Determine installation location
The Talia sensor is designed for single-wide doors in commercial offices and other public spaces. Depending on the door configuration, there are two categories of mounting position.
Case 1 (center)
Use center placement if there is no door mounted in the doorway, the door
opens outwards (outside of the room where the device is mounted) or in the
presence of a sliding door. 
Case 2 (side)
In the case where a door swings into the primary space (inward opening door),
Talia must be mounted on the side opposite the door’s hinges, to minimize
interference in sensing by the door. Side placement can also be used for
doorways which reach the ceiling or any other situation making center
placement not possible.
Optimal and allowed mounting position of the Talia device above the door. Lens
should always point towards the doorway center point
Note that correct Talia placement ensures good performance in the case where
people enter through the door and then taking a hard left or right turn (so
their path ends up parallel to the one of the walls adjacent to the doorway).
This is a realistic scenario for conference rooms where a conference room
table and chairs may immediately block progress after a person enters the
room.
For optimal performance Talia should be mounted in one of the optimal locations as indicated by shaded and white circles in figure 5. However, if optimal placement is not possible (e.g., due physical obstacles or low ceiling) Talia can be mounted within the allowed position zones. If using the allowed position zones, for best performance Talia should be mounted as close and possible to the optimal position.

Rotation
Talia must be mounted with its primary sensing elements pointing towards the
center of the threshold of the monitored doorway. Talia provides two methods
to achieve this:
For optimal locations – predefined angle
Talia provides a simple method for mounting with the correct (0 or 15 degree)
rotation at the shaded locations in figure 5. The simple method doesn’t
require any measurements or calculations other than those needed to locate the
shaded optimal location on the wall.
For other locations – variable angles
Talia also provides a more flexible method for mounting with the correct
rotation at any location within the allowed position zone
(hatched) in figure 5. This method requires additional distance measurements
and multiple steps to calculate and install at the correct rotation angle.
Tilt
For the sensing geometry shown above, the Talia must be tilted (with the top
tilted away from the plane of the vertical wall) to ensure that Talia’s field
of view includes the door threshold (the line of the doorway at floor level).
The Talia (with its mounting base) provides a built-in fixed tilt, such that
when mounted flush onto a vertical wall, the correct field of view is
achieved.
Illumination
To achieve low power consumption and long battery life, the sensors will rely
on externally sourced illumination.
Commissioning and calibration
Talia is delivered in ship mode, with all circuitries powered down. Typically,
Talia will be provisioned in provision mode, and then put into operation (run
mode).
Once provisioned, Talia stays in run mode until a button press changes its state.
Talia modes are changed by pressing Talia’s hidden button. Two distinct
button-press lengths are supported – a long press, of at least seven seconds,
and a short press of less than 3 seconds. The power button is located in the
hole between the green and amber LEDs on the front of Talia and can be
accessed using a suitable tool.
The green LED is on steady for ten seconds when Talia exits power down mode or
ship mode. This indicates that Talia has been turned on. The green led is
pulsed at 1hz ten times when provision mode is entered.
- Mounting and installation
Using a level, draw a straight horizontal line at the height and location determined in section IV.
**Verify the base location and angle making sure Talia will point towards the bottom center of the door.
Remove the tape peel from the wall mount and
line it up with the chosen angle on the wall. Press and hold the wall mount
firmly against the wall for 15 seconds. *Optional wall anchors and screws
should be placed 2.5 inches apart.
To attach Talia to the wall base plate: line up the four tabs on the bottom of
the device with the matching openings on the base plate. Rotate the device
clockwise until Talia “clicks” into place. 
- Dismounting
Dismount the Talia from its base by using a flat thin object, such as a flat head screwdriver, to push down on the snap accessed by the space in the base. The side that is snapped will be the same side the Talia is rotated towards.

Caution: the user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference, and
- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: this equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a class b digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/tv technician for help.
FCC & IC radiation exposure statement:
This equipment complies with FCC and Canada radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and
operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
