HALO-2C Installation
BEFORE YOU START
Tools required include: #2 Phillips screwdriver, T10 Torx wrench (included),
and means to make the mounting hole (120 mm hole saw, 5” hole saw, or hand saw
for sheetrock). The HALO unit requires a wired network connection (Ethernet)
which includes standard 802.3af PoE power. This connection should not be
longer than 300 ft (100M).
LOCATION
HALO should be located on a ceiling at a recommended height of 8ft. For Vape
Detection HALO should be in an area relatively free of air currents. Avoid
HVAC exhaust or return ducts, fans, and areas near the door between two rooms.
HALO mounting should avoid areas with significant background noise or
vibration. When using HALO for Air Quality and Environmental Monitoring
consult with your Authorized IPVideo Dealer for placement guidance.
INSTALLATION
- Ascertain that the ceiling material is between 0.06” (3 mm) and 0.75” (19 mm) in thickness.
- Make the required 120 mm or 5.0” hole in the ceiling. Clean up and make certain that dust or material from this operation does not come into proximity of the HALO unit. Use the included full-scale template to check your dimensions before cutting.
- Bring the connectorized network connection through the hole and allow it to dangle. Use the Torx wrench to remove the 3 screws holding the HALO outer cover.
- Plug the network cable into the RJ-45 jack on the side of the HALO unit.
- After 10-15 seconds the green LED in the lower left corner should commence blinking indicating a good network connection and power availability.
- Carefully insert the HALO unit into the hole, taking care not to damage the network cable.
- Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the two screws in the flange. This action first rotates the locking wings to an extended position and then pulls them down to secure the unit. DO NOT OVER
- TIGHTEN these screws.
- Replace the HALO outer cover and use the Torx wrench to tighten the (3) securing screws.
WRAPPING UP
The final steps are to use the HALO DEVICE MANAGER (HDM) software (on a

LOCATION: CEILING
For Vape Detection HALO has a recommended height of 8 feet and should be in an
area relatively free of air currents. Avoid HVAC exhaust or return ducts,
fans, and areas near the door between two rooms. HALO mounting should avoid
areas with significant background noise or vibration. When using HALO for Air
Quality and Environmental Monitoring consult with your Authorized IPVideo
Dealer for placement guidance.
LOCATION: WALL
HALO should be in an area relatively free of air currents and 8-to-9-foot
height from floor. Avoid HVAC exhaust or return ducts, fans, and areas near
the door between two rooms. HALO mounting should avoid areas with significant
background noise or vibration. When using HALO for Air Quality and
Environmental Monitoring consult with your Authorized IPVideo Dealer for

in thickness. Make the required 19 mm or ¾” hole in the ceiling. Clean up and
make certain that dust or material from this
operation does not come into proximity of the HALO unit.
Place the mounting plate in the desired location so that the previously
drilled hole lines up with the center hole in the mounting plate. Mark 4 holes
in either the A or B pattern as shown in fig. 1.
Install sheetrock anchors into the previously marked holes. Place the mounting
plate back to the desired location and tighten the screws into the anchors.
Bring the connectorized network connection through the hole and allow it to
dangle. Plug the network
cable into the RJ-45 jack on the back of the HALO unit in the port labeled

HALO-3C INSTALLATION
HALO Ceiling Placement
HALO can typically cover 144 square feet (13.4 square meters) with normal
ceiling heights (8ft/2.4m) for vape sensors however other sensors work
effectively up to 1963 square feet (182.4 square meters). Its coverage area
will also vary by the ventilation in the room, the ceiling height will also be
a contributing factor. A pendant mount option is available to keep HALO at its
recommended height of 8 feet (2.4 meters).
HALO should be installed at least one 2’x2’ ceiling tile away from any air
vent or HVAC unit.
Do not install HALO next to any air vent/HVAC unit.
