Mounting instructions

The enclosure has a transparent rubber seal in the cover (see image 4, shown as white ring). To be sure the enclosure is closed properly please follow these instructions.

1. Make sure the transparent rubber ring is placed around the cover.

2. If it is very difficult to close the lid you can put a bit of Teflon grease on the ring.

3. To have the best protection against water place the enclosure vertically, with the lid pointed downwards. Below some examples in Image 5:

4. The click mount part has to be mounted to something, especially the two holes near the lid should be used for mounting the device. This way the lid will have a strong fit. The other two optional holes can be used for extra strong mounting. See image 6.
   

Optional key tool

There is an optional tool (keytool) available to remove the enclosure from the click mount. See image 7.

Assembled devices (deep sleep):

When you order a fully assembled device, the unit is in deep sleep mode on arrival. To wake up the device you have to use a keytool (optional) with has a magnet inside. If you swipe the keytool a few times at the top side of the enclosure from left to right and back, the device will wake up and will start to make a connection.

All leds start to blink when it is done successful.
