AVTECH’s Room Entry Sensor monitors the open/closed state of
building doors, windows, cabinet doors, drawers, etc. This two-
piece sensor does not require a power supply and operates very
simply. The first piece has an embedded proximity switch which
opens or closes when the second piece, the magnet, is pulled away
or pushed near. By pairing the Room Entry Sensor with your
Room Alert monitor, you gain a simple, reliable open/closed room
entry status indicator.

Install Your Room Entry Sensor
Step 1: Prepare the included 25' speaker cable.
1. Separate the leads on both ends of the speaker cable
included with your Room Entry Sensor package.
2. Strip one end to expose about ½" of wire and the other
end to expose about ¼".
Step 2: Connect the speaker cable to the Room Entry Sensor.
1. Twist the speaker cable leads with ½" exposed wire to the proximity
switch leads. The proximity switch leads are non-polarized, so you
may connect either side of the speaker cable to either side of the
proximity switch wires.
2. Cap or tape the connected leads to avoid a short.
Step 3: Mount your Room Entry Sensor on an entry point.
1. Position the proximity switch (the piece with wires) against the vertical or horizontal
edge of a door frame, window casing, etc.
Do not use the Room Entry Sensor in hazardous (classified) locations or life/safety
applications.
