Installing your SENse Tile

Installing a SENse Tile into an existing ceiling involves several steps to ensure a safe and proper installation. Keep in mind that specific instructions might vary based on the ceiling design.

Here’s a general step-by-step guide:

Whats in the box

  • SENse Tile
  • 2x SENse Tile securing cables
  • SENse Tile remote control
  • BenQ remote control
  • 5 meter Power cable
  • 2x mini WIFI antennas
  • Information sheet
  • Accessory pack

 

Remove the Ceiling tile

  • Locate the most appropriately located ceiling tile, this should be located centrally over the projected area
  • Carefully remove the existing ceiling tile. You might need to slide it out of the grid or gently pry it out, depending on the ceiling type

Install The SENse Tile

  • Place the SENse Tile in the opening you’ve created, ensuring it’s properly aligned with the surrounding tiles.
  • Check the circular ventilation vent at the back of the tile. Ensure that it is not obstructed.
  • Attach Securing Cables if required
    • Attach the securing cables to the SENse tile’s attachment points and the structural. Make sure the cables are taut but not overly tight.

 

Install the power cable

  • Position yourself on the ladder or scaffolding to reach the adjacent tile next to the SENse Tile and remove this tile
  • Carefully run the cable, keeping it away from potential hazards like sharp edges or sources of heat.
  • If the power outlet isn’t close enough to the SENse Tile location, an extension cord might be needed. Make sure to use a cord that’s rated for the necessary load.
  • Align the plug with the power input on the SENse Tile and insert it until it’s fully connected.

Install the antennas

  • Locate the antenna ports on the device. Begin to screw the antenna onto the antenna port in a clockwise direction, until it is firmly in place and doesn’t easily rotate.

Turning on the SENse Tile

  • Gently remove the white safety cover from the bottom of the SENse Tile
  • Identify the power switch on the SENse Tile and using your hand, gently toggle the switch into the “I” position.”
  • Hold the SENse Tile remote control comfortably in your hand, ensuring you have a clear view of the SENse Tile. Point the remote control directly at the SENse Tile and gently press down on the red button
