Introduction
The IMS-4000 Door Switch with bridge enables your
IMS-4000 to detect if any unauthorized entry or intru-
sion has occurred. The bridge may be mounted either

doors or windows you wish to monitor. The electrical
connection between the bridge and IMS-4000 is made

Mounting the Door Switch
The door switch is usually installed to function in a normally closed position when the door (or
window or other portal) on which it is mounted is closed. The complete assembly is of two parts: a
magnet in a plastic housing, and a sensor switch with screw terminals in another plastic housing.
Mount the switch by fastening it to the non-moving frame surrounding the door or window. Use
either mounting screws or the adhesive foam tape attached to the switch segments. Fasten the mag-
net near the edge of the movable sash or door. Position the magnet housing no more than 1 /
8
" from
the switch and tighten mounting screws. Use the spacer bar (included) if needed for alignment.
