Wireless Door Alarm System

Testing the Transmitter Location

To help with installation, PTI Security Systems provides a transmitter
alignment tool with every wireless headend. This tool helps the
installer determine the alignment of the transmitter box and the
magnet.
The tool has an LED that indicates when the door is reporting
closed. When the door is closed and the transmitter is properly
positioned, the LED on the transmitter alignment tool will be
ON.
If the LED is not on when the door is closed, the magnet and
transmitter are not properly positioned. The magnet may be too
far from the transmitter box or out of alignment; adjust the position
of the transmitter plate until the LED on the allignment tool turns
ON. Note that the tool is only a test unit only and not a transmitter.
When the plate location has been determined, latch the door and
then push, pull, tug, and move the door to make sure that the door
movements will not trigger a false alarm.
Securing the Transmitter Mounting Plate
PTI recommends using mounting plates whenever possible.
1 Once the transmitter box is sited, install the mounting plate
in that location. A hardware kit is provided for attaching the
mounting plate to different surfaces.
2 The mounting plate must be attached using PL Premium
adhesive and at least two mounting screws, installed in
opposite corners of the plate. This provides maximum strength
and resistance to flexure.
