A typical kitchen/bathroom application; fitting a Sensor Pad behind a ceramic tile:-

1. Mark out, channel and run your cable.

We suggest the use of “speaker cable” as this normally has a black line along one of the wires, helping you to keep blue to blue and white to white.

2 Create a “nest” for the Sensor Pad.

Remove a small section of plaster behind the center of where the tile will be, to allow an air gap behind the Sensor Pad and leaving room for any connector you may use.

3 Fit surrounding tiles

Apply tile cement to areas of the wall around the “switch tile”. Leaving a clean area where your “switch tile” will be.

4 Fit your Sensor Pad

Adhere your Sensor Pad to the center of the rear of your selected tile, it is a good idea to use a tile with some sort of distinguishing marks – in this instance we are tiling a farmhouse kitchen; chickens with green tail feathers are the switches!

5 Connect up and fit

Connect your wires to the Sensor Pad. It is a good idea to check at this stage that you have the wires in the correct orientation (white to white and blue to blue). Fit the tile using blobs of silicone sealant.

6 Grouting

Run a good bead of silicone around the gap between the “switch tile” and its neighbours. Leave enough depth for a thin layer of your normal grout to cover this when you grout the rest of the tiles.

Finished!
