SECTION 2
Installing STE-8000 sensors
This section provides important instructions and guidelines for
installing the STE-8000 series sensors. Carefully review this
information before installing the controllers.
Installing the sensors includes the following topics that are covered in this
section.

Planning for
motion sensing
For STE-8201 only—Mount the STE-8201 sensor on a wall that will have an
unobstructed view of the typical traffic in the coverage area. When choosing a
location, do not install the sensor in the following areas.
◆ Behind curtains or other obstructions
◆ In locations that will expose it to sunlight or heat sources
◆ Near a heating/cooling duct.
For details on the coverage pattern, see Specifications on page 4 .
The effective detection range is approximately 10 meters or 33 feet. Factors that
may reduce the range include:
◆ The difference between the surface temperature of the object and the
background temperature of the room is too small.
◆ Object movement in a direct line toward the sensor.
◆ Very slow or very fast object movement.
◆ Obstructions as shown in the illustration Typical motion sensing coverage area
on page 7 .
