Installation process
1. Choosing a suitable installation spot
Choose an installation spot approximately 2-3 meters above the floor. Ensure the device(s) face into the room without any obstacles in the way.
Img 1 - Position of the Sensor
If possible, avoid placing the sensor facing glass walls to prevent false positives caused by motion behind the glass.
The sensor should always be placed facing the area of the room that is intended to be monitored for occupancy.
Install one or two sensors and test their functionality. Ensure you minimize both false positives and false negatives. If the sensors are functioning correctly, proceed to the next steps of the installation.
Warning: Placing the device too low (below 2 meters) or too high (above 3 meters) will reduce the effectiveness of the detection pattern.
Note: One sensor can cover an area of approximately 10x10 meters. For larger rooms, additional sensors are required.
2. Cleaning the surface
Plastic, glass, metal, or wood surfaces must be cleaned with alcohol cleaner MEC3. Clean approximately an area of 10x10 cm around the deployment spot.
Concrete or painted surfaces should be cleaned with a dry tissue or cloth.
Allow the surface to dry completely.
3. Placing devices in their respective rooms
Simply place the MEC1 device in the room where it will be installed. Position the device upside down to prepare for scanning the QR code into the system.
4. Adding devices into the system
Use the Spaceti Map Editor (SW1) to deploy the device into the system.
Note: For a detailed process on how to use the Map Editor, please refer to the manual Map Editor user guide.
5. Turning on the Device
EU Devices (SRP0L2PXXX)
Turn the sensor on by removing the battery contact blocking foil.
Ensure the foil does not get stuck at the edge of the hole, as this may cause it to tear.
If the foil does not release properly, replace the device with another one.
US Devices (SRP0L1PXXX)
Use the SIM tool (TL2) to press the ON button on the device.
The ON button is located at the back of the sensor, in the hole closer to the label (see Img 2).
To confirm the device is turned on, check for a green LED blinking from the spot marked on Img 2.
Warning: Do not press the second button, as it is used to turn the device off.

6. Installation
Plug the platform MEC2 into the device MEC1 as shown in Images 3 and 4.
Position the platform so that the tab on the MEC1 component snaps into the recess of the MEC2 component.
On both the MEC2 platform and the bottom of the MEC1 device, you'll find the word "TOP" and an arrow. Ensure that the two arrows face each other; when they align, you will hear a click. Refer to the images bellow for guidance.

The PIR lens of the MEC1 device must be oriented downward.

Stickers
Use the specific version of the platform MEC2: "P" for plastic surfaces and "O" for other types of surfaces. First, remove the cover from the adhesive sticker. Next, stick the device to the underside of the table. Apply firm pressure for at least 5 seconds to ensure it adheres properly.
Screwes
In special cases where the material is not suitable for using a sticker or when it's necessary to make the sensor difficult to remove, MEC4 screws can be used. When using screws:
Ensure the MEC2 (O or P) platform is properly oriented and positioned before installation.
Do not remove the adhesive cover.
Ensure that screws are inserted straight.
The platform must be installed without the sensor attached; the sensor is plugged in only after the platform is securely screwed into the desired place.
Warning: Screws will cause irreversible damage to the wall or ceiling where they are screwed.
Note: The sensor(s) can be detached from the platform at any time using the TL1 tool. Please refer to the Spaceti Sensor uninstallation manual for detailed instructions.
7. Validation
After all devices are installed, review the installation in the Spaceti dashboard.
“Green” Sensor - Unoccupied
“Red” Sensor - Occupied
“Gray” Sensor - Not sending data
All sensors should be in either the green or red state!
If the sensor is gray:
Check if the sensor is turned on:
For the EU version of the device, ensure the protective foil has been removed.
For the US version of the device, try turning the sensor on again.
Verify Data Transmission: Confirm whether the sensor is sending messages (use the Papertrail logging system). If no messages are sent, there may be two potential issues:
Gateway Coverage Issue: Check if the Gateway coverage is sufficient. Try moving the Gateway closer or adding another Gateway to the floor. For detailed information about the Spaceti monitoring system, contact spaceti@support.com.
Device Issue: If the device itself is faulty, replace it with a new one. Ensure the new device is redeployed in the Spaceti system.
