MT15 Installation Guide - Indoor Air Quality w/CO2
Media, iframe, embed and object tags are not supported inside of a PDF.
Overview
The Cisco Meraki MT15 is a cloud managed Indoor Air Quality with CO2 Sensor that is exceptionally simple to deploy
and configure due to its integration into the Meraki dashboard and the use of BLE technology. The MT family eliminates
the complex and costly setups required by traditional solutions which removes the limitations of placement of these
sensors.

General Purpose Button
The MT15 has a general purpose button on the top which allows you to wake up the sensor and test if it is able to
connect to a gateway.
Multicolor, multifunction LED Ring
MT15 is the first MT Sensor which can visually indicate the conditions of the environment without the use of the Meraki
Dashboard. This is done via the LED Ring on the front of the device, which can represent any of the measured metrics
and is configurable via the dashboard.
Factory Reset Button
On the back of the sensor, there is a pinhole button to factory reset the sensor. If the button is pressed and held for at
2
least five seconds and then released, the sensor will reboot and it will be restored to its original factory settings by
deleting all configuration information stored on the unit.
USB-C Port
The MT15 sensors have a USB-C Port on the back that can be used to provide an alternate source of power using a
compatible accessory.
RJ45 Port
The MT15 sensor also has a RJ45 port for PoE on the bottom that can be used to provide an persistent source of power
using a PoE switch.
RJ45 and USB-C are ONLY used for Powering the Device. An ethernet link between MT15 and the upstream
switch port will NOT be established. An MV or MR Gateway is still required.

Pre-Installation Preparation
You should complete the following steps before going on-site to perform an installation.
Configure Your Network in Dashboard
The following is a brief overview only of the steps required to add an MT15 to your network. For detailed instructions
about creating, configuring and managing Meraki Sensor networks, refer to the online documentation
(https://documentation.meraki.com/MT).
1. Login to http://dashboard.meraki.com. If this is your first time, create a new account.
2. Find the network to which you plan to add your sensor or create a new network.
3. Add the sensors to your network. You will need your Meraki order number (found on your invoice) or the serial
number of each sensor, which looks like Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx, and is found on the back of the unit or included in the
box.
4. Add the gateway(MV or MR) to the same network as the sensor.
NOTE: Make sure the gateway is in the same network and is online and operational.

Installation Instructions
General Guidelines
As the MT15 helps monitor the ambient air quality metrics, The following tips and guidelines should be considered when
positioning your MT15:
• Mount the sensor about 6-8 feet from the ground. This will help the sensor monitor the air quality at the average
height of human breath.
• One MT15 has approximately 100 sqft of coverage, meaning at least one MT15 should be installed in every 10x10ft
room
• Make sure the MT15 is away from an inlet or an air vent. Higher air flow near the sensor can result in inaccurate
readings.
• Ensure that the MT15 sensor is oriented in an upright position or flat with the LED ring facing down with a clear path
for airflow through the vents (right and left sides).

1. In order to mount the sensor on different locations, there are 2 supported orientations
1. Wall - The mounting plate can be directly screwed onto the wall (Option C) or or on a Junction Box.
2. Ceiling - The device can be mounted on a ceiling using the included screws, or by using a T Rail mount (Not
included) (Option B), or on a Junction Box (Option A).
2. Once the mounting plate is on the desired surface, slide the MT15 sensor onto the plate.
3. Screw the Security Screw into the MT15.
