It is recommended that the E15 is installed in direct line of sight with a BLE-
enabled Rhombus camera to reduce connectivity issues. WARNING: Improper installation may result in inaccurate or faulty sensor responses. sales@rhombus.com 1919 19th St Sacramento, CA 95811 3 Last Revised: 7/11/2023
|E15 Installation Best Practices To reduce the likelihood of E15 sensing errors or connectivity issues, the following points must be followed:
Have a BLE-enabled Rhombus device in direct line of sight with the E15 to increase signal strength. Avoid RF-blocking obstacles: This includes mounting the E15 inside a freezer, fridge, behind a metal door, etc. Avoid mounting the E15 near a source of heat (e.g., on the output vent of an AC/HVAC system, near exhaust vent, etc.). Ensure sensor intake panel is not covered or blocked by surrounding objects. HVAC vent vent Refrigerator vent Registration The E15 must be awakened from sleep mode to be registered into the rhombus console. There are several ways to wake the device for registration:
Press the button on the E15. Re-Insert battery into the E15. The E15 LED will pulse green when waiting to be registered and will stay awake for two (2) minutes before going back into sleep mode. Button Follow the instructions on the registration page to complete product registration. For additional information on registering the E15 into the rhombus console, please visit:
