Replacing a Sensor

  2. Add the new sensor to the appropriate notification group

  1. Register and name the new sensor.

    1. Note the serial number of the new sensor and pull the battery tab. Immediately place the sensor in the installation location. Allow the sensor to go through the registration process.
    2. A successful registration is indicated by a single beep and 3 blue lights.
    3. After the sensor registers, secure the 3 screws on the battery cover and adhere the device using the provided velcro.
    4. Within the Trident Platform, you will now see a banner on the Dashboard indicating an unnamed endpoint. Verify the serial number and select the appropriate device.

    5. On the info tab, select the Building, Floor and name the device using the Room and Location dropdown options.

  2. Add the new sensor to the appropriate notification group(s).
