lower tube anti-clockwise to loose the tube, then grab the lower tube to pull it more inside or out. After getting the desired length, rotate the tube clockwise to fix it.
    
    
  • Use cases
    
                                                                      
    
    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

• Other surfaces (non-magnetic, cannot be drilled):

  1. Find adhesives in the Accessory Box

  2. Choose the correct adhesive for different types of mounts

  3. Stick the adhesive to the back of the mount. Take care to put the adhesive on the correct side of the mount, as shown below.

  4. Wipe the surface with a clean cloth. Ensure that it is clean and free of dust and debris. 

  5. Peel off the protective layer of the tape, then stick mount to the surface, press and hold for 20-30 seconds.

  6. Attach the sensor to the mount.

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.

Presence Sensor Mounting

We recommend to use ceiling mount for presence monitoring. For ceiling over xx ft (3.2m), use the hanging rod to low the sensor from the ceiling. Or use a wall mount installed below xx ft (3.2m) as an alternative.

Smartly use magnetic add-on to install sensors on fixtures, lightings etc.
