SETUP AND INSTALLATION

Use a level to ensure there are no such bumps. Use the tape measure to measure from the floor to the desired height of the bottom of the WB80. Mark the wall 4 times (1 foot apart).

• (16) – 12.75” lengths
• (2) – 6.25” lengths
• (4) – 1” lengths

Remove backing from double-sided tape from the (1) USB corner sensor piece (labeled “R-B”) and mount to the bottom right hand corner to begin the build onto the level line created in Step 3.

Return to bottom right hand corner on level line and begin build upward (Sensors 1- 3). Note the sensor number label located on the side of each sensor. Refer to the Installation Layout on Page 6 of this manual.

Attach corner sensor “L-B” to Sensor 9A to begin building upward (use level). Attach sensor 1A upward from left bottom corner piece and continue with sensors 2A – 3A. Attach corner sensor “L-U” to Sensor 4A.
