» MOUNTING ADVICES
The module enclosure can be mounted directly onto a DIN top-hat rail using the mounting base or surface-mounted using dowels and screws.

• The antenna should be mounted at metallic objects, e.g. at an air tube behind a false ceiling or on a metal plate (minimum dimensions:
180 mm x 180 mm, material: galvanized sheet steel, see accessories).
• In rooms the antenna should be at least 10 cm away from the ceiling.
• The antenna should be vertically aligned downwards.
• Minimal distance to the wall: 10 cm.
• Distance to other transmitters (e.g. GSM/ DECT/ wireless LAN/ EnOcean sender): at least 0,5 m.
• The antenna cable shall be wired in an electric conduit.
• A crushing of cable shall be absolutely avoided.
• The minimal bend radius of the extension cable is 50 mm.
• As for the cable laying the use of an active pull-up device should be avoided, so to avoid any damages on the sheathing respectively on
the connectors.

» COMMISSIONING
Radio sensors send time or event controlled telegrams to the receiver. The receiver verifies the incoming telegrams and output them directly via
their interface. Each telegram allows a precise allocation and consists of the format: type of the telegram, data, sender-ID 32bit.
In order to assure a correct evaluation of the measuring values by the receiver, it is necessary to have the devices learned by the receiver. This is
done automatically by means of a “learn button” at the sensor or manually by input of the 32bit sensor ID and a special “learning procedure”
between sender and receiver. The respective details are described in the corresponding software documentation of the receiver.

» INFORMATION ABOUT SMART ACKNOWLEDGE (SMARTACK)

This bi-directional communication mechanism also allows the building system to send back data to a sensor, i.e. to
overwrite SR06LCD´s set point. Smart Acknowledge requires that both communication devices do support the
Smart Acknowledge mechanism.

Communication must be performed directly with a SmartACK capable receiver, e.g. STC65-FTT LON (SMACK
special version) or STC65+ RS485 Modbus/EVC. Repeaters are not supported, they delay in the telegram
transmission. Sensor and gateway must communicate directly with each other.

Additional Information of the used EEP´s with Smart ACK can be found using the following link:
