Quick Start

Preparing Sensor Hardware
Sensors ship with batteries installed. There is a plastic tab over the battery, which needs to be removed. Pull the tab out of
the sensor to connect the battery. If the tab does not pull out easily, you may need to open the case to remove it.
To open the case:
1. Use a pen or similar object to press the button on the opposite side of the case.
2. Remove the battery tab. You may need to remove the battery to remove the tab.
3. Re-insert the battery and close the case.
To open the Single Push Button sensor:
1. Loosen screws and lift the back slightly.
2. Remove the battery tab.
3. Close the case and hand-tighten the screws. Do not overtighten.
To remove the battery tab from the Air Temperature Humidity Sensor
1. Turn the mounting bracket counterclockwise to remove it from the sensor.
2. Remove the battery tab.
3. Reattach the mounting bracket.
Registering the MTCAP Gateway
When the STATUS LED is ready (blinking) on the MTCAP, register the gateway through the
app.
1. Tap Gateways and then tap Add.
2. Tap Chirpstack.
3. Tap the camera icon on the Add Gateway screen and scan the EUI
QR code on the device. The EUI QR code is on a small sticker on
the MTCAP not the main product label.
4. Enter Gateway Details to register the gateway. Region is detected automatically from the
device.
• Gateway Name to identify the gateway.
• IP address: 192.168.2.1
• Description to describe the gateway.
5. Tap Save.
6. Tap Finish to add the gateway to the console.
Mounting Sensors
Use the included large adhesive pad with a sensor to secure the case in position.
For increased security, open the case, and fasten it to the wall using the included tamper screw
as shown. Then reassemble the case. The tab will break away and send a tamper alert if the
case is forcibly removed.
Mounting Window/Door Sensors
For the Window/Door
Sensor, mount the
sensor on the door or
window frame with the
notch facing the door or
window as shown.
Attach the magnet piece
to the door or window so it
aligns with the notch.
Mounting Leak Detection Sensors
Install the water probe so the
probe’s metal pins are flat on
the floor. Use the included
screws to attach the probe in
position on the floor or wall.
Mount the sensor using the
adhesive pad and (optional)
tamper screw.
If needed for better
positioning, run the wire
along pipes or around
obstacles. Coil excess wire.
Mounting the Air Temperature Humidity Sensor
To mount the Air Temperature Humidity Sensor:
1. Turn the mounting bracket counterclockwise to remove it from the sensor.
2. Secure the bracket with the enclosed screws.
3. Put the sensor on the mounting bracket and turn clockwise.
