Install the mobile sensor outside the vehicle. Install the mobile device (phone or tablet), Bluetooth
module, and other equipment and accessories inside the vehicle.
You can detach the surface temperature sensor and air temperature and humidity sensor and install
them separately if needed. See Mounting temperature sensors separately (with optional accessory kit)
(page 4).
Depending on the vehicle, you may need to use a custom installation extension.
Make sure that air can flow freely through the hood. This helps to keep the hood clean.

Mounting temperature sensors separately
(with optional accessory kit)
Install one of the temperature sensors or both separately. Recommendations for optimal performance:
• HMP113: mount to a location with good air flow and away from heat sources such as car engine.
• MT10: mount under the vehicle and away from heat sources, reflections from sky, and sunlight.

Calibration step 2: plate reference
The reference setting is performed using the reference plate.
Requirement Description
Mobile sensor placement Installed on vehicle
Vehicle position At a standstill
Reference plate surface Dry, no condensation
Conditions, indoors Clean and dry space
Conditions, outdoors No precipitation or fog
Plate adjustment minimizes the eects caused by dierent installation heights and dierences
between individual mobile sensors. Repeat this procedure when changing the installation position.
Keep the reference plate container closed when not in use. Handle the reference plate
with care and keep it clean. Avoid scratching the surface. The reference plate is made of optically
reflective material.
CAUTION!
1. Check that the markings in the body and hood are aligned.
2. Open the reference plate container. Check that the reference plate is clean and dry. If it is not,
carefully remove the dirt.
3. Place the reference plate as shown.
