Enrolling

To enroll the sensor, set your panel into program mode, refer to your specific alarm panel manual
for details on these menus.
When prompted by the panel:

Touch the magnet to the side of the sensor that has three white lines. This will send
a signal to the control panel as loop 2. Repeat as required.

Connect the provided external wire, and short the wires together. This will send a
signal to the control panel as loop 1. Repeat as required.
Alternately, the 7 digit serial number printed on the back of each unit can be manually entered
into the panel. For 2GIG systems the equipment code is "0637"

Mounting

Included with the contact is double sided tape for the contact and the magnet. For reliable
bonding ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply the tape to the sensor and then to the desired
location. Apply firm pressure for several seconds. It is not recommended to mount the tape at
temperatures below 50°F, although after 24 hours the bond will hold at low temperatures. One
side of the sensor is marked with 3 lines; this indicates the location of the reed switch. The
magnet should be mounted facing this side of the sensor, and it must be no further than 5/8 of an
inch from the sensor.
In addition a mounting back plate with screws is provided. Simply screw the back plate onto the
mounting surface and snap the sensor onto the mounting plate.
To remove the sensor from the mounting plate, first remove the cover. At the bottom of the
sensor (closest to the battery) a small tab will be visible. Use a small flat head screwdriver to press
the plastic tab towards the wall, then slide the sensor up.
Note: Do not use the tape to secure the mounting plate to the wall.

Interchangeable Cover Feature

The contact comes from the factory assembled with a white cover, but included is an optional
brown cover. To change the cover, slide the front cover to disengage it from the sensor then
remove. Replace with the desired cover ensuring the Top (as marked on the inside of the cover)
points away from the battery. You should hear a click when the cover engages and disengages
from the sensor. You do not need to replace the back plastic because once mounted the back is
not visible. To replace the magnet cover you will need to gently pry the white cover off with a flat
head screw driver and snap the brown cover in place.

Replacing the Battery

When the battery is low a signal will be sent to the control panel. To replace the battery:
1. Slide the top cover to disengage it from the sensor, then remove it to reveal the battery.
(Removing the cover will trigger a zone tamper signal to the control panel.)
2. Replace with a CR2032 battery ensuring the + side of the battery faces towards you.
3. Re-attached the cover, ensure the Top (as marked on the inside of the cover) points away
from the battery. You should hear a click when the cover engages properly.
