  4. Centre your device on the marine wood and drill the two self-drill screws into the surface as shown below

  5. Ensure that the device is attached securely to the surface before proceeding


Option 7: Magnets to a metal surface

This installation method is preferred when the IoT Pro must be installed onto metal surface which cannot be drilled

Holding Strength: Medium, limited to the magnet’s holding force (approximately 9 kg depending on the condition of the mating surface)

What you’ll need

Installation Instructions

  1. Ensure that the mating surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, grease and rust

  2. Install the two magnets as shown below and tighten the bolts with a 7 mm spanner

  3. Attach your device at the intended location by using the installed magnets

  4. Ensure that the device is attached securely to the surface before proceeding


Option 8: Double-sided adhesive tape

This installation method is preferred when the IoT Pro must be installed onto a flat surface which is indoors and cannot be drilled

Holding Strength: Low, should only be used indoors with no environmental vibrations and exposure to high temperatures

What you’ll need

Installation Instructions

  1. Ensure that the mating surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, grease and rust

  2. Cut two 50 mm long pieces from the double-sided tape

  3. Attach the two pieces to your device as shown below

  4. Attach your device to the installation surface by pressing firmly

  5. Ensure that the device is attached securely to the surface before proceeding


Option 9: IoT Pro face down

This installation method is preferred when the IoT Pro has the internal GPS option or will be used in distance sensing applications (level sensing for tanks/ wells etc.)

What you’ll need

Installation Instructions

  1. Place the drilling template in the intended location and mark the centers of the two mounting holes as well as the radar hole on the intended surface

    All dimensions in mm

    All dimensions in mm


  2. Use the 6.5 mm drill bit to drill two through holes at the marked locations

  3. Use the 41 mm hole saw to drill the hole for the radar

  4. Clean the drilled holes thoroughly with a deburring tool

  5. Place the provided gasket on the installation surface

  6. Install your device with the two bolts and the flat washers as shown

  7. First tighten the nuts below the installation surface, then tighten the gasket nuts to seal the drilled holes


Option 10: IoT Pro with threaded attachment

This installation method is preferred when the IoT Pro will be used in distance sensing applications (level sensing for tanks/ wells etc.) and a standard threaded fitting is available at the top of the tank/ well etc.
