5.6 Outdoor installations
5.6.1 Position exposed to precipitation
If the sensor installation position might be exposed to precipitation that can cause false alarms, it is
recommended to take the following precautions:
l make a cover to protect the sensor from rain, hail or snow
l position the sensor so that it doesn’t frame the ground where puddles might form
5.6.2 Recommendations for covering the sensor
Below are some recommendations for creating and installing a sensor cover:
l height from sensor: 15 cm
l width: 40 cm, minimum 30 cm
l protrusion from the sensor: 20 cm, minimum 15 cm
l water outflow: at the sides or behind but not in front of the sensor (the cover should be arched and/or
tilted backwards)
5.6.3 Recommendations for positioning the sensor
Below are some recommendations for defining the sensor position:
l height above the ground: minimum 10 cm
l inclination: minimum 20° for 110° field of vision and minimum 10° for 50° field of vision
In general, avoid installations with the sensor at height facing downwards.
5.6.4 Position not exposed to precipitation
If the installation position of the sensor will not be exposed to precipitation, no special precautions are
required.
