Mounting Considerations
•
The maximum range of the point transmitter, in open
air, is approximately 300 m (984 feet). In normal
residential or commercial applications, it is
recommended the point transmitter be kept within
100 m (328 in.) of the receiver to which it is
assigned.
•
Mounting the point transmitter on metal surfaces can
reduce its RF range. Mounting the point transmitter
on ferrous metal (iron or steel) surfaces can affect the
operation of the internal magnetic contact.
•
It is recommended the point transmitter be mounted
on the door/window frame and the magnet assembly
be mounted on the moving portion. Note that the
magnet assembly must be mounted within 15 mm
(0.59 in.) of the point transmitter and in an
acceptable orientation as shown in Figure 1.

Mounting the Transmitter
1. Position the mounting plate over the desired
location. If connecting an external device, position
the mounting plate so the wiring passes through the
wire entrance (see Figure 2).
2. Attach the mounting plate using two flathead screws
(see Figure 2).

5 - Release tab
When mounting the base, be sure to note
the location of the magnet.
3. If using the wall tamper feature, use a panhead
screw in the wall tamper breakaway (see Figure 2).
4. From the point transmitter bottom (see Figure 3),
remove the wall tamper breakout with a small tool.
