Installation Hints

Please consider the following points when mounting the sensor:
The homesight Wireless Door/Window Sensor is constructed of UV-resistant ABS plastic. Do not install
the sensor where it is subjected directly to the elements.
This device's communication range is up to 60 ft (18 m) from the Wireless System Controller in a typical
home, depending on the number of obstacles. These can include metal framing, thick walls, and other
wireless devices operating at 418 MHz. It is recommended that different positions be tried for optimal
results.
Installing Your Door/Window Sensor
The spacing between the sensor and the contact should be between 1/10 inch and 1/2 inch (.25 cm to 1.27
cm).
Mount Your Door/Window Sensor

sensor. Peel the other side of the tape and place the sensor in the location desired. (See the diagram for
sample mounting.)

template found later in this guide, drill two pilot holes for the screws. Affix the screws to the door or
window frame), leaving 1/16" (1.6 mm) space betwe
onto the screws and slide down to lock into place.

extends deeper into the frame than
is beyond the glass before drilling.
