Description
The DesignLine Tri-Zone Sensor provides the following
features:
Tri-zone sensing. Protects any three zones in close proximity
to each other. Reduces the labor and expense of multiple
sensors to protect multiple zones.
Garage door protection. Protects garage doors with tilt
sensing capability. Reports faults and restores based on the
position of the garage door (no magnet is needed).
Low battery LED indicator. Indicates a low battery condition
by flashing the sensor cover LED every 5 seconds.
Tamper switch protection. Provides a tamper switch that
indicates if the sensor cover is removed.

Note:
You can use a maximum of 18 ft. (6 m) of 24 AWG wire
on each zone (2 and 3).
If possible, locate the sensor within 100 ft. (30 m) of the control
panel. Open-air range is 500 ft. (150 m); environment can
significantly reduce the range.
Programming
Note:
Refer to your panel documentation for complete
programming information.
You can use the sensor jumpers to enable the sensor to
protect three separate areas and report as three separate
zones.
Jumper 1. Leave jumper 1 on as positioned by factory default
(do not remove).
Jumpers 2 and 3. Use the jumpers as indicated below.
For auto learn mode (default jumper settings):

Select the zone to learn by faulting the desired zone.
To use the internal reed sw itch or the tilt sw itch, zone
1 must be programmed (learned).
Zone 1 = Remove the magnet.
Zone 2 = Open zone 2 external contact (fault).
Zone 3 = Open zone 3 external contact (fault).
Note: Replace jumper 2 w hen the zones have been
programmed.
Note:
For zone 1, you must select either the reed switch
(jumper 3 on) or the tilt switch (jumper 3 off).
Garage door protection
You can use the sensor to secure a garage door without
running wires or using a reed switch.
You must program (learn) the sensor before you mount it.
To mount the sensor in a garage door installation:
1. Set jumpers 2 and 3 for your application:
