Installing the Home Control Door/Window Contact
When installing the Home Control Door/Window Contact (sensor and magnet), one component is mounted to
the moving part (window or door) and the other to the stationary part (frame). The magnet can be installed to
the right or left, horizontal or vertical to the sensor. Determine the best installation position for your case.
Install the Home Control Door/Window Contact on a flat and level surface so that the
black release button on the rear of the sensor is depressed when the device is mount-
ed.
Before permanently fastening the Home Control Door/Window Contact at the desired location, test vari-
ous positions to ensure that the magnet triggers the sensor. The distance between the sensor and mag-
net must be < 2 cm.
If the LED flashes red when the window or door is opened or closed, the position of the sensor is opti-
mal.
