Abstract
A fastening system for fastening a sensor to a wall includes an installation frame having a plug-in section for a plugging into an opening of the wall and an abutment section for abutting of the installation frame at a margin of the opening at a first side of the wall. A sensor snap-in hook is arranged at the installation frame, movable between a latch position and a release position, and latchable to a step of the sensor. The fastening system includes a fixing frame that is configured to pull the abutment section, while being supported at a second side of the wall, toward the first side of the wall in order to hold the installation frame at the wall. The fixing frame can be coupled to the installation frame and is configured to engage behind the sensor snap-in hook in the coupled state.
Claims18
A fastening system for fastening a sensor to a wall, said fastening system comprising an installation frame that has a plug-in section for a plugging into an opening of the wall and an abutment section, which projects with respect to the plug-in section, for an abutting of the installation frame at a margin of the opening at a first side of the wall,
- wherein at least one sensor snap-in hook is arranged at the installation frame, said sensor snap-in hook being movable between a latch position and a release position and being latchable to a step of the sensor in order to hold the sensor at the installation frame,
- wherein the fastening system comprises a fixing frame that is configured to pull the abutment section of the installation frame, while being supported at a second side of the wall facing away from the first side of the wall, toward the first side of the wall in order to hold the installation frame at the wall,
- wherein the fixing frame can be coupled to the installation frame and is configured to engage behind the at least one sensor snap-in hook in the coupled state and, as a result, to secure said sensor snap-in hook in the latch position.
