Installation Manual

Introduction
The DCT6 is a wireless magnetic door contact that is discreetly
hidden within the frame of a door or window.
Installation
Transmitter: Drill a 3/4 in. x 2.75 in. depth (16 mm x 70 mm depth)
hole in the frame and insert the DCT6 transmitter. Secure the
transmitter body A- with two screws or B- with one screw and
remove one flange if it interferes with the radial opening or C-
press fit installation on narrow frames, see Figure 3, A, B and C.
Magnet: Drill a 3/4 in. x 1.1 in. (19 mm x 28 mm) hole in the frame
to be aligned with the transmitter when door/window is closed
and insert the magnet with press fit. Make sure it is aligned with
the transmitter and that the gap, when closed, is not greater than
0.4 in. / 10 mm.
