We have a crib with the metal wire bottom, do we need to put something down to make it a flat surface or can the sensors be placed on that alone?

We have the same style metal mesh and the sensors kept going off (false alarm). We contacted Hisense and they told use to cut a peice of plywood the same size as the mattress and place that on the springs then the sensors. Also we discovered that something as simple as a ceiling fan beating air on the mattress was making the monitor think our daughter was breathing. We discovered that while testing it without her in the crib. Definitely test everything without the baby in the crib. Hope this helped.

We had a thin piece of press wood on the springs under the mattress with the sensors between them. I think the wood was less then $10 at the local home store.

You can leave out the wire floor piece without a structural problem. However, the plastic ramp that angles from the shelf to the floor wouldn't work as well (it would be very steep). Depending on the type of pet you have, this doesn't matter (I have a chinchilla and removed the plastic ramps because he kept chewing on them).

I haven't needed to. I put the sensor in the water and don't worry about if it touches the side or bottom. Works just fine.

It should go at least under the fitted sheet. We actually put ours right on the crib mattress and then put the waterproof fitted sheet/pad covering the Dex Pad and then the crib sheet onto that.

I have mine on front porch, vertically with the sensor towards the ground. It seems to work all the way around.

The wire from the mat is fairly short from what I can remember - been several months since I installed. Floor sensor wire had plenty of length to it.

I bought this as a gift, but from what I remember the bottom was flat. You may want to ask someone else to make sure.

Yes it can. I removed the wire bottom from my own. It is completely optional.

You can secure the cage without the wire floor but the bottom tray is plastic. I had chinchillas and they chewed on the plastic tray. I supposed I could have cut and smoothed out a metal tray but decided to use felt to cover the wire instead. Hope that helps.

I have not tried it that way since I do not have a flat surface to put it on. It shoul work fine.

no, the sensor is housed in that little thing sticking up out of the unit in the photo. it's connected by a short wire to the unit so i imagine you could cut it and attach your own sensor to it.

You'd have to remove the legs (feet of the crib) but you won't then be gaining any ground, perhaps just an inch or two since at the lowest position mattress is at the bottom.

I would try puting it on but using duct tape on the sides to check if the sensors work .If they work then pill of the tape from bump tek and install it permanently.

put a piece of plywood under it first. it's very cushy and might squish through the slats depending on the spacing. Mine is supported my a metal mesh net thing now, was directly on floor. comfortable both ways.

Just set in on a flat surface and push that mofo down. It's not a smooth design, for sure. Good luck.

The two sensors that are on the far right of the unit might be crusted with deposits.I would fill the base full with 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar (if it's real full it will cover thesensors) or you can chip it off but be careful about damaging the sensor).

Good evening. The sensor must be placed next to the unit when first turned on. Once the base receives the signal for the sensor, you may then re-locate the sensor outside. Melissa S. ~Wind & Weather Customer Service
