INSTALLING SENSORS

Set the switch on the front of the

Door/Window Sensor to MIN if

you are using it to protect a win-

dow or to MAX if you are using it

to protect a door.

Set the switch inside the Door/

Window Sensor’s battery compart-

ment to the right - N.C. (Normally
Closed). The magnetic switch sup-
plied with the sensor is the N.C.
type.

The, sensor and magnetic switch
supplied are already connected to-

gether. If you need a longer wire,

use any suitable wire to connect the
magnetic switch to the Door/
Window Sensor’s two screw termi-
nals.

Select a location for the Door/

Window Sensor. We recommend

that you purchase enough sensors

to protect the front and back door
and any windows that are obscured
from view or easily accessible (in-

cluding basement windows).

Mount the Door/Window Sensor
and the magnetic switch in the in-
tended location using the supplied

screws or double sided tape.

Install the magnet using the sup-

plied screws or double sided tape.

Note: If you mount the magnetic
switches on metal doors or frames
you should ensure that they are no

more than 3/16" apart. On wooden
surfaces they can be up to 3/8”
apart.

Do not mount the magnet directly onto

a metal surface, use a wood or plastic

spacer.

7. Check for proper alignment by

opening the door or window. The

light on the sensor turns on each

time you open the door or win&w.

Repeat Steps 1 to 7 for any additional
sensors you wish to install (up to 16).

Typical mounting methods

First attach the sensor’s

back cover to the wall.

Then slide the sensor

onto the cover.
